Passed first try, highly recommend 6 hour course
I had Kevin for my first lesson and Eduard for my second and third. Without them I wouldn’t pass first try with little to no errors. Very great instructors, thank you so much for teaching me!
If you’re an ambivert or introverted, Kevin is very friendly and makes small talk to lessen the awkward environment and for that I am grateful. It made me open up more and feel less awkward towards having an instructor.
Eduard may look difficult to approach first, but he is actually super understanding. He is great at giving small but super helpful tips that will fix your driving in no time. He can be nit-picky and detailed but that is why he is a good instructor.

First lesson with an instructor, 10/10!!
I was scared for my first time on the road, but this instructor was incredibly patient and understanding with me. Because of this I managed to (while still nervous haha) stay calm and slightly relaxed the whole time.
For those who're just starting/on their first time or incredibly nervous, I highly recommend Zachary as an instructor :)

Not Beginner Friendly
The company should not advertise lessons for first time drivers. I came into the first lesson with barely any experience. I was looking forward to working alongside a patient instructor who could teach me as I do not have the support system for that. I even told the instructor that I had little to no experience. After the first lesson, I learned the instructors are not there to guide you like I expected. It’s more of a “crash course” layout where the lesson is treated like the actual DMV test. I was scolded for mistakes with little to no explanation on how to do things correctly and just expected to know what to do. Any time I would ask a genuine question to improve, my instructor (Arnold N.) responded passive aggressively. He was clearly frustrated throughout the 2 hour long lesson even though it wasn’t unreasonable of me to expect him to do his job of being helpful and understanding (he was the instructor after all). I got the impression that he didn’t want to do any sort of teaching which created a tense atmosphere for me. I did my best to remain calm throughout since I realized he would not budge in his attitude. Instructors should have the ability to be patient, understanding, and provide guidance to new drivers. It is not unreasonable or unrealistic to expect that. As the first time driver, I should not have been put in a position where I had to remain calm while managing my own anxiety, the road, and my “instructor’s” negative emotions. I do not recommend if you are absolutely new to driving. I am at least grateful that he did tell me about the essentials of driving but overall extremely disappointed.

Raymond was amazing
Raymond was amazing! My daughter felt very comfortable and he was very thorough and explained to her everything she needed to work on. This is my fourth child learning to drive and he has been the best instructor so far.!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Raymond made your daughter feel comfortable, provided such thorough instruction, and helped her understand exactly what to work on. Hearing that he's been the best instructor among your four new drivers is incredibly meaningful, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with him!
Daziel was an excellent instructor! He was incredibly calm, patient, and supportive, which made me feel much more comfortable as a nervous driver. He explained everything clearly, gave constructive feedback throughout the lesson, and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I never felt rushed or judged, and he created a positive learning environment that made it easier to focus and improve. I learned a lot during my lesson and would highly recommend Daziel to anyone, especially first time or anxious drivers. Thank you for such a great experience!

driving lessons with Morgan
I took my driving lessons with Morgan. He was fantastic. Calm, timely instruction made all the difference for regaining confidence after a long break from driving. His explanations are concise and on point. I feel confident to take my exam and sure will be using all the lessons on the roads 🙂

I also wanted to take a moment to share…
I also wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about my instructor. He is very patient and calm, which makes learning much easier and less stressful. He explains things clearly and never makes you feel rushed, even when you make mistakes. It really helps build confidence while driving.
I appreciate his teaching style a lot and feel comfortable during the lessons.
Thank you.
