Some of the instructors are great. The bad ones I was with, however, were terrible. When you make a mistake they slam on the breaks, shocking you and throwing you off. One instructor literally slammed on the breaks and screamed at me for a few minuets in the middle of traffic. I was, at the time, obviously a new driver and mistakes should have been expected. I almost hit a curb is all (I was slowing down for a turn at an upcoming yield so its unlikely that it would have hurt the car much if at all), but nevertheless I was yelled at.

Some quotes I remember are "HONEY, you need to get in the center of the lane"; "SWEETHEART, look, I dont know why you are slowing down here". Very rude. I nearly called a stop to the lesson.

Before that trainwreck of a lesson I was bad at making turns so I spent extra time practicing to get it down. This was with a different instructor. In the car with us was someone who, I think, must have been training to become a driving instructor. Both the instructor and possible trainee where very nice. The instructor was helpful as well. However as soon as I got out of the car at the end of the lesson he started bad mouthing me to the trainee while I was still within hearing range.I know that when I first started driving I was a bad driver. Thats why I went to the lessons, to change that. However, now I know that Maverick Driving Academy is not a friendly place for drivers who need extra help. Read Less
