This class was fairly easy to pass, my driver Zack was excellent. He was extremely patient with me and always made sure I got the practice I needed. You guys should give him a raise! He’s amazing and we had great conversations.
I had a great experience with Yost Driving School. As a non-native to America, I was a bit nervous about the driving rules and test process, but my instructor was very patient, professional, and supportive. They explained everything clearly and helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to get my driving license smoothly. I highly recommend Yost Driving School to anyone, especially international or non-native drivers.
We loved our experience. Our son felt confident after taking the class and driving with Daniel. 10 out of 10 would you recommend them. We will be back next year with another!
I started my journey with Youth Driving School around February. It took me a while to begin my driving hours because of medical challenges like epilepsy—I had to get my vision checked and paperwork sorted first. Communication was a little slow at the beginning, and I had to figure some things out on my own. But once I reached out, the staff always called me back and answered every question I had. They never left me hanging. This month, I finally got to start driving, and I was paired with Mark Gale. Mark is the kind of instructor you hope to get—calm, patient, and professional. He made me feel comfortable from the start. Even when I messed up, he never raised his voice or made me feel bad. He took his time explaining everything I needed to know and made sure I understood it. I’d 100% recommend asking for Mark if you want someone who’s going to treat you with respect and help you grow. The class itself was fast, simple, and easy to follow. You learn a lot without feeling overwhelmed. They’re patient with you, and even though I’m not really a “free food” kind of guy, yes—you do get free food. That’s a nice touch. No matter your age, Youth Driving School is not a waste of time. It’s truly beneficial. I’ve got siblings, and they’ll be attending here too. I’m grateful to this school for helping me do something I didn’t think was possible. From fear to freedom—one mile at a time.
My experience with Yost, I am a single handicap mom off three. Spin a little over a year and I was super excited about getting my driver's license. You see my mom never learned how to drive, that was my goal and dream. To be able to get into a car and take my children places. So I scraped up the $470 it took to pay for the class. I was very excited that I passed the written, and was able to start. My driver was Greg, he was an older gentleman nice man. My first day was very difficult, not because of me not wanting to drive, but because in the transitional home where I was living there was a neighbor who saw me trying to learn how to drive and she asked me if it was me or my daughter and I said it was me, she laughed. I'm a woman who prays so I asked Grand do you pray I said please pray for me because I'm really feeling. Now we did the first day, and I did okay I really did He even said I did okay The problem was that the gentleman never explained to me the difference between a right and a left turn. That the right turns a little more difficult because they were closer to the curb. And I went over the curb, I'll be honest twice. Nothing major, but after what had happened prior my confidence was shaken. It'd been several months before I went ahead and tried it again. I was in and out of the hospital during the months that I wasn't able to do it, I developed something called charcoal footwear with my bones deteriorated, but luckily it was on my left side so I could drive with my right. So he came to pick me up, and I must have shook them up because when he came to pick me up he said are you sure you could do this, he made me feel like I wasn't able to do this and I had told God in myself, my mom in heaven I could do this. My kids were so proud, and excited because Mama was going to learn how to drive. The man picked me up to the time we were in the car he just kept discouraging me. We did go however on our drive and I think I did okay he said I did add two more hours left. And I had to hurry up and finish these lessons because it had been a year since my permit was approved. Well that morning I had been listening to church and I just felt like I had to tell this man look, I don't think you believe that I could do this. He said well it's not that I don't believe that you could do it but you know maybe not everybody's supposed to drive. That's my dream is to drive I want to take my kids somewhere to do something, too take my kids to the library let my son always ask me. Well I told him and it was hard and I was nice and I said maybe I should go ahead and ask for another driver because I feel the energy that you have in the anxiety that you don't believe in me and that makes me feel like, I need somebody else. So I called them and explain to them, and I even explained in kind of was proud that I had been watching YouTube shows and trying to learn all the stuff that I needed to help me for the next drive. I believe that I offended them because I did say that there was something that I learned on YouTube that I did not learn from them. They question yes to what and I explain to them. And I told them that this really means a lot to me and my family. Mind you I had about a month before my permit would expire and I wasn't able to complete my driving thing. how to drive in this was her break in the cycle and I wanted to be next. So I kept calling and they kept saying they would send somebody and they never did and finally, it's too late. I can no longer do it because my permit has expired. But I'm sitting here with my son he's like mama or haven't they called you for the driving lesson, I believe in you I haven't they called you, to be honest I don't know why. I was never rude and I never meant to be offensive I just wanted somebody who believed in me. Anyways I have to count it as a lost 470, and nobody ever called me even though they said they would. I'm very disappointed in them and I feel like I gave away free money, money that I don't have because I'm on SSI.The truth is this was my last chance. God bless signed Heartbroken
