He not only teaches you what you need to pass, but also teaches you skills that you will need whenever you on the road. His passion is teaching others and takes pride in his passion.

I just got my license, and I highly recommend this school to anyone that wishes to PASS the behind the wheel test as soon as possible!

The driving instructor I had was amazing, connected with me personally and good at conversation so…read moreshe really helped me get comfortable behind the wheel. If I were just rating the instructors then it would be a 5/5, but communication was hard with the actual company. It was impossible to schedule appointments because the driving slots would never be updated. Whenever I called, I would be told to wait, but I waited for two weeks and nothing updated. Very disorganized and unprofessional. I asked for a refund and I was asked if I wanted a different package instead, but I turned down because I had waited so long for another appointment to show up that I had enough time to pass my driving test. When I responded and asked for a refund instead of a different package, I had never received a response. Waste of time and money.

Alex helped me build confidence behind the wheel and apply the rules of the road. I did an intensive 6-day program with him and was able to get my license on the first try, which was especially important for starting my new job. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise, patience, and support throughout the process. Alex is personable, kind, and highly organized. He even has a structured lesson plan for students, which made the learning process feel super clear. He also had a dual-brake system in the car, which helped me feel safe and supported while learning. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Alex truly was an angel for us…read more My car broke down just one day before my daughter's driving test. I called several driving schools--including the one where she had learned--but no one was able to help. When Alex answered my call, he was incredibly kind and understanding from the very start. He even took the extra step to confirm the actual behind-the-wheel test location (which turned out not to be Stoneridge, as I had thought). Alex arrived early, took my daughter through the new test route multiple times, and helped her feel calm and confident. My daughter passed her test and is absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much, Alex. This truly wouldn't have been possible without your help and kindness.

Our family has been part of Dublin Robotics' journey for nearly 10 years, since its inception, and…read morethe experience has been truly rewarding. My older son developed strong engineering, problem-solving, and cognitive skills through designing and building robots. The program strengthened his foundation in STEM while also helping him develop essential soft skills, including teamwork, leadership, communication, and social confidence. My younger son currently attends Dublin Robotics and is also completing an internship there. He speaks highly of the program's thoughtful structure and supportive environment. The instructors nurture each student's individual abilities and build confidence through engaging curricula in robotics, drones, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robot development. Dublin Robotics also gives students opportunities to challenge themselves through multiple levels of competition, including state, national, and world championships. As a parent, I wholeheartedly recommend Dublin Robotics to other families. It is an excellent place for children to explore STEM, discover their potential, develop lifelong skills, and become confident future innovators.

Our son has had a bad experience here.  He says that he gets a piece of paper to work off of, and…read morethe coaches come by every once in awhile and ask if it is ok, and that is about the extent of the coaching.  He has had problems with parts missing from his project as other students take things out of his bin when they can't find something.  They are usually the high demand parts, so he has a really tough time replacing them.  When he asks the coaches, they tell him to go look for the part, and he spends a good portion of the time looking for parts as they don't provide it for him.   He says when he has a question, several other smaller kids interrupt, and the coach's attention gets scattered, and they don't answer his question ultimately.   So, all in all, he is not able to make much progress week to week.  I was shocked, as the per lesson cost of this program is almost the price of private music or tennis instruction, that he would get so little attention and help.  Something so simple as the low availability of parts is something that could be managed, and there should be enough coaches to answer the kids' questions. I had asked about the competition path last summer and was told our son had to learn the basics for about a year first. When we said we would like to cancel, all of a sudden, this competition "class" was an option. I suspect that this basically operates like a daycare with legos for most, and all the actual coaching gets saved for the few kids in competition.

I came in with a love for art, but little knowledge in the technical aspects. Through Ichen's summer programs, I got to explore many different media including charcoal, oil painting, and digital. The academy's instructors are very well educated in the arts and provide a plethora of resources and materials to help me succeed. They provided guidance in composition, technique, color, etc. while motivating me to enter my art into competitions... ultimately which I won a few! Ryan, Ichen Art Academy's Artist in Residence, has provided me with fantastic support over the years. I got a perfect balance of instruction and freedom to allow for the full expression of my artistry. I never felt bored or unmotivated because the instructors constantly provide me with ideas and recommendations when I'm stuck. My AP and college application portfolios both contributed largely to my successful MIT and Harvard application processes, and I am forever indebted to my time at Ichen for this accomplishment.

She is an amazingly talented artist…read more Taken from her website: http://www.lynnbernsteinstudio.com/Bernstein_Painting/About_the_artist.html Lynn's new studio near San Francisco, California is the perfect setting for painting impressionistic landscapes and detailed, color infused flowers. Her process begins with plein air watercolor studies in order to capture the atmospheric qualities of the light and color that draw her to a particular spot. Then, she takes several photographs of the area to use along with the watercolor sketch to begin the painting in her studio. Given her training as an Engineer, it is not surprising that she loves details, but she believes the focus of the painting can only come to life if the rest of the painting is void of unnecessary details. Along with light and color, these qualities help bring the essence of the painting into view. She also developed and teaches Art, Science & Nature Classes to 1st grade girls with the hope of inspiring them to see the connection science and nature with art projects to reinforce the science concepts. Travel and exploration generate inspiration for her work. She loves taking photographs of places she visits and has an eye for finding unique angles and perspectives of scenes and objects. She has hundreds of photos she's taken over the years and hopes that eventually she'll have the chance to paint them all. Lynn is currently a member of the Pleasanton Art League and serves as Programs Chair for the Livermore Art Association.
