They are unfair and bad customer service don’t believe these good reviews. NEVER AGAIN go to the Anchorage one gave me better scores. BETTER and faster!
I would so dearly love to give a positive review, because Mrs. Ruth was so nice--but, in good conscience, I can't. Worst things first, during my very first drive with Mrs. Ruth, she spent the entire time staring at her phone. She was trying to figure out who'd bumped one of their cars in the parking lot, but that meant that I--someone with near-zero driving experience--was essentially driving completely unattended, because she wasn't paying attention. They were a nightmare in terms of communication. We didn't know when the zoom class was happening until about 4 hours before when we got an email about it--we asked why that was, they said that parents complained if they sent the email too early, which seems unlikely. I didn't even get the email at all because of an issue with the form, which they didn't tell me about until after the class. If my partner hadn't also been in the class, I would've missed this required lecture. Of course, other than the course requirement, I really didn't miss much from the lectures. Each lecture consisted mostly of Mrs. Ruth playing a pre-recorded video that she must have licensed from some other company. She would go out of her way to disable subtitles on the videos (making them harder to understand). One time the video was entirely in French, which she did not seem to think was an issue. Between videos she would ask questions, and we would have to text her the answers to prove we were paying attention. That'd be nice if the questions were answerable, but they were often vague and seemed to rely on mind-reading; one such question was "what must you always remember to do?" Can you guess what the answer is? Because if you didn't answer "leave space around your vehicle," you just failed buddy. The lectures were recorded so we could watch them at our leisure, which was nice. Unfortunately, one time the audio failed for half the lecture. We still had to do the homework, even though we had no way of knowing what she was saying. The entire course was a mismanaged, at times actively dangerous disaster. It breaks my heart to have to leave this review about someone who was so nice to me, but somebody needs to tell the truth.
I’ve definitely learned a lot from my classes here, and overall the instructors have been very helpful and informative. Although I hate to single out one of the instructors, I have not enjoyed any of my drives with Ms. Shannon, and in my experience, she seems to act in a significantly less calm and kind way than the other instructors. Additionally, I have found some of her directions to be confusing or misleading in some ways. My only other complaint with this driving school is that they don’t seem to communicate super well, and I often received links to the video lectures multiple days after when I expected to receive them. Everything else about this driving school is very good, and I have really enjoyed having Mrs. Ruth and Mr. Caesar as instructors.
The instructors are excellent teachers. They broke down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms, which made learning a breeze. They also were always encouraging and gave constructive feedback, helping to improve skills with each lesson. It was top-notch all the way, and highly recommend!
Really awesome instructors! Especially Mr. Caesar. Wish scheduling was communicated a little better. Also, sometimes instructors give conflicting feedback. I really enjoyed learning from Mrs. Ruth, Mr. Caesar, and Ms. Shannon! I would recommend this course to anyone who is struggling with their driving, anyone who wants to pass their road test, or anyone wants to become a better driver! I do not regret the time and money that I spent on this course. Worth every penny!
