Our situation was different than most. My 16-year old daughter already had her learner's permit, been driving for 6 months, and failed her first attempt to obtain her driver's license at PennDOT. Although I believed my daughter was a good driver, she made mistakes in the parking lot that failed her right away. For instance, she was not being far enough behind the white line before the stop sign and did not wait at the stop sign for 4 seconds. Since I am the one who taught her, I felt terrible and did not want her to fail again for things I had not taught her properly. So, I took to the internet to find a driving school. After reviewing the information and videos for Shepherd's Driver Consulting (www.shepherdsdriverconsulting.com), I just knew that Daryl would be a great teacher for my daughter. My daughter has Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Daryl's relaxed demeanor seemed like it would be perfect to help keep my daughter calm. I was right! My daughter instantly felt comfortable with Daryl and now considers him a friend! Also, Daryl was very receptive to my phone calls and text messages. Unfortunately, my daughter's anxiety with the tester was too great and she failed a second time. Daryl stayed positive and encouraging. He explained that he never would have supported her testing if he did not think she was a good driver. Daryl continued to help my daughter practice and saw her pass her test! I think Daryl is a fantastic caring individual and anyone would benefit from having him as their driving instructor. read more

As a previous student of Shepherd's Driving School, I would even recommend this to my child. Even till this day I still enjoying driving because of the lessons I've took from Daryl. Even from time to time I still see him and his new students, I even recommended this to some of my friends. The important thing is there really is nothing to be afraid about, He's not there to judge you, or make you feel under pressure. For me it was about being a better driver also being more responsible on the road, and to be different from other drivers. Even after my first hour, I still wanted to continuing the lesson, not just for the driving part, but also for the vibe, the vibe was very positive. I honestly couldn't wait for my next lesson. Daryl was a great guy to be around. read more

Daryl is a great teacher and made sure I learnt all the important tenets of driving. He had a lot of patience in guiding me which is always important in a teacher. He was also very helpful in agreeing to a schedule which i could manage based on my work. He also made sure that he coached me specifically on what is expected in the driving test as well. I highly recommend Shepherd's driving school. I would also suggest to go for the full training course with Shepherd's Driving School even if you have had prior driving experience especially if you are new to driving in Pennsylvania. read more

I enrolled in the accelerated program (3 one-hour classes) with Daryl Shepherd recently. Had a good experience with him! Passed the road test first time I took it. He's an easy going, positive person and has a subtle but sufficiently assertive style of instruction. They're also very good with communication- answer and reply to calls and text messages promptly. Even if running late, expect to be always updated with the situation. If you want to learn/ brush up on safe and smooth driving, Shepherd's Driving Consulting is the place to go! read more

It had been a decade since I was behind the wheel and after working with Daryl, he gave me the confidence I needed to pass my exam on the first try. Daryl makes learning or relearning how to drive as easy and painless as possible. Very down to earth, calm and patient. Wasn't nervous from the beginning of the first lesson. He is very professional and great at communicating. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in driving lessons. Would rate 10 stars if I could! read more

In addition, I appreciated how well he communicated with me as the parent. We highly recommend Daryl! read more
