I really enjoyed taking this class! Both instructors that taught me (Mr. Joe and Mr. Washington) were super patient, helpful, and made learning how to drive feel much less stressful. I learned a lot under these two instructors and i will feel much more confident when getting behind the wheel for the in person test.

It was amazing i think the the teachers are really fun so i wasn't bored and liked the videos shown to us they served as a reality check. I learned so much about the danger of reckless driving and i think those are important lessons when deciding to get a licence. I cant wait for my on the road driving sessions.
