It was a pleasure working with the whole team. I first met Manny over the phone who communicated several times to make sure our schedule worked. My son had the opportunity to practice with all of the drivers. April is absolutely phenomenal. She is patient, kind, nurturing and honest. She helped to boost my son's confidence and with that his driving improved. She showed him all the techniques he needed to pass his driving test.
My son also feels comfortable driving on the road. We also loved the fact that they are always on time. If you are scheduled for 2 hours of driving, she allows him to drive the total number of hours. If I were to give them a score for overall performance, it would be a 10/10. Thank you for working with my son.

First of all, I want to thank Manny from Alert Driving School for helping me to get my license. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have passed the road test. He is a kind person who took me step by step and didn't pressure me when I made a mistake. If I made a mistake, he would ask me to pull over and explain what the mistake was and go through with me how I could improve on it. Manny showed me all the right ways on how to drive safely and made me feel comfortable in areas where I would feel uncomfortable. He raised my confidence in driving and taught me what to do and what not to do. I am thankful for what he has taught me, and I will refer him to friends and family.

Manny was always calm and serious without being intimidating. I felt the need for more practice. My input was encouraged, and upon any errors, he questioned where I thought I had gone wrong rather than instantly telling me. I would recommend him to anyone.

The instructor was mean and from every little mistake I made he would curse, he was yelling and none professional. I wouldn't recommend it.
