I’m so happy I decided to go with this driving school. Jean was my instructor and I took about 6 lessons with him. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and clear with his instructions. He was also very nice which put my mind at ease. He gave me really good tips for the road test, as well as everyday driving. I passed my road test on the first try. Highly recommend!!!

Chiniel is a wonderful instructor. He made me feel confident on the road. I had bad experiences in previous driving schools. I was able to pass my road test today because of all what he taught me. I highly recommend Chiniel for adults who need to get their license because he is super patient. I also recommend him to anyone who is wants to get their drivers license.

Heres why I think Universe Driving School (specifically Jean) excels versus other driving schools:1. Cost BreakdownIts easy to spend $80/lesson (or more) at other driving schools where each lesson is between 30 minutes to an hour. Universe Driving school offers a 10 lesson package at $38/lesson where each lesson is one-hour. Thats phenomenal pricing in the MA area!2. Phenomenal InstructorIf you call up Universe Driving School, ask for Jean. Hes not only knowledgeable and great at articulating what needs to be done depending on the scenario, but he really cares about his students. He not only cared about me passing the test, but he cared about how I would drive on the road thereafter. When scheduling lessons hes pretty flexible. He was able to schedule lessons as late as 8pm or as early as 8am depending on my work schedule. Hes also incredibly patient and diffuses a negative or stressful situation with humor, something thats really helpful when youre first starting out behind the wheel.3. Quality LessonsJean shows you all of the basic maneuvers in the first few lessons. You learn how to do a three point turn, reverse, park, parallel park, left turns, etc. Once you get out of the comfy neighborhood streets, hell reiterate these fundamentals in the city streets--where a lot of the close action happens. Furthermore hell take you where most schools wont--THE HIGHWAY!!! That means operating the vehicle at speeds upwards of 65, merging into oncoming traffic, entering/exiting, what lane to drive in depending on your destination, etc. And youll continue to practice on the highways until youre comfortable and able to react appropriately given the situation.Given the fact that youre getting high quality lessons at extremely affordable prices compared to other driving schools in the area, I think this school is one of the best choices in MA. I got my license today (first try ever) and wouldnt have been able to do it without Jeans guidance. Mahalo, Jean!

Review №19

I can’t believe all these positive reviews are from real people who actually went to this school. Chiniel is one of the most unprofessional driving instructors you can have. He’s very lazy, always on his phone and giving you the worst attitude when you make a mistake. Don’t waste your money at this school and don’t let the fake positive reviews fool you!

Very unprofessional business. Instructor stays on phone and just makes ppl drive in a straight line. No compromise with appointments whatsoever, always late and uses the time paid to give rides to people. No feedback on anything and no instructions on anything. Waste of money to be honest

Chiniel is a great instructor. He has the patience and technique to teach the right things for driving in Greater boston area. He made the effort to work on my weak spots by making me practice them again and again which made me pass my test in the first attempt. Highly recommended.

Just needed a few lessons to get my US driver’s license and Gene (I hope I spell it right!) was able to show me everything I needed to know about road tests here in the US in only two lessons. I’m also so grateful he was able te schedule a last minute lesson right before my road test. And I passed! Thank you!

Universe driving school really lives up to the online reviews. The instructor is professional, patient, and very thorough. They make sure to communicate everything that you may need to work on and make sure that you are ready to pass your driving test. Best driving school in the North Shore, I highly recommend taking lessons and the exam with them.

Review №27

Jean is a terrible instructor. He doesn’t reply to set up lessons and he shows up to appointments sick. He sets up road tests before people are ready and then asks for money when you fail. Doesn’t show you proper driving skills and over books himself to make the most profit. Would not recommend.

Review №30

The instructor I got was not very professional like at all. He said he needed to get his car fixed so I waited but he never messaged or called me back to give me an estimated time on when can we schedule my next driving lesson. During the lessons I got, he was always on the phone talking, doesn’t give advice. I expected this part since driving takes practice and depends on whether the driver can grasp the concept of driving and controlling the wheel, but the instructor I got never gave tips/advices on my driving. I can’t tell if my driving can pass my road test or not.I’m also aware that not all instructors are like this, but this is my review on the instructor I got from this driving school.

Review №31

He really knows what he is teaching you. You dont have to figured out on your own. He has a technique for every thing that you need to know to pass the road and to be confident about yourself. This guy has the secret of the wheel. Try him youll see.

