Fantastic experience: I’m not very good at English, but they taught the lessons in a very kind, fun, and careful way! The test was also easy to understand and very approachable. I highly recommend here!!Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: “Highly recommend Middlesex Driving School! The instructors are patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, making the learning process stress-free and enjoyable. They focus on building confidence behind the wheel while teaching safe driving practices. The scheduling is flexible, and the team is always accommodating. Whether you’re a beginner or need a refresher, Middlesex Driving School is the perfect place to learn.
Fantastic experience: Everybody here was super nice and helpful My examiner Johnathan was extremely fair and kind. He helped me perform to the best of my ability to pass my exam!
Fantastic experience: Mr. Smith is an INCREDIBLE driving instructor. He prepared me very well for my driving test. I recommend Middlesex Driving Academy to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Good school, with really nice instructors.
Fantastic experience: i highly recommend this place! my instructors were great as was the owner and office staff. it was easy to schedule lessons and everyone was very nice. i learned a lot and felt good about everything when it was time to take my road test.
We are glad to hear it Maddie! It was a pleasure working with you as well. We will see you on the road :)
Fantastic experience: I moved to the US in 2017, and I hadn’t driven much since then. I started taking driving lessons in mid-2024. Re-learning the driving principles and unlearning my bad habits was a challenge for me, but I had a great experience with the individual lessons. I took six driving lessons and one recap lesson before the road test. I also took the road test with the school and passed on my first attempt. I might take some additional individual lessons to gain more experience on the freeway. Mr. Smith (the owner) is amazing at instilling confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Middlesex Driving Academy.
Fantastic experience: 私たちには小さな子供達がいるのですが、Smithさんが何度も気遣ってくださり、子連れでも安心してロードテストを受験することができました。私たちの英語が不得意な部分でもサポートしてくださり、おかげさまで試験をスムーズに乗り越えることができました。日本人の間では別のドライビングスクールが有名かと思いますが、このMiddlesex Driving Academyを選んで良かったと思います。本当にオススメです!!Thank you so much!!
Negative experience: Ms. Fernando is super disrespectful and unprofessional, she would make smart comments through the lessons, and overall a horrible instructor and horrible person. On the other hand, Soto was an awesome instructor, he would explain things very well, super nice, annd very attentive and just a really great person and instructor.
Fantastic experience: Down-to-earth, friendly, and geniunely caring. My daughter was so traumatized by another very well known driving school that she decided she never wanted to drive again! Mr. Smith and Ms. Panniello put my daughter at ease, relieved her of her anxieties and rebuilt her confidence. After only a few short weeks of lessons, my daughter passed her road test on the the very first try. Midlesex Driving Academy treated my daughter and I like family. Mr. Smith is a genuine, kind-hearted, humorous and knowledgable instructor. He knew how to calm my daughter's nerves and get the best from her. I will always be grateful. This is the driving school you want for any age driver.
Fantastic experience: This family-run business really cares about their driving students! They work hard to make sure students are confident and knowledgeable behind the wheel. Rick and his instructors kindly answered any questions I threw at them. Highly recommended!
Negative experience: how can i take classes with you if i can't speak english well,i speak spanish
Please speak with our office and find out details before leaving us an unwarranted negative review. We do have Spanish speaking driving instructors. They do not teach our 30hr class as the demand has not called for it. Their abilities are better utilized by our Spanish speaking population behind the wheel. There are many MA driving schools that do offer 30hr class in Spanish. Best of luck.
Negative experience: We’ve had a very frustrating experience here with our daughter. We can only get one 1-hr lesson scheduled every 2-4 weeks, so the process to get the required hours is taking an extremely long time. I’ve heard of other driving schools where the kids get 2-hr lessons, and multiple lessons per week. I feel we’re locked into Middlesex since we paid for the whole package. It’s taking about 10 months to get through 20 hours of lessons.
Hi Vicky- Upon further review your student took class in Jan. 2024 (8mo ago) and was scheduled immediately & consistently every time we received a response to a scheduling email. We just sent you an email. There are some open lessons tomorrow & Friday if your student is available, just let us know. Majority of our students complete full driver's ed. within 6 months. MDA
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Middlesex Driving Academy, great stuff and Mr. Rick is the best, very patient and funny, the day of the road test he is there, making sure everyone is ok and relaxed, he explains and goes over with you about the road test, just to refresh your memory with the last minute details, and it helps a lot, I can’t thank him and his stuff enough for all the great customer service and attention they give to each one of us, I passed my road test this last Saturday , and I am very happy and excited to get on the road, once again, Thank you so much .
