I took a package of 5 private driving lessons D.N.V. Distinguished Driving School recently. I always had anxiety about driving- so I really needed a patient and calm instructor.

Thomas is perfect! He knows exactly how and when to introduce more challenging situations. During the classes he is patient and calmly corrects you when you make a mistake- while making adjustments to ensure safety. He focuses on developing good driving habits- not just focused on the test.

Overall, I would highly recommend Thomas!

I appreciate Thomas. He gave good tips and great feedback on how to drive. But don't take it as im blaming you. I know your job can be hard, but although you are a great instructor, please be more aware for the beginners. As a beginner myself, I enjoyed the lessons and learning throughout the process, I just needed more learning tips a little bit and patient criticism would be nice too. Overall, Thomas is a great instructor he's not too bad:)

Thomas did a great job helping my daughter gain confidence behind the wheel. She was well prepared for her exam and passed with flying colors.

When I first scheduled a lesson, I honestly thought I already knew how to drive(for the most part I did). Thomas did point out mistakes that I was doing and helped me corrected them. He communicated well with me both on the drive and scheduling. To be honest I feel like I have gotten a bit better, especially driving at night and through the city.

Ian Ye

Five stars for Coach Thomas!

Ian's driving lesson with Coach Thomas was absolutely fantastic. Thomas's instructions were crystal clear, making it easy for Ian to master the proper techniques for turning and stopping, especially at stop signs. This is exactly what you want in a driving instructor – someone who can explain things in a way that a new teen driver can grasp.

We're so impressed with Thomas's teaching style that we'll definitely be recommending him to all of our friends and family members who are looking for a driving instructor. Thanks to Thomas, Ian is well on his way to becoming a safe and confident driver.

Best. School. Ever.

Learning to drive with Thomas as my instructor was an absolute delight. His exceptional teaching skills were evident from the very first lesson. One of Thomas's standout qualities is his extraordinary patience. No matter how many times I needed to go over a particular maneuver or concept, he remained calm and supportive, creating a stress-free learning environment. This made even the most challenging aspects of driving seem manageable.

Beyond his patience, Thomas exudes charisma. His positive and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, turning what could have been nerve-wracking experiences into enjoyable ones. His ability to establish a comfortable rapport with his students is a testament to his people skills and genuine passion for teaching.

What truly sets Thomas apart is his talent for instruction. He has a remarkable ability to adapt his teaching style to suit individual learning preferences. He tailored each lesson to my specific needs, ensuring that I not only understood the fundamentals of driving, but also gained the confidence to tackle more complex situations on the road.

I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas to anyone in search of a driving instructor. With his combination of patience, charisma, and teaching talent, he provides an outstanding learning experience. Thanks to Thomas, I now feel confident and capable behind the wheel, and I couldn't be more grateful for the skills he imparted.

Thank you so much, Thomas, for an unforgettable experience!
