My instructor was Danny, and he is great! He provided a lot of useful and practical information during my lessons and he was extremely kind throughout the process. When I made a mistake he would walk me through the correct way to do things. He made a comfortable learning environment and gave me every chance to succeed. His positivity gave me the confidence that I needed as a beginner. I came in with no experience in driving and his teaching actually helped me!

Brian Hageman has been absolutely fantastic! He was the driving instructor 4 years ago for my daughter and we were fortunate enough to have him as my Sons instructor this year. I am so thankful for all of the time he has spent with both of my children. He treats the kids like they are his own. His special blend of instruction and realistic approach to teaching is greatly admired. Both of my kids adore him. Thank you again Brian, you are one of a kind

John Folker from St. Pete - Tampa is the best instructor of all. I had 6 lessons where we always took highways, drove through neighborhoods, and practiced as if we were taking the DMV testbasically, a little bit of everything. He is a very calm person who makes you feel very confident. I highly recommend him!!
