When I met Rita for the first time, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable and confident with learning how to drive a vehicle safely with adaptive controls and after several lessons with Rita, she felt confident that I could safely drive a vehicle and pass the DMV driving with adapter controls installed on my cars. On June 5, 2025 I was given an appointment date with the DMV for a driving test with an examiner and I had a successful outcome I " PASSED" the driving test not driving a vehicle for one year and 10 months.The knowledge and experience that Rita help develop within myself allowed me to pass this driving test and I made one mistake. I turned too wide when departing the DMV parking lot and I got dinged for that but the DMV examiner wrote on his supplemental driving performance evaluation score sheet I am a very safe driver thank you so much, Rita you are an amazing, professional, and caring, helpful instructor. Anyone needing to learn how to drive with adapter controls or just a first time driving student. I would highly recommend Rita Flanagan for all your driving needs.!!!!!

On the website they make it seem like you can choose your instructor but that's not the case. You…read morereach with your information and then random people text you. It was jarring. My instructor was good during the lesson but on 3 occasions tried to reschedule the day before, sometimes the day of, and it wasn't for emergencies. They also told me that most people master how to turn on the first lesson despite this being my second lesson, which hurt my confidence (I think this instructor was socially awkward) I also had a different instructor who completely forgot about our appointment and then when I tried to reschedule it they claimed I needed to pay them a "cancelation fee" over venmo. There is nothing like that on the site and I found that weird. I'm not naming any names because I don't want anyone specifically in trouble, I think most people have had good experiences with Ann's and these specific instructors. Your mileage may vary. Edit: no I am positive this is the right school.

TL;DR: Avoid this driving school, especially for teenagers and young women. Unprofessional and…read moreinappropriate behavior from instructor Bassir. I would strongly advise parents to avoid this driving school, especially for teenagers and young women. During lessons, the instructor, Bassir, repeatedly touched my wife on her arms, shoulders, and hands when there was no safety concern or driving-related reason to do so. There was no dangerous situation that required physical intervention, and the behavior came across as overly familiar and inappropriate. We reported the behaviour to the owner, and he first acknowledged, but later said he only watched part of the video and says this is normal requirement for their driving school to touch people. A driving instructor should maintain professionalism and clear boundaries at all times. This experience made my wife extremely uncomfortable, and we would not recommend this school to others.

I am an early stage rider with my M1, my own bike, and about a month of experience riding around the city but I lacked the confidence to feel really in control of my bike. Evan reshaped by fundamentals and taught me in much more detail about my throttle and brakes than what I learned at my CMSP course. Also being able to ride as a passenger while he demonstrated the drills was incredibly eye opening. Being able to feel the smoothness and minute control that an experienced rider has really helped me learn what I could aim for myself. To top it off, literally the SAME afternoon I finished my lesson I had a driver pull put in front of me from their parking spot while I was making a turn, and with the skills that Evan taught me I was able to avoid collision and ride away safely. Most importantly, I handled the situation calmly and smoothly because of the outward focus that my Monkey Moto lesson taught me. I can't recommend Monkey Moto School enough, don't hesitate to book a lesson no matter your skill level!

He also enjoys using his "status" as a way of putting down ppl and making them feel less than. All of the "lessons" you take at this "school" can be found for free online and there is absolutely no need to drop $14K or more. Not only that, you're expected to do all of your own work in terms of networking and finding jobs during and after. You're deemed a lazy, entitled brat if you're not doing most of the work yourself. So not sure what we're paying the tuition for? I'm not surprised by the reviews here. The owner uses bullying tactics to scare ppl from speaking out such as telling students he will ruin you and that knows all the CEOs and founders in silicone valley (I highly doubt such an assinine person would be accepted in those circles). Hence my need to make this account to avoid jeopardizing my own career that I built myself from scratch. If you contact alumni and ask for the real tea, you will find out these shiny reviews are a farce and I welcome you to do that to save yourself.
