Dominga is an incredible teacher. I started the 6 hour BTW adult course with 0 experience and a deep-seated fear of driving in any capacity. We broke the course up into four 1.5 hour sessions (one lesson a day). After just 2 of the lessons, I was confident and skilled enough to drive from Michigan to Chicago in the pouring rain! Dominga keeps you keen on everything that you should be watching out for while driving -- she trains you to be a defensive, safe, advanced driver. She is patient, re-assuring, and there to answer any questions you have. If you want to practice a certain skill (changing lanes was my weakness), she makes time during your lessons to practice that skill until you are confident. I cannot recommend Dominga enough. She was always early or on time to our lessons, and it was nice to learn how to drive on a Hybrid :) Big thanks to Dominga and Vickie for allowing me to hone this life-changing skill!

Nadiya Bovan

Awesome school to learn to drive or even just brush up on a few skills. I had Mike as an instructor, but I'm sure anyone they assign you to will be great. Mike was very helpful and thorough when instructing me. He lightens the mood to make you feel calm when you first get in the car, he's very funny, and also a talented driving teacher. He will make sure you're taken care of! WORTH THE MONEY!!!

The 6 hour course covered everything I needed to know for the written exam, and was able to get my certificate fast. It's also much more affordable than any other driving school.

Chelsey Mason

I had a great experience, forgot the woman name that help set everything up. But the driver was nice as well. Definitely recommend! And they’re very affordable

Vickie Simmons

I am 44 and finally I decided to get my license... Andy and Randy were my teachers and they both taught me the defensive and Offensive skills necessary to become a good driver. It took me 6 lessons and then I was able to pass the road test on the first try. I recommend the road test package because it helps to prepare you for the expectations of the SOS examiner. Thanks Andy and Randy for helping me to be a better driver. I did it

I had Dominga, she was very rude and made me feel uncomfortable despite it only being my 3rd time driving. Didn’t even go to the last session.

Please stay off the road during rush hour if you’re going to have your students drive 15 mph below the traffic flow and speed limit. I’ve seen on multiple occasions the driving instructor flipping other drivers off when they deservedly get honked at for holding up traffic. Unprofessional and incompetent.

Illinois Driving School is the best school, I have known. They will teach everything there is to know about driving and its a friendly atmosphere too and one more thing, they will tell and show u the exact rout and what to expect during the day of the road test.

My teacher Randy was amazing,very educational,still learned so much even being an experienced driver. Passed my final first try,and they're very flexible around your schedule,definitely one of the best learning experiences ive ever had.

Victor Elting

Randy is a very good instructor. He knows exactly how to appeal to the students and make them understand the sometimes difficult concepts. 10/10

Fabiola Berra

I am so disappointed with this school. I read the amazing reviews and went to their website and it looked exactly what i was looking for so I called them. The person who answered the phone (a girl) told me that the teacher was going to call me back to schedule the first class. I waited 3 days and nobody called me back. I called again and the same thing happened. Anyway after calling 3 times i got finally a guy to schedule my first class, he was supposed to pick me up last Saturday at 9 am. I waited all morning and nobody showed up, they didnt even bother to call me to reschedule. At this point I am tired of calling them, they are only wasting my time. I understand things happen but at least let me know so i can find somebody else.

I enjoyed my experience with this driving school. My instructor was Dominga and she was amazing. She really helped me stay calm and be confident in my driving. The most important thing to do is pay for as many lessons as YOU think YOU need. I highly recommend Dominga, you can't go wrong with her.