Daniel, congrats and it was a pleasure to have you as a customer!!! Thank you very much, Mr. Smith
Fantastic experience: Very good driving school! I did all my lessons and a road test there and everything went good ! I passed first try road test. I definitely recommend ,they are very flexible with lessons and are try to best to be fair with everyone.
Eduarda, Very happy that you're happy with all the staff here at MDA. Thank you for coming here and it was a pleasure to serve you! Many thanks for those kind words too!!!
Fantastic experience: I took my driving test with them and got my license. The tester was very patient, kind, and very fair. I didn’t feel overly nervous or anxious at all. Great place and people!!
Thank you for the kind review. We try to make everyone comfortable no matter if they're taking 18 lessons or only a road test. So happy to hear you became licensed on your first try :)
Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy was a great place for my son to get classroom instruction for his driver's permit (and to understand the rules of the road). The driving instructors were nice and it was convenient for us to have the instructors come to our house on the weekdays to pick up our son for his lessons. With ~1 lesson/week, it is perfect timing (even allowing for a few weeks off) to get your permit, have your observations/driving lessons, and then be ready for the road test after your had your permit for 6 months.
Gina, Thank you for taking time to write this stella review.... We do this for everyone every day and very happy to to serve your family. Best wishes and thank you, Mr. Smith
Fantastic experience: Thank you Mr. Smith & Mrs. Fernando for your beautiful guidance. I am really happy and satisfied with the driving classes. I will highly recommend someone who is new to driving. Staffs are very welcoming and super friendly. I am really impressed with the service they have provided. Thank you very much and all the very best everyone.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! The whole staff is very supportive and excellent instructors. I have llittle to no experience in driving at all. I took a 6hr driving lessons and passed the road test. I am most thankful to Mr. Smith! He is a wonderful instructor, very detailed, and supportive.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff was incredibly supportive and patient throughout the entire process. No matter how many times I emailed or called asking questions, Ricky, Amanda, and others explained things clearly and calmly, and never made me feel discouraged. Their support really boosted our daughter's confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to their excellent instruction and unwavering patience, she passed her driving test! I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn how to drive in a supportive and positive environment.
Fantastic experience: Rick is a phenomenal driving instructor! He is so kind and patient. The office staff is very professional and friendly as well! Middlesex Driving Academy is truly the best of the best!
Fantastic experience: I have been driving for years but failed a first attempt when I booked a test directly with RMV at a test center. I decided to try going through a school and have a practice test beforehand. Middlesex Driving Academy was very thorough with the process from start to end. From the time I called for my first inquiry about their process, the person over the phone gave very clear instructions and followed me through the necessary steps promptly, until the very end of my test. The instuctor who took me for my practice was very encouraging and put me at ease. It gave me the confidence I needed and the support I was looking for to make sure that the bad habits that I had picked up were corrected and that I was familiar with what the road tester was looking for when evaluating with my driving. It was worth the money I paid. I passed!!!
Francis we at MDA are so happy to hear you had a positive experience with us. It was a pleasure working with you!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about this school. We switched to Middlesex from another school when that school abruptly changed their program and road test preparation. Middlesex offers Saturday road tests, and prep on the actual course. The owner Rick may be the nicest guy you'll meet. The drive from North Reading to Winchester was worth it, I wish we signed on with this school from the beginning!
Thank you for your kind review Bridget, it was a pleasure working with you and your family :)
Fantastic experience: Our family loves this driving school! We just had our 4th and last child to complete the program and passed his road test yesterday! They are professional, friendly and full of information! The instructors are amazing! All four of my kids were incredibly prepared for their road test. Also, the convenience of taking the road test at the driving school and not having to go to the registry is immeasurable! They take the stress out of everything! Thanks Mr. Smith!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience from start to finish. Great staff, scheduling is easy, would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Best driving school in the Boston area!! Exceptional instructors/lessons, and a supportive learning environment without any stress! I am forever thankful to my wonderful instructors, Ricky and Maria, as well as Amanda for their help and support!
Thank you for this wonderful review Ezgi. It was a pleasure working with you as well. All of us at Middlesex are glad to have met you & assisted in getting you ready for your road test. If you need anything in the future feel free to reach out :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, super friendly staff, and Mr Rick is the best. I recommend this academy with my eyes closed
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely vibe of this school. I did learn driving from a different school but they didn’t know the tips that you need to know during the test and I failed. But then I heard about Middlesex and after hearing my story, Mrs Ryan was great by taking me on a test drive and helped me with the rules and tips I needed to follow during the test. Mr Smith too helped with his suggestions and best practices to follow while on road. I did pass my test and kudos to them.
