We used KBees Driving School not too long ago for my daughter. I made this account to specifically write this review. I looked up many driving schools all around Mercer and Hunterdon counties to make sure I found a good and trustworthy driving school to take my child around for her 6 hours. I read mostly negative reviews online for KBees Driving School, but I decided to give them a chance due to Karens many years of experience. My daughters experience was absolutely awful with Karen. She is very rude and unprofessional, I even saw that when she spoke to me. According to my daughter, her car was extremely filthy and smelled like cigarettes. I even smelt the cigarette smell on her when she came into my house. I even smelt the cigarette smell on my daughters clothes when she'd come home from doing a lesson with Karen. My daughter would feel sick after coming home from doing her lesson because of the smell in Karen's car. My daughter said she played music the entire time they were driving, which I believe is unprofessional. Turn the music off, and focus on teaching this child, who has never been behind the wheel of a car, how to get comfortable using the gas, breaks, steering, etc. Don't blast music, don't play with your phone or iPad, and lastly, don't yell at my child. My daughter felt like she talked to her like she was stupid and annoying. She yelled at my child if my child made a mistake while driving, for example, driving too slow or driving too fast or not slowing down enough when making a turn. Say things nicely. I even felt like Karen talked down to me like I was an annoyance. I met you once, for all of 10 minutes, and you're talking down and yelling at my daughter? That's what really aggravates me. I get it 100% that a teenager driving for the first time is not gonna be good at those things, but have patience, if you don't, you're in the wrong field. The only reason I did not pull my child out of KBees Driving School after their first lesson is because we paid and I wanted my daughter to do the remaining hours and get it over with so she could get her permit and we didn't have to go through the drama of switching to another driving school. I will let everyone we know in the area who have teenage kids who are looking for a driving school to stay far away from this driving school and to not be fooled by her cheap prices and years of experience. She needs to work on her attitude and being more professional, if I can complain to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission about Karen I will. My daughter was upset to the point of crying when she got home from her first lesson with Karen and I'm absolutely disgusted and regret using KBees Driving School. Also, Karen took my child to run her personal errands and stop for food for herself. I read another review where someone said she does this. SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Don't use up the time I'm paying you to teach my daughter to go run your personal errands or stop and get yourself food if you forgot to eat breakfast. My child is your student not your personal driver. I talked to other parents about this who have used other driving schools and they were shocked and thought I was joking. Those 2 hours should be used to teach the child not used to do your personal errands. Schedule your personal errands around your job like everyone else does. No child needs to be sitting in the car or in the waiting room waiting for you for half an hour using up the time their parents paid you for to teach them to drive. I also feel like my daughter was not taught everything she should've been taught in those 6 hours we paid Karen for. Most likely due to the fact that they would make stops for Karen and time was used up. I highly suggest you do not use KBees Driving School.. read more

Great school for my daughter. I was referred to KBees Dirving School by a friend who had used them for their daughter's driving lessons. Signing up was easy and the lady on the phone was very helpful and answered all my questions. Yesterday my daughter had her first "behind the wheel" lesson. Her instructor Karen arrived on time and greeted us with a smile and lovely energy. When my daughter got back she told me that Karen the instructor gave her lots of great tips and since it was her first time behind the wheel she was very patient and made my daughter feel at ease. For all the lessons, it was a great experience for my daughter. Karen was kindhearted, intelligent, and the best of what this driving school has to offer. She also was really flexible on changing the driving lessons to a day where my daughter was not as busy which is a really important quality in an instructor. She helped my daughter with critical advice for drivers without much behind the wheel experience. Karen's personality is uplifting and made my daughter look forward to her lessons. I will definitely recommend KBees Driving School to friends and other people in need of lessons! read more

I hired KBee's for my daughter and I am very pleased with her driving skills. First, it was important to my daughter that the instructor be female, so she could feel more at ease. I researched driving schools before hiring KBee's and there are very few female driving instructors. The instructor/owner is very friendly, easy-going and she put my daughter completely at ease. Her business is local and not part of a chain. Yes, during driving lessons they made stops such as Starbucks or Wawa but I was okay with that because I thought it was good for my daughter to learn how to negotiate these everyday locations, instead of just empty parking lots. Karen had her drive on all kinds of roads in all different geographical situations (country, city, suburbs, highway, local) and learned every skill necessary to pass the driving test, plus some practical driving tips. Karen does not smoke in the car; my daughter had no complaints about odor and I would speak with Karen at her car before and after each lesson and I neither saw nor smelled anything that I would find offensive. I would totally recommend KBee's for anyone needing a driving school. read more

