Citizens Driving School South Side, Chicago

My instructor was Mike (driving instructor #4) and I had a great experience! His learning by doing technique truly set me up for success, even as a more hesitant driver, and I was able to pass my road test on the first try!

I got my license yesterday thanks to my instructor Michael & Citizen Driving School. I was extremely nervous about driving after my father passing away in a car accident. However, Mike taught me the tools I needed to learn to be a safe driver & confident. He told me what I needed to work on to avoid repeating habits. I am so thankful for Mike because what felt so impossible 2 years ago now is a goal accomplished. I definitely recommend this driving school and recommend taking instructor 4 (Mike). I took a total of 22 hours of driving and passed my road exam on the first attempt :). Today I did my first drive alone to target and it went well. I will be back to take the highway class. Thank you again Michael & Michelle

I already have a drivers license in another country, and I wanted to learn the US driving rules. I took two hours of driving with Citizens Driving School. They assign me instructor #4 (Mike). He gave me all the instructions and information I needed to pass the road test successfully. We used the same car on the road test day, and the same instructor was with me. This was very useful as he already knows all the details of the road test. He gives precisely enough...
Read full review information to pass the test, and no critical information is missing and no extra non-useful details that confuse the driver or the examiner. The school is very responsive and accurate in all the information. Mike can be too serious sometimes, but you will appreciate his advice and notes after you get your license.

Took classes with instructor 3 Leo Li and passed the road test at the 1st attempt. Leo was strict but reasonable, professional and extremely experienced. He not only prepares you well with the exam but also makes sure you know how to drive safely in real life. I would highly recommend instructor Leo.

Mike (Instructor 4) is great! When booking your lessons, be sure to request him. Hell ensure you not only pass your road test, but also become a skilled and confident driver.

I highly recommend Citizen Driving School and Instructor 4 Mike to anyone who wants to learn safe driving. This is a rare business that genuinely cares about students success and safety, beyond just passing the test. I got my drivers license today on my first attempt, and it took me only two weeks to complete the course. I went from being a complete beginner to a safe driver. Mike and Michelle were amazing support throughout my journey, and I felt so thankful to them that I cried after receiving...
Read full review my license. I had been too scared to drive for 10 years, and without Citizen Driving School, I would never have been able to become this confident and safe driver in such a short amount of time. Mike is the instructor you can trust, and if you follow his instructions, you WILL become a safe and confident driver. He is extremely detailed and experienced, watching and correcting every maneuver you need to make, unlike some of my previous experiences with other schools where the instructors just sat next to me in silence. Because driving is dangerous and just one mistake can cause serious injury or death, Mike will be tough on you to ensure you dont get into an accident. Just like parents who are harsh with their children when it comes to safety, he will show tough love, but in the end, you will know that he is a rare gem who actually cares and remembers the progress of every single student he has had. I feel so thankful that I had the opportunity to learn from Mike, and he laid the foundation for my safe driving. Michelle was supportive not only in administrative matters but also in encouraging and believing in me. I was extremely nervous, but she always told me I could do it and not to worry, providing many tips about the exam. She is an expert in scheduling and managing--she doesnt just schedule anything but strategically helps you plan your journey so that you learn driving in the most efficient timeline. This business deals with safety, so they dont babysit you but will show tough love, all to ensure you dont get into an accident and get hurt. It is not just a business; it is truly a school that helps you improve, and you will meet many amazing mentors here. I wish good luck to all the new drivers!

I had taken the classes with driver number 4, Mike and he is a great teacher. I was able to quickly learn and pass my driving test. He gave a lot of valuable insights which made me feel more confident in driving

Got my driving licence today and I would like to thank Michael, my instructor for the same. He provides you honest feedback on your driving skills and guides you about improving them. I would highly recommend Michael ( Instructor-4 ), for driving sessions.

Great driving school! My instructor Mike (driver 4) definitely gives tough love during class, but it pays off tenfold at the test!!

Great driving school with wonderful instructor and friendly staff. My instructor Mike is great. Learning driving with him was very satisfied experience. Not only did I got my licence but also I became confident in driving after the lessons. Would definitely recommend to others!
