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.
After taking several practice classes with my instructor Walter Avillanoza, I went for my skills test including warm-up at Redmond office. I had a wonderful experience with my instructor. He was very kind and exceptionally calm and helped me become a confident driver thanks to the defensive driving skills he taught me in addition to his positive attitude. During the warmup portion, he made sure I was comfortable and at ease and he also helped me comprehensively practice for the test and I was happy to pass! I highly recommen... read more
I took the skill test with a 30-minute warm-up, and it was very much worth it! Anna did a really great job of answering my questions during the warm-up, and she had a very calm voice, which helped ease my nervousness. For those who are coming outside the US, I highly recommend that you take the course with the 30 mins warm up or take up a class with this school for best practices. I would definitely have my wife enroll to this school once she is ready to take up her driving lessons.
