This school has been in business longer than ANY in the area, and for good reason- it's still the BEST !! The staff & instructors are very pleasant. Well worth doing business with!! Thanks for a great experience!!

I came to Nathan's to learn how to drive in the USA. I had never driven here before, and had almost not driven at all before coming here. Paul was friendly and an excellent teacher. I passed the road test with ease thanks to his instruction. Recommend it.

Great everything; very accommodating. These people really seem to care about the driver's safety. Dan is a wonderful instructor with great patience. Lucille is likewise very understanding goes above and beyond. Great to have an alternative to the other main player in the business who overbooks and doesn't have flexibility in scheduling driving lessons.

I highly suggest no student schedules Bob for an appointment. Before we even got onto the road, he picked a fight with one of the teachers who kindly said (let’s not yell in front of the students). At this he got out (yes) GOT OUT of the car and started yelling at the instructor to “fight right now.” The other student and I were clearly embarrassed. I was shocked that this was the behavior of an instructor at a driving school RIGHT before a student takes their test. Knowing some of the other instructors, I believe any other instructor is a better option than him. If you get Bob, good luck.. Nathan's Driving school is great depending on who you test with, who will not stress you out.

The staff at Nathan's are extremely professional and pleasant. I took 10 hours of lessons from the instructor Mr. Tom Madaus and he is the BEST!. He is patient, pleasant and appreciated every single thing I did right during my training sessions. He is not only a good instructor but a great motivator. I have heard from my friends about all the yelling from their instructor at other driving schools and was bit anxious during my first class. But he put me completely at ease and taught from the very basic stuff. I took my road test today and though I know I would definitely pass, I not only just passed but passed with 100!!!. The road test official told me that I really did good. I even have the picture of the report. Thanks Nathan's and thank you so much, Tom Madaus!! I really appreciate it.

It was a really great experience. I learned a lot and even though the hours may be long it's really worth it. My instructor, Ms. Sabrina, did a terrific job in informing us the do's and don't of the road.

Nathan's Driving School is a pioneer in keeping the roads in Georgia safe. They are great are great at what they do because they love teaching and have a genuine concern for the safety of our motorists. If you reside anywhere in the metro Atlanta area, Nathan's should be your Atlanta driving school of choice.

Just a few day's ago I attended Defensive Driving Course at Nathan's Driving School @Chamblee. Right from from signing up for the class to actually attending it, I had a very good experience. Excellent customer service & very professionally conducted class. Our instructor, Bob was awesome. He conducted the class in a very engaging & informative manner. We did not even realize where the 6 hours flew by. I would highly recommend taking Bob's class.

I would like to first and foremost state that this experience happened to me three and a half years ago, so maybe this guy somehow completely changed. It's taken me this long to write this review because my family has been on the fence about returning to Nathan's, because every other instructor/employee we met has been incredibly kind and patient. But I see that this certain instructor still works here according to the staff page on the website, so I feel like I should share my story. Bob, for me, was the worst instructor imaginable. He would scream at me over the tiniest mistakes. For example, he once continuously screamed at me for 5-10 minutes WHILE I was driving in rush hour traffic because I didn't return to the common speed as fast as I should have after a red light. He yelled at me for 30 minutes on my first day because I held the wheel wrong once, telling me how "stupid" I was. He constantly acted like each mistake I made was somehow a personal attack on him. He would say very derogatory things against me, and he would occasionally do things to prove how strong he was in case I "tried anything." I NEVER back-talked him. I always followed his instructions to the best of my abilities as a new driver. I never questioned his instructions, methods, etc. I never did anything to provoke such behavior. I always did my best to be a good student so his verbal abuse would stop, but it never did. Bob never cared that him screaming at me only took away from my focus on driving. Bob never cared that his derogatory remarks hurt me. I constantly felt incredibly unsafe in the car with him. After several weeks of lessons, I finally told my parents what was happening. They requested a new instructor for my final lesson, and the new instructor (Dan I believe?), was very nice, patient, and informative. He was everything I would've preferred in an instructor. I learned much more in my one lesson with him than I did in a few weeks with Bob. We were going to do more lessons with Nathan's, as I still needed to learn how to drive on the highway, but my family felt very uncomfortable giving more money to the company that signs Bob's pay checks. Bob did teach me a neat method on how to parallel park, but everything else with him was absolutely horrible. If you decide to chose Nathan's as your driving school, I highly recommend requesting any instructor that isn't Bob, unless you're totally fine being screamed at continuously whilst trying to learn an important life skill, based on my experience anyways.

Today I completed the Defensive Driving Course at Nathan's and it was overall a pleasant experience. Originally I was worried about having to spend 6 hours in a classroom with strangers and a teacher who would just bore on and on about driving safely but our instructor, Bob, made the class much more engaging. This man is probably one of the most well-rounded people I have met in my life. The way he taught encouraged participation, which I am normally not especially fond of at all, but helped me learn and recognize what I still need to work on. He is real with you and a quote from him about airbags deploying and our organs hitting our skeletal structures "We are captives of our own biology." will stick with me along with the memory of this man who educated me and provided advice for an upcoming court date. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take a DDC; the time goes by quickly and the way things are taught makes the final exam extremely easy. Another special thanks to Bob for making my experience with Nathan's exponentially better!
