Ron is very patient and professional, especially with international students who have poor spoken English and no driving experience. Ron taught me from the level of a new beginner who couldn't even turn the steering wheel correctly. He encouraged me a lot and helped me understand every point I needed to be careful about on the road. I passed the driver's test within 25 days of Ron starting to teach me, which really saved me time.

Ron is a great driving instructor. He provided a safe and non-judgmental environment for lessons and was always warm, friendly and professional in his conduct. I passed my test on the first try thanks to him!

Ron is an amazing instructor. He knows how to calmly give instructions and points out what you need to work on in order to become a safe & defensive driver. As someone who hasn't driven before, I was able to pass my test within a month of starting my weekly driving lessons with him. He also understands the perspective & anxieties of international college students. Highly recommend!

After a few lessons with Ron, I was able to pass my test on the first try. Ron was experienced, professional, accommodating, and friendly. I felt comfortable learning with him, and he gave me lots of extremely useful advice during pretty much every lesson. He was also very obviously extremely experienced with both the roads in the local area, as well as the testing routes and practices used by the nearby driving examiners. I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone.

Thanks to Ron's excellent training, our daughter got her driver's license. At 28, she had become very fearful to learn to drive. Ron gave her the skills, the practice and most importantly the confidence to become a licensed driver. As an over 18 yr old driver, training with a non-family member was invaluable and actually taking the road test was like taking a driving lesson with Ron. Highly recommend!

Ron was by far the best driving instructor I have ever had. Learning to drive with him didn't feel like a formal, uptight lesson-- it felt like having a friend in the passenger seat. He is confident, attentive and professional, as well as very genuine. I passed my driver's exam on the first try thanks to his instruction, and I cannot recommend him enough as someone with bad anxiety and ADHD.

Ron has the patience and courage of a saint. He did what we, as our 22-year-old's parents, could never do, calmly instructing and encouraging our daughter. He was great, and she's now licensed! Yay! Thanks, Ron!

Ron is an incredible driving instructor. I’m 23 and was behind the wheel for the first time. I did about 15 hours of classes and learned SO much in such little time. Ron is super patient, helps you develop a strong defensive instinct on the road, and really gets you comfortable with all sorts of scenarios during his lessons. He’s also experienced getting students prepared for the road test in Ann Arbor so he’ll get students to drive the most frequently tested routes and help you ace the parking maneuvers. All in all, if you’re looking for an instructor in Ann Arbor, I cannot imagine anyone is better than Ron!

Ron was really accessible in these difficult times, you can contact him through voice message and expect to get called back. Ron works around your schedule and comes to pick you up for the lessons. He is really patient and the 55 bucks for an hour was worth it.

I was very scared to drive at first (not joking, seriously really scared / couldn't even turn left&right properly) but with his patient and encouraging instructions, I now feel comfortable driving. Even during this COVID era, he was very professional and taught me many techniques that others won't teach you. Also, passed the road test. Lastly, there's one bad review that says his personality is terrible but that is totally not right and that is not possible with his personality that I have seen while learning from him. I highly recommend learning from him.
