Report
Very unprofessional, the instructor didn't provide adequate guidance during lessons and never made corrections to things being done wrong. When we made a complaint we were told they'd no longer sponsor our son for his test. One lesson with another school that corrected the errors that were taught and allowing us to use their course and he passed his test. Maria is very unprofessional and rude and I'll gladly share emails to back this review up. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

I'll let the picture speak for itself. If you teach it's ok to park in front of a no parking sign. I wonder how they even got there driver license.
