Zach is a great instructor with care for his students. He also tells some great stories and does cartwheels or something

From start to finish, my experience with Driving Right Training School was awesome. Tia in the office was so friendly in helping me get a test scheduled quickly and Claudia made the road test as stress free as possible! I highly recommend Driving Right Training School if you are looking for a seamless road testing experience.

My son just completed segment 1 and loved having Ahmed for his driving instructor! He also enjoyed class time with Ahmed and Zack. Fabulous experience for us! My son will return for segment 2 in 3 months.

Mike was absolutely terrible, my gf took a test with him for starters he was all smiles when I got out of the car but once he saw my gf was black it quickly turned into a straight face, he was very impatient with her and rushed her along the parking portion, insisted I stayed at the church and sit in one of the cars they provide which wasn't warmed up and key east left with car, during the drive he was touching her legs saying she needed to "go faster" which him even touching her is inappropriate let alone Covid restrictions, he kept grabbing the steering wheel and made her pull over on the side of the highway and wouldn't let her move until she answered his questions.
Which unless it an emergency stoping on the highway is hazardous. Claimed she was a habitual speeder and was hostile towards me when I asked him to elaborate, all in all this place is a scam took my money just to flunk her and didn't even offer to give discount if we returned. Do not go here.
