I really thank my instructor German Yuen for helping me in learning driving skills . more

MY daughter had a great experience with this Drivers education class in the class room and behind the wheel. Jim the instructor made my daughter feel confident in her abilities to drive. I would recommend this school to anybody that wants there teens to learn to be a safe driver. The administration office was great as well. McKenzie and Nick. They were very responsive to anything that we needed. more

Tyson at the South Everett location provided excellent instruction. 4/14/2016

I am writing regarding the drivers training provided to my son. Even though my son was not able to get a great deal of time behind the wheel outside of class, he was treated with patience and respect. The suggestions provided were helpful and the overall experience was encouraging and positive. more

Ten Years Since My Driver's Ed Class, I've Got Mine Thanks to Defensive Driving School! 2/29/2016

It brings me great joy to finally pass both my knowledge and skills test, thanks to Defensive Driving School in Seattle! My instructor was Bryan, and every time I had lessons with him, I felt like I'm more confident behind the wheel and each lesson was very positive. Back when I was 16, I didn't feel the need to practice behind the wheel due to options of public transportation offered by my community college. Now, nearly ten years later, after just taking six lessons from here, I finally passed my skills test and have done it! I accomplished this with just the school's lessons, since neither myself or my brother currently own a car at our apartment! Thank you so much for being so accessible in the U District, and offering such great service for people like myself! more

My son passed his driving test with flying colors 2/29/2016

My son went to Defensive Driving School this summer and he really enjoyed his classes. He spent two weeks taking classes and was there everyday. Some of his friends from school attended and he also made some new friends, he had a lot of fun but also retained a lot of knowledge. Two days ago my son passed his driving test and is now a licensed driver. They give their students a lot of great tips and a lot of written practice so they can go home and practice on their own. As a parent, safety is my biggest concern and my son is a cautious driver thanks to Defensive Driving School, I would definitely recommend them. more

Mercer Island has mostly poor instructors 2/19/2016

I never write reviews, but there are instructors at the MI location that are far too emotional and should not be in a field that involves teaching. One in particular ridiculed my daughter after a drive and had her in years and then she blamed ME for her poor driving habits. That was on her 3rd drive. This instructor was extremely unprofessional and made the entire class a nightmare. I also believe they are over critical in the driving test. My daughter failed the MI driving test and the next day we went to Bellevue and got a near perfect score. The only positive thing going for MI is an older gentleman instructor. Unfortunately the other instructors were horrible. RESPONSE FROM Defensive Driving School: Kris, I'm disappointed that we didn't meet your expectations. While I'm glad you found one of our instructor's good, you clearly didn't like the style of some others. In order to get the most out of our course, we recommend 2 hours of weekly practice with a parent and it seems there was a disconnect on our expectations vs the practice that given. I can see that the first exam taken was missed by 2 points and she clearly did much better on her last attempt. We wish you and your daughter nothing but the best. more
