I was lucky to have my instructor Jeff. Professional and very kind and positive person. Taught me how to ride on the first try. Thanks a lot Jeff.

Kathleen Hardison was my instructor/trainer and she was beyond excellent. Super nice, funny, social and very outgoing. I felt super comfortable right away and learned so much this past month, i couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Cantos's Driving School.

Cantors Driving School was incredibly helpful in helping me get past my fear of driving. I was very nervous before starting lessons, and wasn't sure if I'd be successful on the road. Thankfully, my instructor, Skip Mcomber, was kind, patient, and gave me useful tips to take with me moving forward. If you're just starting out like me, and are seeking driving lessons, I highly recommend Cantors because it was a truly great learning experience!

Just got my certificate of completion for this driving course from my instructor Kathleen today! She was an immensely wonderful and pleasant driving instructor. She was patient with me, pointed out and critiqued my mistakes, and let me through the process of becoming both a safe and better driver overall. Along with that, she was very kind, humorous, and fun to talk to on our learning sessions, with plenty of stories to share to make the time fly by. I would recommend both her, and this driving school for anyone looking for a great and comfortable "learn to drive" experience.

I love this driving school!! They are so nice, I got Skip as my instructor and he makes you feel so comfortable driving. He's a very nice and social guy. He gave me lots of tips and tricks with the rules of the road and driving. I only needed 4 lessons, and I got my TCC! I'm glad I got these lessons, it honestly made driving a lot easier! 10/10 recommend getting lessons from Cantor's.

Cantour's driving school is truly great program I encourage anyone who's learning to drive to partake in this program. My teacher was Boyd he was patient and helpful, whilst also telling great stories keeping the long (but beneficial) driving lessons interesting. I encourage anyone who's considering this program to take all 4 days as that is the most beneficial and includes the opportunity to take the actual driving test.

My daughter Becca just completed the Green Light Package with Monty. Monty was so professional, understanding about my daughters nervousness being on the road. He spoke with me after every lesson to go over what she needs practice on and told me every where they went. She even went on the freeway, which I as a mother am scared to take her on! Becca will be going to the MVD in two weeks to pick up her drivers license.

I will be nervous to let my child go solo for the first time, but know that she has received exceptional training from Cantor's so that eases my mind!! My baby is growing up:) Thank You Frank for handling some scheduling changes I had to make and always was so nice to talk to. Happy Thanksgiving!

I purchased the 10 hour driving package as a complete beginner and was able to pass my road test and get my liscense the same day. I certainly got what I paid for! The experience of my instructor Kathleen was invaluable!, And her encouragement and support reinforced my confidence and I would like to thank cantor's for the unforgettable experience.Thank you Cantors Driving School!

Can't thank Joe and Cantor's Driving School enough for the wonderful lessons and confidence the classes gave my daughter (and no joke, I learned a few new things about driving myself)! This school was highly recommended to me, and now it's my pleasure to recommend this school to YOU! Truly outstanding business: professional, courteous, excellent communication! South Fl residents, ask for Joe, he's simply the best!

I highly recommend Cantor's Driving School! I used them for both of my sons. They are knowledgeable and professional. The instructors are friendly and made my children feel comfortable while learning important driving skills. Frank is very helpful, flexible and patient when dealing with challenging school and sports schedules. Use Cantor's Driving School...you will be happy you did!

Thanks to Cantor Driving School. Our son gained confidence driving, and he learned much. He passed with a perfect score!!! The instructor was friendly, patient, and prompt every day of instruction. The instructor knew the driving road course well. We were so relieved when we left it to the pros. This nervous mom couldn't handle being the driving instructor for her son anymore. It was a great experience for us all.

Our family had a fantastic experience with this company. The owner was extremely helpful, organized and customer-service oriented. Our teen's driving instructor, Jeff, was skilled, supportive and provided superior driving education and guidance. I would highly recommend this company to any parent who wants the best for their teen driver. Thank you again to Frank and Jeff for everything!

