Nathan's Driving School Inc

"This might be a little long so read at your own risk. I have a visual impairment and was told my entire life (until I was about 20) I would never be able to drive. When my doctor surprised me one day and told me I could but I would have to do a lot of practicing and take the drivers ed that the teens take AND buy an $1800 pair of driving glasses I was SO excited !! (And nervous.) I took the classes passed everything and was told all I needed to do was take the driving test. But I was still not confident in myself. Shortly after my father was killed in a car wreck and I completely gave up on driving I was just too scared. I went on with life. Actually lived abroad for a bit. And came back with newfound confidence to drive. So I signed up for some lessons. The woman (she was an older woman) was SO NASTY and RUDE. I tried explaining I haven’t driven in quite some time but she mocked me when I made mistakes and told me I would never be able to drive. I went home and cried for hours because I had worked so hard to build up the confidence to drive. I wanted to reach out today and let that nasty old lady know. (I cannot remember her name) that her nasty attitude fueled me to keep going and not give up and NOW I CAN drive ! And I do it daily. Thanks for nothing Nathan’s Driving School !"

"Paid for the drivers ed class that Nathan's offered through our kid's school. Tried to schedule driving time and usually ended up with voicemail only to be told the mailbox was full and we couldn't leave a message. On the rare occaision someone actually answered the phone we were told they didn't have any appointments available and to call back next month. Finally got an appointment, only to find out when I called to ask a question about it that the instructor we were scheduled to drive with no longer worked there, so we had to reschedule. We got that one scheduled, only to have to start the process over again calling and being told to call back next month to schedule the remaining two road sessions. Today they told us that it's been more than six months since we signed up, so we would have to pay extra if we want any on the road instruction. I would not use them. If your school offers the classroom sessions, don't bother with the road instruction. We learned our lesson and are using a competitor for my younger child."

"Would not recommend for several reasons, one of the main ones being one of the instructors falling asleep several times during the lesson, waking up suddenly and grabbing the steering wheel - on one occasion this happened on the freeway . The drivers' Ed class was full of rude and disrespectful teens - no surprise there however the teacher, although very nice, had zero classroom control over them. If you have a kid that has sensory (noise/chaos) issues, have them do the drivers' ed class virtually. The driving test person was dictatorial, patronizing, and belittling, both before, during, and after the test. My kid failed, they were not ready at all despite being told by the instructors that they were (so we're very glad they did, as they were in no way ready for Atlanta roads) and they came away from the test experience with a big loss of confidence and feeling humiliated and upset rather than really understanding why what went wrong. ☹️"

"This location has the worst office staff. My daughter finished 30 hours class time. They told us to call set up on the road lessons. I've been calling and no one answered the phone or returned messages. When you go into the office they like to pretend you're not standing there at the window. Just want what my 800 dollars paid for. They keep telling you to go online, but you cannot set anything up. If you could the would not be needed."

"My daughter just finished a week of virtual drivers ed and two out of three driving lessons. She got through the class and passed the test, even though the content is what it is- there are more interesting topics in life! Ha! She did mention there were some funny videos though. Ms Zaneta taught the driving lessons. She was a great instructor and communicator, both to me and to my daughter. My daughter feels a lot more confident on the road now. I’ll definitely use Nathan’s again w my younger child in 4 years."
