We simply can’t say enough good things about Midwest Driving School, and especially instructor Ted Zuzzio. Ted made the entire 6 hours of driving instruction an amazing and memorable experience for our son, John. He gained a great degree of confidence while driving with Ted, and had a blast, too! It was a joy to meet you Coach Ted, and we thank you! God bless!

Excellent driving school. Johnny’s classroom instruction provides crucial information, knowledge, and familiarity with the laws that are essential to operation a motor vehicle. Wes, the in-the-car instructor, was patient, careful, and attentive. All documentation needed is provided upon completion. An excellent choice with a great group of folks.

Johnny was such a nice instructor! He was a little tough at first but he’s so nice. He made the class go by very quick and makes having to drive in the car for 6 hours a fun time. 10/10 definitely recommend going here!!

My sixteen-year-old grandson was already a pretty experienced driver when we enrolled him, but he still came home after his final driving session exclaiming about how much more he had learned at Midwest. His instructor was Johnny, and my grandson had nothing but praise. Well worth the money!

Johnny Beane made the driving experience very fun. He also made the class less boring and had it go by very fast. He was very funny and I enjoyed talking to him. I also liked how short the experience went including the driving and class.

My teacher was Johnny and he was also my driving instructor. When I first had to drive, I was soooo nervous and I didn’t want to go at all. After driving with Johnny, I fell in love with driving because he made it fun. I recommend going to Midwest Driving School. And you won’t regret it.

The class work went really well, but the 6 hours of driving made a lot of difference in our daughter’s ability and confidence. Mike, her driving instructor, was very flexible scheduling those hours. It was a great experience all the way around.

I really enjoyed it, easy and straight to the point. Their guys get it done right while having a good time. The instructor was fun to talk to in the classroom and even more fun to drive with. 6 hours seemed like a lot but it went by fast. Thanks Midwest!!!