Fantastic experience: All the staff were amazing! Super helpful and supportive throughout the whole process and treated everyone with respect. Best driving school!
Thank you Sam, it was a pleasure working with you as well :)
Fantastic experience: They are very organized and friendly. I had some private lessons with Mr.Smith & he was really good in making sure we understand how to drive safely and also the requirements to pass the road test. Would highly recommend the school.
Fantastic experience: I came here to take the road test, despite taking lessons from another school. They made everything effortless and incredibly efficient. Very professional and from the times I have personally seen, very respectful.
Fantastic experience: I am here in MA on a visa with some driving experience in India. Wanted to get acquainted with the rules here so took the driving lessons with the school and passed the road test on the second attempt. The school is very well organized and usually busy with many students but they helped me get the sessions in the evening time so that i didn't had to miss my office hours. They are lovely people and the owner has a very good sense of humor :). Overall I am very delighted with the experience.
Fantastic experience: My daughter enjoyed all the instructors she had here and they also provide night driving lessons which I feel is important when they are learning to drive. We signed up for the driving test at the school and it's nice because the kids are familiar with the area after having lessons. They were great here and would recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Had a great overall experience. I just needed a practice run with some more focus in rules and regulations while driving. My instructor was Mrs. Ryan. She was very polite and gave clear suggestions and instructions on where I can improve. Ended up passing the test!
Fantastic experience: This is my third driving school, and by far the best! They are so on top of everything which was refreshing giving the first two schools were a nightmare. Friendly, organized and so thorough in their training. Such a great experience! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: This is place is great! This is a testament to how cool the owner, Mr. Rick Smith, is. Mr Smith is very pleasant to work with, supportive, and has an awesome sense of humor. The academy reflects the professionalism of its people. Mrs. Ryan is a great driving instructor!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience with Middlesex Driving Academy. Instructors are great. Convenient location, straightforward process to schedule observation and driving hours. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I just finished behind-the-wheel instruction and backseat observation at Middlesex Driving Academy, and my experience has been great!! All the instructors are kind and offer very useful corrections. My driving has improved a lot since I started here. I highly recommend Middlesex Driving Academy— it’s easy to book lessons, and you get the times that you request! Also I passed the road test on my first attempt!
Negative experience: Good classroom and driving instruction. However, they are terrible at answering their phone, returning phone calls, and replying to email. This makes scheduling lessons a nightmare. The convention is for everyone to email their availability every Friday. But it is not in their interest to have any classes scheduled because the $1000 payment was up front. I have yet to receive any email replies from them. The only workaround is to drive over there when they are open and ask to schedule a few days. HTH
Fantastic experience: Middlesex is a great place to learn how to drive! I had an outstanding experience with all the instructors, but I must express my gratitude to Ms Fernando. I had her for many of my lessons and she was very funny, helpful with improving my parallel parking, and also with other questions I had. Thanks to her and all my other instructors at middlesex driving, I passed my road test first try! I would 100% recommend signing up for lessons here.
Fantastic experience: I'm in my early 40s, grew up in NYC, lived in Boston and just never ended up getting a license. Once my wife and I bought a house in Medford it was time. There wasn't a not nice person there, supportive and great. I especially have to call out Joanie (Ms Fiore) cause she was 85% of my lessons. Perfect amount of calming sass, yet also assistance when you have questions and never caused stress. I passed my road test on first try. This place is 100% encouraged for people of all ages. There's no convenient way to do it on either side, but I do wish they could lock the same instructor for each lesson. They're all good, but some teach differently than others, and if you get someone that isn't your usual it causes unnecessary nerves if their style is not the same.
Fantastic experience: Passed my road test thanks to these amazing people. Thank you to everyone here you were all great and I wish the best for y'all. Rick's a great instructor, highly recommend him for road test practice.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Middlesex Driving Academy enough!!! I’m 23, never had my license and finally got myself to book some adult driving lesson. I went in very nervous but immediately felt a sigh of relief after meeting Ms. Ryan! I was lucky enough to take all of my classes with her and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. She was personable, helpful, and beyond approachable. Every class I became more and more confident in myself and the skills I was building. I took my road test today and passed. But beyond that, I have gotten over my fear of driving and I’m just so grateful I decided to take lessons at Middlesex Driving Academy! Everyone I encountered in the office was so positive and welcoming and I’m thinking of buying some more classes just to hang around them again!!
