I wanted to share my experience with iDrive Driving School regarding my son's lessons…read more His first session was a very positive experience. The instructor, Coach Michael, was calm, patient, and supportive, which really helped build my son's confidence behind the wheel. We continued practicing at home and were making great progress toward completing his required driving hours. Unfortunately, the last two lessons were a completely different experience. The instructor, Toya Phillips, was assigned for both sessions, and her approach was extremely concerning. My son shared that she was impatient, raised her voice, and was overly critical rather than supportive. During one lesson, while practicing parking, she became frustrated when he didn't perform the maneuver correctly and spoke to him in a harsh and discouraging way. As a result, his confidence has significantly declined, and he is now experiencing anxiety behind the wheel and does not feel ready to take his driver's test. I was also very troubled to hear that she told my son another student had become so upset during a lesson that they got out of the car and refused to continue. That alone raises serious concerns about her professionalism and teaching style. In addition, my son has ADHD, which was disclosed at the time of enrollment. This makes patience and clear, supportive instruction even more important--unfortunately, that was not our experience. I attempted to contact the school on two separate days and left messages but did not receive a response. Had there been communication and a resolution offered, I would have preferred to handle this privately rather than leave a public review. As I prepared to write this, I also noticed that Toya Phillips has been mentioned in other negative reviews, which suggests this may not be an isolated issue. At this point, I am requesting two additional driving sessions with Coach Michael, as he was professional, patient, and truly made a positive impact on my son's learning experience. Driving instruction requires patience, professionalism, and the ability to build confidence in new drivers. Based on our experience, I do not believe Toya Phillips should be working in this role.

I chose iDrive because it was recommended by others, and the online classes with Coach Michael were…read morevery helpful. Unfortunately, my experience with the behind-the-wheel lessons was extremely disappointing. Because of limited slot availability, I had to take lessons with two different instructors. During my second lesson, instructor Nadeem Qureshi focused more on questioning my prior experience than actually teaching me. I explained that, since I am over 25, I had already completed the MVA-recommended practice hours, along with some previous driving experience in my home country. Even so, a large part of the lesson was wasted before I was finally allowed to drive. Throughout the lesson, he repeatedly told me I needed more practice and suggested I book private lessons with him. After that class, he even told the receptionist that I should not continue without private lessons first. I declined and kept my final scheduled lesson. In the last lesson, it felt like he had already decided not to recommend me for the MVA test. I was marked as failed and pressured to pay for an additional private lesson costing $85. I also found some of his remarks disrespectful and inappropriate. I later complained to Mr. Husain, but I did not feel my concern was properly addressed. I was told I failed because I did not do enough head checks before lane changes. A driving school should guide students, correct mistakes professionally, and help them improve. My experience felt more like pressure to purchase extra lessons than genuine instruction. Because of this, I cannot recommend iDrive based on my behind-the-wheel experience.

I thought that Michael was excellent in explaining what the car is doing when the clutch is engaged versus when its not. He was very patience when I stalled out the car (multiple times) and provided a calm influence when trying to get the car started again by going back through the basics. The only concern I had was we were only able to drive in the AMC parking lot. I don't believe that was clear initially in during the purchase of the class. I really wanted to drive around the area to get a better feel of where the clutch point was and get more practice starting from a stop. As I think back, this was my biggest issue, however, I understand due to safety not wanting to have a new driver on neighborhood roads. However, this is what would stop me from giving the lesson an excellent. In conclusion, I would suggest the class to anyone who wants to learn how to drive a manual and who doesn't have access to anyone to teach them.

Then after much wasted time and frustration they only offered to partially refund our money. Very disappointing. My youngest of three had to endure this bias and unprofessional atmosphere this was my first experience with Jet and I would NOT recommend anyone use this school. Any other one but not Jet. It's a joke. Instructors were late told student take a ten minute break and they'd take twenty yet complain if the student needed to use bathroom or pause camera. Ridiculous inconsistent rules and blatant bias when interacting. Overall a disappointment !!! Will report to MVA as well.
