Nydia is the reason I succeeded plain and simple. I already knew how to drive, but after not having…read moremy license for years, I had to take my road test again and parallel parking was the one thing I just could not get right. Nydia changed that completely. The way she teaches is on another level, clear, precise and tailored so it actually clicks. She's professional, patient and incredibly informative, but what really sets her apart is how she builds your confidence while she teaches. She doesn't just show you what to do, she makes sure you understand it and can do it on your own. Because of her, I can now parallel park perfectly every time. If you get Nydia as your instructor, you're in the best hands.

My son was signed up for the course that was supposed to have driving instruction but because of…read moreCovid it was only an online course and no driving instruction, but they charged the same price, so basically my son got no driving instruction and just some online class for the same price. If the owner gave a $&@& he would have given the kids an opportunity to get driving instruction once Covid restrictions lifted a month or two later. So it was basically instruct your own kids. My son failed his road test twice and I am no instructor, but I did my best. Owner just took the $ and ran!!

He was apparently let go then a new instructor took over.

Do we feel it was worth the money we paid, probably not. Still waiting on the completion certificate...
