Andy was a great instructor and helped me break a lot of my bad driving habits. He was very flexible in terms of scheduling dates for drives and tests. By taking this class I learned many useful tips about driving and the rules of the road. I had a great experience in this class and Andy is a great guy.

It was a great experience for me. Andy was really helpful and patient. He would help me notify me of my mistakes and what I need to do to get better. I have learned a lot from him on how to drive. He is also funny and very kind. And now I am sad that my time in his class is over. I wished it had lasted longer, but I will keep his teachings to my heart. Thank you Andy for everything. Also, I 100% recommend going here and if you hear how terrible it was here, just ignore it because it is not how it actually is.

Everybody's first day is nerve racking, but compared to the other driving ed places that I looked at, that this one was the better option. The homework was reading the chapters, and studying the numbers for the most part. And the driving was easy and Andy teaches you how and what to do, as well as some tips on driving and what to expect when you go to the dmv. Overall pretty good experience.

If I could give 0 starts, I would. Andy would constantly yell at me over not getting paperwork right. He never took the time to be patient with me and always belittled me. He only ever really showed us movies and videos and never took the time to explain things. He only likes you if you're pretty or popular. NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. Don't waist your money like I did.

Andy is really rad and cool. There's little to no reason to be nervous while driving with him. Andy makes sure that each student is prepared for their drivers test. I was further away from the standard driving route, but Andy still took the time to pick me up. I'm really glad I choose City-Wide Driving School over others in my area. Thank you, Andy!

An exceptional experience, you won't learn anything here without laughing first. Is an effective and lenient teacher with the ability to adapt to his students moods, which is crazy considering his age;
