I am an adult driver and I took 4 2-hour driving lessons with 3 different instructors. Instructor 1 asked me about personal issues that are none of his/her business. An acquaintance who had the same instructor said that he/she was trash-picking DURING the lesson. The car smelled bad and was very dirty; it seemed like the instructor was using it as his/her personal vehicle. This instructor also insulted me repeatedly and implied that I'm stupid. On top of it, Instructor 1 was extremely disorganized. Instructor 2 was better but still insulted me once and had the radio on. When a male student got in the car and drove us back to the school, the instructor asked his preference about the radio (the instructor never bothered to ask me). Instructor 3 was on the phone for much of my lesson, but was kind and a reasonably good instructor. I had a lesson I couldn't go to with Instructor 2, so I cancelled it online 2 days before the lesson. I got voicemails the day of the lesson from Instructor 2 saying that he/she was waiting for me to show up and that I would still have to pay for the lessons because I didn't cancel them. I called the school, and they said I owed them a $25 fee for not cancelling the lesson (which I refuse to pay). I have a confirmation email saying that I DID cancel it. I had Instructor 2 again for my fourth lesson. This time, the instructor grabbed the wheel from me several times (there was no imminent danger and I was not driving into traffic or off the road). Instructor 2 also seemed like he/she wasn't paying attention at some points. Both Instructors 1 and 2 gave directions that were either unclear or too late for me to follow them. They both got annoyed or angry when I missed a turn that I was told to make at the last minute or that I thought was further ahead. Overall, it was a waste of time and money. If you're looking for driving lessons, I would advise finding a different school. Read Less

Horrible. Waste of money. They talk about others to students that have nothing to do with them.
