I don't understand why this Charlie Ricco dude has so many positive reviews. Are you guys being paid to mention him in these 5 star reviews or are these all just fake reviews written by him? I took one lesson with him, and he was very snarky and sarcastic, and I don't mean that in a good way. He kept saying things along the lines of "What, you've never seen anybody drive before?", basically being really condescending and making me feel stupid. He also accused me of lying about having driven before the lesson, and when I tried to prove I did (for context last time I drove prior to the lesson was three months ago), he said something snarky and condescending in response. On top of that, he thought it would be appropriate to soft launch his political beliefs and basically out himself as being pro-ICE while going over the road test. No matter where you stand politically, that's just unnecessary and inappropriate. Don't listen to all these 5 star reviews mentioning Charlie Ricco, I'm convinced they're all fake.

I loved the lessons and classes so much. Instructors are very interactive and get to the point and are very in depth with the lessons. If I were to recommend an online teacher it would be Crystal Savio and for an in person driving instructor I would recommend Charlie Ricco. They are amazing teachers and don’t stress you out when giving feedback about driving. They make the classes stress free and calm throughout the entire thing, even the highway lesson. 10/10 would recommend

The Next Street has helped me very much through this process. I have learned a lot of things about driving and it also helped me past my permit test. Sara has been very helpful and has made this experience very nice. Sara was able to sign me up for my license test during class. So she made the process easy and simple. I am definitely ready to take my driving test!

Really fun! Sara is a great teacher. I learned a lot and I really like how I could sign up for my driving test right away. Also the 4 hour classes go by surprisingly quickly.

Run, fast and far. While the classroom experience was excellent the road lessons were a nightmare. If you have an inexperienced nervous / anxious driver looking for instruction go elsewhere. Too long of an issue to drag out here, but if the instructor doesn't take the time to familiarize himself with the student's previous experiences well enough to avoid a "set-up to fail" scenario and then blames the student for being "reckless and dangerous" then in my view that person should not be instructing. And when you get "management" involved, their solution is to remove themselves from the situation by deciding that they will no longer provide instruction under the premise of "safety". In my opinion couldn't be more useless, and I would never recommend them to anyone.
