There was a lack of good communication when needing to reschedule classes due to a situation with…read morethe original instructor as well as a lack of professionalism for the driving instructor when my daughter was conducting her drive time. Lack of Professionalism: When you are in an instructor position teaching kids, discussing or bringing up anything political or religious views is UNACCEPTABLE. My daughter was made to feel that if her viewpoints didn't line up with her instructor, he would mark her more harshly than if she just kept quiet. That time should solely be spent teaching them how to drive safely and responsibly, not discussing religious or political views. Lack of good communication: The original setup went well, but then had to change to another day/time due to teacher issues. (not really sure). The person setting these new days/times was respectful, but in turn, told me to delete some dates when it was an actual scheduled class. This could have led to a fee that I was charged. The class for the last "in-person" class was just for students, but parents were also included in the invite. No communication to me that I, as the parent, didn't need to be there for the call. Communicating this BEFOREHAND would have been a respectful and professional thing to do. Fees: This should be looked at further because of the safety and health of all students as well as the instructor. Families are charged if a student needs to miss a class or misses it altogether. This is understandable until a child is sick. However, when the instructor has to miss a class due to being sick, they can with no charge. What this tells us as parents, is that you are okay with a sick kid attending a class and being in a car, which will in turn get others sick. Money doesn't grow on trees and is not something everyone has a lot of so making that expectation puts others at risk of getting sick as well. This is not a good policy by any means.

Found Hammerly's Great NW Drivers and did not regret it. I signed up for the 8 lesson package. Greg doesn't just help with passing driver's tests, his tips and methods really focus on making you a great driver overall. He focuses strongly on being safe and provides tips and context for why we need to build certain driving habits. A holistic approach I really appreciated. An additional plus, he picks you up and you drive. No meeting up at an office which was extremely convenient for me. I highly recommend.

I would like to start off by saying.....if I could give this business a higher star rating, I…read morewould! I highly recommend 1st Learn to Drive for any teen who is learning to drive. The instructors are patient, professional, and truly dedicated to helping new drivers feel safe and confident on the road. They take the time to explain not just the rules of the road, but also priactical tips for real-world situations. Scheduling lessons was always easy, and the staff was always friendly and accommodating. The owner, Mike, really cares about the new teen driver. He even takes time out on evenings or weekends to answer my text messages. The online zoom classroom was amazing as well as the instructor teaching it! I think his name was Christian. It was twice a week and very well organized class setting. The zoom class provided a strong foundation of knowledge. My teen felt comfortable right away, and I noticed a big improvement in his driving skills. Thanks to 1st Learn to Drive, my teen passed the driving test on the first try! If you're looking for driving school that balances professionalism with a supportive learing environment, 1st Learn to Drive is an excellent choice. Thank you, Kim Ellingson

Please do not take this course…read more My online instructor, Benji, was totally fine. Same with my first driving instructor who was some sort of "substitute" I believe. But when I finally got my first experience with my actual instructor, who I believe the name of was Derrick, I was disgusted. He would have his phone out, looking at it with an earbud in, WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. This was completely unprofessional. You want to know what else was unprofessional? When he reached into my friends' pocket to take his phone out to turn off his alarm. He was also extremely rude to us and made us do many more small things that were not necessary. His way of teaching was terrible and completely unhelpful. And he also hated belts or something because every time he stood up his pants would fall almost all the way down. Which is probably why he put a mat under where he sat, that was absolutely disgusting and would shake it out. He shouted at my friend for no reason, he was terrible. I could go on. But you know what else? My friend's parents and mine both called the owner, Mike, to complain about this TWICE. And after Mike said he would give us a new instructor, me and my friend arrived the next day to find that untrue. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was extremely anxious and in danger of crashing when driving with him, and temporarily had driving PTSD after my lessons. This man should be fired.
