The Next Street - Manchester Driving School: Reviews
Positive experience: My instructor Michelle was very kind and kept class fun. I felt that the quality of the lessons was worth the time. Would take a class with The Next Street again if I needed to.
Fantastic experience: My instructor is very cool and we had a good time
Fantastic experience: When I first went to my on road lessons, I thought it was not going to be anything special. I thought it was just going to be a strict driving lesson. But I was so blessed to have Eric as my teacher for my 5 lessons. He made my lessons fun and taught me very well. He connected with me the first time I got into the car and made me feel comfortable with asking about anything. I just recently passed my test too and I have no one other to thank besides Eric!!
Fantastic experience: They are really excellent; it was delightful to see the kind of passion they have for customer service. Thank you for holding that beacon high.
Thanks so much, Vin! We appreciate your lovely comment :)

Fantastic experience: I went in thinking it was going to be the worst 2 hours of my life for the total time. However, Jess made the experience way more fun than I expected.

Fantastic experience: Teaching was great, I enjoyed the 30 hr course
Fantastic experience: - The Next Street School has HUGE opportunities to teens and adults who want to learn to drive. I recommend the 30 hr course, because you learn more about how to control the car, and how the car operates. You won't find another school that offers great payment plans, services and an amazing instructor as Jessica Otriz. She has such a outgoing, humorous, and confident personality. Her confidence about teaching students to drive just radiates off of her, she never let me feel anxious about being on the road or behind the wheel. She works directly on what you need to improve on, and she never once makes you feel like a failure, I promise you, that the Next Street School is worth checking out!
Fantastic experience: The teachers do a phenomenal job in presenting the topics in an engaging and fun way. Jessica did a really good job in keeping us all engaged with her positive outlook and encouraging attitude. I would definitely recommend for those looking to get their driver's license.

Fantastic experience: Jessica is the bomb! Learned alot!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this driving program and their staff! Jessica is very real , down to earth with these kids at can reach them at their level . Impressed from the moment we walked in up until the driving test! My sons driving instructor Hector was awesome again very detailed yet able to put my son at ease and feel comfortable and confident on his knowledge. And just when I thought I could not be impressed enough my son took his test in Glastonbury the gentleman there reviewed everything with the kids while they were waiting , asked them questions, and gave them reassurance they would do well. I have referred 4 people here and will refer again and again a seamless smooth process from beginning to end! Money well spent ! Thank you all from the bottom of our heart you guys ROCK !

