Fantastic experience: A very good experience. My driving instructor was Mr. Wahlberg and my class instructor was Mr. Neff. Both amazing instructors.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Great education. Great application. Our son was excited to go each time. Michael Maddock was his driving instructor and was fantastic.

Fantastic experience: They were very kind and taught me a lot of important things.
Fantastic experience: The class was great. I learned a lot and they provided many note slides to make sure I understood the concepts. They broke up the class well with guest speakers coming in twice a day. The teacher in the classroom was very kind and full of energy to make sure we didn’t get bored. I also had a great experience driving with my instructor, Matt Walberg. He providing me with visual references and processes to go through in each step of driving. He was very mindful that I was a new driver and did not scold me for my mistakes. He made sure I knew what I was doing and provided me with the information I need to continue driving safe and properly.
Fantastic experience: Great drivers education, best instructors. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Michael Maddock was an exceptional driving instructor for my daughter during her behind-the-wheel sessions. He genuinely cares about his students and went above and beyond to ensure she felt confident and safe on the road. His patience, clear guidance, and encouraging approach made all the difference in her learning experience. It's rare to find someone as dedicated as Michael, who truly wants his students to succeed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch instructor! I highly recommend Behind the Wheel driving school as well. We are repeat customers and highly recommend this school over any others!
Fantastic experience: The class is very thorough and in-depth with a welcoming environment for questions. All instructors present were patient and encouraging during the driving portion of the class.
Fantastic experience: I’m a student that just finished the behind the wheel driver education. Mr. Walberg was so patient with me the whole time and was so calm and I think that made me more relaxed when I was nervous about driving. One of the best experiences I have had! One more thing is when I would make an error he would not yell and tell me what I did wrong while being loud he would just be calm and tell me after or during what I had done wrong and make sure I did not do it again.
Fantastic experience: Mike is an amazing instructor. He was very calm and the drive was such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend asking for him personally when booking any lessons. The overall experience from booking to the lesson was easy and pleasant.
Fantastic experience: The two day instruction not only teaches the kids about the rules of the road but they bring in safety experts and persons affected by reckless driving to talk to the kids. Mr. Neff is a great driving instructor. He is so patient and kind and reassuring with the kids while driving. I recommend using this driving programs over others in the area (my other kids went thru other programs).

Fantastic experience: I am a student and I was taking both the classes and the driving lessons and I was amazed by how much time that I got to experience the driving as well as the time I was driving. I had Mr. Walberg he was very professional while still being able to talk to me while I was driving. He was very helpful and kind and he helped me learn the troubles of parking. I would totally recommend this course over any other due to the amount of detail and the amount of information and resources that they have.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional instructors and learning experience. This is our second child that we have entrusted Behind the Wheel with teaching them how to drive. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Our, just, 15 yo, daughter had a great experience throughout this program. She gained so much knowledge and confidence. Mr. Maddock was very patient during the drive portion. He gave her positive feedback and many compliments as she was learning. She came home after every drive session happier than the last. And had so many kind things to say about her teacher! He even gave my husband and I an end of class summary and feedback to let us know what happens next and how best to support her. Thank you for this service. She even plans to drive a bit on our upcoming road trip! 100% recommend!

My daughter thought he was a fun teacher and at the end of the diving portion he gave my husband and me many tips to use with our daughter. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I am 14 years old and my instructor was Mr. Maddock. He was incredibly kind and supportive. Even though I made a few mistakes, he would never get upset with me and would teach me what I could do differently next time. I thought drivers ed would be a nightmare and extremely stressful.. but Mr. Maddock was always patient with me and my partner and I had a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: My son had an amazing time in this class! The classroom environment was very enjoyable.

Both kids learned a lot. They have special speakers come during the classroom time like semi truck drivers to talk about safety & what they see while driving, etc. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Mr. Maddock was the driving instructor for all three of my boys who took this course. We liked him a lot for our first son, and were very happy he was available to then teach our twin boys 2 years later. He was a very patient instructor and I had peace of mind knowing my boys were in good hands when he picked them up for driving. He taught them skills about driving that neither my husband or I would think to cover. My oldest son who has been driving a while now will still mention driving tips and best practices that Mr. Maddock taught him.
Fantastic experience: Caitlyn really liked her experience of driving with Mr Whalberg. She feels much more confident in her driving skills now.

Fantastic experience: I’m an anxious driver, I’ve struggled a lot with driving. So I decided to take some one on one driving lessons. I called BTW and talked to Amy to explain my situation. She was very kind and listened to me patiently. She paired me with Mr. Maddock! Now I can’t say enough good things about him. He is encouraging, knowledgeable, patient and kind. He helped me boost my confidence and made me a better driver. I also took the in person classes with Mr. Neff who was very resourceful. I can’t not recommend Behind the Wheels enough! Thank you to the team of BTW especially Mr. Maddock! You’re a rockstar!

Fantastic experience: It was fun. You don’t always get it on the first try. They help work on everything like parking, reversing, driving on public roads, driving on the highway, 3 point turns and how to work the inside of the car. It wasn’t too hard to figure out, all you have to do is practice before every lesson to help your driving. Listening to what your instructor says is the most important thing in the driving experience. This was really fun thanks.

He made my son very comfortable with this style of teaching and also was able help my son retrain his teaching. You have a rare gem in Mr. Maddock. Thank you for all of your help.
Fantastic experience: Mr Maddock was my driving instructor and I have not found such a great instructor in my life time. On the second day of my driving, he had me drive on the road and the driving speed was 45 mi/hr . I had not even imagined to drive with such speed limit however I was fully capable of handling the car with his instructions. His Styles of instruction is so simple, informative and learner friendly that helped me overcome my nervousness and can handle the car with minimum efforts. With his guidance and patience, he taught me the skills of a safe driver. If aI’m in the position of grading his instruction skills, I have no reservations to grade 100 out of 100. He cares the learners as a member of his family. He always says “getting a driving lisence is not a big achievement but driving safely on the road is my motto. “ The directress of the driving school, Ms. Amy is so matured in her managerial skills that she always takes care of the learners and tries to provide the best service even in the hard times. Thank you so much for providing such a great opportunity!

Positive experience: i learned a lot at behind the wheel drivers Ed; it taught me everything that I would need to know when driving on the road. i do feel like sometimes they go over new information quickly, so it was a bit hard to take in everything and remember it all. however, that might have been because the in-class teachings were only two days, maybe extending it to three or four days would be beneficial to let students really remember what's important. but overall, the driving itself was very helpful in learning the rules of the road.
Fantastic experience: I noticed significant improvement when my son drove with me after each driving session. I also spoke with my sons driving instructor, Mr. Kilber, after each driving session.
