1st Learn to Drive Clackamas is money well-spent! We were so fortunate to have SCOTT KEFGEN for our son’s driving instructor. Scott, reportedly the company’s most popular instructor, happens to be a real K-12 teacher who applies the same principles and modes of classroom teaching that makes for effective learning behind the wheel. He came armed with lecture notes and lesson plan that he discussed with us parents before starting. He also carefully evaluated our son’s driving for every lesson, giving him some homework driving and advice until the next session to improve on areas that he learned that day. He earned the trust and confidence of our son from the very first lesson up to the review before the DMV driving test. Scott never dropped the ball and delivered exactly what he said he would each time. He also was honest and did not try to stretch teaching for more sessions when he believed our son did not need more lessons to pass the test. The result is proof of Scott’s excellent mentoring: our son passed the DMV driving test with words of praise from the tester - on the first take!!! Take note that our son never had informal driving lessons before this, so we were very impressed with the results. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND 1st Learn to Drive Clackamas with no reservations. Thank you so much, Scott!!! I also posted this same review on Google.

I took my driving lessons with Steve. He is hands down one of the best instructors I ever had. I had some prior driving experience, but it was insufficient to pass the driving test. In just three 2-hour sessions, Steve had helped me internalize some incredibly helpful tactics that had made me a safer and more considerate driver. Just a week after my last lesson, I passed my driving test.

I was with Jeremy one day and he was excellent. We drove on winding country roads and he worked diligently to break me of a bad habit which I no longer do. I also drove with Vince one day in a totally unfamiliar residential area as well as a short distance on a freeway. He is very patient and taught me a new trick to parking.

This program, and especially its staff, are extremely helpful, and taught me well in my time there about the rules of the road. I learned a huge deal of information I would have never known learning on my own. Particularly, one of the classroom teachers named Andrew was able to not only make the enviornment of the classroom informative but also fun and engaging.
