I had Scott for my 6-hour instruction and I couldn't be happier. He made me really comfortable and calmed my nerves. He explained everything in detail but made it so that the experience wasn't too overwhelming either. He made sure that I got the most out of the 6 hours and that I understood what to do in as many possible circumstances as possible. He was really kind and entertaining, and I would definitely recommend him without a second thought!

My daughter had Dave as an instructor and he was the best instructor! Made it so easy for her to learn the skills needed. They did so much during the 6 hours like practicing going through drive-thrus, getting gas, and going through a car wash. (On top of the basic skills needed for the drivers test) She ended up passing her test and would definitely recommend!

Dave was amazing at teaching parallel parking and prepared me very well for the road test! I had him for my six hours as well as for an hour review lesson before the road test and I easily passed! I'm normally very nervous for tests but there's nothing to worry about if you have Dave as your instructor!

It was nice to find a reliable and knowledgeable instructor who lives locally. After checking with many other parents I did my research and found Dave. He is the only instructor so you get to know who you will have teach. You're not worried to find who will show up at your door. I found him to be reliable and above all patient. That's the number one importance. I certainly wouldn't want to do his job but he does it well and I am thankful for him getting my child driving. I can't thank him enough for all his help. He made it convenient too so I didn't even have to step a foot in the DMV office. You get very personalized service. What more could you ask for.