Frances Cruz

Ted Glowacki is an amazing instructor. He was very patient with my elderly mother. He was always on time, never cancelled, and was ecstatic when she received her license today! We highly recommend him! Thanks Ted! - Adel

This school is not very flexible with the Average 9-5 work schedule. Had to take lessons driving to work at 7:30 am to get there for 9:00 am would have preferred after 3:00 pm they hardly have availability for the days you want you have to accommodate their schedule ! I was not given enough instructions such as turning and merging or parking I think they are good at observing your driving but not instructing ! Didn’t learn much here had to ask to work on my turning and merging lanes on my 4th class I would have thought they would have had a lesson plan on what to teach at each stage of driving.Dominga was nice but I didn’t learn enough from her and took I believe 6 plus hours of instructions. Only recommend school if you already have your license! And need to just get a little additional practice or got a driving violation .Not good for first time drivers!

Jeanine Pagan

This is the best drivers school by far I sent my 16 year old and this school really exceeded our expectations!!! We appreciate everything you did to help our girl be comfortable on the road and highway! Amazing!!!!

Danielle Correa

I absolutely loved this school and I got my license after the first 6hour package! My instructor was Dominga. I read reviews for this school prior to me being assigned to her and I have to say, she is NOT rude at all, she’s very accommodating, and a very detailed instructor. Scheduling was very easy with her. As far as the lessons go, she’s very up front and tells you what you’ve done wrong, but also what you’ve done right, exactly what a good instructor should be doing. She speaks with a calm tone, and gave me very valuable information that I haven’t gotten from trying to learn to drive in the past. I have anxiety and she’s the only person to make me feel completely comfortable behind the wheel, not to mention, she is pretty funny(an added perk for me)! I highly recommend this driving school and especially Dominga. I am glad I picked this school and especially grateful to have gotten a wonderful driving instructor!

Jordan Peyer

After sending my wife to a failed school (will not mention), i sent her to this school. This school was slightly better, the instructor seemed a bit Iffy. I also don't recommend this school. I guess I shouldn't be looking for discounted schools.. My fault.

Alexandru Mociran

I had a great experience at Illinois Driving School! My instructor was Randy. He is an awesome and detailed driving instructor. He is very kind, patient and fun! I really enjoyed the time spent in class and also, the driving. I highly recommend this driving school!

Aselchik Ohara

It is not good service, not professional school

Jann Aggabao

5 star is not enough to rate this driving school. IDS is the best school for new drivers. My deepest gratitude to Mr. Andy for teaching me safe driving and for boasting my confidence in driving. At first, i thought I can never drive but until then I realize that with a professional and knowledgeable instructor everything will be possible. I'm happy to say I got my license. I highly recommend this school you will never regret. -- Jann

I had Dominga. She was always a hour late for the lessons and my very last lesson, the she decided to come two hours early. I'm might not be the brightest or have a great memory but, I thought driving instructors will at least teach you how to hold and steer the wheel. When I went to turn the car, instead of her telling me I am turning the wheel wrong, she just started yanking the car wheel. And one area that she had me drive to had a very dirty street sign that they pointed to, and I couldn't find it. When I finally found the sign, (it was so dirty that it didn't look white to me) they made a smart ass statement that made me want to just quit the lesson altogether. I didn't pass the course, so theshe suggested to pay an additional $144 dollars to use another instructor's car. Maybe you all have better luck with this school than me, but I would only suggest this school as brush up the driving skills that you already have.

I am glad I picked this place to learn how to drive. I had Randy as an instructor. He was so funny and was very helpful, in the classroom and when driving. I would highly recommend.

Vivienne Lubbat

I had randy as my instructor. He was very helpful and build up my confidence in driving. He created a fun and informative environment for learning how to drive. I would definitely reccomend.

Nereida Guzman

I will not blame the school, but the teacher for trying to hit on my girlfriend. Teacher was doing his errands during my gf's lessons and even that he extended the time of the lesson I dont think is right. Also the morning my girlfriend got her license He invited her to have breakfast what I see very unprofessional unless those invitations are part of the package. The teacher was 30 min late 2 or 3 times and the last, but no the least, the calls one the evening after she got her license just to check how was she doing and the next day after she got the license another call. I mean really? Is that permitted? Very unprofessional!! Mike was her teacher.

Tatiana Lim
