Took the 30 mins practice session followed by the road test. Have to say that the practice session was pretty much a lazy drive-around.

Walter is an exceptional driving instructor! His patience, expertise, and encouraging approach made learning to drive a seamless and enjoyable experience. He took the time to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner, and his constructive feedback helped me improve with each lesson. I passed my test with confidence thanks to his guidance. If you're looking for a reliable and supportive instructor, look no further than Walter. Highly recommended! 5/5 stars
Today, I finished my skill test at the Defensive Driving School of Redmond, and it was a great session from beginning to end. Walter Avillanoza, my instructor, was outstanding in all aspects. He was patient, encouraging, and took the time to teach all of the details of safety driving moves, ensuring that I completely understood them. His composed and upbeat manner made the lessons productive and stress-free, which was precisely what I required. The learning experience was well-structured, with a strong emphasis on safety an... read more
I cleared my skills test a couple of days ago. Mr. Walter from Redmond branch is very professional, patient, knowledgeable and expert. He can highlight your strengths and weaknesses in the first lesson. This is useful in your daily practice. Thank you Walter for all your guidance and support. Highly recommended!!
I've been driving with Walter all summer and prior to meeting him I really struggled with other schools, but DDS and Walter made learning to drive incredibly easy. If you have anxiety, DDS with Walter is for you. He made the entire experience easy to learn with succinct lessons and interesting conversations. Walt was able to make the entire experience easy to learn with his common sense teaching methods.
