I hired an instructor at Sun*** Driving School before. Based on the reviews I read, he was strict,…read moreso I did at least 10 hours with him. I didn't realize until recently when I booked my driving class with Ansari that a strict instructor doesn't work for me. At Ansari Driving School, the instructor was very patient. I've been very forgetful since I had a baby, but he was very patient with me. He motivated me all the time, always reminded me to relax, and believed in me. Another thing I really liked about his teaching style was that every time we went for a drive and I made a mistake, we would do the same scenario again, and he would explain what I did wrong, especially on the main road. He also taught me many different scenarios, particularly with parking and making corrections. I booked a total of 8 hours with him. I am very happy with the way he taught me. I'm writing this review because I want everyone to know that he's one of the best instructors out there. Very understanding. I highly recommend him to anyone planning to book him and checking his website. Book right away. You'll get your money's worth.

I took lessons with Paul 5 years ago. I was 30 years old. I had never driven and I was as scared as…read moreany new driver could be. Paul helped me from day 1 where we didn't even use the gas pedal, just coasting, to my driver's license exam. I did pass on my first try! He gave tips and tricks that would help for the exam as well as driving in real life. He was firm/assertive when needed but I also felt safe and comfortable as a terrified driver. He made me step outside of my comfort zone. He loaned me his sunglasses when I couldn't see. Because of Paul's help, I am able to work jobs that involve driving. I can now drive giant diesel trucks and haul trailers for work. Yesterday I drove 420 miles in one day. While I will never be a carefree driver, I attribute my driving success to Paul and First Pass Driving. I am eternally grateful for his help.

Changing my rating to one star just because of how the owner responded. It seems he would rather…read moregrasp for straws rather than just take criticism constructively. Also the fact that he refused to address any of the points I brought up, but instead decided to shift blame onto me in a somewhat generic manner. He gave typical responses for why someone wouldn't do well, but can't bring up specific examples. He didn't even pick pronouns when addressing me. It seriously makes me question if he even knows who he's talking to. Also how many students have had similar experiences. Is the problem truly them? Or is he just making up excuses to cover his rear?

I don't think I will ever buy one, but if you can learn a new skill in a week, why not?

Recently (2014-2016) he spent 2-1/2 years at Minnesota School of Business, where he thrived and excelled academically. Then they shut their doors in the middle of his schooling, pretty much souring him on higher education. But Susan at HTC has been so welcoming and encouraging that he has high hopes (or in his words, "cautious optimism" which is the most excitement you'll get! :D) about again pursuing a degree. I was really pleased to learn that some, if not many, of his credits from MSB will transfer. We await the admissions office decision on that, but many students have successfully made the switch. Everything has been smooth during enrollment for fall, so I'll update this review in a few months. I'm very happy with the admissions process and helpfulness of the staff.

He explained to me what my mistakes were and worked on correcting those mistakes. He was able to explain everything I needed to do for me to pass my exam. He was strict, but he was the best driving teacher. He helped me gain confidence and get comfortable driving on the actual road. I highly recommend Sunrise Driving School (especially if you came from a different state/country, as Minnesota has its own laws and regulations). It's a lifetime investment, and it's worth every penny. If you're struggling with your driving test, consider enrolling in a driving school like Sunrise. With the help of an experienced instructor, you, too, can pass your test and gain the confidence to drive safely on the road. Thank you so much, Mez!

The issues we had with this place: The classroom instruction, although adequate , but student didn't care personally for the teacher. Behind the wheel portion of the instruction was awful. They kept stringing us along with "You must complete a BTW class before you can schedule the next one." Well, OK, the catch was that there were scarcely any BTW classes to sign up for! This continued for too long with no progress beyond the first BTW that we decided to cancel our package. They promised a refund check for the remaining unused portion but it took multiple calls over 6 weeks and "the check is in the mail" until finally it was resolved. Stay away from this toxic dis-organization.

I got 100% on my test first time I definitely recommend!! Update: I set up a driving lesson behind the wheel a week in advance with James and told him I have a car to use and I'm 18+. I called and told him I have to change the address and he said that'd be fine. The lady showed up at the wrong address and was confused on what was happening. I told her I have a car to use but she thought we were going to be using hers or going to take the test. I was only expecting to pay 100 for 2 hours but she said 300. I felt bad because she has a broken leg and probably has medical bills but if James has too many customers to care to then the word needs to get out.

On the day of my appointment (9:00) no one showed up, it was snowing so I though, maybe they are late. I waited until 9:30 when the office opened and said "I had an appointment and no one is here yet, just wanted to check in". The women on the phone had a very rude tone and said. "Well your payment didn't go through so we weren't going to send someone with our payment. We called you and your husband and left you both voice messages." I let her know that I didn't have any missed calls or voice messages and that my husband did have a missed call from them but no voice message. She said "well I know there were messages because I personally left them, so we weren't going to send anyone over. We gave you until yesterday to call us back, and because your payment didn't go through, we aren't going to schedule anything with you" I responded saying,"I can see why you would think I wasn't interested if you said you called and left messages and didn't hear from me, however, no messages were left so I had no idea you still needed payment or what you cancelled my appointment". [I was trying to be understanding, while still being confused about these so called message]. I continued and asked if we can move forward with scheduling something in the future. She said "Well you would need to pay the missed appointment and pay for a new appointment and because your card didn't go through, I REALLY doubt you would want to do that". I said, "I was willing to pay for both appointments but because your tone was rude and condescending and the customer service your providing me is uncalled for" I added "when I called and scheduled my first appointment, the man I spoke with was wonderful" then she said, "yeah, he called and left the message with your husband" so I responded "BUT you said you personally left both messages". She continued to be rude to me and speaking to me as if I didn't have the funds to pay them so how could I possible be interested in them. Midway, do yourself a favor and get a new "office manager"! Who by the way when asked for her name she said it was "office manager" and when asked to speak to her supervisor she continue to say that she was "the office manager". She is loosing you business.
