I had a great experience with Christo Driving School on road lessons! Especially with instructor Matt Leblanc. He is very understanding and personable which allowed me to be calm and confident during my lessons! I would definitely recommended. read more

Waited around for 45 min for our second lesson, who never showed up, or never called. Third instructor called in sick to my kid a few hours before the appointment. read more

There were 1-2 Christo instructors who I found quite charismatic and good at teaching...unfortunately that's as far as my praise goes. I did not feel that my learning was valued by most of the instructors as I was not prepared for the road test by the end of the course and had to figure out parallel parking on my own. My greatest issue, however, relates to one of the instructors who, in the one and only lesson I had with him, made extremely sexualized jokes and waved around antisemitic rhetoric. He told me he believed that "less Jews died in the Holocaust than people say did" and I was absolutely appalled to say the least. Never in my life have I felt more uncomfortable. Please take care of your teenagers and enroll them somewhere else. read more

What is going on with these negative reviews? Are we talking about the same school? My son just finished the complete drivers ed program at the school. We had a unbelievable experience. The full week of in-class instruction was useful and a good way to get in all the required hours in just five days. The classes were always easy to schedule and reschedule, if need be. So flexible with pickups and dropoffs. My son was picked up at home and at school, he was always dropped off at home so I never had to worry. The teachers always called if they were running just a bit late. I really liked that he had different teachers, as no one person teaches exactly the same way, but the yellow card was a perfect communication between the teachers, student and us, parents. My wife and I have been driving for many years, but heard our son say on multiple occasions: I am not listening to you, if I did that on the driving test, I would fail :) The teachers also take out students when the road conditions are less than perfect, and use it as teachable moments. The office was also very straight forward and accomodating, always ready to answer any of our questions. I was dreading going to the parent class, but it was very well run, was super informative and we had a lot of laughs. Not sure what hidden fees reviewers are talking about, everything was disclosed. Paying for a road test with Christo Driving school was a choice, we knew that our son would feel better using the car he used for classes, and we thought that having an instuctor in the back would make him feel less nervous. This was not a requirement by any means. On the day of the exam, my wife came in with my son a little early and were greeted by the owner, who spent more time with them, making sure that my son would feel confident. He walked him out to the door and wished him luck, what a nice personal touch. Yes, my son passed the test, but I would write the same review if he did not. Thank you Christo Driving School for the wonderful experience, will see you soon with my other two children. read more

The driving instructors are very unprofessional. They take the kids to coffee shops, and drive troughs, even errands to private homes of questionable merit. When organizational issues arise there is no flexibility what-so-ever, and as many other parents pointed out the pricing is not clear and not organized. Lastly, the documentation is not even close to what you'd expect in 2016, most if it looks like photocopies from many years ago. Take your kid somewhere else. read more

Yelled at my son during driving lesson. Not worth the cost. They act as if they are the only game in town. Instructor yelled at my son during the lessons. We will not be back. They are not the only option. read more

The guy is kind of an asshole. He's calm enough when he corrects you but he doesn't ever mention anything you've done right until he's comparing it to what you've done wrong. I've had much more helpful driving instruction elsewhere. read more

Very good drivers' ed and driving school. Its very popular with the locals as the classes can get full pretty fast. Not cheap but they get the job done right. read more

Unprofessional and unskilled at teaching students how to drive. The instructor stopped numerous times to get out and smoke making my child ill from the lingering stench. Not worth the price and there isn't a clear way or dispensation given if students or parents express concerns. Much cheaper and more productive and professional to do the test at the MA RMV. I gave one star because they were always prompt with the pick up time. read more

I haven't gone to this school nor know anyone that has, I just came here to say while sitting at a red light on a major road late at night a Christo student driver car pulled up next to me, now this was far too late at night for the driver to be a student so I can only assume it was an instructor or owner. The person stopped at the light and then seconds later took off turning through the intersection with complete disregard for the cars that were approaching the intersection from the opposite direction. This wasn't a right on red situation, this was a left during a red arrow across multiple lanes of oncoming traffic. I would never trust someone who does this, let alone does this in a company car, teach me child how to drive. read more

