World Class Driver's Ed…read more Licensing a new driver, with all the requirements, including driver's ed, can be a maelstrom of confusion. I had already traveled the gauntlet to get my son's permit (although The Next Street can facilitate this as well), and entered the arena to understand and enroll him in the required driver's ed. I came across The Next Street, a company that is absolutely best in class. I called and was quickly connected to a terrifically informative, organized, caring and delightful representative, who explained the system with an ease that made a potentially complicated project very simple. an excellent start that took away the anxiety I was feeling about getting this right. the program includes both education and the actual driver training all at a very fair price. immediately after signing up, I received numerous emails with tons of beautifully organized details, that made it perfectly clear what all the forthcoming steps would be. this was followed with the good fortune of being enrolled in a class with an extraordinary talent; a teacher who has kept my son engaged with tremendous knowledge, excellent ability to communicate, a great ability to manage mostly teenagers in the zoom class, a sense of humor and a way of entertaining while educating and keeping all enthusiastic. this is truly best in class.

Cons: I found him to be condescending, and he did not provide much structure to the lessons. He would constantly take phone calls in the car. I did not feel safe going with him. I then tried a lesson with NextStreet and found them to be encouraging. NextStreet provided me with various online tutorials/pamphlets for skills to practice on my own time, and the pricing was comparable to Buffington. Although it was more difficult to get into NextStreet, I do not see a reason why you would use Buffington over NextStreet.

We were home the entire day, but the instructor never called, no voice mail messages, didn't ring the doorbell. When we called to report this and reschedule we were told that the instructor had TEXTED our land line number and sat in their car on our property but out of sight from the house. They then tried to blame us for the error. A simple apology would have allowed us to reschedule and move forward, but none was given. They fail to return calls when promised and are a hassle to work with.​

They were a godsend to me. I'm a much older driver (never needed or cared to drive before moving to…read morethe suburbs). Driving seemed so daunting and their team was able to deconstruct it for me and break it up into manageable steps. That's how I learn best. Ivey from their office was so helpful, she called and responded promptly and empathetically to all my questions and gripes and was a good listener. Scheduling was smooth and I passed the test in my first attempt. I took classes at their competitor in Westport two years ago and it was a completely different experience. Less polite, woeful customer service, a very grouchy instructor which was very demotivating. So yes, this was well worth it. Thank you for everything!

So be prepared to pay Fresh Green Light for a re-test ($199) or go to the DMV. Fresh Green Light charges $159 for the re-take -- a 10 minute test that a DMV agent gives. Re-testing creates a nice revenue stream for them.

DO NOT USE THIS DRIVING SCHOOL…read more This place does not deserve a single star. Before Covid it was IMPOSSIBLE to get someone to respond to emails and voicemails in less than two to three weeks, and now Charlotte just denies that five voicemails and three emails were sent/left for her. This place is absolutely frustrating and should not be in business. They are very attentive when taking your money, but after they have that, don't count on any guidance or reasonable assistance.

I agree with others to avoid this school. The prices listed…read moreonline are Not Accurate. I and you as well, will pay several hundred dollars more. I paid $850 for my son to take the full course (this was due to several hidden charges). The driving test is NOT completed at their school- and is NOT performed by any of their instructors as they claim. In fact, after further research, I discovered that ONLY the CT DMV and a DMV AGENT/ INSPECTOR can perform a driving test. Look it up, contact the DMV. It's a Fact. Knowledge is Power.

During the test the inspector suggested that my son to leave the marked lane of traffic, which he did. They continued on with the test and when it was over, informed him that he failed. He was the told he would need to take the entire course over again, after paying another$300. It's a scam. Beware!
