We chose this driving school after a lot of recommendations from parents of our daughters friends. We are thoroughly disgusted by the instructor, named Jordan, that my daughter had. The first time she was behind the wheel he just expected her to know everything. She was very cautious at times and he got on her for that. She had never driven around a round about, and he just expected her to know how to do it. He just made her feel stupid. During her drives they drove to his house and the kids waited atleast 15 minutes each day for him while he went inside and ate. My daughter said one day when she was driving he sat there picking his nose and ears and burping -
just being gross. Very unprofessional. Absolutely unacceptable. She said he acted like he wanted ro be the cool teacher instead of making the kids feel comfortable. The first day she drove she was in class for 4 hours and then drove 2 hours straight. That was just too much at one time to get these kids to learn to drive safely. They were in class 7 days total, had quizzes and tests every day and they wanted all of their driving and observations done by that time. There were certain "drives" they were supposed to do each day. On the day she was supposed to do freeway it was sprinkling, so he did a review drive and said they would do freeway driving the next time. Well the next time they did the review drive again. I am positively certain by their way of doing things: charging $300/ 7 days just to hurry them through and give them their permit is causing so many of the accidents we've seen this summer. We feel like all they care about is the money. These kids are not being prepared properly and it's causing a lot of unneeded stress for the child and parents. Not every kid is raised on a farm driving trucks and 4 wheelers. I think a whole lot more thought needs to go into this. There are other instructors there to choose from, but we didn't know one from the other. Maybe we just had a really bad experience, but hopefully you can learn from ours. Thankfully she has a grandpa who used to be a driving instructor who is helping with this situation. Too bad we couldn't have just used him and avoided all of the unnecessary experiences our dsughter had.
