Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Ferreira Driving School. David is a wonderful instructor. He was very professional, very kind, very supportive, and most of all very patient. He made learning how to drive fun, exciting, and less intimidating. David’s instructions were very clear and precise and easy to understand. When I was nervous he made me feel confident. My experience was amazing and I’ll recommend Ferreira Driving School over any other school because they are truly the best if I could give more stars I would because five stars are not enough.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Ferreira Driving School! We had done the classes with AAA, but their schedule was so booked up for road lessons (as were other local schools), so we went with Ferreira. They were flexible and quick to book her classes, and David was always easy to communicate with. She passed her driving test easily. I'm really glad we found this school!

Jim 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ok, folks very rarely will I ever decide to review any business. However Dave and the Ferreira team helped and accommodated my son. He had 6 weeks to get his lessons and License before heading back to school. They made it happen!! Dave understood the time constraints we were up against and just made it work. Excellent school and teachers. 100% I would and will recommend Ferreira's to anyone looking for driving lessons.

IMBoston 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was a late bloomer to Driving . I felt pretty embarrassed about that. 20 years old and no license. David was my instructor throughout the entire process and let me tell you this guy is freaking awesome. Not only was he super easy to get along with, he taught me everything I needed to know. He was the most laid-back guy, and the least judgmental person you’d ever meet. I 100% recommend this driving school to anybody looking to get a license. Young or older. David was super helpful throughout the entire process. And I can’t thank him enough for finally helping me achieve this goal in my life. Even got a little letter congratulating me for getting my license. Keep it up! And thank you immensely!

Fantastic experience: Yo busqué una escuela para mi mamá qué es ya casi de la tercera edad, donde hablarán español, y encontré Ferreira Driving School, son excelentes maestros, dan apoyo en todas las áreas para aprender a manejar, son pacientes y solidarios, excelente empatía, y amables. después de varios intentos tratando en otras escuelas, mi mamá pasó su examen de manejo con Ferreira Driving School en el primero intento practicando con ellos! finalmente encontramos una escuela buena! Muy recomendables!

Fantastic experience: Today, I passed my road test, and I can not recommend this driving school enough! I had been petrified of driving for years, but David helped me build self trust to work through my driving anxiety! He explains everything you are doing while practicing and why you are doing it. He truly cares about ensuring you are confident in yourself, and I am beyond grateful I came to this driving school. I had tried other driving schools in the Southcoast area years ago, and none of them compare. I appreciate how David stays so calm and chill while teaching. He is also incredibly kind and supportive. Thank you David and Ferreira Driving School! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to overcome fears of driving and gain the confidence to drive!

Andela Pejovic 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had 6 lessons, two of which were with Ferreira driving school, with Michelle! I got more confidence and knowledge from those two lessons than others. I passed my road test first try, I had the school as my sponsor. Do not hesitate to contact them, totally worth it!! Michelle was so patient, so kind and knowledgable (many thanks for the parallel parking tip!! :D ). Thank you!

Ferreira Driving School

Thank you for the review Andela! It was very nice to meet you! Good luck with everything!

I couldn’t have done it without the help of Ferreira Driving School. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone looking to pass their road test with flying colors!

Charu Varun 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Coming from a country where we drive on the right, my instincts were a mess, and my anxiety was through the roof. I’d taken a lesson with another school, but it didn’t quite do the trick for my confidence. Then I found David—absolute godsend! He’s got years of experience and a knack for keeping you motivated without even trying. I passed my test in just 3 lessons with him! Their service is impeccable too—the logistics just fade into the background, and all you have to do is keep your eyes on the road (and breathe!). Also, If you're nervous, a lesson right before the test really does wonders! Thank you, David. You’re awesome!

Ferreira Driving School

Thank you Charu! You did great and I wish you all the best. Drive safe!

Fantastic experience: I scheduled the practice course/refresher and the actual drivers exam one after another (consecutively) through the Ferreira Driving School. It really helped, and so did the fact that they provide the vehicle for the road test because I was having quite a bit of trouble securing a vehicle with the emergency brake in the middle. I had Michelle as an instructor she’s very friendly and patient so my anxiety wasn’t out of control. Michelle had me practice parallel parking and everything until I was feeling pretty confident. So after about an hour or so of practicing we went to the RMV took the driver’s test and I passed. It was an overall really good experience.

Fantastic experience: Took adult driving lessons mostly with Gilberto Ferreira! He was very responsive and on time. Scheduling was organized, he even scheduled my road test and let me know if I wanted to reschedule to let him know in time so no charge would be made. Wanted me to be comfortable and ready enough for road test! I passed first try! Recommend!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Ferreira Driving School. They were very easy to communicate with, quick to respond to questions, and very accommodating when scheduling lessons. My son really enjoyed working with all instructors and most importantly, he was very well prepared when he went for his license.

Crystal Felix 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Gilbert is a 10/10. Two lessons with my dad and a sponsored road test & on the first try passed. Nothing but good things to say about him. Very flexible and was able to fit us in when we needed. Other driving schools didn’t even make an effort to respond and Gilbert got back to me within a few hours of my voicemail. A pleasure to work with and money well spent. Again a big thankyou to Gilbert for helping this family out! Edit- a few days have gone by since my dad has passed his drivers test and I receive a letter in the mail, assuming a fee was unpaid I opened it to the sweetest thing I have seen a driving school do! He sent us a thankyou letter with a scent tree, personally I think this is a huge gesture of kindness even if many think it is a minor detail. Thankyou again for being amazing!!!

London Brum 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ferreira Driving School is the best in state! In just a week of learning it has tremendously helped me achieve my goal of gaining my license! The learning itself was fun and engaging! The driving lessons itself made it 10 times easier since they all provided guidances and patience to us all who were a little nervous to get behind the wheel. But, because of the staff at Ferreira’s I can truly say I am now confident to drive!

Fantastic experience: Ferreira is great!! Highly recommend. Patient, kind, accommodating and gives you everything you need to pass the driving test. I had previously failed my driving exam twice during covid in Taunton with a different driving school, and decided on going to Ferreira for the 3rd try, it was the best decision!! I only did lessons, not classes. I’m a very anxious person, I felt very comfortable and prepared with Ferreira.

Negative experience: Working high school student. Paid my balance in full. Ferreira spoke to my parents and told them I had a remaining balance. They paid the amount he said without consulting with me first. Unethical Business Owner. Hope this doesn’t happen to others
