Our instructor Bobby is very good teacher. Under his patient teaching, my son mastered the basic driving skills, and passed the road test in one try. More, his parallel parking technique was so good I also learned from my son.

What a great driving school. When we first walked into their beautiful office and how pleasant their two receptionist were to us, what a great first impression! Then we got an email from the instructor to confirm my son's appointment and to reaffirm that they were going to take him to a nice comfortable area to start his driving. That made him feel at ease and us as parents too. From the first lesson to the third lesson, the instructor was very reassuring to my son and explain every aspect of driving and his mistakes and how to correct them. Well I can say I will highly recommend this driving school to all my friends with 100% guarantee.Thank You E.D.S

Had a great experience with the instructor Justin. He was so good, comfortable, and motivating person. He had a simple technique to learn any newcomers. With his teachings, no one will fail the road test and it will be useful in your real-life driving. I would suggest or recommend him as an effective instructor at the Edison Driving School.
Thank you so much, Justin.

Justin was my instructor for my 6 hours and he taught me really the mindset of driving. To anyone who is going to or wants to learn how to drive you’ve just got to understand that you are only as good as you think you are. That even if you think there is no way that you can drive. You’ll be right as long as you think that way. If you truly want to learn you’ve got to believe that you can learn and improve and I’ve done so and will hopefully continue to do so thanks to my instructor! Excellent experience.

I had a great experience. I was nervous until I began my lesson with Justin. He is very relatable, charismatic, and definitely knows how to do his job. On my second lesson of even driving on a normal road, I drove onto 287 with ease. Justin taught me along the way and never made me feel like I didn’t know what I was doing. Great experience, great conversations, and overall great teacher. Edison driving school is very helpful when teaching people how to drive.

Justin was my instructor and he was very calm, supportive, funny, and encouraging. i walked into my 6 hours nervous and unknown to how my first ever time driving would go. on the first day, he gave the best and most encouraging talk which helped me understand and calm myself down and resulted in me being very confident. i walked away much more confident than i first started thanks to him and i feel as if now i can be a safe driver.

Although I only spent 6 total hours with Justin, I never once felt restricted or felt as if this was strictly an instructor-student lesson. Driving with Justin made me feel comfortable in my abilities and never embarrassed to ask questions or just to talk in general. He made learning driving a fun and easy experience and helped me learn from my mistakes. I highly recommend Justin as your driving instructor as he makes it the best experience possible!

I had Bobby as my instructor for 6 hours. I have no words to describe how amazing he was. He was very patient and calm when driving with him. I was nervous before meeting Bobby but after we met and drove for a while my nerves were eased. I would definitely recommend Bobby as an instructor. He made parallel parking a breeze. He explains everything thoroughly once you do it, and he is calm when you make mistakes. He even gives you pointers and tips for your road test! Driving with Bobby was really fun. He's an awesome instructor. Ask for Bobby.

Last week, I took a refresher course with Mike Fischer before my road test. It was my first time with Mike and he couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. He picked up on the things I struggled with quickly and did everything he could to make me do things I was supposed to be doing. Before my test, he made sure I had a complete understanding of the course, how to park and all the other important skills that are tested. Through Mike's uplifting attitude, he kept me calm and gave me the confidence I needed to pass my road test!

I passed my driver's test today on my first try after practicing with Mike Fischer. Mike made sure I was fully prepared for my test, even taking the time to draw pictures and walk me through every step. He made driving lessons fun, always showing up early and enthusiastically. He was always patient in explaining and made learning how to drive an enjoyable experience.

It is clear that he truly cares about his students and wants to see them become responsible drivers. I looked forward to all of my lessons with Mike and would strongly recommend requesting him as an instructor.

Hello, Carlos D. is a great instructor. He relaxed me when I was driving. He taught everything in a nice way, never yelling or getting mad. He's very helpful when you ask him a question and he is an all around great instructor. I could not have asked for anything better.

They would get so much more business if the front desk person was more friendly. I guarantee this.

I passed my driver's test on the first try so the lessons were definitely effective; shoutout to Mike for making such a calm and easygoing atmosphere inside a what would otherwise be a moving metal box of death with an uneasy teen on the wheel. I can proudly say that I can parallel park with more ease.
