Had an absolutely great experience here. Everything was very organized and easy to schedule. My daughter actually enjoyed the classes and really benefitted from the one on one lessons. I ended up adding extra one on one lessons because my daughter is a nervous driver. It was great how he picks up from your house for lessons and how Brian gives the final road test. He's a great teacher , highly recommended read more

I took a class with Eddy and he is fantastic! He is super zen, explains things with drawings and visuals and it is just a great teacher. I was super nervous and I ended up feeling exciting about my driving. Highly recommended. read more

So easy to work with! Very organized, my student felt confident and prepared. Brian was extremely responsive and was helpful in responding to the needed learning accommodations for my student who has them at school. Overall a wonderful experience for our new driver AND his parents. read more

Excellent service and people skills Brian is wonderful! He walked me and my son through the process of getting a permit (which has changed a lot since I went through) He worked on all the skills with my son and was very accommodating to our schedules My son loved driving with Brian (apparently more than driving with me - lol) I highly recommend Entourage if you need driving time read more

Eddy was great helping our teenager get more comfortable behind the wheel. She needed more hours on the road and we didn't have time to do it so Entourage was perfect! We live in Skokie and on the days of their driving lessons Eddy contacted her to let her know he was caught in traffic which was very helpful. Our daughter learned a lot and has confidence in her driving now. Thank you Eddy! read more

Would highly recommend Entourage - the entire process was seamless, prices are competitive, and I felt supported all the way through. I scheduled my lessons online through the website and I really appreciated the convenience of this feature - I got an immediate confirmation, as well as a reminder prior to my appointment. The pick-up/drop-off at home option also made it extremely convenient as the lessons started right at my doorstep. I took my driving lessons with Eddy (Edward) and he was an amazing instructor - very patient, easy-going, and gave tips that were intuitive and easy to pick up. He also made sure I was comfortable with all the elements (e.g., different turns, parking etc.) that would show up on the test, which went a long way in making me feel prepared. I was a first-time driver and Eddy made the process of learning fun and a breeze! After 6 lessons, I scheduled my driving test with Miranda, who was equally amazing and professional. She reached out ahead of time to ensure I understood the process for the day, and was very prompt the day of the test. She was extremely encouraging and supportive during the pre-test practice drive, and talked through all the steps in the process with me, which helped calm any pre-test nerves. Passed my test thanks to the Entourage team, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a driving school! read more

Useful service, great experience! As a previous driver who needed to pass a driving test to update my license, I couldn't have picked a better fit. They adapted their services to get me comfortable behind the wheel, and met me at the testing site with a car and a smile. Thanks Brian and Miranda for a smooth and low-stress experience! read more

Highly recommend entourage driving school! If you are looking for an instructor that is patient, knowledgeable, and makes you feel relaxed then Eddie is your man. I'm an adult driver who is very anxious and Eddie has been awesome. Honestly don't hesitate and book a lesson with him. Also lessons can be easily booked online and the company as a whole is very professional!! The best. read more

Brian is the absolute best driving instructor in the entire world! My 16 year old found Entourage Driving School by doing a quick google search, and we emailed Brian immediately. He emailed us back with the necessary paperwork, session dates, and price. Everything was done so fast and professionally. We arrived on the first day of class, we paid our fee in full, and received a receipt, and my daughter was off to learning the rules of the road. I was so nervous for her, because I did not know what to expect. Classes were Monday-Thursday 6pm-8pm for an entire month. My daughter would leave class and be bursting with information that she'd learned from Brian. She became critical of my driving, and it was so funny. She attended two sessions, and my daughter was eligible to test for her driver's permit. Everything was happening so quickly, and I had so many questions, because I thought it would be months before she could receive her permit. After two days of having her permit, my daughter went from sitting in the back seat of our car to driving. It's like she graduated from childhood to adulthood in just a few days of attending driving school. She had 4 behind the wheel driving lessons with Brian, and she came back a brand new driver. Her last lesson was highway driving, and this lesson made her a more confident driver. I was screaming with excitement when she came back home and said that she drove on the highway. I did not know highway driving was part of the driving lessons, and I was so happy because I would've been too nervous to do highway driving with my teen. My daughter had zero interest in driving, however, her dad and I kept encouraging her to learn how to drive. She eventually found Entourage Driving School to shut us up, and she didn't expect to enjoy learning how to drive. Honestly, I'm glad that we decided to enroll her into this school rather than driver's education classes at her school. While this was more expensive, it was an invaluable investment. I would encourage all teens to attend Entourage Driving School. Brian, is making our roads safer with teaching teenagers how to properly drive. Entourage Driving School should be acknowledged by the Illinois Secretary of State as the go to school for teen drivers. read more

