I loved the school. It gave me the high-paying job that I otherwise wouldn't have had today. It was…read morethe first school I went to where I realized that coasting on pure talent wasn't enough (and I had plenty of that, but I only need to watch how my cousins were doing in school to figure out much of a difference the environment makes). If it weren't for the sheer amount of peer pressure to do well and excel, I would have never bothered to work hard to excel and would probably be competing with high school graduates for burger-flipping jobs. I learned a really important concept while in high school: academic learning is an abstraction for success. While other reviewers complain that the narrow focus on academic excellence was technically useless, it prepared me to minimize-maximize my priorities for success. By re-abstracting the real, working world as a bunch of test-taking and BSing, it's helped me on my race towards the top. Mission is a great example of a Tiger Mother school, and I'd say that beating the excellence out of me worked wonders. It's a trial by fire, and I've suffered more than my share of breakdowns during my low points here, but overall, no pressure, no diamonds (Thanks Mr. Greene for the quote). If I weren't here, I'd just be dinosaur poop. Highlights: -Academic Challenge club (Without it, I would never be indirectly mentioned in the #National_Olympiads section in the Mission San Jose High School wiki) -Teachers: Chaney-Aiello, Geers, Geschke, Lindsey, Greene, Richards, Jaeger, Ishimine, especially Payette and Howell, you have all been the best teachers I know. Hopefully one day I will be able to pass on the light that you all have passed onto me. -Peers. I'm not going to name names, but without people to chase, I would never have started running in the first place. Let's keep trying to outcompete each in greatness in the years to come. I love a good race.

I really regret enrolling my child in this school. Before my child started. I heard so many…read morepeople say how good the school was and how excellent the students academic results were. But after four years. The reality has shown me, some teachers at this school did not give the child the support or the best possible experience. I won't know whether the principle behind teaching is supposed to be helpming students succeed. Or whather the teacher was simploy targeting the child and intentionally trying to make things as difficult as possible for them.

We previously had a different tutor for my HIgh School son. I had to drive there, wait for 1 hour…read moreand then drive home. It took 1 hour 40 minutes minimum out of my day, plus it cost $95 an hour. Now the tutoring was not bad, and we made the sacrifice because he needed it, but then he needed a second tutor for chemistry. That's when we decided to look elsewhere. With Tutor Sync we can afford 2-3 tutoring hours a week and they come to our home. Rish is the owner and he knows what he's doing. He paired up just the right tutors for my son. We didn't have to switch, because they were both great. I kid you not I was a little hesitant at first, but boy did they change my mind. Ronnie is his chemistry tutor and he is super patient and knows his stuff. Nickhil is his math tutor, this kid is so mature, patient and wow is he smart. Yes, the tutors are young...but these kids are gifted. Because of my son's heavy schedule the tutors come to our home on Sunday morning. This week and next we adjusted the schedule, because of Easter and spring break. They're pretty flexible. I wish I had known about Tutor Sync before, but better late then never. So if you're in need of a tutor give them a try. I HIGHLY recommend Tutor Sync.

I ride an S1000RR, and I got there by going from a 400cc cruiser to a liter bike in five years…read more Somewhere in that jump I picked up an ego and told myself I knew things. I didn't, which is why I signed up. The bike is not the point at this school. The course is about skill, and one of the first things it made obvious is how slow I actually am. Not slow in a discouraging way, just measurably slow, with a lot of room left. I could feel the gap clearly for the first time, and now I want to close it. Day 1 isn't really about "advanced" technique, though a few people did their first stoppie that day. It's about mindset. Coach Can spends real time on how to slow down in order to go fast, and on thinking critically instead of taking whatever the internet says is right or wrong. That framing carried past the parking lot and into how I approach things off the bike. The vibe is the other thing worth mentioning. Supermoto, cruiser, Gold Wing, naked, sport bike, all in the same group, and nobody was made to feel out of place. A couple of people dropped their bikes and the coach team jumped in to help fix them. Shout out to Dean, who ran all over the lot hunting down a single nut so someone could keep riding. And on Day 2 I got my result before lunch. I went in unable to get my knee down and came out of that first morning starting to actually do it, on top of real work on body positioning. About Coach Can: he's direct in both directions. When you're doing something well, you know the praise is real. When you're making a mistake, he calls it out on the spot instead of letting you rehearse it for another twenty passes. Sitting through his instruction feels like old school stand up comedy with an enormous amount of practical riding technique baked in. Riding has always been the thing that keeps my head in order, and I didn't expect a cornering school to add to that. It did. There's a surprising amount of life philosophy folded into the riding instruction, and it lands harder because it's attached to something physical you just did badly and then did better. I'll be back, including for courses I've already taken, because there's obviously more in them than I could absorb the first time. If you're a rider who thinks he's got it figured out, this is a good place to find out otherwise. Fair warning: it's a long day, it's physical, and if you don't like being corrected in front of other people, this isn't for you. That's also exactly why it works.

