I'm 20 years old getting first time experience being on the road outside of the parking lot, after day 2 of instruction I felt very comfortable behind the wheel. Not only have 3 members of my family been students of Mr. Tibbs but all of them have become very good drivers. I also commend his patience and kindness as an instructor, no matter how many phone calls and inquiries he received while with other students, he always answered any questions potential students had and was flexible with their schedules while still being attentive to the driver behind the wheel and helping them. He is very understanding, gives great tips for being on the road, and makes you feel comfortable as if this is your own car. I highly recommend, I hope his services are around in the area for many years to come.

Bookworm Central is a local company (based out of Manassas, VA!) that offers on-site book fairs,…read moreonline book fairs (yes, virtual book fairs!), literacy programs, and classroom collections for all ages. I know that most schools usually stick with the big-wig (aka Scholastic), but it seems as if Bookworm Central is more personalized and offers a better high-quality selection of reading materials. You can request collections by grades, by specialty (leveled reading, Common Core, state reading lists, etc.), or by interests (award winners, favorite author sets, favorite series, etc.). The staff is extremely helpful, and they actually send out representatives to visit the schools to check out the inventory, help set-up (with their volunteers; mind you, it is still a small company, but growing), as well as continue to customize in terms of the popular products. I've also noticed that Bookworm offers a variety of different and unique books and less of the 'unnecessary' toys/gadgets. You can still find cool kits and puzzles, though! I highly recommend in checking Bookworm Central out - your school will totally be surprised at the high level of quality in the selection! :D

The instructor Ashton was very knowledgeable and great at making the class interesting rather than a pain.

They are extremely nice, funny guys, and very good at what they do. Can't recommend this course enough. A+++++

If I could give this place zero stars, I would…read more Just to be clear, I'm only reviewing my personal experience at the Fairfax location near George Mason University. My instructor was Jessica, so I can't speak for the other instructors or locations. I came here as a complete beginner expecting an MSF course to actually teach me how to ride. Instead, after struggling with one of the basic turning exercises, I was given basically two attempts before Jessica pulled out a paper and told me I was done and could come back another time - for an additional fee. Ironically, on my next attempt I actually did the exercise correctly. What bothered me most wasn't even being removed from the course. It was the way the instructor handled it. There was very little actual explanation of what I was doing wrong. Instead, she was constantly yelling things like "What are you doing?" That's not teaching, especially when you're dealing with someone who is sitting on a motorcycle for the first time. I spent around $350 on this course plus about five hours completing their online theory, and it was basically money and time thrown away. I refused to come back and pay them a second time out of principle. Instead, I practiced on my own and went through the Virginia DMV process, passing both the knowledge and riding tests. The DMV riding test is harder, but honestly, passing it gave me much more confidence in my ability to actually control a motorcycle. If you're a complete beginner, my advice would be to learn and practice somewhere else first and consider trying the DMV route before paying for this course. If you can't pass the DMV test, then sure, an MSF course may still make sense. But I definitely wouldn't recommend this particular course as the place to learn from scratch. A beginner motorcycle course should teach beginners, not expect them to already know how to ride.

I highly recommend this place to everyone…read more I had to attend class in the midst of Covid19. I found them on DMV website. The location was a little hard to find, but all of the local businesses were friendly and showed me the way. I was very happy to find them still working after having taken the proper precautions. Uma, the instructor had decided to give one-on-one classes for all who needed it. I was able to make an appointment right away. She was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to explain everything to me in as much detail as I wanted. Allowing me to ask questions and providing useful information in a very personable and friendly manner. The time seemed to fly by in her class, which may be due to how funny the instructor was. Uma also gave me tips to navigate the DMV process and system. She told me I could contact her in the future if I had any need for advice. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend the Defensive Driving Academy.

Just so you know .04 is one glass of wine for women!), and Virginia being a totally innocent liability state, meaning if you hit a deer and you hit another car to avoid the deer, and the people in that car get injured because they were driving drunk and not wearing a seatbelt, then they can sue you for personal liability in a private lawsuit for everything you are worth, and they will win, and the list goes on. We even learned which is the most effective car insurance coverage to deductible ratio. The teachers are AMAZING and extremely knowledgeable. One has worked for the Fairfax County Circuit Court and the other is a former physicist.

He then charged me for 1.5 hours when my child was only in the car for 1 hour 10 minutes. During this lesson he even made her turn on a red light that is clearly labeled NO TURN ON RED. After the lesson he tells my daughter she needs to pay him cash. I went to speak with him and offered credit card and zelle but he says he needs it immediately. I called hubs who has the Zelle account but he was driving and couldn't be reached. I explained it to the instructor and even ask for a written bill, but he got in his car and stormed off. He then proceeded to badger my husband and got his money which we were willing to pay anyhow.