I took classes with Entourage throughout Oct 2022 and got my license on Nov 2022 in my first attempt. I took a total of 7 classes with my amazing instructor Juan. Juan worked with me to build up my driving skills and my mental game, so that I wouldn't get anxious or nervous when driving. He was really good at teaching, giving feedback, and gradually ramping up the difficulty. Even though I have my license, I am planning to take additional classes with him to practice driving on the highway. Entourage's online booking system is very convenient and lets you select from your instructor's available slots. While weekend slots can get a bit competitive, I was able to get slots convenient to me without any trouble. If you're like me and know you need to get your driver's license but have been putting it off because driving makes you nervous / anxious, I think you should give Entourage a shot. EDIT: if you're in downtown chicago like me, the Jefferson Park T-stop is very easy to get to via blue line or the UP-NW train. That area has a lot of streets with light traffic which makes it great for practice. read more

Such a great experience for my son! Brian was fantastic, and we're grateful we found him!

Brian and his team are the absolute best! I set a goal for 2021 that I would finally get my license after years of putting it off. I called Entourage after two companies in my neighborhood ghosted me and never showed up for my lessons. I was extremely anxious to drive and didn't even want to get in the drivers seat. Brian was fantastic. Always on time, and always encouraging, literally everything the other reviews say. He always let me know when I was doing well but also made sure to let me know where I could improve and he never ever ever yells. Finally came time for my drivers test and Miranda was the best. Super patient and encouraging and I passed my test on my first try, just in time for the new year. Thanks so much Entourage !! read more

Entourage is the best! I'm so thankful to have found them. Although I've had my license for over 20 years, I've been too scared to use it. I never thought I'd get over my fear of driving, but Entourage is making all the difference. I've taken lessons with Brian and Eddy, and they're both great. They're patient, kind, and supportive, and they give clear feedback and explanations that have helped me feel more comfortable behind the wheel. At the end of each lesson, I feel more and more like driving is possible for me after all. I highly encourage anyone who's thinking about driving to go ahead and book a lesson! read more

Brian was so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. He not only taught our daughter the rules of the road, but also instilled confidence in her. I plan on enrolling my other children in this course. read more

I took the road test last Friday and passed on the first try! Adult learner here, didn't get my license when I was younger because I was extremely afraid of getting behind the wheel. I took driving lessons with Brian, who is an excellent instructor. He helped me get over my fear and supported me throughout the entire learning process. I was terrified the first time I got behind the wheel, and you know what Brian said? "You can do this; I got you." I cannot thank Brian enough for helping me get over my fear and build my confidence! I am now driving confidently with my two kids in the car. Brian and his fellow instructors at Entourage actually teach you how to be a competent and safe driver. They patiently explain the rules of the road and spend a lot of time making sure you know how to drive confidently and safely in any situation. They don't just take you on the road test route to just make sure you pass the road test. They equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to be able to drive safely any time, any where. Also, to echo another reviewer here, the online booking system is so easy, and the pick up and drop off service is super convenient. 5+ stars, highly recommend. Thank you, Brian and team! read more

Words cannot describe how awesome Brian is. I sent a senior relative there as she was at a certain age where she had to retake the driving test and had already failed her first two driving exams at the DMV. Here is where Brian came to the rescue. He spent a good amount of time with her behind the wheel and she passed the exam easily when she took it a third time. He was calm, patient, thorough and found a way to give an anxious driver the confidence necessary to succeed. Thank you, Brian!!! read more

I made a good choice. Brian, Eddie and Miranda helped me to have confidence behind the wheel. I got my driver's license on my first attempt. I liked the schedule flexibility and affordable prices. read more

Entourage Driving School - I parked it! - Driving Schools Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was amazing experience with Entourage school! I started to take my classes with 0 experience and it took 7 classes for me to become a confident driver. Everything is possible with a good teacher! Brien is very competent, he was nice and patient and easy to work with. He taught everything I need to know for the short period of time and I passed my road test on my first try! Also online booking system is so comfortable and pick up and drop off service was really helpful! I recommend this school 100% :) read more

I received my license last week, all thanks to Entourage driving school. I took my classes from Brian, who is a phenomenal instructor. I had almost ZERO driving experience when I reached out to him. He encouraged me and at the same time corrected me if I was wrong. The school is very professional, committed, and invested in your learning experience. When Brian had to cancel once, he arranged for the substitute. He called, texted, and emailed me to let me know about the substitute. I took around 10-12 classes with Brian and the road test through the school. Entire experience from beginning to end has been FANTASTIC. I don't have enough words to show my gratitude. Today, I am driving on my own, running my errands, and picking up my kids from school. So grateful that I found this school and Brian! I had one class with Eddie (when Brian was unwell), and he was great too! Miranda helped me with the road test, and she was awesome. read more

Brian is really good !I just passed today!Got my first driver license!Thanks Entourage school!

