I thought I deserved my license then,…read morebecause I thought I should already have a license at 18, all the kids I went to school with did. Except I failed 3 more tests after that, the other 3 being at official RMV locations, and aside from the last one they were all right about me. I was missing stop signs, making weird lefts, messing up my parallel parking etc. I took my test again today with Bill Rehill, and after waiting for so long, I finally got it. My time taking the test was super pleasant, my examiner (who I unfortunately failed to catch the name of) was super friendly and encouraging, and Bill was having a grand time in the back making jokes and easing the tension of the test. Finally, I have to give my graces to Kevin, who not only helped me this time on fixing my left turns and minor mistakes I would have made, but had actually given me my lessons back in 2018 that taught me the fundamentals of driving that I use so well today to drive. And the best part of all of this? Both Kevin and Bill remembered me, and were happy to see me pass. Kevin and I even caught up about what had happened in our lives since the last time I was there. If anyone were ever to find themself in the position I was in, lacking in a car that would work for a traditional road test, and not able to afford the 600+ for standard TDA lessons, I wouldn't just recommend you take it here, I'd urge you to.

The instructors are excellent and they taught her how to drive and how to be safe on the road. That is the goal. The owner Gilli has gotten a bad wrap here on Yelp. She's not that bad folks. She got my daughter in for a road test very quickly during this Covid pandemic. She runs a tight ship and gets stuff done. As a physician, I wanted a school that would teach my daughter how to be safe on the road. I found that in the instruction at Sharon Driving School. If you want your child to learn how to drive safely and how to pay attention to the road and all surroundings then this is your school. Don't let scheduling challenges or personalities documented here dissuade you. I have cared for enough accident victims to know that I wanted a safe school with excellent teachers to help my child learn how to drive. My daughter's favorite instructors here are Donna, Francine, a kind man with short black hair she never got the name of, and Gilli herself.

Lauren took me on the roads of Norwood for the first time and was very friendly and professional. Here's where it gets confusing. I scheduled a second lesson with the school and on the day of I get an email 10 mins after my scheduled lesson saying that I was a no show. I had been waiting in my house staring at the driveway waiting with no sign of a car so this was just a blatant lie. Then they tried to tell me my number wasn't in the system (not true because Lauren was able to call and text me before my first lesson.) I then find out that during my 11am lesson they went to pick up a different student because they are "down a driver." So first the school tries to blame me for being a no show, when in reality THEY WENT TO THE WRONG HOUSE. On top of that they double booked the hour so they went and picked someone else up for a lesson? The entire exchange was unprofessional and they appeared to blame me. The reality is the instructor was the No Show in this situation since he literally did not come to my house. I understand that it's school vacation week. I'm a teacher. There are plenty of high schoolers ready to get their license this spring so the school took advantage and just peaced out without admitting their mistake. This is the driving school in the area that everyone uses. It's just a shame that they're so quick to blame clients _________ UPDATED REVIEW Just had a 2nd instructor who was wonderful!