Fantastic experience: Just passed my road test here today after taking the 6 Adult Lessons package! Before coming to this school I was terrified of driving. They helped me through that, and helped me feel (reasonably) comfortable and eager to keep practicing! The owner, Rick, has been very reassuring and friendly from the start. I had the pleasure of learning from Mrs. Fiore and Mrs. Ryan, who I had an excellent experience with! I would definitely recommend this school both to student or adult learners!
Fantastic experience: Middlesex driving offered a great experience for my daughter. Classroom time was easy as she did it online for a week. Driving was sometimes hard to schedule but they helped to make it on time so she was able to get her license when eligible. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing. Classes are awesome. I really enjoyed my time there and learned a lot!
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my time learning to drive with middlesex driving. Ms. Fiore was awesome, very patient and made me feel like it was okay to make mistakes while making sure we were safe. She even texted me the night before wishing me good luck and telling me I could do it because she remembered I was nervous about the test.
Fantastic experience: Extremely nice and polite people. Rick seems to really try and get drivers to be as comfortable as they can until the date of the test.
Negative experience: I would give zero stars if I could. That was probably the worst customer service I've ever gotten in Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington State combined. Not only would he cut me off at every sentence, which was difficult for me to have to repeat myself and speak so much more than necessary because I'm dealing with a very hoarse and painful "lost voice", but he was rude and didn't care about anything I was asking. All he wanted to do was upsell, and when I asked for the minimum requirement for the road test that a very nice woman from there told me about a few weeks ago when I called he refused to tell me and kept telling me he wanted more from me. He told me he was the owner and I did tell him that he was being rude and the woman I spoke with before was great and I just wanted a reminder on the things she told me. Try to upsell all you want, but not even listening to what I was saying and not answering any of my questions is disgusting behavior coming from a business that requires human interaction. I work at a restaurant. I deal with rude people all the time. This guy was legitimately terrible. Astoundingly. Like, it was so severe that I can only assume something really terrible just happened to him and he's very mad, but I'm sorry that does not excuse how I was treated. He said multiple times how he is the owner and said "I'm glad the person I hired was nice". Well, I'm glad the owners where I work don't talk to people that way. They also don't feel the need to identify themselves as the owner every 2 seconds. Idk. I'm appalled because I legitimately do not think I've ever had a similarly terrible experience anywhere ever. He ended up telling me to go to Agganis Driving School. I was the one calling him. I had the questions. Not only would he not listen, but he did not answer anything. The whole situation was bizarre. Maybe it wasn't even the owner and was some super angry employee that is lashing out at the company. If so, I think it's working.
Fantastic experience: My daughter went to this driving school. She had a great experience. Registering another one of my kids today.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my road test today! Thanks middlesex driving academy. Great instructors and positive community! I got my licence on the exact day I was eligible. I appreciate the organized system and how quickly I was able to get through the lessons! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy is great. I was able to get driving lessons super fast and the instructors are very helpful. Mrs. Ryan was a huge help throughout the whole process of getting my lessons done and getting my license.
Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy is the best. Always helpful when you don’t understand the process, kind people, and effective instruction. I got my license on my exact day of eligibility. Instructors really take an interest in their students capabilities and well being. Thank you Middlesex.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this place enough. My husband and I both passed using this school and the staff were all so helpful, friendly and efficient. My instructors were great but particularly Mrs Ryan who quickly managed to get me doing my manoeuvres so confidently I wasn’t worried about them at all in my test. Overall, a fantastic experience.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Smith is the best instructor. He's very patient and encouraging. A little hard to get in and start the classes but it's worth it.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school around, great instructors,I had a good experience with both my kids thank you.
Fantastic experience: Due to rude instructors, I failed twice and grew anxious about it, but I can testify that Mr. Rick Smith and his crew are among the best, nicest, most inspiring, and outstanding instructors I have ever encountered. I would only publish a review if it was worthwhile, and Middle Sex Driving School is an excellent place to get your license. If you're a teenage boy, please take lessons from Mr. Rick rather than Mrs. Ryan because, Mrs. Ryan can make it difficult for you to concentrate on driving "jokes aside, The atmosphere at the Academy was fantastic; it reminded me of Steve Carell's The Office series. Just give a call to the best people and earn your license. Thanks, Priyam Mehta
Fantastic experience: An amazing driving school! I enjoyed my time learning with Mrs. Ryan! She truly makes driving for a new learner a great experience! The whole staff at MDA are extremely friendly and cooperative! Mr. Smith is hilarious! I am forever grateful and thank you to the teachers for the time you take to teach us students! - Jenny with HER LICENSE ☺️
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! Everyone here was incredibly helpful and cheered for me when I finally got my license! Thank you so much to Rick and mrs ryann for continuing to help and Open their schedules up for me. Recommend to anyone 100%
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Middlesex Driving Academy enough for the guidance on how to make me succeed on the road test. A special thanks to Mrs. Ryan, the best driving instructor ever. She just knows what to do to make you overcome your limitations. Do not waste money somewhere else. Get it done on MDA.
