My husband and I had an excellent experience here. He just moved to Tacoma to be a school nurse and…read moreneeded a license as soon as possible so he can commute. Several other driving schools were not answering calls in Tacoma so we found 1st Avenue. The ladies answering calls have always been friendly and informative. I called several times to confirm info and they were always patient with me. When we went in to take the test, everyone was friendly. Sean failed the written the first time but took the second time for no extra cost and passed. We practiced on our own using the DOL videos on what to practice. We practiced for three days and he took the driving test here and passed with 95%. Everyone was friendly this time also. They have adapted to Covid protocols very well with seating arrangements and sanitizers throughout. It's understandable Sean had to use their car, that's probably the law as far as I know. The car was basic enough for him to see everything. I see another review where someone had difficulty seeing the speedometer. That's very unlikely in these basic Ford cars. Plus my husband is Asian and not an excellent driver in my opinion, but good enough to follow laws and drive safely. So if he can pass, I guarantee it's possible for others! Sean and I were very happy with this school and recommend it. Excellent prices as well.

Signed up online for the May 14 class on April 13 but must have clicked the wrong on the schedule…read morefor April 14 start and was out of town. Received one call and I called them back and left message. No return call, I sent them proof of only one call from them and they said I needed to cancel 72 hours before class and that they lost out on a seat when I didn't. Hard to do when the class started less than 15 hours after I signed up. I emailed them back it was a simple mistake and they refused to move my daughter to the May 14 start date and took my $99 deposit. Truly unbelievable, I have their crappy responses via email if anyone is curious.

The instructor has over 35 years of instruction experience and is very kind and patient. The class atmosphere is very welcoming to anyone, never do you feel pushed beyond your limits or feel like your competing against other students. If you love classical ballet and always wanted to take classes, no matter what age, (really - there is a lady beyond her 60's in the adult classes), or body type, this is a great ballet school to learn.

Hello My daughter…read morewent here well before Covid and the young man,Zachary, was very caring and a great teacher. It's a small town youth theater. For what is, we were pleased and enjoyed the performances. We were planning to continue but then youth theater became offered where my child attended school and that was more economical for our family. I felt bad not continuing as I know small businesses count on continued repeat business but it worked better for us to go through the school once it was offered. I would like to see this business offer internships (even unpaid) to theater majors in a way to incorporate the community more into the business. It's important to invest in the community as it is important to invest in small businesses. I wish them all the best.

Staff & instruction: 5 stars Scheduling & operations: 1 star…read more Lessons taught are great, staff is nice. Scheduling the class series is easy, but it's trying to schedule the 5 drives, then final drive exam that is a challenge. Website for both Puyallup and Graham would fill up in minutes, and same for attempts to call to book. The biggest challenges are demand (they literally need 2 more locations in East Pierce), not enough instructors, combined with allowing instructors to provide availability one week at a time instead of a set work schedule. So drives fill up FAST and can't be booked in advance. It often took 2-3 phone calls - per drive - to try to find an open drive time between both Puyallup and Graham. For very busy teens and organized Moms this process was exhausting. Far better to offer a package, even for a fee, where the drives are a pre-booked date & time, like every other Saturday at 9am (example) and *booked in advance.* The school's priority is ensuring students know how to drive safely and practice between drives. Parents want that too. But they truly need to either add locations or find a way to allow advance booking for drives. Hoping this review helps encourage growth and operational improvements.
