Learning to drive with Nathan G. was a genuinely positive experience. Navigating the streets of West Seattle can be challenging, especially with my anxiety, but Nathan’s calm, patient, and supportive approach made all the difference. He struck a perfect balance—correcting my mistakes with firmness but never making me feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Nathan took the time to clearly explain each maneuver, emphasizing good technique and helping me refine my skills. His personable nature and occasional quips helped ease my nerv... read more
Amazing experience. Had Marty as my instructor he was very calm and assisted in helping me with my drives, Even with my anxiety, and not much experience on the road. He assisted in to help me pass my drives while also staying calm if I made a mistake while driving. He helped correct my mistakes and taught lessons.
I decided to go with this driving school for my knowledge and skills tests after reading the positive experiences people have had with them. Both times I was able to schedule a test within a few days of purchase. The knowledge test was a breeze, at their classroom I was able to take on my smartphone and passed. Despite having years of driving experience abroad I was still anxious about taking the drive test. Mainly due to being in a country with different traffic laws but also having dealt with some very unpleasant driving e... read more
Defensive Driving was a dream to partner with! Teaching a teenage boy to drive can DRIVE a parent over the edge😬 However Defensive Driving did a solid job prepping their students online and on the road. Lincoln was our instructor for our 5 drives he was calm and direct with explaining any mistakes made by his students. Lincoln then would make them redo their errors but he encouraged and instilled confidence during those corrections. I would highly recommend Defensive Driving to families!
Pricey for sure, but a really effective way to learn all the things you need. You go on 5 instructor led drives, and take about 15 online sessions (2hours each) with a mid term test and a final test. There’s additional things like a collision avoidance course, and a sim training program. The instructors are well trained and know how to teach you and are very helpful.
