South Shore Driving School is very professional and has extremely experienced instructors. I paid another Driving school for 5 lessons and My son had a bad experience where he learned nothing , So I contacted South Shore Driving School and He was Instructed by a very Professional experienced Teacher named Bandula On his first lesson with Bandula he learned more then learned in the five lessons from the previous school. Bandula was very patient and professional, I am very pleased . He was taught parking and K turns along with proper turning skills and I felt comfortable with him Driving after just two lessons . What I really like about his Instructor was he contacted me with The progress of my son's lesson and how he is doing and what he needs to practice. After a few lessons he was ready for the Roadtest . And of course he passed on the first try. I would definitely recommend South Shore Driving School . There prices are very reasonable and they don't try to make you pay for outrageous Driving packages that are not necessary. I would like to thank them and there Instructor. Bandula . I will be calling them in a few months when my daughter is ready for her license. read more

I was looking for a driving instructor to teach me how to drive after having little to no experience behind the wheel, and I'm so glad I found Owen. From the very beginning, I was nervous just getting into the car, but Owen created such a calm, supportive atmosphere that I quickly began to feel more comfortable. He was incredibly patient, never made me feel bad about my mistakes, and always took the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly so I could learn from them. Owen has a real talent for teaching -- he's professional but also very easy to talk to, which made each lesson feel relaxed and stress-free. He gave me clear instructions, helpful tips, and honest feedback, all while building up my confidence every step of the way. I appreciated how he stayed calm even in tricky situations and always focused on helping me improve. Thanks to Owen, I went from barely knowing anything about driving to feeling confident and prepared to be on the road. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend Owen. He made what could have been a stressful experience into something I actually looked forward to. read more

I had a great experience with this driving school as a young adult with anxiety learning how to drive. Phil was my instructor and he was very patient, kind, calm, honest and helpful with every lesson. He's done this for a long time, he knows what he's doing. He scheduled a great location for me to take my road test in a quiet area and always gave me reassurance. He has great tricks and methods of learning all the skills and techniques which helped me park perfectly almost every time! I really appreciate all he did for me in the three months I took lessons. He gave me as many lessons as I needed and didn't try to screw me out of money or anything. I also loved driving in only the SUV's, the Nissan Rogue, felt like a safe car that was comfortable, even for someone small like me. Phil says 90% of his students pass the road test on the first try, and I believe him! I passed on my first try too--thanks to him! read more

I had the best driving instructor Mr. Bandula who has made driving the most simplest task in everyday life. There are hundreds of reviews on Mr. Bandula but I realized that Mr. Bandula not only gave me techniques that instantly improved my driving skills but he gave me real life skills and made me a better person overall. He taught me to treat others with respect not only on the road but also off the road. He taught me the importance of being kind and respectful to others and I know from past experiences with other instructors that none of them made me realize that driving can be made very simple but the respect you show others goes a long way. Mr. Bandula is the only instructor I recommend for new drivers and not only will he make you a great driver but will make you a better person. Thank You South Shore Driving School and Mr. Bandula - Joseph U read more

"I had an excellent experience with this driving school after being unsatisfied with others. My instructor, Bandula, was highly professional, patient, and thorough in his teaching. He not only helped me strengthen my driving skills but also ensured I fully understood the rules of the road. My overall driving skills also taught me clear, practical tips for parallel parking that made the process much easier using just three simple steps. With his guidance, I was able to build confidence behind the wheel and successfully pass my driving test. At the beginning my driving skill really needed work. Through the sessions and classes I was able to gain large insight on driving better on the road. I would strongly recommend this school and especially Bandula to anyone seeking quality driver education." read more

South Shore driving school is an excellent school. My instructor Bandula is an amazing teacher. Without him, I wouldn't have passed my road test today.

I had taken lessons few years ago and failed the test but with Bandula's techniques I passed. He is very patient and flexible with his schedule. He makes time for his students. I highly recommend south shore driving school and encourage you to take lessons with Bandula. My 15 year old daughter will definitely take lessons with him end of this year and my 11 year old when her time comes to drive. Please don't retire any time soon. Thank you so much!!!

Prior to taking lessons at South Shore Driving School, I struggled with driving and definitely wouldn't have passed the road test. Luckily, Bandula is a great instructor. Conveniently, he would pick me up for each lesson, and patiently teach me how to scan and maneuver the road. I struggled quite a bit with parallel parking. Instructor noticed this and we specifically focused on it for a few lessons. His step by step instructions for parking were extremely easy to understand and made parking simple. The day of the road test I was picked up early and given a refresher lesson. Needless to say, I passed the road test, and am grateful for his help. I would definitely recommend this service to others who want to pass the road test and just become better drivers overall. read more

I passed my driving test today. I was so nervous and made so many mistakes on my 1st test. When I was so scared to take another test my husband suggested to me go with new instructor and car to the next test forgetting everything happened on the 1st one. Then I called Ms. Kathy and said my issue. Then she gave me Mr. Phil as my new instructor. He is very patient, kind, calm, honest and helpful . He explained everything I needed to know before the test very well. He has a very good tip to do Parallel parking and it was so helpful me to do it perfectly. Thank you Ms. Kathy for giving me him for my 2nd test. He is awesome. Thank you Mr. Phil for everything you did for making me perfect.

I recently experienced car trouble in a busy intersection on Hylan Blvd. and Guyon Ave. My battery died and the car wouldn't start. I was right on the corner of a busy intersection. It was both dangerous and disruptive to traffic. One of your instructors, Jerry, an older gentleman with a heart of gold came to the rescue. He pulled over took jumper cables from his own trunk, and proceeded to give me a much needed jump. It allowed me to move the car from a dangerous location and get to a mechanic for a much needed service. He was quick to assist and refused to accept any form of compensation for his trouble. He is truly a good samaritan and a fine gentleman. Kudos to your company for employing a person of such character and compassion. read more

I am writing this review with a sense of relief and gratitude to my instructor Sir Bandula who guided me with Patience, kindness and understanding, having survived a bad overall experience with Island Driving School. I must say I had a bad experience to the point where passing my driving test was not achievable the first time around. I was presumptuous in thinking that the Road Test would be a walk in the park for a seasoned driver, having driven for over 20 years in another jurisdiction. Mr. Bandula guided me through the technicalities and I am pleased to say that I was successful. I am forever grateful. Thank you South Shore and Mr. Bandula. Continue to serve with integrity and honesty. Mercedes read more

I highly recommend South Shore Driving school for their professionalism, seamless service and fair fees. After many years of trying to get my license but not finding the time to do it or schools that would work around my schedule I was lucky to find Phil. He made the process so easy from the 5 hour class to the driving lessons and then setting me up for the road test. In a short time I was able to learn how to drive and pass the road test! Phil will not extend lessons if he thinks a student is ready to go for the test. He builds confidence and assures students know how to be safe drivers. Highly recommend it for parents who are looking to make their kids good drivers and adults who have busy schedules. read more

I was unfortunate to lose my available person to take me for my road test the day before my scheduled test.