Fantastic experience: Miss Ryan and Rick are wonderful people to help you accomplish your goal I recommend this school for taking lessons or classes or even private lessons I will always use them
Fantastic experience: Awesome and so welcoming place, amazing people and lessons well taught and communicated. Great time in the online class and there are also classes in person. Thank you Middlesex and thank you Mrs.Ryan !!
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to give a hearty 'shout out' to the friendly and helpful staff at MDA. I felt like an extension of the family and they made the whole process enjoyable. See you on the road :)
Negative experience: To start with i enrolled in this driving school for my road test and prior to that i did take lesson with different driving school who suggested me this school for road test. I just took 1 class as i knew how to drive and just wanted guidance for road test. I went in on thursday evening for class and the instructer told me to adjust my seat and i asked him how to do that and he started laughing and commented how are you suppose to pass the exam if you cannot fix your seat. REALLY? Every car is different and this was a very old car with weird buttons. Class was of 30 mins he bearly taught me anything and was asking all sort of personal questions like where i work, what was my profession etc I had my first road exam with them which i failed obviously. So i enroll for second lesson and requested for other driving instructer. The scheduler called me 3 times i remember and 1 slot she told me was available for 9pm on tuesday i told her that is really late i cannot make it, she called me at 2:34pm on thursday and demanded to come right away for 2:30pm class i told her i live 30 mins away cannot make it and i was surprised that she started yelling at top of her voice as i was not available at her time that was super horrifying experience. Still i had to take the test with them as i was registered and they will charge me any way and again i failed. Than i enrolled in other school and just in one attempt i passed the road test. Whoever told you that it is easy to pass driving test at this school was wrong. Worst experience ever don’t enroll here!!!! Also very pricy than any other school.
Fantastic experience: All the instructors are very nice and good and what they do. They are also very patient and understanding.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Website was very helpful for keeping track of hours and they were very accommodating with getting all the hours in so as soon as we got 16.5 yrs he could take the test next day! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! I was taught very well in only 6 lessons and passed my road test on the first try. Thank you MDA!
Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous because for the first time in my 31 years I was going to take the lic. I took 2 classes with them and passed the license. highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Both of our kids have been using the driving school. They are very helpful and do their best fit your schedule.
Fantastic experience: The office staff is efficient and friendly. They go the extra mile to schedule lessons and answer questions. The driving instructors were very patient with educating our son and daughter. Rick was always funny and pleasant. Our family would recommend Middlesex Driving Academy to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with Middlesex Driving Academy, and would highly recommend. Moving from out of state with learner's permit in hand, the folks at MDA helped us figure out how to transfer the permit to the State of MA, determine the additional steps needed to meet the MA driver education criteria, provided prompt scheduling to meet the criteria, and had my son ready for the road test right after his 16 1/2 birthday. This was a big deal since he could have had his license at 16 in our former state (missed by 1 month). Taking the road test at the driving academy was wonderful compared to my experience with my other children. MDA went above and beyond to help us navigate this process. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: Mr. Smith and the Entire Staff did a Great Job for our daughter. We could not be anymore thankful….Great School and Great People
Fantastic experience: The kindest group of people who treated my son like their own. Thank you! I highly recommend this academy.
Fantastic experience: I have had two children attend Middlesex and have been extremely happy with both experiences. The office is responsive to emails and phone calls, they keep track of the lessons and when the license exam in to make sure they get all lessons in a timely manner, which was so difficult given my sons sports schedule, but they were always so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend Middlesex Driving Academy.
Fantastic experience: Rick my mannn!1!!
Negative experience: Fees are not reasonable , I was told that they charge (200 + 35 ) for road tests and 85$ for private lesson and they asked me to wait for group lessons for next year . They were so top of the world during the conversation.
Positive experience: I enjoyed the lessons here! Ms. Ryan is fun and makes the lessons super enjoyable and interactive. We didn’t cover as much as I expected to, but I still learnt quite a lot.
