Review introduction (7)

The girls' dormitory is a double room,
Currently it is being used by one person and is spacious.
Sheets, pillowcases, etc. can be changed once you receive your provisional license. If you are concerned about this, you will have to wash them yourself.
In addition, each room has its own lock, making it very safe.
There was one trash can in the room, but you have to separate trash properly, so it's useful to bring plastic bags with you.
The bathroom, toilet, and washing machine are shared, but they are cleaned every day.
Of course there is no hair dryer, laundry detergent, shampoo etc so it is best to bring your own, otherwise you can purchase them at the nearby Donki.
The sound is quite loud. You might want to be careful when you are talking on the phone or drying your hair.
The food in the restaurant
As other reviewers have said, the food was sometimes too light and sometimes too strong, but I liked it because it had the warmth of someone making it for me. They also offer an adjustable amount of rice.
There are days when I have fried food and meat for breakfast, so the menu is a must-see. If you are not full, it is better to buy food at the convenience store nearby (just a 5-minute walk).
In other people's reviews,
The two women in front of the cafeteria are probably the dorm supervisors. As long as you follow the rules of the dorm, they are very kind and will listen to you sympathetically. They are wonderful people who support all the dorm residents.
The lessons are
Since it was a training camp course, it felt like it was packed with stuff. If you don't pass the effectiveness test in that limited time, your lessons may not progress, so if the timing is right, go to the special course and ask anything you don't understand.
Regarding the instructors,
Most of the people were kind, although some were a little overbearing. If I asked about something I didn't understand, they would answer even the most basic questions (after I had started the second level of training) without a word of complaint.
I didn't encounter anyone who clicked their tongues or threw their feet up, so I can't really say, but I've heard rumors that they change how they treat students depending on the results of their aptitude tests, so you might have to just accept that it's the guidance you need and bear with it...
The receptionist,
On the phone, most people tend to be pretty dry,
If I had any questions I asked they would answer them properly so I didn't find it particularly unpleasant.
Driving a car is scary, but it's fun once you get the hang of it. Good luck to those who are driving now and those who are planning to drive in the future!

The facilities and atmosphere of the dorm were good.
There is a bathtub where you can soak, and there is also a washing machine and dryer.
I also appreciate the daily cleaning.
The food is also delicious and homemade by the staff.
The receptionists and office staff also offer to help you if you have any problems.
They will respond appropriately.
I have to be on time for morning and evening roll calls.
There are many rules, such as no smoking and no drinking.
If you are learning at high speed, your schedule will be more packed than you think.
You will also need time to study
If you try to create a proper rhythm in your life,
I think you'll get used to it naturally in a few days.
The skill instructors
Once you start learning it, I think you'll find that you have a good affinity with it.
I think that students may feel differently depending on gender.
Each instructor has their own way of teaching.
If you have any questions about the teaching method, ask someone you feel comfortable asking.
It's like learning how to drive in a way that you think is correct.
To be honest, I think there are times when people say things in a harsh way.
As you can see from the reviews, there are many different types of people.
In that case, there will be a questionnaire after the course.
I think you should write or talk about it.
If you want to choose your instructor, there seems to be a nomination system in place.
I had a hard time getting used to the environment for the first few days.
To be honest, I was worried about communicating with the people I was being taught.
If you don't like it, that's it.
If you overcome that and keep going
The instructors were just like us.
I work while being bothered by the students.
I try to treat them with consideration, thinking of them as being in the same position.
I think it's a good idea to find someone you feel comfortable talking to and ask them questions.
In the second half
I care about my students and want them to pass the exam.
Because I want to be able to drive safely.
So I want people to remember it properly.
I understand that they are giving strict guidance.
Some people find it hard to understand that idea
Most of the people who teach are enthusiastic.
I probably don't get much praise, but
The person who was in charge of assessing me before my final driving test
" Because he has a strong attitude of trying his best to study his subjects seriously.
It's okay, just do your best."
"I was so touched when he finally called out to me.
Also, the examiner for my full driving license was wonderful.
The way he gave me a gentle nudge to ease my tension
I am truly grateful.
If you listen carefully to the theory course, some of the material will appear on the exam.
I think you don't have to worry because they will explain everything clearly.
Because different instructors use different expressions
It might be fun to listen to it (laughs).
When you want to study on your own, there is a place on the second floor where you can study for tests to measure effectiveness.
You can also use a PC, so it's quiet and easy to study.
There are two instructors who help me study from the afternoon until the evening.
They teach me very enthusiastically, so it's better than worrying about it alone.
If you go early and ask lots of questions, they will teach you as much as you want.
There are a few small tests
If you do not pass, you will not be able to attend classes and the test will be delayed.
Therefore, we recommend that you consult early as it will be the quickest route.
I highly recommend this school because the teachers are very easy to understand, have a wealth of knowledge, and provide honest, supportive instruction.
I was feeling anxious about my studies, but now I feel relieved.
When the instructor on the second floor was not there, I would ask the office staff for advice and study.
I am grateful to some of the veteran instructors who taught me and encouraged me.
When he got his provisional license, he said, "I'm happy just to see his happy face."
I was moved when you said that.
After that, I started to become friends with the people in the dorm who entered at the same time.
I think it's great because you can exchange information, it's very helpful and it's fun.
I truly believe that I was able to pass the exam with the help of many people.
However, you will meet many different people, and I think there will be some tough times.
I think you'll be able to get through it if you make friends and have them listen to your worries.
Driving for the first time is really scary
There are so many things I don't know what to do
Most instructors don't teach you that well,
I think that's just how it is.
Even if you blame others, the difficult situation will not change.
Think of it as a lesson in society and look forward.
No matter where you live, everything changes depending on how you perceive it.
Try to think of it as a good opportunity to learn about who you are and do your best.
If you smile and work hard, people around you will support you.
I think if you start to feel grateful, you will find more room to maneuver.
It's not just me, everyone is living the same way
Driving with a considerate attitude is less likely to lead to accidents.
You can also learn important things like that.
When it's all over
You will gain a sense of accomplishment and confidence, so learn to love the person you have grown into.
For those of you who will be attending driving school in the future
And I wanted to give my honest impressions to everyone at the driving school.
I have written it.
lastly
I work at Gyoda Driving School.
Reception staff, office staff, security guards, cafeteria staff
Skill and academic instructors, company representatives
A wonderful area in Saitama with rice fields and lots of greenery
Thank you very much for your help.
Thanks to everyone, I was able to learn and see it through to the end.
I will never forget it as an important part of my life.
Since I wasn't able to meet you all in person and say hello,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude.
Thank you very much.
Please stay healthy. We are rooting for you.
With love and gratitude.

