1st Learn To Drive Southeast Portland, Portland

I signed up for the accelerated course, I learned a lot! My teacher Andrew was awesome and was passionate about teaching the material and helping students pass the course. On my practice drives, I liked and worked well with all of my instructors: Christian, Steve, and Chad. I would recommend this course to all new drivers, especially those who want to get drivers Ed done in a shorter amount of time.

Jeremy was my instructor for this course. He is a good teacher, and while he is strict, he is strict for a good reason. Ive found that what he taught me sticks, and while the instructor Magic was the one to pass me on my final drive, I could recommend Jeremy enough. 9/10 teacher

Great experience driving with Vince as helped me overcome some of the anxiety and apprehension Ive been experiencing about being on the road. I would recommend him especially for younger and or inexperienced drivers. He was really considerate ,helpful and knowledgable and patient. I contacted about 7 different schools and this company was also the the first to get respond back with an opening which was another plus.

Can t recommend this driving school highly enough for my fellow late bloomers. I ve lived in public transit heavy cities all my life so never had a license, and driving anxiety was really getting in my way. Took adult driving lessons with this company, with Scott as my instructor, and honestly it completely changed my relationship to driving! Scott was direct, patient, and knew how to get me over the edges when I was panicking. I went from barely being able to drive due to panic attacks to feeling at ease on the road & with a license in just over a month.

My driving lesson with Scott was amazing! He was very professional, and was on time to the lesson. He was patient with me and very attentive. He explained what would be expected of me on the upcoming skills test, and also helped ease my nervousness as he calmly guided me through the entire lesson! Id definitely recommend enrolling with him for driving lessons!

1st learn to drive was super helpful and very worth it. At times it may seem annoying and like you want to quit but the benefits at the end are worth it. Jeremiah was a great instructor as he keeps things light with his voice impressions. He may seem intimidating at first but he just wants to help you be a safe driver. Do 1st learn to drive

Good course. Lesson teachers were thorough and very committed to producing good drivers. Drive instructors were also committed and gave useful feedback. A bit direct at times, but you have to be to properly teach this kind of thing. Had Jeremy as my drive instructor and Steve as the in class teacher, both were great at teaching. The one thing was that communicating with the office was pretty terrible. They almost never responded back to email, and call system gets automatically put into an email format, which is really annoying. But you basically dont ever need to talk to the office to go through the course, so it wasnt a giant problem. Overall, its a great program.

Took three 2 hours lessons with Scott who taught me almost everything I needed and I got the licence after that. Thank you very much !

As someone who spent the first 22 years of their life in school getting various degrees, and also been a teaching assistant in grad school, I recognize great pedagogy when I see it. And Scott absolutely has it. I had six 2-hr lessons with him over the last two weeks, and passed my behind the wheels test this morning. The notes Scott provided on the first day had concisely worded facts about driving in Oregon, how to execute turns, merges etc., and also on how to sign up for testing appointments...
Read full review. These notes were really useful, and reviewing them before my lessons and the test definitely helped me remember details I would ve otherwise forgotten. During the lessons Scott was basically the dad figure who ought to have taught me how to drive when I was 16. He was calm, patient, and very cognizant of my strong and weak points while driving. He basically had a lesson plan going all throughout my classes with him, so I was able to review my misses and mistakes from each class, and never made them again in subsequent lessons. 1st Learn To Drive is incredibly lucky to have Scott as an instructor with them, as is anyone like me who has had the chance to learn under him. He has my absolute and unequivocal recommendation to anyone wanting to not only learn how to drive, but also learn how to pass the test.

Over the entire course I knew mostly what I needed (because I already read the book), but they showed me in more detail what was required. This course was worth its time because it was readily available at school locations, although I was very annoyed because my driving instructor was absent about 50% and he was one of the best there. At one point I was rescheduled because a unknown reason. My designated instructor was one of the better ones, and actually teaches by the book and common sense, but...
Read full review half the other instructors were not just teaching from the book but by what made them comfortable, Id get marked down for not driving with habits matching an instructor, even if their habits were unhealthy. The most helpful instructor here was Sam, Vince, and Chad on my Final Test Drive. Also they gave the students money to leave a review, they were not bribing for good ratings, just reviews. TLDR: Go to PCC, they got better classes. EDIT: Now that I look back on this class it was missing many important things that were not included which now that I have to learn later down the road (pun not intended) makes me angry and feel like I wasted my money.
