Great school! Easy to work with! Our son was picked up from ERHS, dropped off at home, passed his road test, and was issued his REAL ID drivers test all in house. Received the AAA course cert for insurance purposes. Would recommend.

The instructors care about the students but the communication could be better.

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.