Fantastic experience: They teach you very well, Mr. Smith is very good. I really enjoyed learning driving here. They help you with the road test.
Fantastic experience: Staff is knowledgeable and friendly and terrific with my son. Great value
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended driving school! I passed the road test in my first attempt. All the instructors are very helpful and patient and they don’t yell or shout or scare you while driving. You can also take additional private lessons as needed to focus on specific areas that need improvement like parallel parking. Ms. Ryan and Ms. Belliveau were super awesome in helping me boost my confidence before and on the day of the test.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!! Rick Smith (the owner) was very easy to get in touch with for scheduling lessons!! He was also very friendly and thorough during the driving lessons I had with him before I took my road test, which I passed!! I felt extremely confident during the test because of Rick’s instruction. I strongly recommend Middlesex Driving Academy to anyone trying to get a license! You will not regret it!!!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Mr. Smith for several months before taking my road test exam. He is very nice and works hard to get you to pass the test. 10/10
Negative experience: DO NOT ENROLL ON DRIVERS ED HERE!!!! All they want is their money , Worst experience ever!! Stay away from this place.
Fantastic experience: Our experience was fantastic. Although scheduling was difficult due to COVID we got through classes and the road test in a timely manner. My daughter was well prepared and all the instructors were great.
Fantastic experience: I am writing this review with immense pleasure. I am a beginner and was looking for driving schools around and fortunately came across this school and spoke to Mr.Smith. He is my driving instructor. He is a very kind, cool guy and so soft spoken. He will teach you everything you need to be safe and keep others safe once you hit the road. He and the school are so very welcoming and friendly. As I am a working lady and only have weekends, Mr.Smith generously made sure that he squeeze in one hour slot in his busy schedule in the weekends. His parallel parking and three point turn techniques are the best. I highly recommend Mr.Smith and his school.
Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy is a good place to be when you want to get your driver's license. I used to drive before so i didnt have any classes with them. However , I've had a 15 minutes practice with Mr Rick and after a few weeks i get the Road Test. He was very nice and professional. The examiner is a cool guy, you wont be stressed with him. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get their driver's license Quickly. Mr Rick will show you everything you need to know for the road test. Everyone is so nice & willing to help!
Fantastic experience: I called to inquire about classes and was very pleased. Everyone is so nice & willing to help! Update: I just passed my driving test and I am so happy. Thank you to Mr Smith and his amazing team. I appreciate your kindness.
Fantastic experience: I did private driving lessons with Rick Smith. He was very patient, understanding and generous. He also scheduled driving lessons with me which fit my schedule the best. I definitely recommend doing driving lessons with him.
Fantastic experience: Passing my road test was a breeze with help from Rick! He is a great teacher, calm, patient and a clear communicator. His techniques for parallel parking and three point turn were the easiest to master. I've failed on parallel parking twice before I learned from Rick, and this time it was so easy! I highly recommend his school.
Fantastic experience: Both my brother and I learned how to drive at Middlesex Driving Academy! The staff is very nice and welcoming, and the driving instructors are incredibly patient, as well as extremely well versed and able to fix mistakes right away! Plus, the staff is very ready to accommodate with scheduling and make sure you are fully ready for your road test!
Fantastic experience: Rick is super kind and is good with the way he teaches he is as helpful as he can possibly be and does his best to make his classes interesting and fun to the students.
Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy and their staff have been the most accommodating, kind, and understanding people that i’ve had the pleasure to work with. Even amongst the Covid-19 Pandemic, MDA has gone out of their way to facilitate and expedite the process of getting my drivers license. Because I was faced with a conflicting circumstance and an upcoming moving process (to a town significantly far from Middlesex Driving Academy), the owner of the driving school, Mr. Rick Smith, and his team, worked very hard to assist me in getting my license as soon as I could. They happily assisted my family and I without hesitation and we are extremely grateful for their generosity. Communication for establishing driving observation and behind-the-wheel hours were always professionally handled and executed. Overall, I would absolutely recommend enrolling at MDA for you or your child's journey to receiving their drivers license!

Fantastic experience: Middlesex Driving Academy is a good place to be when you want to get your driver's license. I used to drive before so i didnt have any classes with them.However , I've had a 30 minutes practice with Mr Smith and after a few weeks i get the Road Test. He was very nice and professional. The examiner is a cool guy, you wont be stressed with him. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get their driver's license Quickly. Mr Smith will show you everything you need to know for the road test.
