Started off at the SF course, and didn't pass the skills test which was a bummer. But they have an amazing retake option where you get to run the entire course again. So basically, I got 20 hours of training by taking the course twice and paying once. Highly recommend the Vallejo course, as SF and Alameda use the brand-new, twitchy BMW 310R's which were not easy to handle.

I never got around to leaving a review but after hearing what kind of horrible schools other people…read morehave to put up with, I want to make sure my facts are heard. This is one of the best if not the absolute best school in Northern California. My friends and I passed the exam all on our first tries and all got jobs within a month of our testing dates. I started with a different school and after two days I realized it wasn't as advertised and pulled out. Came straight to Easy CDL after reading the Google reviews. It was a night and day difference between the awful first school and Easy CDL. Since then I have had more than 5 friends become truck drivers and they all went through this school. You can read their other reviews on here. Every one of us passed first try and are now happily making good money. Thank you for making my transition into my new career easy for me.

After having a bad experience with a previous school, (paid 5k, had my permit for a full year &…read morenever obtained my license) I came across Easy Truck School. Just as you may be doing now, I did my due diligence & looked over all the positive reviews that former students had. After calling & speaking with Ali, I knew this was the right school for me to attend. Eventually I made the 3 hour drive up there & spoke with him in person regarding the whole process & about his program. After discussing everything & receiving a tour, I signed myself up. As a former student, I can attest that the whole experience & training here are beyond great. From his generous hospitality to his great instructors, Ali provides YOU the student with all the tools needed for you to obtain your license. Sometimes in life we can encounter individuals or business organizations that can care less about providing a great service & only care about taking our money BUT that is far from being the case here. Ali genuinely cares about the student becoming successful in passing & obtaining their license. If you have any questions or need assistance, there is always someone in the office to answer them. Outside there are numerous instructors that fully engage with the students & assist them with the pre-trip, skills or driving as needed. There are also several yards provided so you can practice your skills & pre-trip. Overall, if you want to obtain your commercial license & in the process be properly trained, this is the school you want to enroll yourself in. In the end, those long 3 hour drives to & from the school were well worth it. Ali, may God continue to bless you & prosper your business. I highly appreciate you brother, thank you & your nephew for all of your assistance during this process. Best Regards, Rudy

I love their website. It's clean and easy to navigate. They give 2 free hours when you sign up if…read moreyou sign up for auto pay ($30/hr). Their pricing is pretty competitive and I was surprised to see that there were so many tutors online. The two times I've contacted a tutor was through chat to see if they can help me/see how long it would take before sending a request. It was simple and painless. Why the horrible review then? After signing up, I was looking through the account options and suddenly someone who works there messages me and asks if I had any questions. So I proceed to ask questions (maybe too many) and he tells me to read terms of the subscription. It was irritating since he was the one who messaged me and one of the questions he answered directly contradicted what was in the "terms." I guess it's fine since I'm not there to chat with support anyway. I was there for help on a physics problem that I wanted someone to look over and help me where I was stuck. I asked a highly recommended tutor and he quoted me 3 hours in order to work the problem. The next person quoted me 1 hour but came back 5 hours later telling me they weren't sure how to solve parts of the problem. The whole ordeal was just a big waste of time. Maybe if the subject was English or something it'd be different but I'm really dissatisfied with how my situation turned out.

On the surface InstaEDU, under its now-parent company Chegg, appears to be a cutting-edge…read moreeducational company. It seems to offer a variety of lesson services over a digital medium, and the academic areas covered by the company are extensive. However, many truths appear to contradict the professional, financial or, indeed, educational safety of the company. "Tutors" are allowed to say whatever they want about their own background, history, or professional experience; they are allowed to claim any number of areas where they possess "expertise" indiscriminately and without objective measurement or guarantee; they are consistently allowed to keep from responding to any student or parent in a timely manner; they are allowed to book lessons for which they suffer no repercussions upon missing. In addition to this, their in-company reputations are also a mystery, as there are often no explicit details as to why a "tutor" was given a positive review, and any negative review can be removed without requiring an explanation by the company administration. For example, on Yelp the company brazenly claims any student can "work with a tutor with an Ivy League education," (http://www.yelp.com/biz/instaedu-san-francisco); this is a misleading claim very easy to contradict simply by looking through any number of tutors' profiles, as a vast majority of them are not Ivy-League educated. The company itself is held to no different standard: there are no publicly displayed qualifications, accreditations, or other industry-accepted measurements of the company's own ability to provide what it claims, let alone of its executives. Furthermore, the company itself maintains an "honor code" that is rarely monitored; indeed, the entire company seems to rely more on its own employees policing each other via indirect comments on posts, something that is hardly a typical professional exercise of administrative responsibility. Students are encouraged to obtain a "free trial," which in fact is just a ruse to have the student's (or, most likely, parent's) credit card information on file to be debited automatically without clearly notifying the student of the time spent in a lesson until after the fact, and if a student needs to cancel a lesson for any reason whatsoever, the student is charged for half the lesson time. If a student has an emergency and cannot cancel the lesson in time, the student is charged for the entire lesson. There is no "group lesson" option which might lower the rates, and it seems there is no standard curriculum by which the company's employees engage content. In fact, there is no guarantee that a legal adult even authorizes the use of a card, which could lead to dicey legal situations for just about everyone involved. Neither tutors nor students are given any kind of required check to ensure safe conduct, and the company absolves itself of any responsibility for the conduct of either side of an interaction. No guarantee is given of any accuracy in anything anyone says, whether student or tutor, and therefore both parties are put at substantial risk of having either the other party or the company taking advantage. Even apart from the human beings interacting, the area where lessons occur seems to have many technical issues, with constant, inexplicable disconnections possible from either side at any time, which may in fact end a lesson prematurely -- something else for which the company allows either party to take responsibility, instead of itself. Clear warning is not given as to either the technological compatibility requirements or the relevant acceptable conduct of either student or tutor upon entering the site, and no one is given a chance to recover funds for either unless explicitly demanded directly. And the company's support system is vague and difficult to contact. In short, unless someone is willing to take a significant gamble and finagle answers out of employees for free, it seems like a no-win situation for anyone but the company executives, who seem to view education as nothing other than a means to personal financial gain. It would be better simply to ask one's teacher for help after class, or to seek in-person advice at the very least, as that kind of lesson is far less risky and may even be free -- without a catch.

At Tutor Me SF, the tutors graduated from top tier universities like Stanford and Harvard and have track records with their students. This was especially important for me when I was looking for an SAT tutor for my niece who needed to raise her scores. Tutor Me SF recommended a tutor who scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and really knew the tips and tricks to doing well on the math and English portions. After working with Tutor Me SF, my niece improved her SAT scores and she felt more confident going into the exam. Since then, I have recommended Tutor Me SF to multiple friends for Math tutoring, English tutoring, and even ISEE tutoring! 5/5!