My last lesson was yesterday. i'm so happy i chose this driving school. My instructor was Trace Dawson and I was so nervous to drive on my first lesson. He was so patient with me and gave me all the tips and tricks to be a good driver. We not only went on good routes to practice, they were also extremely fun. My instructor was very good at helping calm my nerves when driving and now i don't get nervous at all. The test at the end of my 4 lessons was easy to pass after i had all the practice. Thank you so much for all the help! I definitely recommend signing up for this driving school :)))

My daughter Sidona had Trace Dawson as her driving instructor, he did amazing at teaching her. She was very anxious and nervous about driving beforehand, he helped her build confidence in her driving. She said that he was very kind, helpful, and a great teacher. I would highly recommend this school for anyone who needs to learn how to drive, and I would even recommend Trace as their instructor. Thank you for helping my daughter succeed in her driving!

I completed my driving lessons this morning with Kathleen H. as my instructor and she was awesome! She's a smart and funny woman, and makes the experience as painless as possible while also teaching proper driving skills. I truly appreciated the relaxed (yet professional) ambience which helped ease my anxiety about driving. I passed my road test and finally got my driver's license after stressing about it for years. If you're reading these reviews and are on the fence about booking an appointment, just do it! Cantor's Driving School is a great choice and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Kathleen :)

My driver, Rachelle, from the first minute of the first lesson, was very understanding and I could tell she was trying her best to cater her lessons to my experience and me as a person. She was very helpful, calm, and understanding. Not once during the entire class was I yelled at nor did I feel any more anxiety due to my instructor. Overall, great results, great confidence booster when it comes to being behind the wheel, and a great service overall.

My Trainer is Trace Dawson he teach me how to drive and he so patience and always telling me i can do it. so i can have confident to drive not nervous so I'm very thankful he teach me how to be confident to drive and i learn alot from him and his a nice person I will recommend him and the cantors to all my friends for there kids. thank you very much for teaching me how to drive.

I'm so thankful for this driving school and especially to my instructor Trace Dawson, I have anxiety and this is my first time driving but I feel so blessed because I have good instruction very professional, kind, and very consistent. I never feel anxious I feel comfortable and have a very nice car to drive. I highly recommend taking this driving school who feel worried about their driving skill.

And I highly recommend my instructor Trace Dawson a very kind person a good one in the company. If only I can give 10000 stars I will. Kudos! To my instructor and this driving school. Job well done. More power and Godbless

Had an awesome time with Andrew. Simply fantastic. I love driving anyway and want to know everything about cars. Andrew is an awesome guy, perfect trainer and the best at what he does. Couldn't ask for more. Satisfied 100%. Highly recommend Cantors and if possible, try it with Andrew S.

I finished my last lesson yesterday, and I think that this school is one of the best that Arizona can offer when it comes to learning how to drive. My instructor, Kathleen H, was immensely helpful in calming my anxiety and explaining what to do and not do. She was very thorough when critiquing my driving and would always tell me what to expect for my next lesson so I could practice and show up prepared. Kathleen is very compassionate and clearly cares about the student's safety and mindset when on the road.

I commend Kathleen H as an instructor, as she made me feel a lot more comfortable about driving. I would always be a nervous wreck before my lessons, but would eventually calm down through Kathleen's demeanor and understanding. Not only was Kathleen great, but so was the car I drove. Despite being used so often, I had absolutely no issues with the car during my lessons. The car we drove was a 2018 Mazda3 Sport. Cantor's Driving School helped me a lot with my driving anxiety and defensive driving skills. I absolutely recommend taking their classes if you're trying to learn how to drive and want to take a hands-on approach right away.

I highly recommend both my instructor Jeff and Cantor's Driving School to any students. I really enjoyed my driving lessons. My instructor Jeff was very exceptional. He is the best instructor who taught me from the scratch. He really gave me confidence in my driving skills and was very effective. He helped me learn so many driving skills within the time frame that we had in 10 hrs of package.

My Instructor 'Scott' Walker' was very patient, punctual, professional and was very helpful throughout my lessons, couldn't ask for a better Instructor. Thank you Scott! I feel more confident to drive by myself now. I would recommend Cantor's driving school for some one who is looking for driving lessons.

I had driving instructor Rachelle and she was very nice and patient with me. I'm used to nervous passengers like my mom teaching me to drive. So having her was a great change. I learned more in my 2.5 hour session then the past on and off driving i've been doing for years. I will definitely be doing another session before my road test. one thing. i find it weird that they don't send a confirmation email or text letting you know that it was booked. like yes you can log on to their website to check your appointments, but a text or email would definitely be better.

