Tom's Auto Driving School 1212 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06878

"Tom was verbally abusive, even at one point making me pull over just to yell at me for asking if I should honk in a scenario. Completely ruined my driving experience for months afterwards as I expected a violent reaction at any mistake. If you want to take a test with a corrupt dmv official and leave your child as a worse driver and emotionally traumatized, Toms driving school is the place to be!"

"Took classes with Tom and he gets mad very easily at the smallest errors and constantly degrades me while i’m driving and it made me uncomfortable. I keep making mistakes out of being nervous of his anger and he continues to get even more mad, and it’s really scary for a new driver. Linda was also the same way and gave me the worst attitude while I was driving and gets triggered very easily. I hope both of them can get help for the unprofessional behavior. I only took 3 classes here a few weeks back and then started classes in Norwalk and am much happier. Do not send your child here unless you want them holding back tears."

"Tom was dangerously impatient and unkind. When asked for patience and clearer instructions, he screamed at my disabled child, saying people like that shouldn't be driving. Missing social cues doesn't make a bad driver, but a teacher who refuses to be flexible or give clear instructions will discourage vulnerable kids from pushing themselves to be independent and learn. The burden lies on the teacher to be professional and understanding, and to TEACH. I was deeply disturbed by the treatment & the way driving lessons were given, with no real structure or guidance. Trial by fire is a horrible way to teach!! Tom presents a serious danger to young drivers!"

"Absolutely horrible. Went to learn to drive and Tom is just flat out awful. He is so impatient which is not okay for a new driver. He is very irritable and easily set off by little mistakes and rather by trying to get the student to learn from it he screams at them. I should not be told I won’t pass my test by the instructor and that I’m a horrible driver because I go to fast into a turn. A new driver needs to LEARN from their mistakes rather being verbally abused. I can whole heartedly say I learned nothing with Tom and he genuinely traumatized me. Please do not send your kids here. He is very very rude. He makes me and a ton of other people I know incredibly uncomfortable. Touching a teenage girls thigh and caressing their arm is not appropriate and nor is the yelling and verbal abuse. Learning to drive is very stressful and very important for the driver and those on the road. DO NOT go to Tom’s if you want a good confident driver."

"Toms Driving School was amazing in helping me prepare for my driving test. We bought the package of 4 lessons that included the driving test at toms and 8 hr online class. Linda and Tom are both so nice and will teach you everything you need to know for your exam!"
