    As someone who has a terrible fear of driving, this was so much better than I had expected. For…read morereference, I took 5 of the 1.5 hour adult lessons here. I was terrified at first, tense all throughout my body, gripping the wheel like crazy, but my instructor, Willow Moon was able to get me to completely relax and focus within the first 30 minutes of my first drive. She has the patience of a saint and a good sense of humor. They really let you decide when you're comfortable enough and ready to move on to the next stage (ex. from city driving to the highway). She believed I was ready the first day but mentally I wasn't, and she didn't force it upon me to do it that day. Before these lessons, I had only driven ONCE on the road for about 5-10 minutes. But by the 5th hour and a half drive, Willow "tested" me to see if I was prepared for the real deal. I was ecstatic to hear that I passed her practice test! She was absolutely amazing with giving me tips and explaining things thoroughly that would be on the test. I really didn't think I'd do that well after only 5 drives, but THAT just shows how great these lessons are. I now feel 1,000 times more confident and I feel that with just a tiny bit of extra home practice, I'll be ready for it. Thank you Willow for your patience and time. I hope you and this company continue to help save people from careless accidents

I would not mind coming in for an hour and teaching that portion if you would like. My daughter went through the program about a year ago and she tells me that topic is not covered. I told her that's hard to believe but, it is in the drivers guide. Maybe she didn't pay attention that 39 minutes it was talked about???? Simple- Steer it and clear it if possible. -call 911 -Have DL, Reg, POI in vehicle. -Do not accept not calling the police an option as the other person may not have insurance or valid DL etc. there is a reason why they want to leave before the police arrive!! Even if the damage is non reportable, the officer can still write the person at fault a ticket!!! Anyway just a thought, Keith

    My daughter was their to take a driving test. The driver instructor was very rude he told my…read moredaughter that she could not take the test due to her wearing g Ugg shoes. He was very disrespectful about it. He told her they have no refunds . He than proceeded to take another girl who was tsking the drive test in place of my daughter mind you wearing the same ugg shoes. My daughter is native american and the other girl was European american white. I couldn't attend my daughter's drive test that day I had to work. But I believe that my daughter was wrongfully discriminated against. My daughter is sweet and very respectful. When I called to speak to a manager. The young girl who answered was very rude. And stateded"we don't give any refunds" she started "the Washington state department of licensing says my daughter can't wear those type of shoes to take a dri e test" I asked if that was stated on the 911 driving school website. She said yes. I asked her are you sure. (It doesn't say that anywhere on their website) she never got the manager. I than asked if my daughter can take the test with another driver. This was an option. My daughter is rescheduled. I feel like this needs to be addressed. I wonder how many people, young kids of color they do this too. They just take their money and not give them a chance to even take the tests. No refu d policy needs to be adjusted or a new staff. Who do not discriminate. This is not right.

    A friend wanted to get his motorcycle license so I decided to take the class with him. We took the…read more3 day "Learn to Ride" class with WMST in Auburn. This class is the first of two classes to get the motorcycle endorsement. Passing the Learn to Ride class gives you the permit, allowing you to legally ride and practice riding for six months but with some restrictions (not riding with other passengers or at night among other things). Passing the returning rider course gives you the actual endorsement that does not have any restrictions. The Auburn classroom location is next to the Johnny Rocket's and across the Dave & Buster's at the Outlet Collection Mall. Day 1 was on Friday evening and consisted of a couple of hours of learning safety rules, myths vs facts, tips, and laws of riding motorcycles in the classroom. Day 2 started off on the range where we rode the motorcycles provided by the class and learned the basics of riding. In the afternoon, we went back to the classroom to learn the rest of the material and then took the written test. Day 3 was on the range where we continued practicing our riding abilities and then ended with the riding exam. The written exam consisted of 50 multiple choice questions (mostly common sense questions) and you need an 80% to pass. The riding exam consisted of 5 riding exercises to test basic riding abilities. Now onto the class itself: it is meant for beginners and those with no motorcycle riding experience, but the instructors moved quickly and skipped a couple of things that I thought would've been important to tell students in case they have no knowledge about motorcycles. Extremely simple things like how to know if a bike is too big for you, how to shift gears, and how to properly hold the handles without getting wrist pain. I learned a good amount of the basics from asking other riders because our instructors didn't teach us for whatever reason. It's a class where they let you go and figure things out on your own and they jump in when you need it. I like that but I'd also appreciate knowing how to do some things to help accelerate our learning. At some points the instructor was more interested in telling jokes than actually teaching the class which wasn't ideal. I never planned on buying a motorcycle or riding one on the road, but I wanted to try something new and this was an educational class that got me out of my comfort zone. I passed both exams which I'm happy about but the class itself wasn't the best experience. The instructors were interesting characters but not the best educators. Some other things I wish I would've known: - You can use hiking boots as your riding boots. This would've prevented me from buying motorcycle boots just for the course that I won't use again. - They have helmets that you can borrow if you don't have one. Again, I bought a helmet just for the course. - Read the motorcycle operating manual before the class so terminology is not new to you if you're not familiar with riding.