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed drivers ED, Jessica was really a good teacher, she was funny and she made the experience fun. I came in here thinking it would be the worst experience of my life, but it wasn’t because she really bring good energy and vibes into the classroom. Jessica taught me a lot, and I would really recommend the Manchester Next Street to my friends. Thanks Jess for the grey education, good laughs and a very enjoyable classroom atmosphere
Positive experience: I enjoyed my experiance at the next street for my 30 hours of classes Jessica was a wonderful teacher who made the class interesting and enjoyable. Which was not what I expected from a drivers ed class. I while sometimes the lessons could drag on for a bit I would reccomend this class to anyone who wants to learn about driving and enjoy it too.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed drivers ed with Jess! No it wasn’t what I expected it was more, her teaching style made the classroom fun and comfortable. As a student who came in with no knowledge I’m leaving with a whole lot gained! I would definitely recommend her class specially.
Fantastic experience: I never been to a school with a nicer teacher. The driver ed class was great, but as I expected we mostly did notes. I wish it were a little more interactive or had more games. Jessica really did help the class feel less boring than American Driving School by a long shot. Would definitely do school here again.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed Drivers Ed a lot. My teacher was Jessica Ortiz and she had a lot of energy to keep her students engaged. They had great video demonstrations to help understand concepts!
Fantastic experience: Honestly I looked forward to drivers ed more than school. The teacher taught us the content as well as made the class a safe and friendly environment. Jessica was an amazing teacher and I’m so glad I had her as my teacher.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my time at the next street. My teacher Jess made the class extremely fun to be in and because of her the students felt more comfortable to talk out and interact which made the whole experience better. Not only was the class fun but also informative, I learned a lot from this class which I wouldn't have known if I just studied myself. I would highly recommend to sign up for the Next street as it is a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Yeah the place is pretty good. A few parts are boring but its overall pretty engaging. My teacher was Jess and Raul was the guest speaker. The teaching was top notch
Fantastic experience: The Next Street Manchester is a solid driving school. The educational learning for each driving lesson is excellent and the learning instruction videos are of the highest quality. The classroom activities are swell if a little bit distracting due to the excitement of the class participants. Other than that, my whole experience was solid & of the utmost educational quality! Jessica Ortiz is my instructor & she did a great job emphasizing the seriousness of the driving subjects she taught. The Special Guest Speaker known as Raul is a great supporting person to be apart of my 30 hr. Classes!
Fantastic experience: My teacher was Jess Ortiz. I expected driving to be boring, but it was actually really fun! It was also very informative and I feel like I learned a lot of new information. I would recommend taking a course at The Next Street.
Fantastic experience: This class was not only very educational, it was also made very fun! My teacher Jess Ortiz made learning as fun as it could be! I have and will continue to highly recommend this class.
Fantastic experience: Overall great experience with Jess Ortiz! Jess makes the full 30 hours fun instead of boring with her crazy stories. Would definitely reccomend to anybody instead of doing Cici's.
Positive experience: Although I wouldn’t say taking a thirty hour course over two weeks was particularly enjoyable, it was a good opportunity to get drivers ed out of the way. The teacher, Jessica Ortiz, definitely made it more enjoyable by being engaging and informative. If you want the discount from taking a thirty hour course and have two weeks over which you don’t mind being somewhat drained, this is the best option. In other cases, I would still recommend The Next Street.
Negative experience: Writing this review in class right now. I guess it’s cool. Jessica was very relatable to the younger audience because she keeps up with our slang and language. The Next Street is not very informative. I left with NO new knowledge about driving. Most of the 30 hours i spent in class was playing irrelevant games and telling personal stories. Jessica is a wonderful person but The Next Street is the problem.
Fantastic experience: Expected the class to be dragging and boring (being a drivers ed class in the summer), but turned out to be an enjoyable class. Jessica (educator) was great at getting messages across and also making the class fun and engaging.
Fantastic experience: Jessica Ortiz in manchester next street accelerated was kind good. Would reccomened to everyone. She is serious in getting you to remember things as well as her wacky crazy stories that make the class fun and have everyone engage in a conversation. She dprs have her moments where she can get a bit off topic but only when we have completed most of the material
Fantastic experience: I had Jessica Ortiz as my teacher and truthfully I had expected the class to be boring and unsatisfactory but I actually had a really good time learning from her if she was my teacher for high school I don't think that I would have ever dropped out I recommend that anyone wanting to learn about driving come here and learn from Jessica.
Fantastic experience: I have Jess Ortiz as my driver ed teacher and she made these two weeks go by so fast. Great teacher
Fantastic experience: My teacher was Jessica Ortiz. I expected drivers ed to be boring, but I've heard that this place was a good place to learn. It was awsome. You learn drivers ed in a fun way and play some games along with it. It is really laid back and relaxed. I would strongly recommend this to my friends.
Positive experience: Really enjoyed how Jess made driver’s ed way more interesting than I expected it to be.
Positive experience: It taught me what I needed to know, so it's definitely a good class. I definitely enjoyed it, and I'd definitely take coming to going to the DMV
Fantastic experience: Very good experience. Learned a lot of information in order to pass my license test. Jessica Ortiz was a great teacher and kept the class engaged even with long topics
Fantastic experience: The class was educational but I felt the 30 hours could have easily be cut to 15-20 hours. I had Jessica and I would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I really like this. Not exactly what I expected. I thought it would be very slow. I had Jessica Ortiz. I learned weird ways to get high and drunk. I have already recommended this to my friend. CHIKEN NUGGETS!
Fantastic experience: Fun and enjoyable. My teacher was Jessica O. I expected it to drag on but gladly it didn't.
Fantastic experience: The accelerated course at Simsbury High School flew by. Jess’ personality made the class nothing but fun and I never once dreaded going to class. I had a great experience with the people there and would definitely recommend the course.