I was in a room with four other people, and we were all the same age, so it felt like we were living in a shared house, and it was a lot of fun. It's true that there isn't much around, so there are limited free time slots, but that meant I, who don't study much, was able to focus on studying for the effectiveness test. (Before the provisional license test, a McDonald's opened nearby and I went there a lot, and the night before I was reading manga on my phone, so I failed the first test.) Reading everyone's reviews, I feel that the training camp is more favorable than the commuter.
This is because they will plan trips that include useful deals such as a cake buffet or hot springs.
A cake buffet is held twice a month as a service for the campers! It was very popular not only with women, but also with men who love sweets. There are many cakes lined up, so you can eat as much as you like.
Located about 15 minutes away by shuttle bus, "Natural Hot Spring Shigemi no Yu" is a rare hot spring that is the only pure sodium bicarbonate spring in Saitama Prefecture. You can enjoy a variety of baths, including an open-air bath, a tub bath, a cave bath, and a sauna.
Also, since you get close to the instructors and receptionists, I never felt that they treated me badly, except for one of the instructors!
In fact, there are many people who I would like to meet again lol (my friend took a photo with the handsome older instructor on her last day of lesson). During the final exam, he asked me "Why didn't you do this?" and I thought I had failed, so I got angry and acted rebellious, but still, thank you for helping me pass.
I am still driving without any accidents or violations. I was able to get 98 points on the actual test, which I believe is the result of solving problems on the computer almost every day.
Oh, I can use something called "MUSASI" on my computer to solve the true or false questions for the effectiveness assessment, and if I get something wrong it's printed out in color with an illustration, so I make far fewer mistakes the next time I do it, and it's really helpful because I can see with my own eyes what my weak points are.

The dormitory was clean and the food was delicious, so I had no complaints.
The instructors were very kind and I was able to graduate smoothly.
I personally would recommend it.

I think this is a driving school where parents can feel at ease and leave their children.

All the teachers were nice, regardless of age. Even if I couldn't do something, they all explained it to me in detail. The reception staff also explained anything I didn't understand.
I also took advantage of the special classes twice to prepare for the written test and to receive detailed instruction from two young teachers. I was able to get a perfect score on the written test for my provisional license.
To be honest, I didn't really like the food in the dormitory, but it's fine to eat. There are Don Quijote, fast food restaurants, and Chinese restaurants nearby, so if you can't stand the food in the dormitory, you can always eat out (although it costs money).
As for the facilities in the men's dormitory, there are no problems for living there. I think it's only natural that I expect the facilities to be comfortable, since I'm here to get my driver's license. However, there is air conditioning, electricity, and a TV. The toilet and shower room are shared, but I was able to use them comfortably without any problems. There was also a shared washing machine.
Finally, I think that there are people who are considering this driving school in the future and are worried about enrolling because of other people's reviews, but to be honest, it depends on the person, but there are no particular problems with this driving school. I think it was a very good driving school.
There are reviews saying that there are teachers who are stern or unfriendly, but I think that may be because they are told that if you cannot do it many times. However, that means that in the future, if you have someone in the passenger seat and an accident occurs, you will be responsible. I think there are teachers who will sternly tell you if you cannot remember the parts of safe driving and memorization, including such situations.
I was once given the number of a place to turn within the driving school, but I turned at the wrong place and was scolded by an older teacher who asked me, "Are you listening to me?" However, since then, if I am careful and do the bare minimum, such as asking in advance when I don't know where to turn, I think I will be able to pass Driving Test with ease.
The reception staff are also kind. There are reviews saying that the receptionists were unfriendly or had bad service, but they are human beings too. Please be lenient with that. If you ask casually, they will explain things properly. I think that road lessons are scary the first time, but if you can get along with each teacher, you will feel much more at ease the next time you do it again. If you are worried, one tip is to get to know your teacher by asking questions and making small talk as much as possible while driving. (If you don't want to talk to your teacher, there's no need to force yourself. But make sure to respond properly.)
I hope this review will be helpful to those considering enrolling in our school.
Best of luck!