Idk if my driving instructor is just rude or just racists to me in way where i feel likes shes indicating or saying something that made me feel uncomfortable. For my first visit I did walk in and she was the one in front and i was doing driving test and she ask if I had WA I.D. Since english is my second language i don't immediately get what shes trynna look for i told her That i have WDL number/and school I.D. Or permit and she immediately said so you dont have WA I.D. and she keep saying so your illegally driving then? Idk what came to her mind thinking I been driving illegally when I passed my permit couple months before starting my driving tests. I explained to her that when i took my knowledge tests at 911 driving school they told me i can just get driving tests as soon as possible mind you I'm (19 y old). so she let me drive which I shouldn't done on our first test she failed me and gave me 0% just because I'm speeding 28/25 miles and i dont stop fully. I told my dad and he thinks she's unreasonable for giving me 0 score just because i was speeding a little bit. Also shes been smiling at me and look so happy when she told me my results that made me feel uncomfortable its like she loves seeing people fail in front of her she didn't give me tips on how to improve so i felt like shes being sarcastic and for my second try she recognized me and this time i went slow and she didn't passed me just because i was dangerously slow i was going 17/20 mph idk if shes not looking the sign but she told me i was going 15/25 mph street when it clearly said 20 miles and watch for people crossing. Its like she's intentionally failing her students who are different so I highly don't recommend the place specifically this branch because it's overpriced and it's better to get your test somewhere else specially when you're not white. Btw her name is Cherry don't recommend her at all cost shes not worth of your money its ridiculous that they charge $65 for failing you i regret going there and made me feel like i wasted my time and money just to get 0 score because of her unreasonable result.

I read reviews for various school however; Drive Right Driving School stood out to me. I contacted the school and spoke with Mr. Suleman. He asked me a few general questions to gage what type of classes would be suitable for me. He gave me a couple different options but stated that purchasing a package would be a better option and it would save me money.  I was a bit apprehensive on my first day of class because you never know how the instructor will be if you make a mistake; however, right from our first meeting Mr. Suleman was so kind and soft spoken that I immediately felt at ease. He advised me not to be nervous and when we sat in the car he explained all the car features, functions, and driving rules.  I specifically appreciated how Mr. Suleman remains calm, and speaks so respectfully. Mr. Suleman is very professional and knowledgeable and he shares his experiences with you and provides insight on how to be an excellent driver. It was refreshing to see an instructor who truly cares about the success of their students. His aim was not just to teach but to ensure I understand and feel confident about the road, my driving, and stated that if I focused on that then I would attain my goal of getting my license and being a safe and confident driver.  I would without a doubt recommend Drive Right Driving School to everyone who needs to learn to drive or anything driving related. One of my best decisions.

It is evident that they have been able to maintain the quality and caliber of education to the founder's high standards. Truck driving school is quite an investment of time and money and you have to make sure that its for you. You also want to do it right - it's a hell of a lot of responsibility and it is not easy. Driving a truck is a calling and a profession. I took time to research the trucking schools between the Canadian border and south to Everett. I checked out the reviews, the websites and I took the time to drive around Skagit, Whatcom and Snohomish counties looking for a great truck driving school - driving around their yards and snooping around. I chose TaylorMade Truck Driving School in Burlington and I have no regrets. They are not the least costly school, but the program is very thorough and anticipates all of the costs extra. They will work with you, and they won't give up on you. This made all of the difference for me. The instruction was top notch. The instructors are all very different, but they meet and talk in the mornings and at the end of each day. Each student's learning day is graded; the score cards are used as talking points between the instructors. This communication of student progress really allows for a high level of individually tailored instruction. The best part is that the lead instructor is a natural at teaching. He really gets it and truly understands that every person learns differently; the key to success in teaching is finding out how each student learns. It certainly worked for me, an old guy who needed a late life career change. This old dog learned some new tricks and I have the folks at Taylor Made TDS to thank. They rock!

It took over a month to get the new instructor assigned and once assigned the staff made me feel like it was my fault that they never told me what was going on. The new instructor was a younger person looking to move on into airline pilot training. The one lesson I had scheduled with him was ruined due to the plane not being returned on time for our flight. I got two laps in the pattern as opposed to my hour of scheduled time. He gleefully told the person who returned it late that it was fine. I was then assigned another instructor who seemed like might be good for me as he was older and seemed to be interested in my plan. unfortunately the plane which had been in the service hanger for several weeks had not been prepared and was short on oil. we spent a half hour getting it ready to fly and I managed one lap in the pattern. to be clear my overall instruction in terms of actual flying time was 3 laps in the patter in over two months. my frustrations mounted to the point where I canceled my lessons with Snohomish Flying Service and am pursuing a different flight school to complete my training.
