I've had several people try to teach me how to drive--friends and family--but Northwestern Driving…read moreschool was where I learned confidence and how to be comfortable when I drive. And now I've just gotten my driver's license thanks to them! Woohoo! The instructor, Julio Naveda, was excellent. He broke down the methodology of everything I needed to know and explained it in a way that was easy to understand. Best driving instructor I've ever had! If you are taking lessons from here, definitely request him!

There have already been multiple reviews reflecting how horrible an experience could be with this…read moredriving school. I was charged $595 for an adult driving course on July 29. After I completed the written test in early August I asked them to schedule classes for me. They failed to do so after I called them multiple times in the next couple of weeks to follow up. I found another driving school which managed to schedule a class for the next day, so I quit and asked for a refund. Five weeks later I still haven't received a penny back despite their promise to either reverse the charge or zelle me the money. I don't know how a business like this could survive in today's world. I have filed a complaint with Chicago 311. For those who are looking for driving classes, there are plenty of other options. Just avoid this one.

This is the teaching college from which I purchased my degree. It has the tastes of haute higher…read moreeducation and the subtle aftertaste of greed and stupidity. The programs outside of teaching are treated as step children. The school's marketing and name suck. What the purpose of going to secondary education? To improve the prospect of bettering one's self. The Career Services Department should be important and excellent. It is not - I would chose more bang for my tuition dollar.

Don't do it! Go to KMart and spend your money. At least you'll leave with something useful. What a…read moreterrible institution...and it's really sad they call it "higher learning". Almost 95% of the classes are online. They switched from Blackboard to D2L and most of the instructors still don't know how to use the LMS system. It's been about 2 years since the switch and they haven't even figured it out. Nobody is here to assist you if you have any issues. It's going to be the next Westwood College. Do yourself a favor and don't do it. You can drive by any Monday or Tuesday and see 10 cars in the parking lot, most of that is the staff. There are almost no instructor led classes anymore. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Look up complaints with IBHE since this school has violated many things. Also, my biggest pet peeve is that classes aren't required to have a complete syllabus! Yes, that is correct. A graduate level program isn't required to have syllabus for their courses. Dr. Stuart is the one who told me this on the phone but didn't want to put it in writing. Also, Craig Cunningham has to be the most disillusion instructor at any college. Whatever you do, don't take him. Absolutely most disorganized cluster-f of an instructor out there. In the end, do whatever you can and run far far away. Stand outside and ask students how they truly feel.

Howard Driving School is not only affordable, but it also does a better job of preparing drivers…read morefor the road than the vast majority of high-end driver's ed classes. Mr. Howard is a fantastic teacher not only in the classroom, but on the road as well. During the behind the wheel sessions he is firm but fair. He takes learning to drive very seriously, but would never yell at a student or speak to them in a manner that might frighten them while they are driving. If you are looking for a driver's ed class that goes above and beyond without breaking the bank, Howard Driving School is the place to be. Mr. Howard is a good Christian man that displays kindness and patience while teaching his students how to practice and create safe driving habits.

Update: After sharing my honest experience, I received a threatening email from the owner demanding…read morethat I remove my review and photos, and threatening legal action. For the record, my photos were taken from the public sidewalk during posted business hours when the office was closed, not from inside. Everything I shared in my review was true and based on my direct experience as a paying customer. I will not be intimidated into silence. I am not asking for a handout -- only for fairness: either provide the six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction my child needs, or refund the money so she can complete her training elsewhere. The fact that the owner is threatening customers instead of resolving concerns only reinforces the pattern already visible in the many other one-star reviews.
