Mr Joe and Mr Washington are great teachers. 10/10
I loved the experience with Best Driving Academy. My teachers Mr. Joe and Mr. Washington were very nice and helpful during the class and even while we were learning those teachers still managed to make it fun.
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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This has truly been an amazing experience from start to finish! We are new to the area, and finding the right driving school for my son was extremely important to me.