I had an amazing experience with Brian - he is detailed, gives specific corrective instruction, and helped me become secure with my driving. Just passed my test today!! He gets results! Would recommend 100%!! Miranda is very personable and warm as well - great at making newbie drivers feel comfortable, she is so sweet! This driving school will change your life, and get you closer to your goals - just do it, don't hesitate, this is the driving school for you. My mom now wants to take lessons here! read more

My daughter at the age of 17 is quite nervous and has anxiety About driving. But she needs to be ready by next fall for college! We signed her up for five lessons with Entourage Driving School and Oscar showed up 10 minutes early to every appointment to pick her up and take her out driving. After each lesson he took the time to talk with me and let me know her progress. My daughter said he is not only patient and kind but a wonderful driving teacher. I researched many driving schools & hands down this is the best you'll find. Don't hesitate to sign up whether you're an adult, or have a teen in need of lessons They are patient kind and reasonably priced read more

Both Brian and Miranda are wonderful teachers and very personable. I very much appreciate their expertise and excellence. Great team!

Well - I sent my son (15) here to complete his behind the wheel for extra practice. My son told me he had a horrible experience. The instructor was condescending and she smelt like CIGARETTE SMOKE. The school wasn't to eager to help remedy this anyways. Well - It's my fault. You live you learn. . I should have done my research before basing them on reviews alone. I should've known better that a school that's only been around for a couple years has so many good reviews compared to businesses that has been around for decades with ZERO reviews. Maybe forces their customers to make reviews OR fake reviews. WHO KNOWS? Somethings up! read more

I had very little driving experience and was very nervous to get behind the wheel so I decided to contact Entourage Driving School to help me get my driver license best decision I ever made they where very patient and made me feel relaxed and conferable behind the wheel the pick up and drop off was just perfect for me. I highly recommend this driving school! read more

Brian is the most patient driving instructor. calm, has an excellent handle on every situation and is wonderful at explaining. He made a scary experience for me turn into an opportunity to learn in an environment that didn't make me feel anxious. super encouraging. I wish all teachers could be like him. read more

My teen daughter just finished the class here and we could not be more happy. Brian is the best! Great driving school. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars for this company.I went from being a terrified learner in my early 40's to passing my road test 6 weeks later.Brian was the nicest,kindest most dedicated teacher anyone could ask for.His skill for teaching is truly a gift and I cannot recommend him highly enough .The level of confidence I have gained from having him as my instructor is invaluable .Very reasonable rates and convenient times for classes.If you really want to learn to drive Brian is your guy,no doubt about it!! read more

Brian not only helped me pass the road test on my first try but has really prepared me to drive safely just about anywhere. Totally worth taking several classes before the exam. I was so nervous at the beginning but thanks to Brian and Entourage Driving School, I can now drive with confidence! Brian was supportive, encouraging, and patient the entire time. He also challenged me so that I would feel more comfortable behind the wheel. So happy I finally have my license and I'm ready to tackle the road on my own! Sign up now, you won't regret :) read more

I was terrified of driving! I am 32 and never drove in my life before but my wife got fed up and signed me up for the driving class with Brian. I took about 10 classes with Brian total (and 1 with Oscar) and had amazing experience on all the classes with either Brian or Oscar. Within a couple of classes I was already feeling comfortable driving in Chicago (Lincoln Park area) and on the 5th class we went on the high-way and I felt comfortable there. Definitely recommend learning to drive with Entourage even if you never sat in front of the wheel before. I also signed up to take the driving test with them (Miranda was super helpful!) and record doing that if you want to reduce stress (my wife could've driven me too but she did not feel like spending 3 hours at the DMV on a Wednesday). Brian is awesome -- I forgot my sunglasses and driving permit! in his car and he was kind enough to drop them off when he was in the area. If you actually want to learn to drive in Chicago (instead of just passing the test and feeling terrified on the road) definitely take classes with Brian and Co. read more

