Found Hammerly's Great NW Drivers and did not regret it. I signed up for the 8 lesson package. Greg doesn't just help with passing driver's tests, his tips and methods really focus on making you a great driver overall. He focuses strongly on being safe and provides tips and context for why we need to build certain driving habits. A holistic approach I really appreciated. An additional plus, he picks you up and you drive. No meeting up at an office which was extremely convenient for me. I highly recommend.

Our son passed, because he said, "I didn't even feel like I was under pressure of taking a test, mom. Steve made me feel at ease, like I was just going for a drive with a family member." When he walked out and introduced himself, and told my son, "You drive with your mind, but more importantly, with your heart," (something to that effect) I knew we were in good hands. When Steve gave feedback and praised me as a parent, and I learned a little about his background as a former trainer to law enforcement, we were blessed to meet Steve and have him part of our family's driving journey. Again, congratulations to our son Kobe!

I was in a photo enforcement class. The class was fine. However, the customer service was extremely…read morepoor. This business has an exclusive contract with the city to offer these courses. There were upwards of 80 people in my class. That's $10,000 in user fees for one class and you can't hire anyone to answer the business phone during business hours? ok. So, my calls were not answered, and my voicemail was not returned. This set a rude and unresponsive tone, and I felt shoved into their preferred mode of correspondence with zero choice. I drove 51 miles per hour; I didn't kill anyone! Every touchpoint with this company has been menacing and judgmental. Is that the culture that you're going for? Literally out to lunch - never answered the phone, even today! Poor follow through - did not return my voicemail. Finally, their notifications were incomplete. The email that I was supposed to receive 2 days prior with a link to register, did not include the link. Since you can only interact with them by their preferred method of communication, I emailed and had the misfortune of dealing with two people who have absolutely no commitment to let alone apparently any training in deescalation. I finally got the information that I needed. However, over the course of the correspondence I was judged, not heard, dismissed, sassed back, and ultimately threatened with retaliation. That's right this "customer service professional" took the time to get the last word and directly threaten me with retaliation. What assurance do I have that this person won't pursue further retaliation by losing my paperwork or "forgetting" to file it on time?

Loree, the owner of this driving "academy", is in desperate need of training relevant to business…read moreethics, among other things. She is unpleasant in general, questionable in her role as an "instructor", and unapologetic as well as unaccountable. After an incident in her class where my high school daughter and I were specifically singled out for harassment, Loree determined that my intention to reach out directly to ODOT was a "threat", and expelled my daughter (who had participated respectfully and had never missed a single class session or driving lesson) from her program. A legal challenge had to be made, and a complaint to ODOT filed. If you prefer to interact with a driving school that is ethical, with a strong customer service orientation and an eye towards treating students fairly above all, this is not the right driving "academy" for your family.

Unfortunately disappointing; while it did take Loreen (the owner) several days to pick up the…read morephone, that is not the most disappointing part of this review. While she may be an adequate "driving instructor," I don't believe that Loreen is necessarily at her best when she interacts with people. Especially when it involves taking accountability and apologizing. Loreen and I spoke on the telephone twice, for a length of time before coordinating dates/times that would best suit my daughters schedule and hers. After verbally discussing pricing and scheduling, a PayPal invoice was delivered to my email address. 1. The invoice was incorrect. When I telephoned Loreen, I asked her to please send a corrected invoice. She immediately countered with, "No, I didn't make an error. That is how much the driving lesson cost." Needless to say, the invoice was again emailed with the correct pricing. So YES, she did make an error and NO, she did not apologize. 2. An email with dates for the scheduled driving driving dates/times was to be emailed to my daughter. (I had placed them in my calendar as well). It was not emailed, even after calling twice to remind her. 3. Yesterday was suppose to be my daughters first driving lesson. At 10 minutes past the hour, no driving instructor had arrived. I telephoned Loreen, she said that she had no recollection of us speaking and that she certainly would not have scheduled driving instruction without payment. I DID pay, the same day that the invoice arrived, via PayPal. Which she discovered after looking at her payments. Her tone with me was condescending and rude. To finish out an otherwise long review; I understand that we all make mistakes. That life can be stressful and overwhelming. That being said, it would have been professional and humanly kind, for Loreen to apologize and make an attempt to remedy her error. Instead she has overbooked with other clients. After a couple telephone conversations, she is refunding me in cash today (I don't trust her to actually send a refund otherwise). People, integrity and kindness go a long way in this world. You will be pleasantly surprised how people lean into you, and are inspired by your light. Pay it forward here and there, and be kind. Take ownership if you have made a mistake and do your very best to remedy it. :-)

I had a deeply frustrating experience with advising and administrative handling at Portland State…read moreUniversity that resulted in serious academic and financial consequences. I clearly requested to enroll in online-only courses and to begin classes on time. However, I was not informed that classes had already started and was advised into at least one in-person course that directly conflicted with my stated needs. As a result of this situation, I lost my scholarship, received failing grades on my transcript for classes I should not have been enrolled in under those conditions, and was placed into healthcare-related enrollment that I did not want or intend to sign up for. When I raised these concerns, the response I received was that advising was "consistent with policy," without addressing the actual outcome or the discrepancy between what I requested and what occurred. I am now being held financially responsible for these charges, with the possibility of them being sent to collections, despite the fact that this situation stemmed from advising that did not align with my clearly stated requirements. From a student perspective, the issue is not whether internal procedures were followed--it is whether the guidance provided leads to accurate enrollment and protects students from avoidable harm. In my case, it did not. I strongly encourage prospective students to independently verify all advising information, especially regarding course format, enrollment timing, and associated obligations, to avoid experiencing similar outcomes.