'll give my honest opinion from a 34-year-old who has absolutely never ridden a motorcycle in my…read morelife and was pretty sure I never would. I took the one-on-one with Coach Akkaya. When you meet the coach, if you are a complete noob like myself, you might feel a bit intimidated. The dude has a very extensive background in motorcycles, not only in his technical career, but also in his personal journey, and I'd dare to say his spiritual connection with riding is extensive as well. As a result of this, you finish off with someone who is very good at what they do and very passionate. This being said, expect a no-BS type of persona, a kind of personality that says, "Don't waste my time, I won't waste yours," but not in a bad way.Which, in my opinion, is exactly what you need when we are talking about your life being on the line. If you choose to do the one-on-one and you know absolutely nothing, come in humble, be transparent, and let yourself be coached. I came here not knowing a goddamn thing, extremely anxious, and with very low confidence, to the point where I thought once I got on the bike I would chicken out and it would be one of those things. Coach could see this in me and he just worked with me as an individual and helped me through the process. I almost felt like the class was tailored to me personally. It was the opposite of what I was being offered from other places. I left that day knowing how to actually get on a motorcycle, shift, brake, and even get some speed. Obviously, I need more work before I get on the road, but I truly feel like I left that practice a better version of myself than I was before I came in. It was actually one of the best days of my life, with newfound confidence, feeling 10 feet tall, and a skill I never thought I would have. I also have to mention this was not my first option because I wanted a Harley and I thought this was just for sportbikes. I went to Harley, a complete noob, to check out the course, and before I knew it, I was signing papers and getting a 1600cc bike delivered to my house under the pitch that they would deliver it to me and pay for a course. Because of a technical issue on their side, I did not leave that day with a motorcycle. It was all easy hopes and dreams. That would have most likely at best made me crash a brand new, beautiful bike, and at worst, I could have lost my life. This is very common, apparently. In contrast to Coach Akkaya, who recommended I buy an actual pedal bike for practice, these guys are literally saving people's lives. Education is probably one of the main factors when it comes to losing your life on a motorcycle. The DMV will make you brake a couple of times, drive in a circle, and now you can go on the freeway with huge trucks and all sorts of situations even pros sometimes have difficulties with. That is just a recipe for disaster.I truly believe educating yourself as much as possible with courses and good coaches that are not trying to just make a quick buck and actually care for your health is crucial, and these guys are exactly that. now the price. I have to say 75 bucks for an hour, and I learned so much in this hour, is pretty much giving the class for free. I'm not going to criticize it because I'm sure they have their reasons. But as a business owner and in this current economy, 75 dollars is a gift. Very economic for what you are getting. in my opinion worth atleast 300 an hour. If you are new and scared or think you're too old to start or for any reason not doing it, I'd say just go with the flow, don't deny yourself the opportunity. 100% recommend.

I never got around to leaving a review but after hearing what kind of horrible schools other people…read morehave to put up with, I want to make sure my facts are heard. This is one of the best if not the absolute best school in Northern California. My friends and I passed the exam all on our first tries and all got jobs within a month of our testing dates. I started with a different school and after two days I realized it wasn't as advertised and pulled out. Came straight to Easy CDL after reading the Google reviews. It was a night and day difference between the awful first school and Easy CDL. Since then I have had more than 5 friends become truck drivers and they all went through this school. You can read their other reviews on here. Every one of us passed first try and are now happily making good money. Thank you for making my transition into my new career easy for me.

After having a bad experience with a previous school, (paid 5k, had my permit for a full year &…read morenever obtained my license) I came across Easy Truck School. Just as you may be doing now, I did my due diligence & looked over all the positive reviews that former students had. After calling & speaking with Ali, I knew this was the right school for me to attend. Eventually I made the 3 hour drive up there & spoke with him in person regarding the whole process & about his program. After discussing everything & receiving a tour, I signed myself up. As a former student, I can attest that the whole experience & training here are beyond great. From his generous hospitality to his great instructors, Ali provides YOU the student with all the tools needed for you to obtain your license. Sometimes in life we can encounter individuals or business organizations that can care less about providing a great service & only care about taking our money BUT that is far from being the case here. Ali genuinely cares about the student becoming successful in passing & obtaining their license. If you have any questions or need assistance, there is always someone in the office to answer them. Outside there are numerous instructors that fully engage with the students & assist them with the pre-trip, skills or driving as needed. There are also several yards provided so you can practice your skills & pre-trip. Overall, if you want to obtain your commercial license & in the process be properly trained, this is the school you want to enroll yourself in. In the end, those long 3 hour drives to & from the school were well worth it. Ali, may God continue to bless you & prosper your business. I highly appreciate you brother, thank you & your nephew for all of your assistance during this process. Best Regards, Rudy
