My eldest daughter took driving lessons from him in 2016, and While she learned a lot, she had some concerning experiences. He made multiple comments about how "girls" aren't good at this. Also, Chuck had road rage at other drivers, opening up the window and yelling at people from his passenger seat, while my daughter was in the driver's seat. It was not the behavior model I expected for my kid. I was going to overlook it because she did learn a lot, and I thought maybe, if he was vaccinated, he might be interested in driving with my twins because they are vaccinated too. If they were all vaccinated, it should be safe for them to drive together, masked, with the windows open, right? So I emailed him ask if he was vaccinated and if he was interested, and he was toxic from the very first response. So, I guess that really is who he is. And my kids will just be driving with mom and dad rather than being subjected to his anger.

Scheduling was wonderful and very flexible, that is why I am giving two stars. My daughter had an awful experience as did a friend of hers. He was very impatient and sexist. He even told my daughter parallel parking is much easier for males. Inexcusable in my opinion. I cannot believe I allowed my daughter to be with this man alone. When I chose this place for her, I believed she was with someone who could be trusted. It saddens me to say the least.

I've debated leaving a review for some time now but I ultimately decided that I wouldn't want someone else to have the same experience that I did. Chuck will teach you many tricks when it comes to driving and what you need to know on the road but his people skills need some serious work. I had a lot of anxiety around driving as I'm sure most people do. My first driving lesson I was very nervous and it was only made worse with Chuck's temper. An example of this was when I didn't understand what he was explaining so I expressed that and rather than taking the time to explain a simple thing in a different way which most teachers would he responded by sighing, raising his voice and repeating the same thing over and over again then continued to tell me how he was getting frustrated with me. This is only one of many awful interactions. With the combination of Chuck's temper, borderline sexist comments and lack of patience...I would not recommend this driving course to anyone. ESPECIALLY if you have anxiety.

Very educational course. Chuck goes over things that other courses don't offer. Understanding of schedule changes, good honest people!
