If your teenager has signed up for in-person driving instruction sessions, pray you do not get a certain instructor. (Will not mention by name here in a public forum, but a complaint will be filed with the school in the morning.) Instructor was very rude, disrespectful, made my daughter very uncomfortable. I would think, an instructor with an adult maturity level, would be understanding and supportive. Instead of immediately criticizing a new driver here to learn, by sternly asking things like "do you have a medical condition? Are you deaf?" and "are you still asleep? Still half-awake?". So condescending and berating right off the bat, that she was distraught and nervous and probably led to some mistakes. Like not noticing a pothole in the road and getting yelled at for it. So overall, a humiliating experience from an instructor who I would think, would have experience and empathy working with young drivers. Being paired with this instructor would not only be a horrible learning experience, but the demeanor towards students is distracting, and could lead to unsafe driving situations, endangering not only the student/instructor, but endangering other drivers as well. I would not feel safe with my teen in a car with this instructor.
This is frustrating, as this is her third driving session with the school, and her previous two sessions were with very helpful, very friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable instructors. Read Less
