911 driving school in Bellevue left me with some extremely mixed feelings due to their presence of many rude, and entitled staff mixed with some rare, but kind staff. I took driver’s ed at this school because it was an easy commute, but should have asked around before because I later realized what a bad choice it was to choose this school. My teacher for the class was Deesa who was a good teacher in the classroom although when I had her for a drive I was shocked by how much of a personality change there was. She went from a kind teacher to full on yelling at me the whole one hour long drive. I will add in that this was my third drive therefore, I made mistakes such as when learning the backing maneuver, I forgot to tilt my mirrors down, and stopping for too long at an unprotected turn, but these minor mistakes were not nearly worth the yelling I experienced during all 60 minutes of that drive. Luckily, before and after that drive I had some great instructors. My first drive was with Enpart who focused a lot on safety and was extremely patient given it was my first time driving, and he got me to drive from Bellevue to Kirkland on my first time behind the wheel. My fourth drive was a dreaded one because of the past ones, so my dad offered to ride with me. Luckily, I had Jason Steele who was also extremely calm and patient with me on my first time driving on the freeway, and he made me feel very confident in my freeway driving. Unfortunately my fifth drive was with Wendy who I tried my very best to be extremely nice to by starting conversation, and being on my best behavior just to get yelled at for no reason whatsoever. I kid you not when I say no reason. I concluded my fifth drive by doing an observation with Wendy again as she took her next student on her drive; and I’m sorry but this girl was not a very good driver, yet Wendy had an extremely different attitude and approach with this student. I can assure you I was not a terrible driver on this drive because after that observation I took my knowledge test and got a 98%... This school was so bad that I cancelled my 6th drive and scheduled my drive test so that I could be out of the school, and write this review without being nervous of whether or not my past instructors see this. I would also like to add on that my instructor during my drive test had a kind additude and luckily was not like the other impolite staff members. I hope this review was useful to those considering this school. Good luck driving! Read Less
