What do the students say?
In the news:Licensed and finding more freedom in the driver’s seat an article in the Gazette, August 8, 2007.
- It was very helpful. I learned a lot and the method of teaching was very innovative. The slides for every unit and the Jeopardy games helped us remember a lot of important pointers for new drivers. Definitely better than a straight lecture.
- It isn't even boring and you learn a lot.
- You learn all the basics of the road in a fun way.
- Many of my friends said that their Driver Ed class was So Boring. I had fun with this class, and I would like other people to have the same experience. Also, the instructor was so good about involving us (a deaf student).
- More activities for different learning styles. Best experience in a classroom in a while.
- It's fun and it doesn't bore you to death like the other Driver's Ed schools.
- I would recommend this course to a friend because I feel that our instructor makes us feel confident that we can do it.
- Good price for great instruction, the classrooms have nice chairs and mobile tables. The instruction style is very engaging. He has a schedule on the board, he integrates personal stories and teaching and we always receive unit packets.