I was initially hesitant to pay for driving classes but coming from a different country, I'm glad I did! Lisa was my instructor and she was super nice and helps you learn how to drive in a calm manner. She helped me drive in different settings and helped me become aware of other drivers since they don't always do what they are supposed to do. Never once did I feel uncomfortable or scared to drive since Lisa gave me instructions in a calm manner so it was definitely an enjoyable experience. If you want to pick a driving instructor, I would highly recommend Lisa!

I am 15 just about to turn 16 I was very nervous about driving before this course but it has changed my perspective and safety of the road it is very easy to drive and be safe while driving I learned many techniques and a how to drive in many situations. Jeff was my driving instructor and I would definitely recommend him he is a great guy and overall very happy and makes you calm while driving I would recommend to anyone needing help driving!!

Let's just say if you're not going to Cantor's Driving School, then you're missing out on such an awesome experience. I'm currently 23 years old and haven't driven a car since I first got my permit in 2016, so I was terrified. Rest assured I had an awesome instructor, Ms. Kathleen H., that helped me through my nerves. Every single time she helped me boost my confidence more and more! There wasn't any rushing, nor any second guessing. Now, I'm an official licensed driver with the confidence of a pro! I would highly recommend Cantor to anyone who was thinking about driving schools, and Kathleen H. as your instructor. Thank you Ms. Kathleen!

I had a great time and my instructor, Rachelle was amazing. I thought she was amazing and when I made mistakes or needed some guidance she wasn't overly harsher but made sure that I understood my mistakes and how to approach it next time I faced it again. So when I have a younger sibling who needs to do driving school I would come here and i would like to have Rachelle because of how great she was. Side Note: she is very friendly and makes you feel secure, safe, and somewhat cared for. Overall an A+ place to help get your drivers license and get some experience under the belt.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Cantor's Driving School!! Sean is AMAZING and was the perfect instructor. He helped me overcome a fear of driving and made me comfortable, confident, and at ease, all the while enjoying each of my 5 sessions. I credit him with passing my road test the first try! Every single member of the Cantor's team was fabulous- they were informative, supportive, friendly, and clearly approach each client with compassion and professionalism. Sean, Dani, Heather, Cameron, Kim, Sherri- everyone was an absolute pleasure to work with!!

They helped navigate the process, including DMV challenges, as I moved from NYC to PA, every step of the way. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone navigating obtaining a license in a safe and supportive setting. Thank you so much Cantor's for helping me on my journey! Forever grateful

My daughter had a great experience. Her instructor, Lisa, was fantastic! They went on adventures downtown (parallel parking, one-way roads, etc.), driving on freeways, and even out to Saguaro Lake! Lisa did my daughter's driving test also, which was less stressful and a time-saver. I highly recommend!

I was a student at Cantor's Driving School AZ and I really enjoyed my lessons and the professionalism that the school gives. The driving school was very helpful and easy to reach for any queries that I had. My instructor Jeff was very remarkable. He was simply the BEST instructor!! He really gave me confidence in my driving skills and he was very effective and helped me learn so many driving skills within the time frame that we had in the green light package.

I really appreciate the driving skills that I attained which will enable me to become an assertive defensive driver. I highly recommend both my instructor Jeff and Cantor's Driving School to any forthcoming students.

My daughter had her 3 driving lessons with Keith Conlan. She had a great experience. She was able to pass her drivers test on the first try! Great instructors! I definitely recommend this driving school.

A huge thank you to Cantor's Driving School! Teaching my teenage son to drive was challenging and stressful! Making the phone call to schedule lessons was the best decision ever! From the first phone call to the driving test, it was the easiest process ever. Gene, my son's instructor, was awesome! Showed up on time, followed all CDC guidelines and taught my son how to drive. My son was very prepared for the driving test that he took with Glenn through Cantors. Cantor's Driving school provides quality lessons with reliable instructors.

The driving test was stress free, actually the entire process was stress free! I am so grateful to Gene for teaching my son how to drive. These lessons provide piece of mind and I would highly recommend them! From the scheduling, to the lessons, and the driving test, everything was smooth and it was a great experience! If you are looking for quality driving lessons, Cantor is the best!

I definitely recommend Cantor's Driving School! My instructor, Emily, was the best driving instructor I could've hoped to have. During my three lessons with her, she patiently helped me to refine driving skills and made sure to explain reasons for each route, turn, etc. Her patience and kindness made driving stress-free, while also allowing me to become a better driver and pass my road test this morning!
