I'm not trying to criticize his technique as a whole, but I do want others to have a clear sense of what to expect. Booking a session was quick and easy, and I was able to get an appointment the very next day, which I really appreciated. I understand that driving instructors sometimes need to be curt and direct for safety reasons. However, I think the type of feedback also needs to match the situation and the student's experience level. For me, the lesson felt like an hour of being yelled at. I was constantly aware that I was doing something wrong, but not always what I had done wrong or how to fix it. My impression was that Lucien overestimated my prior driving experience. This could likely have been resolved by taking a few moments to pause, talk through what we were about to do, and ask whether I had done it before. When I asked questions, Lucien was willing to demonstrate, but many of his instructions weren't clear to me, and his tone made me feel as though I was being scolded, even if that wasn't his intention. If I made the same mistake multiple times, that suggested I didn't understand something, not that I wasn't trying. Instead, he seemed frustrated that I didn't get it immediately and would tell me I was doing it wrong without giving concrete, descriptive feedback about how to correct it. For example, when I was practicing turning, he would yell that I was doing it wrong and grab the wheel, which didn't help me understand what I needed to change. It would have been far more helpful to pull over, explain the steps clearly, and then practice on a quiet street where I could try again safely and independently. There were also times when I misunderstood his instructions (for instance, going into the leftmost lane instead of going to the leftmost lane that eventually turns right). His immediate response was to yell that I hadn't listened, rather than clarify what I had misunderstood. This approach felt infantilizing and made me upset and distracted, which wasn't conducive to learning. Pedagogically, it also didn't make much sense to me. I wasn't paying $70 an hour to ignore instructions; if I wasn't following them correctly, it meant something about the instructions wasn't clear. A more helpful response would have been to ask what part I had misunderstood and adjust the explanation so I could succeed next time. Overall, Lucien may be a good fit for students who thrive under very direct and high-pressure instruction, are very good at articulating the specific skills that they already have and are hoping to gain, and are better at interpreting his feedback. For others, his style may be stressful and difficult to learn from.

Despite Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 90, Section 10 clearly stating that foreign license holders can legally drive in the state for up to one year with a proper translation, the school rejected my application citing Appendix C from the RMV -- which only applies to license conversion, not to the legality of driving as a recent arrival. I have been in the U.S. for just 4 months, well within the 6-month window confirmed by the RMV for driving on a foreign license. I explained this to the school, but they were unwilling to acknowledge the legal difference. I found their approach dismissive and poorly informed of state law. It's unfortunate to see a driving school show such limited understanding of the legal framework they operate within. I do not recommend them to international drivers, especially those who meet all legal requirements but are treated as if they don't.

When my daughter told me that her friends wanted to sign up with a group discount, I did a quick…read moresearch on Yelp and didn't see anything concerning so I thought, "how much different could another driving school be???" Let's start off that this school was originally named RANDOLPH Driving School which had more telling reviews... The classroom time is the classroom time. There are certain things they need to cover so I would consider it to be adequate. For the parent class I learned somethings that I may have forgotten and "interesting" ways to avoid insurance hikes. The issue really starts with the availability of driving times. There is one owner who is also the only instructor and driving times are only available 10am and 12pm Monday through Saturday. So if you have a high school age student you options are limited and it took us over 6 months to have 6 road classes. Then our first session had some angst because of the owner's tardiness policy. While the instructor did arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled time, he also left 7 minutes before the scheduled time and didn't bother to pick up my daughter when she immediately called him. So that's probably a good reason for the instructor to be consistently late for every schedule road class we scheduled there after. The icing on the cake was when we finally finished the road classes and we needed to pay for the certificate release to the DMV which was an additional charge of $15. We asked who to make the check payable to and he said it was "cash only". So we requested to have a receipt which his response was he only does that at the office which we would have to wait 2 weeks for. When I showed up for the receipt, he showed me an error screen on his computer that the receipt can't be printed. I asked for a hand written receipt and he decided to print off the completion of the course which only showed the cost of the course but not the cost for the certificate release. When I asked him to hand write on the printout for the $15 he adamantly refused and said he "doesn't give receipts." So I found the sign on the front of his desk mildly amusing. So after 9 months, the only reason I could find to rate this school more than 1 star was I learned it's better for me to take a head on collision when someone is driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid insurance rate hikes...

I have always been Terrified (with a capital T, mind you) of driving and got my permit a good five times before actually taking the plunge. Do that math. That's 10+ years! I researched driving schools in my area and happened upon QADS. I was skeptical because that's just my nature and my confidence was in the dumps, but I figured ONE LESSON WOULDN'T HURT ME. Hopefully. At least not too much. I'm so glad I did. My first time behind the wheel, Andrea was very patient with me and gave me tips. She was also very friendly and made me feel at ease, which was very important because let's not forget that Terrified bit. As I got more and more comfortable behind the wheel with both Andrea and Ray, my confidence level was given a boost. Then came the actual road test. Yeah, I figured that would come eventually. These instructors know the ins and outs of the road test and will prepare you to the best of their ability. Oh, and they're not shy to let you know whether you are ready or not. Why would you want to waste your money? You just have to trust them. I was soooo nervous the day of my test and Ray assured me I would be fine. The kicker was the car full of students just before me who had all failed (from another school, of course). I passed on the first try and was completely stunned, to tell you the truth. I never thought it would have been possible. Look, I got my license in December. It is now May. I suppose I waited to write the review just to make sure it would stick LOL. I am ever-grateful to QADS. I highly recommend them to anyone who is overly anxious and/or nervous. I would imagine they are a great resource for younger drivers as well. Their prices are very reasonable and staff are caring as all hell. Can I say that? Also, does anyone take lessons AFTER they've already gotten their license? I kinda just wanna hang out. :)
