Great instructor, very nice and gave lots of tips.

Mr Noel Taught me how to park and curbside parking! He explained the lesson very well and i got down the parking!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear Noel's clear instruction helped you master parking and curbside parking. Congratulations on your progress, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him!
What made my experience great was my instructors, Vonnie and Georgette. Vonnie was very patient and she gave a lot of helpful tips that improved my driving skills. She also gave some insight on the DMV test so I could be prepared. Georgette showed me exactly what the DMV tester was looking for when I took the driving test. She helped me gain the confidence I needed to pass and gave helpful advice before my test. I would 100% recommend Coastline Academy to anyone learning how to drive.
Thank you, Jack! Vonnie and Georgette are wonderful. We're glad their guidance and tips helped you pass and gain confidence. We appreciate the recommendation!
Patrick is a great instructor, very calm and knowledgeable! He has put my son at ease! The scheduling process is also very easy. The whole experience, from classroom to driving lessons has been great. I would highly recommend Coastline!
Thanks for sharing this! We're glad Patrick made the experience smooth and comfortable for your son. We'll pass along your kind words to him.
Arnold was very patient and clear when I was making a mistake. I was under no stress and this is my first behind the wheel lesson ever.
We are grateful for sharing this, Neva. Arnold's patience made your first behind-the-wheel lesson a stress-free experience. Welcome to driving!

Yvette is absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful to have her as my teacher. She made me feel at ease, taught me everything I need to know about the road and driving. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much!
We are grateful for sharing this. Yvette's dedication to making you feel at ease and prepared is truly valued. Thank you, Kateryna!
Vyvyan is a wonderful instructor, I highly recommend them. Helped me build confidence behind the wheel by offering reassurance, useful tips, and firm yet gentle reminders of things to improve. Only thing that would lower my review is that signing up for a lesson was not as straight forward as it could've been, but I figured it out.
Thank you for sharing! We're glad Vyvyan helped build your confidence. We hear you on the sign-up process and appreciate the honest feedback.
Candace was awesome and wish we could do our final lesson with her. She’s the best and so kind and patient and great with the kids. Griff is bummed she doesn’t have availability for his final lesson.
We are grateful for sharing this! Candace will be thrilled to hear Griff's kind words. We hope his final lesson is just as wonderful.
My daughter learned a lot from her instructor and was really happy to get immediate feedback with a paper on items she could work on. Signing up for classes was also very easy. I highly recommend Coastline.
Thank you for your review, Lindsay. We're glad the immediate feedback and easy sign-up made a difference for your daughter's learning experience.
So far in my experience at Coastline Academy I have learned so much and improved my skill level significantly. It has been a pleasure doing Coastline, the balance between lecturing, videos and test is perfect. The flexibility of Coastline is one of my favorite parts as it is an online course allowing you to take your time. There’s nothing else that needs to be added on to the course, choosing Coastline Academy was the best choice, thank you for the opportunity and being such a wonderfully company.
We are grateful for your kind words, Bella. Your growth and the flexibility of our course mean everything to us. Thank you for choosing Coastline Academy.
Very good guidance and demonstration . Peter gives good advice on driving and explains the situation with visuals and examples on the road. Has control on the surroundings and safety with the driver.
Thank you immensely, DEZEGODI. Peter's guidance, demonstrations, and focus on safety clearly made a difference. We're glad to hear about your experience.
The instructor seemed to not be in a good mood before the test started. He asked my daughter to wear her reading glasses while she drove ( they are not for distance. She is an extremely cautious driver. Extremely... almost to a fault and is inconsistent with her speed. He said she rolled through a stop sign. She says that didn't happen and he didnt say anything til they were done. He also said she didnt use her turn signal parallel parking. In her lessons her instructor gave her a 4/5 for parallel parking. She always uses her signal and said she did during the test. My daughter was sobbing when we left. He was not kind nor caring. He seemed grumpy and mad and like someone who shouldnt work with teenagers. We will take her to a different location to retest after her 7 days. * if she needed to be wearing glasses, she should have been told that during the 6 hrs of lessons that we paid for at coastline. I am extremely disappointed. The guy even seemed to be questioning how to do things when talking to the lady at the front desk ( who was super sweet and helpful). He was argumentative and frankly, rude. He did tell me we could come there to practice parallel parking? But she has done great at parallel parking with the 6 hrs of lessons and driving with her dad and I. I am extremely upset and disappointed. On her reports it said nothing to make us concerned that she wouldnt pass today, other than sometimes inconsistent speed( shes slow and cautious) and that she needs to do better at checking her blind spot when changing lanes. This was a terrible experience for her and now she has lost confidence in driving and didnt want to even drive the car home ( we live about a mile away). The girl that tested before us, left sobbing as well. To add a little insult to injury as they say, He left his water bottle in our car, o I walked it back in and placed it on the counter. The lady at the front desk was a gem and didnt deserve to be talked to the way she was from the grouchy guy who didnt seem to completely understand the process of what he needed to do on the device.

Yvette, the driving instructor was very professional, patient and knowledgeable. My daughter was very comfortable with her and learnt a lot in her first 2 hr lesson. We definitely will be using her services for the remainder of the lessons.

What had made my experience great was having the article to read and able to do some quizzes throughout the course for me to remember what I need to remember for the permit test or driving course.

Russel C. Is the best driver instructor; he is very kind, and he truly cares about his students. I have had him for 2 lessons now, and both times have been great. He really has helped to give me the confidence I need in order to pass my behind-the-wheel test. I am no longer scared, nor do I feel any kind of anxiety while driving. Thank you, Russell C, for your help so that I can be the best driver I can be.
