1st Learn To Drive Corporation Southeast Portland, Portland

Scott is a great teacher. He is calm, and clear, and confident. He is honest and prepares his students to pass the test and drive safely. I enjoyed learning from him and have gained much experience from our drives.

I had Jeremy as an instructor and at first I thought that he was really scary and wasn t a good instructor. By the end, I realized that he was just looking out for us and trying to make us better drivers, which I think he really succeeded at. I learned a lot more than I thought that I would and had a great time. The drive routes got a lot easier and I feel ready for the final. If you are looking to become a safe driver, this is the course for you.

Honestly at first I thought this school was great but towards the end it was a little irritating that we were forced to reschedule 2 of our drives because another parent had prior obligations but yet they made it clear when you signed up when your drives would be. Second, my daughter finished her class in August. She didn t turn 16 until October but had to wait out the 6 months which put us to the beginning of November. I got a call right after my daughter s birthday (2.5 months after the class...
Read full review ended) telling me that she has a bunch of assignments that need to be turned in before she can get the card to take to the DMV. Multiple times I stated that we had it set up for a specific date to get her license (when the 6 months was up) two days before we are to head to the DMV I get a call in the evening (almost 5pm) stating that I was good to go as soon as I uploaded one more thing. I stated again that we needed everything due having to be at the DMV again was told everything would be fine. I upload the document and the. Check later in the evening and it states that the card has been mailed!!! How and I good to go if I can print it out or pick it up. Called at 7:30 am next morning left message 3pm I call again and finally get a call back a few minutes later told there is nothing they can do sorry gives me the managers number. Call to speak to the manager who is obviously at home with her kid screaming in the background telling me it s all my daughters fault and the is nothing to do she doesn t care either. They have the worst customer service/communication. If I am paying $600 for a service there is an expectation of how things should be handled. I had originally recommended this to other parents and work partners but after this I sent an email out to my work partners letting them know what happened to ensure that our clients don t get treated like this. There are other schools around where you will actually get your moneys worth along with being treated with respect.

I had 3 appointments with Scott to prepare for my driving test (which I just passed yesterday!). I am 42 yo and held a fear of driving for a long time. I was a passenger in an accident years ago and though I ve had a desire to drive, my fear had kept me stuck. Scott made me instantly comfortable. He provided clear instruction, was encouraging, but also firm in his delivery. He helped reframe the way I thought about being on the road and built my confidence in a practical way. I felt safe and secure...
Read full review with him as my instructor and knew he wouldn t put us in danger. I am blown away that I have finally conquered this long standing fear and I am so grateful I got Scott as my instructor. Scheduling was easy, appointments were on time and it was completely worth the financial investment. I highly recommend 1st Learn to Drive and Scott. I didn t think I would be ready to take my test so quickly going into this and am amazed that within a month, I am a licensed driver!

Scott is a wonderful instructor. I had been procrastinating getting my license for the longest time due to having a lot of anxiety about driving. He instantly put me at ease and was very thorough and helpful. I never felt unsafe when driving with him, and I passed my test after 3 lessons!

I had a great experience with 1st Learn To Drive! I started with almost no prior experience and poor self-confidence. My instructor, Scott, excellently explained the theory and was calm and understanding during all the drives I had with him. I passed my test after 3 2-hour lessons with Scott that occurred within 1.5 months. Lessons are 100% worth it! Ive certainly became a more confident driver and am not anxious anymore about driving. I highly recommend Scott and 1st Learn To Drive!

VINCE!!! We truly got our moneys worth with this one. Every drive day I d be jumping up and down, ready to learn how to drive with Vince in the passenger seat. Please give him a papaya once your course is over, he loves those. I knew I would never crash with him as my instructor.

VINCE He was amazing and I had the best experience. He deserves a raise. A big one. I looked forward to my drives every time because he was so funny and good at teaching me. I laughed so much driving with Vince. I felt comfortable driving with Vince. He corrected my mistakes but not meanly. Remember to give him papaya when you take your final!!!! Thank you Vince!

Both driving and classroom instructors are really great and are willing to help you to pass this course. I had Anne as my driving instructor and she was fantastic, very chill and would let you know if you made a mistake but wasnt harsh about it. Chad was fun to learn from and certainly does his job well

i highly recommend 1st learn to drive. Arona cool instructor he is back. Im appointment with him 2months before, he help me get my drive license . Thanks for everything. I had good time
