Unfortunately I can't give this guy negative stars, but i would if I could. This prehistoric man is…read moreill tempered, volatile and apoplectic, and honestly needs to retire or something. I had the misfortune of going through his program in 2024 and it was the worst experience ever. He doesn't teach you anything of importance, rather reads off the book for hours on end and shows you straight up gore, which I understand to scare young drivers to be safe and cautious, but I fear the message was lost. He would throw fits over every little thing, harass students and call police on them over minor things. God forbid you doodle (which for some reason he hates), or you glance at your phone, but he would have his loud ringtone "TNT" blaring every five seconds, and now I literally feel dread and misery anytime I hear that song now. If you love your kid, you won't put them through this. I'm pretty sure he's banned from teaching in my town because of his crazy freak out during my class where he screamed at us, and made students so afraid and upset they called their parents and who came in to sit in, along with the owner of the building to make sure he wasn't still being crazy. I can't believe he's still teaching out there somewhere.

He is a good instructor, but I feel he doesn't give constructive or much feedback. I would…read morerecommend him to people who know how to operate a vehicle already. He will you have doing multiple things at once but that is how driving is.

He was not only an excellent teacher, but also a fine human being showing the highest level of concern for her well being and providing the most important and beneficial instruction from all the sources she employed to learn how to drive.

I am deeply grateful to him and will recommend him highly and without reservation to anyone who wants to learn how to drive and avoid learning bad habits inadvertently from well meaning family members.

I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous when I gave $600 over the phone for five two-hour lessons…read more Luckily, this school is legitimate. Not only is it legitimate, but the lessons were extremely helpful. Paul was an excellent, kind, and professional instructor (he works for Steve, the owner of the company). One thing I would like to see: confirmation receipts in the email, as well as text alerts for driving lessons. That being said: they will call when they arrive. The car is superior to most other driving schools' cars in Reno (it's a Suburu Outback with all the safety features). It has active warning systems, is probably better in the event of an emergency crash (hopefully doesn't happen), and is comfortable. I'd recommend these people strongly. Oh, and they'll actually pick up their phone after 4pm. That's a nice touch - which is why I went with them, versus their competitor who lied on their website and said they were open until five.

My problem came afterwards, when I repeatedly contacted the school, asking them to send evidence of my passing to the DMV.

So now I must fax my own copy of my Certificate to them.

One-on-one lessons with John were the perfect step. His approach is all about efficiency and storytelling, which I found to be an excellent balance of pragmatic and creative. The one-on-one format allowed me to get the most tailored information- nothing was review for me, but, rather, my classes contained a personally-tailored firehose of new and relevant information! I especially recommend his class if you shoot with any kind of mirrorless Fujifilm camera. That's his specialty, and fortunately, what I shoot with as well. You can't beat expert advice with the very tool you use the most. All in all, if you're looking for the next step to take to improve your skill, a class with John is a great investment.