I used their road test service with 2-hours training today and everything was super smooth! Brian showed up at my home at 6 am as he promised he would. He has gone through my documents and checked if everything was in place so we don't have issues in DMV. He explained me how the test would take place, showed me the important things that the examiner will ask me to do. We drove around DMV for around an hour and half for training purposes and he made sure I was doing everything right. My test went very smoothly and the examiner asked me everything Brian told me about beforehand. I passed on my first try without any hiccups. read more

I did Drivers ed when I was a teenager and I did not want to drive after. I was nervous and relied on public transportation or rides from family and friends. Seven years later, I realized I needed to drive on my own and needed a car. I searched up a few driving schools in my area that offered a one-on-one session. I found Entourage and found many positive reviews. I took 4 sessions with Eddy and Oscar. They helped me feel better about driving and gave me many tips that my previous driving school did not. I can proudly give Entourage a five-star review and look forward to seeing my brother attend drivers ed there. And because of Entourage, I passed my driving test and now have my driver's license. Thanks again! read more

The best driving school in Chicago. Having no driving experience when I started, I was able to pass the road test on the first try after 8 lessons or so. I took lessons with Edward who is a great teacher, he is very kind and always gives helpful feedback. I would definitely recommend booking lessons with him or any of the other instructors who are also excellent - I took my road test with Miranda and she went above and beyond. Definitely worth the money. read more

We read lots of reviews before sending our 15-year-old to take her drivers ed class to Entourage. What impressed us about the reviews here was that they were all positive. We were beyond happy with the entire experience: from the personal service we received at signing up our daughter, when we received the main teacher's personal contact number in the event we would have any questions, to the punctual nature of every interaction, to the kind training and patient driving experiences my daughter had. The teacher even pulled in to the drive through one time when my daughter mentioned she was hungry during a driving day and got her nuggets at McDonald's. We were so impressed. It has been a few months now and my daughter has been making great progress adding up all her driving hours to when she can take her road test. Entourage and Brian are the best school you could choose. I give them the highest rating for professionalism, kindness, punctual class times, structured curriculum, patience, thorough service, experience, and great skill in teaching. They are also extremely helpful and always go above and beyond in letting you know where to go for anything else (when we took the initial driving permit, Brian even told us what hours and times to go when the DMV would be less crowded). I cannot imagine having had a better experience for my daughter to learn how to drive. 100% thumbs up!!! read more

Brian was great! He accommodated my rather random request to provide some specific instructions on parking in a recently rented garage spot. Would absolutely recommend. read more

I took a 7 hours driving class with Jessica and past my road test on my first attempt. It's a good experience working with her, and I defintly learned how to become a good driver. read more

I was really happy with my experience with Entourage. I moved to the U.S. from Australia three years ago and needed some practice driving locally in order to take the road test for my Illinois license. My instructor, Brian, was very knowledgeable. It was evident that he had been teaching for a very long time and that gave me confidence in his feedback and recommendations. He was able to show me the driving facility and test route in advance, and explain in detail what I would be tested on-- but also spent time on other skills that I would need to drive safely in Chicago. Brian was friendly but also gave direct and honest feedback. Booking lessons was easy (I loved the Saturday availability) and I never felt like I was being sold more lessons than I actually needed. I passed the test with no problem. I'd recommend Brian to any adult learner. read more

Excellent! experience! Brian is very professional and is on top of the knowledge it takes to to teach someone to become a safe and effective driver!!! His ability To assess and determine an appropriate driving curriculum to meet the objective of a safe and effective driver is simply phenomenal!! My only regret is that I did not find him earlier. read more

Brian is a phenomenal instructor who is the epitome of a teacher: patient, detail oriented, encouraging, kind, and pushes his students to take themselves to the next level. I was very nervous when I first got behind the wheel with Brian, but his calm demeanor quickly put my nerves to rest so I could focus at the task at hand. He is an excellent communicator, and takes your viewpoints into consideration when giving feedback. His customer service is top notch, as he was on time for each and every lesson. You can tell he has been teaching for quite a while too, which definitely shows while he teaches with diagrams. I passed my road test on the first attempt; Brian took me through the route as well as his own personal road test in preparation for the real thing. I highly, highly recommend Entourage Driving School to everybody who is a first time driving learner as well as others willing to brush up on their skills. read more

I took a whole package of driving class with Brian and got my license in my first try. Brian knows how to comfort his student even if you're easy to tighten up behind the wheel. He's also very help. You can see your progress after every class! read more
