Positive experience: Great driving classes for over zoom.

Fantastic experience: Ben and Judy taught my classes, and both of them were engaging and kind. Ben is humorous and Judy put effort into getting to know her students, both of them are very knowledgable. I've only driven with Nicholas before, but he was super welcoming and good at explaining. I trusted him and felt really comfortable while driving. Thank you, Mullens!

Eliza Lowell 3 years ago

Positive experience: Trying to sign up for this school was like pulling teeth, to be quite frank. The office rarely picked up the telephone and things because confusing easily, but I hear that's supposed to be fixed soon. The actual class, on the other hand? It went really well! I don't feel ill-equipped. Even though it's big bouts of information at one time, I think the instructor Phil did a wonderful job of trying to keep us entertained. I've learned a lot!

We have recently had some needed turnover in the office. We now have better trained people that care. Melissa or Paige will be glad to help.

Claire Filiatrault 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This school is very efficient in teaching us how to drive. The instructor Phil was good at his job and made the classes as interesting as possible. Summer is a busy time for drivers ed and students have been well informed of this, but Phil has been working to make sure kids are getting on the road.

Leona Oak 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The classes went by pretty quick. It was very fast and effective and I did the zoom option, the three hours of each session went by very fast and weren't too bad. Phil made sure that each class was fun and put us in break out rooms often and talked about driving in the news. Everyone was nice in the classes too.

Sherry Lehouillier 7 years ago

Negative experience: Paid $20 for a book that was never used. Had to schedule driving time with each instructor by texting or calling them individually. Some never respond. This one only drives on Saturday’s, this one only drives an hour at a time, this one will only drives with two people in the car and so on. The state requires it but what a waste of time and money. Nothing I couldn’t have done myself.

Melissa McAllister 7 years ago

Negative experience: I should have listened to others and gone to South Portland for Drivers Ed. I signed up here solely for the convenience of being in Scarborough. Trust me when I say you want to be inconvenienced and GO ELSEWHERE

Negative experience: You can get your hours done but you have to get them done and ready during a class not after won’t get them done and also very late on getting temp permits to people and hours of driving in

Summer is our busy season. Every student is informed of this in writing and is required to sign and return a contract that outlines this very issue. We have limited class sizes to control this concern. The best way to remove this concern is to train more employees. We are always hiring ☺
