    I received my driving permit back in May 2019. I was eager to begin a whole new experience in my…read morelife. The next step in my driving journey was to find a good driving school that would not only help me gain experience in driving but for the instructors to also have fun with the students while driving at the same time. That's when my Dad stumbled upon A-Hero Driving School. At first glance on the website, I already knew that it was a good school so I agreed on letting my Dad sign me up for this school. It turned out that we were right the whole time. A-Hero Driving School consists of instructors that will correct you on the spot whenever you make a mistake, give you useful tips for different scenarios in driving, provide quality training practice, and have fun with you during your lesson. Making mistakes while driving is normal, especially if the person is a new and young driver who just received his/her permit. Exposing those mistakes and correcting them on the spot is critical for future driving as it helps to prevent those same mistakes from happening again in the future. A-Hero Driving School does just that. Its instructors will pay close attention to how you drive and will spot any mistakes you make while on the road. They will then proceed to advise you on those mistakes and give you tips on how to correct the mistakes. This will help to improve the driving skills of the new driver and help them to become a safer driver in the future. In addition to correcting mistakes, the instructors of A-Hero Driving School also give tips and tricks along with the rules for different scenarios of driving, especially if you are a first-time driver. This will prove to be very useful for the driver as it helps him/her develop the skills necessary to be a safe driver on the roads. It will also allow the new driver to make the most of the roads in order to get to his/her destination quickly. Not only will the instructors give you tips and tricks, but they will also allow you to ask any clarifying questions and will not get frustrated even if you have a lot of questions to ask. They make you feel safe about driving and will adapt to how you learn in order to provide a more effective lesson. Quality is better than quantity. That's my model for everything I associate with. A-Hero Driving School provides students with high-quality lessons that allow for a safe and comfortable driver. They restrict their instructors to a maximum of only three 2-hour classes a day. This ensures that the instructor doesn't get bored or less alert from teaching too many lessons in a day and provide a lower-quality training session later in the day. The school also makes sure that an instructor is not over-booked in order to prevent the instructor from getting stressed out during a regular driving lesson. Sometimes, students might need a different method of teaching if they have conditions like dyslexia. The instructors of A-Hero Driving School will happily adapt to make sure those students can properly learn the rules of the road. These examples show that they take high-quality classes very seriously and are eager to engage with the student in order to effectively teach them the rules and tips of driving. In life, it is crucial for a person to have a perfect balance between work and fun. Having fun is important as it can help boost a person's focus and judgment and allow them to learn better. The instructors at A-Hero Driving School are not only there to teach the students about the rules of driving, but they are also there to have fun and meaningful talks to students and engage them in conversations about different subjects not related to driving. This prevents the students from getting bored and not being able to take in the material being taught to them when serious matters come around. The instructors are also very thoughtful of the students. They take the casual conversations with students to heart and enjoys talking to students about the things they enjoy. My instructor, Instructor Sabaoon Rahimi, knew that I had a passion for aviation and wanted to become an airline pilot when I am older. So, after a few driving lessons, he bought me a model airplane as a present because he knew I love having those airplanes around my house. The airplane didn't cost too much but it was the thought that counts and for that, I am really grateful. Overall, A-Hero Driving School is the best driving school that money can buy. They make sure that the students receive the lessons that they need in order to drive and ensure that the students understand the material being taught. They also make sure the instructors are in their best condition in order to make sure that they stay focused during the lesson and that lessons are given at the highest quality possible. At the same time, the instructors are devoted to the lesson making sure that the student takes in a lot of the material being taught by having fun with the student to ensure a good balance.

I explained that their email was misleading, it didn't say anything about needing to order it. The only option was for me to pay them $40 to express mail it. Wasn't happy with this as I felt I got swindled, but I paid it. 2. My son didn't pass his first permit test so I had to cancel the behind the wheel that I had previously booked. I canceled right away in the DMV parking lot with 24 hour notice. They tried to charge me $189 for the cancellation! The reason I booked the lesson before him passing the test was because their availability is very poor. I didn't want my son to wait several weeks to get behind the wheel once he passed the test and the day after his test was their only availability for weeks, so I had to take it. I'm cancelling the 6 hour driving lessons and going with a local company down the street that has better availability and better customer service. I'm not giving this company any more of my money. I will update this review once the refund is processed.

I have been driving 35 years and it was instructive to me (we all might benefit from a refresher!). Bobby was patient, calm but firm, and the course was well planned to slowly increase the driving difficulty and put the learner in different situations in a safe manner. Can't say enough. 10 stars out of 5.

Bill was very realistic and upfront at the start, that I would learn how to get feom point A to point B, but it might not be pretty! By the end of the lesson, I felt reasonably confident in my newfound skill. Bill gave me the Zen-like attitude and skills necessary to instantly recognize what was going on whenever the car did not respond as intended, and to take emotions out of the problem-solving process. These things can be so hard when you inevitably stall and anger other drivers---something everybody does when learning to drive a manual. A few weeks after my lesson, I ended up going on a fun drive through the European countryside to a destination not easily reachable by public transit. The guy at the rental counter, seeing I was American, tried to give me an automatic and I had to correct him. I did stall a few times, including while inching forward in highway traffic, and was able to stay cool and collected. As promised, I got from Point A to Point B! Someday, I want my next car to be something sporty with a stick shift. I am most impressed by the psychological skills Bill taught me in this context. These aren't skills I would have learned from simply asking a friend or parent to teach me. If I had teens, I would absolutely want Bill to teach them the driving skills that *will* save their life--a purpose he is passionate about from his previous job as a cop. Thanks Bill for teaching me a skill I will enjoy for years to come!

They demand etiquette, a demeanor of servitude towards each other through acts of kindness and mindfulness with a calm and loving reverence for the halau, peers, teachers and kumu. We are grateful to have them in our community and for the opportunity to see them in their element.
