We had an excellent experience with Street Smart Driving Academy, especially with Lolita Smart as the behind-the-wheel instructor for all three of my teenage daughters.
Each of my daughters said the same thing: Lolita has a special gift for communicating with new drivers. She creates a calm, supportive environment with no pressure, which immediately puts students at ease behind the wheel. Her teaching style builds confidence while helping teens develop safe driving habits.
Even though all three had different experience levels, each of them learned new skills and became noticeably better drivers in a short amount of time. That consistency says a lot about her ability as an instructor.
I highly recommend Lolita and Street Smart Driving Academy to any parent looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging driving instructor. In fact, I already know who I'll be calling in six years when it's time for my youngest to learn to drive. Thank you, Lolita, for doing such a fantastic job!

I highly recommend Street SMART Driving Academy! Mr. and Mrs. Smart are so informative, helpful, patient, trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. They really go above and beyond to help families through the driving process. Both of my daughters went through their behind the wheel program, and both girls really enjoyed driving with both of them. My younger daughter's driver education process was a bit more involved with some misinformation we received from the DMV, but Mr. and Mrs. were both advocates for her and helped us navigate the process so we could get through the program and get her license. They are just really good people who enjoy what they do and helping teens get their licenses. We don't have any more kids, but if we did, we would definitely go to them again.

My daughter was very nervous about driving. When it came time to do the BTW wheel course, we were so glad we went with Street Smart. The instructor was very nice and my daughter felt so comfortable that it really helped her relax and become more comfortable driving. They came highly recommended and I could not agree more.

From start to finish, our experience working with Street SMART Driving Academy was outstanding. Mrs. Smart was a very kind and patient instructor and my daughter's driving skills and confidence improved rapidly under her direction. Communication was excellent, as was the scheduling process.
Thank you Street SMART Driving Academy! We look forward to working with you again in the future!!

We recently had the pleasure of enrolling our teenager in Street SMART Driving Academy, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The instructors were not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also patient and supportive, which was especially important for a teen driver.
The curriculum was comprehensive, covering all aspects of safe driving, and the practical lessons were tailored to my teenager's skill level.
Moreover, they were efficient and accommodating, making the process smooth and hassle-free. Overall, I highly recommend to any parent looking for a top-notch driving school for their teenager.

My daughter just finished BTW with Mr. and Mrs. Smart and I can’t say enough great things about them. They worked with us on scheduling and they made my daughter feel comfortable and confident while driving with each of them. They made sure she was exposed to many different driving experiences. If you are looking for a team to get your teen ready for solo driving, I highly recommend you contact the Street Smart Driving.

My son completed the Behind the Wheel program with Street SMART Driving Academy and we were very happy with the program. From the introductory conversation between the company, the parents and the kids to the final follow up, Lolita and her husband were fantastic. The price was competitive, the hours were flexible, and the communication (which I think is key) was always top notch. I would recommend this Academy. Happy and safe kids and happy parents.