Sorry, No TL;DR... review is too long, it won't fit!…read more Anyways... I am going to try and cover three things in this review... my experience at Horizon, experience with flying, and safety of flying (note: I am not a pro, this is based on my observations) Scheduling was a breeze, they are open 7 days a week, and while officially they close at 5, I was offered a 6PM time slot (had scheduled a 10:30, called to see if it was possible for me to re-schedule) I really like that I was asked to pay after my lesson. Not even right before I went in the airplane, but after I was already back on the ground. To me, this goes to say that they are more in the business for the flying than just making some bucks off the students. The person at the desk explained everything in terms of next steps from an administrative/financial perspective should I continue this, such as booking lessons and prices. The instructor explained what I'd be learning in subsequent lessons after the flight. Alright, the flight lesson... I booked the Airman's package... I highly recommend this one as compared to the regular discovery flight. You have 30 minutes more flying time for a cost of $50 more than the $99 half-hour flight. Time flies (pun intended), so value is important. If you are serious about trying this, go for the Airman's package. If a friend put you up to it, or you lost a bet, or it's just a regular ol' bucket list item, then the 30-minute flight might be better. My flight instructor was Victoria, and she was awesome! She went over a flight plan, which would take me over the ocean slightly, then over Gillette Stadium, and then back to the airport. After this it was right to the airplane, which was a 97' Cessna 172R. She was very competent, answered all my questions, and was just friendly! What I also very highly appreciate is that the 60 minutes were in the airplane. There was no time out of those 60 minutes spent on other things. Most of the pre-flight (aside from a couple quick- and necessary checks) were already completed, and the airplane was fueled. Once the pre-flights were done, tower was called, prop was started, and the instructor taxied out to the runway. I got to do part of the takeoff, which was really neat. The instructor handled the pedals (to keep plane on center-line) I gave the plane power, and pulled back on the yoke (a steering wheel in a plane) when the time was right (60-ish knots). From then on out and until we went in for landing, I had control of the airplane, with the instructor helping out with minor adjustments, radios, and throttle. I was allowed to control the airplane, both in turns, and in maintaining course and altitude. This may seem like a piece of cake, and it is... after you've completed the lesson. It's just like learning to drive... it's a piece of cake once you have a feel for cars... if you've never been in a plane like this before, most of it is getting a feel for everything. Flying itself was a blast. Taking off in a commercial airliner is fun because it's like a roller coaster. Here, you do not have that physical sensation... as the plane of only going at ~70MPH at takeoff (as opposed to ~200 for a commercial airliner. The sensation is more psychological, and it is a thrill to take off, and start to soar above the world. What distinguishes it from commercial is that YOU are doing the flying. Once at altitude, it's rather serene, but doesn't get boring because you are still focusing on maintaining course and altitude, as it was on this day, where there were light winds... which have a surprisingly noticeable (although not severe) effect. Now, for safety... Victoria makes the claim that flying is safer than driving, and I agree with her. What it comes down to is this... there are more things that can go wrong in a plane, certainly. But there are many more safety measures to save you in these cases. Airplanes have two of almost everything, two magnetos, two radios, and loads of instruments that cover at least in part what some other instrument does. Even bigger than that is control... in a car you drive based only on your judgements and perceptions. In a plane you have control, and you can hear other planes on the radio, so you know what they are planning to do. Also, any change in course has to be approved by control, so people aren't going to, or at least really shouldn't change course or altitude on a whim. Pre-flight on these things is really intense. Everything is checked... instruments/gauges, engine, brakes, magnetos, mechanicals (do the yoke and pedals control everything normally, do flaps work). This is before every flight... unlike a car where you only so something when there is a warning light, strange sound, or to change the inspection sticker. Oh yes, and the maintenance schedule is intense! Engine overhauls happen very often to make sure a problem doesn't occur. In cars, engine overhauls are done after a significant problem occurs. A well deserved 5 stars

I can't believe Horizon Aviation in Norwood isn't on Yelp! Now that they're added time to give…read morethem their first review. I came to Horizon after moving to the Boston area for a new job. I was towards the end of my private pilot training back in the NY area (had just passed my Stage II checkride) and after getting settled was itching to get it wrapped up. After browsing around at the different airport options I chose Norwood. I liked it's proximity to Logan so it would be a could way to be comfortable flying around Bravo airspace. Walked in and met David at the front desk. Within 20 minutes I was signed up to fly with Kyle G. So the flight instructors at Horizon are the best I've dealt with. My instructor Kyle was a really great guy that definitely knew what to focus on for my training and made sure I made constant progress towards my license. A couple times I flew with Vicky K and she was fantastic as I took each of my stage checkrides). Then the day came and I took my checkride and passed on the first try, all thanks to the dedication and training of the team at Horizon. So if you're thinking about learning to fly in the Boston area, stop by Horizon at Norwood and talk to David or Pete at the front desk and sign up for an intro lesson. I can vouch you're working with some of the best individuals in the flight instruction industry.