Review №35

1/20/21: Awful experience--I have never interacted with a more unprofessional business. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS SCHOOL. First, the instructor is obviously sexist, with a preference toward female drivers. During my session, the instructor was on the phone arguing with someone 95% of the time---literally did not address me or my needs for nearly all of the session. He had another student driver in the back and had me drive to her house, drop her off and then drive back to the school. After this experience, I went to another school and went to take 10 classes with them.At this point, I was experienced and felt confident to take the road test. Unfortunately, due to COVID and the holidays, my new school was unable to schedule a road test in the coming weeks (we were looking at a month+). As such, hesitantly, I decided to call the only other school I interacted with (Universe Driving School) and requested a road test.On test day, I was told to come at 8AM, and when I did, I saw 17 other students there waiting for their road test. I waited outside in the freezing cold for 2.5 hours (literally did not start my test until 10:30AM--mind you, I was there at 8AM).Throughout the hours, I saw student after student-driver return from their test within 8 minutes with a sad expression, sharing news that they failed. In fact, the more we waited, the higher number of students that failed the test. Finally, when it came time for my turn, the RMV personnel took a smoke break and went to smoke for at least 5-7 minutes. At this point, my feet and arms were frozen, my skin red because of the extended exposure to the cold (I actually later developed hypothermia because of the wait).Still, I was ready to take my test. When I entered, the RMV guy smelled like smoke and he was very rude. Immediately I noticed a fake sense of grandeur from this guy--he later suggested he had discretion to fail anybody. Before I started, I needed to stay still in the car to unfreeze, as I was still completely frozen and my feet hurt because of it. However, the instructor rushed me and disregarded my physical state. We then went on to drive. Because I was still cold, I had to adjust the amount of pressure I put on the gas and brake--in doing so, I started going slowly to properly adjust.However, the instructor took this as an inability to drive at a reasonable rate per hour (even after I indicated that I was still frozen from waiting 2.5 hours). He didnt care. We then drove toward a stop sign, at which point I made a brief stop, checked my sides to ensure there wasnt ongoing traffic, and then moved forward. This all happened very fast (as any experienced driver knows can often feel that way). However, the RMV guy said I didnt stop and decided to conclude the test because of it. He gave me a fail and went on to argue with me about what he claimed I didnt do (despite my insisting that I did stop).Finally, I asked the instructor what he suggested I practice on--apart from what he claims I didnt do. He refused to provide feedback, and I ultimately left upset, realizing that the instructor truly didnt care about student feelings. This was such a horrible and disgusting experience and Im beyond appalled. All of this, and the school still charged me $170 for everything (even though I informed them that I paid for the road test directly with the RMV and should only pay the difference with the driving school--which they refused to look into ). This school only cares about money and everyone associated with them is a terrible worker. I dont recommend anyone to come to this school or to take the RMV test here.Im launching a complaint with the RMV as well to look into the RMV personnel as, in light of the rules of conduct on the website, he clearly violated a number of them. I encourage everyone with a terrible experience with this school and the RMV personnel to do the same (the school refused to share his name--white skinny tall dude, smells like smoke).

I had taken my lessons from chinel and i gotta say he taught me well on how to drive. He is informative on how to drive and goes step by step in order for you to drive safely and at ease. I had also took my road test with him and i was able to pass it. The price of taking the lesson and test is cheap and good. If you go with him you do just fine. Overall i liked it.

Review №41

Terrible experience. I paid for 10 classes and in the end I got 7. Only the first class was in the afternoon and the rest were at night, even though I told the instructor that I start working at 5 am. He was making calls and receiving text messages most of he time. After the first 5 classes he scheduled the road test (I spent more than a month without receiving classes) he promised to give me the last 5 classes before the road test and he only gave me 2 !!! I failed the test, and since October 14th I have contacted him to get my last 3 classes and nothing !!!!

Universe Driving is one of the best driving schools. They have really helpful instructors that do their best to make sure you pass your road test. I had Chanel as my instructor and he was the best! He taught me everything I needed to know and had the best attitude throughout the entire time. He makes you feel very comfortable and by the end of your lessons, you will feel very confident driving. I drove with Rick once and he was also very helpful, he talked in a calming tone and made everything feel comfortable as well. I strongly suggest this driving school especially if you’re a beginner.

He’s kind and reassuring and will make you feel Beth prepared for the test. Thank you for everything!!