KBees Driving School is one of the best experiences for people with no driving experience and/or experienced drivers. They are professional, flexible, and patient. Those are key traits when looking for a driving school to attend. The cost efficient out of all of the driving schools I compared, the Teen package deals was the best. When I first started I had no prior driving experience. They were very knowledgeable with all the technical tips. I easily was able to adapt to the teaching methods as changed to suit me as the driver. When I made any type of mistakes she kindly corrected me and made sure I had everything right. They worked around my schedule to make sure I had all the lessons I needed. It made driving very easy for me where as I was nervous and she gave me the confidence I needed to take and pass my road test within 6 months of receiving my learners permit. I would definitely recommend KBees Driving School to others within the area. read more

I highly recommend this driving school. She was was patient, always was available for her students. Very knowledgeable and professional school. Made me definitely comfortable being behind the wheels first time and knowing I'm at the good hands with this school. I wouldn't be the great driver with having the skills learned with this school. I never had any accidents after I passed the lesson with KBEES School. Some of the comment I definitely see is very surprising and definitely not true, the bad comments/reviews are people/parents that were scared to speak up their problems or concerns, which is very unprofessional. If you are looking for a great driving school. Give them a phone call and you will me amazed the results your child will get after lessons. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Karen's teaching philosophy is unique. She explains upfront how she will replicate driving scenarios that your teen will experience. For instance, she has them drive with the radio on, experience a person talking to them, pulling into a pizza joint, stopping at a grocery store, etc. She makes it fun for kids and lessens their stress. Additionally, Karen gives excellent driving tips and advice. My son was particularly impressed with her knowledge and help at the DMV as a clerk had messed up the needed information for his permit. He said without her there, it would've still been messed up and he might not have realized it. It's obvious that she loves her job and loves kids. I'm impressed with how quick she taught my son to drive. read more

I took my teenage daughter to Kbees to get her learners permit, and some more lessons while she has the learning permit. Excellent service, the instructor Karen is very attentive, always instructing on how to proceed and correcting any mistakes explaining why. I recommend this driving school if you want to be certain that your kid will learn. My daughter enjoyed chatting with Karen while she was driving :) Kbees is very professional and know what they are doing. They'll teach you everything you need to know and will make sure you do the best you can. They also have a wonderful Teen - Parent workshop, and a Distracted Driving workshop, which we went to both last weekend. read more

As a female, I am very glad that I found Karen the instructor at KBees Driving School. I am very thankful to Karen for all her patience, as I tend to be nervous but she helped me to increase my driving confidence. I enjoyed chatting with Daniela while we were driving :) Karen was very educated and helped me a lot. I was able to get my drivers license thanks to her. KBees is very professional and know what they are doing. They'll teach you everything you need to know and will make sure you do the best you can. They are super supportive and I'm glad I chose KBees Driving School! read more

Excellent teacher couldn't ask for anything better. I really appreciate the time Karen takes to go over everything with you and she has patience and is a very nice person. I give a 10 out of 5 star because she is just awesome. Teaches you everything from starting the car, how to turn on your blinkers, high beams, MPH, stop signs, street lights, K turn, and parallel parking with much more. Absolutely recommend her for a new driver or even if you have drove before. She fits your time into her schedule. Just want to say thank you again to her. read more

I needed a female instructor, and Karen who works at KBees Driving School made me feel safe and relaxed and I made it through my 6 hours Teen Package. All the people working at KBees are amazing, but I really like Karens's style of teaching and I would highly recommend her. I could never dream that I would be driving in and around Flemington back roads, highways and circles, and now I do!! Very good all around Great service Amazing instruction Affordable prices On time and good energy read more

This is an amazing school! I did my 6 hours with Hickory and learned everything the wrong way! I took a short 2 hour lesson with this school and its a one woman operation but she straightened out all my driving problems. I felt safe with her instructing me and after my 2 hour lesson I passed and got my license!! I would recommend this school to anyone who is doing any driving in the near future! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Karen! I took my son to Kbees and her professionalism and guidance helped my son pass his driver's test. I am confident that Karen made my son into a careful competent and safe driver. She was inexpensive compared to others but that didn't cost me quality of his education. Thank you for a great experience. read more
