They never answer! How do you operate a business and not answer customer phone calls?

Flip you guys!! I bought a 25 dollar course and ordered my certificate, and you guys lost it!! You…read moreforced me to wait TWO WEEKS for a piece of paper and then LOST IT IN TRANSIT!! MY APPOINTMENT IS IN FOUR DAYS! Now I need to pay FOURTY DOLLARS TO GET IT ON TIME!! don't do drivers ed from this place! they are irresponsible and just looking for money. Actually, frick you guys.

I had two issues with this company. 1. When my son completed the drivers Ed course, I received an…read moreemail that said the certificate was on the way. 5 weeks later, still no certificate, so I called and they told me I never ordered it! I explained that their email was misleading, it didn't say anything about needing to order it. The only option was for me to pay them $40 to express mail it. Wasn't happy with this as I felt I got swindled, but I paid it. 2. My son didn't pass his first permit test so I had to cancel the behind the wheel that I had previously booked. I canceled right away in the DMV parking lot with 24 hour notice. They tried to charge me $189 for the cancellation! The reason I booked the lesson before him passing the test was because their availability is very poor. I didn't want my son to wait several weeks to get behind the wheel once he passed the test and the day after his test was their only availability for weeks, so I had to take it. I'm cancelling the 6 hour driving lessons and going with a local company down the street that has better availability and better customer service. I'm not giving this company any more of my money. I will update this review once the refund is processed.

Bobby was a terrific instructor. I'm a dad of a 15yo who threw me a curve and asked me to ride…read morealong in her first lesson. I have been driving 35 years and it was instructive to me (we all might benefit from a refresher!). Bobby was patient, calm but firm, and the course was well planned to slowly increase the driving difficulty and put the learner in different situations in a safe manner. Can't say enough. 10 stars out of 5.

I did a stick shift lesson with Bill a year ago. I wanted to learn how to drive stick because it…read moreseemed like an important skill both for traveling to other countries and being a better driver overall. I had a great time during my lesson. Bill was very realistic and upfront at the start, that I would learn how to get feom point A to point B, but it might not be pretty! By the end of the lesson, I felt reasonably confident in my newfound skill. Bill gave me the Zen-like attitude and skills necessary to instantly recognize what was going on whenever the car did not respond as intended, and to take emotions out of the problem-solving process. These things can be so hard when you inevitably stall and anger other drivers---something everybody does when learning to drive a manual. A few weeks after my lesson, I ended up going on a fun drive through the European countryside to a destination not easily reachable by public transit. The guy at the rental counter, seeing I was American, tried to give me an automatic and I had to correct him. I did stall a few times, including while inching forward in highway traffic, and was able to stay cool and collected. As promised, I got from Point A to Point B! Someday, I want my next car to be something sporty with a stick shift. I am most impressed by the psychological skills Bill taught me in this context. These aren't skills I would have learned from simply asking a friend or parent to teach me. If I had teens, I would absolutely want Bill to teach them the driving skills that *will* save their life--a purpose he is passionate about from his previous job as a cop. Thanks Bill for teaching me a skill I will enjoy for years to come!

We emphasize tradition in honoring our…read moreancestors practices, cultural education and community through performances that showcase the hula of Hawai'i, the strength of Samoan dance, the rhythm of Tahitian drumming, and other Polynesian dance and music. Our halau is more than a dance group; it is a nurturing ʻohana, a sisterhood and brotherhood founded on mutual respect, emotional support, and shared responsibility. We strive to uplift one another, knowing that when one dancer rises, we all rise. United by love and guided by kuleana (duty), we serve our community not only as artists but as cultural stewards, weaving generations together with compassion, strength, and aloha. We welcome anyone who feels the call to dance, learn, serve, and belong

It's not just a performance, it's their tradition and culture brought to life through the aloha they share. They are a community through and through. Our daughter also takes classes with Ha'a Hula and we are impressed with their ability to teach her not just the various dances but teach them to understand the meaning behind everything as well as the culture and Hawaiian language. They demand etiquette, a demeanor of servitude towards each other through acts of kindness and mindfulness with a calm and loving reverence for the halau, peers, teachers and kumu. We are grateful to have them in our community and for the opportunity to see them in their element.
