I do not recommend Jack Henley as a driving instructor to anybody. He belittled me, screamed at me, made me cry and made me afraid to drive with him when I had to. He has very poor communication skills when it comes to scheduling time to drive and when you are actually driving with him as well. He is very discouraging and makes driving for me frightful. Please do your kids or anyone a favor and find a different instructor, there are no words to describe this place. (I used a fake name)

Through COVID, it was difficult to get into any school. Jack Henley kept in communication with us and worked with us to find dates that worked with our schedules. Driving with three different instructors provided different perspectives and was helpful. We recommend them.

This place is so slow I've been waiting over 4 months to get my in cars scheduled, on top of that, driving with mr. Henley is not fun, he makes you drive 35 in 55s, simply don't go here, not even as a last resort, it's faster just to wait until you're 18. DO NOT GO HERE. Driving with Henley is so bad that he will make you turn the way HE is accustomed to, he will not let you do what's comfortable for you, and it will just mess you up.

Terrible communication, still waiting to get our daughter on the driving schedule 2 1/2 months after class ended. If you want your teen to be able to drive DO NOT go here.