My daughters first day out on the road, the instructor got on the phone while she was driving. She is terrified I am going to complain.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. This is the worst service and business out there. This is a scam, and your child will not learn how to drive. Those hours on the road? USELESS. The Hamilton out of your pocket? STOLEN. The instructors do not know what they are doing, most of the lesson is spent picking up and dropping off other kids. It's basically an uber service. The examiners from Worcester are out to fail perfectly competent drivers, and they are rude. This family business does not respond to emails and they constantly move lessons around. Our experience with Christos has been terrible and if there was a negative-star this place would deserve it. Please be reminded of this when considering sending your child to Christo Driving School. read more

Expensive probably spent over a grand on this place, has some good instructors but way over the top expectations

These people need some serious work on customer service. There were a couple of very legitimate concerns I had about some of my son's experiences. I called to let them know, they were rude and accused us of distorting the truth. Throughout the lessons process we had other issues with their customer service. Some of there instructors are great, but some unprofessional. The school seems to find ways to "squeeze" more money out of the parents. For the road test, instead of spending even more money unnecessarily, I suggest just going through the RMV directly. At the end of the day you want your child to learn how to drive safely and learn the rules of the road - Christo's can be good with that. I just wish that considering how much they charge, that they would work on their customer service, and not make that part of the process so unpleasant. read more

Instructors were great to average but the office dropped the ball by never offering one clear price sheet for the customer. Most documents given to the customer are confusing and unclear. It seemed as if there was always an additional fee that was not disclosed from the start. Also, zero accommodations are made for people who cannot take the Christo sponsored driving test on Saturday due to religious convictions. read more

Expensive, difficult to schedule and change lessons, pass/fail rate 66% Customer service is atrocious.

The worst customer service I have ever encountered. The ladies from the main office are rude and consistently unhelpful. 100 times more expensive than comm ed and 1000 times worse. The classes and drivings were just as average, but scheduling was the most pain-staking process I have ever gone through. They do not have enough staff to accommodate their large mass of customers which is funny because they definitely charge enough to add on some more driving instructors. Like hell I'm paying them an extra $125 to administer an exam that the majority of their students fail. Overall, an annoying experience. read more

Some of their driving instructors (2011-12 time frame) could be better at working with a variety of 16-year olds. Also, the Cristos office people are pleasant and sound efficient but the information they gave on the phone was not always complete. I asked them at least once on the phone how long we had to complete the driving lessons and they never mentioned there is a 2-year limit, until it had already expired. read more

Can't speak to the in-class driver's ed. program but the driving lessons were solid. Driving instructors are solid, know their stuff and how to handle nervous beginners. Helpful mnemonics to remember maneuvers, and are thorough in their teaching. They gave me a little chart with the maneuvers that would be tested on the road test and gave ratings (I- introduced, n- needs improvement, s- satisfactory) to show what was covered and what I needed to work on. Not the cheapest option, but you get what you pay for, and I'd say the extra money is worth it. Plus, they use really nice cars, easy to handle, with no ugly hardware on the roof to scream to the word that you're a student driver (though their business name and number is painted on the sides). read more

very NASTY and UNPROFESSIONAL. There are other driving school around which are much better. We had a bad experience with Christo and tried Chelmsford Auto school, very satisfied and honest people read more

Check out the Mass RMV pass rate. Christo's pass rate is in the 60% range while the other local driving school has a better than 90% pass rate. If you look at the past few years, the pass rate for Christo's has been getting worse while the other local driving schools pass rate has gotten better. I wish I had looked it up before signing up. read more

Christo Driving School has decent driving instructors for on roads but poor office personnel. I recently called to scheduled my road test and the woman who answered the phone obviously does not like her job. She kept telling me to bring my permit and authorization number to the testing place. I told her that I did not have my authorization number and she just kept telling me that I should have wrote it down. She did nothing to help out my situation and if I could go back one year I would definitely not take the road test through Christos just to avoid this trouble. read more
