Excellent driving instructors. Took my roads test and passed the first time!…read more Seriously, Mr. Ish and Mr. Teddy are very patient and definitely want you to pass. I had wanted to book extra hours behind the wheel before I scheduled my roads test, but Mr. Ish really pushed me to take it sooner because he felt I was ready. Very glad he did.

I just passed my DC driving test, and its all thanks to the wonderful instruction from this school!…read moreI would recommend them highly to anyone, especially folks like me who are learning as adults. Before my lessons with Mr. Ish, the only driving experience I had as a 36 year old was some parking lot practice, and a one hour lesson with a different school (which I didn't think was very helpful so I didn't continue). I took 5 lessons of 2 hours each (10 hours total) with him and found him to be an incredibly patient and supportive instructor. I had a lot of anxiety going into the whole process, and his calm presence always put me at ease and made me more confident. When I would make a mistake like making too wide of a turn into a streeet, he would point it out but also ask me why I did it that way. It felt like he really wanted to get to the root of the issue to help fix it. In the case of turning too wide, we realized that I was misjudging the distance of my car from the parked cars on the street. This thoughtful approach really helped diagnose and correct issues as they came up and it was so satisfying to visibly see myself improve. His approach to teaching parallel parking was super clear, and I was able to confidently parallel park during the test, and have now also done it in relatively tight spots on DC streets! He also recommended doing a last lesson right before the test in the Deanwood neighborhood (where the DMV test takes place). This was great advice, and Mr. Teddy accommodated me for a pre-test lesson on short notice. I used the school's car for the test, which was helpful since I was familiar with it. The day of the test there was a really long wait at the DMV and Mr. Teddy waited with me patiently and was also really supportive. All the communication and reminders from the school about lesson times, locations were timely and clear, Mr. Ish was always on time for picking me up, and it was just a seamless experience end to end.

I was looking for a place to take classes and build confidence, so I reached out for more…read moreinformation. I'm deaf, so communication and accessibility were important to me, and I wanted to make sure we were aligned before committing. I initially emailed but didn't hear back. After waiting a few more days, I emailed again and still received no response. I then tried calling through relay, but relay reported no ringing. Texting ended up being the only effective way to communicate, which worked best for me. Daisy responded via text, and after some back and forth, we agreed on a date and time. Due to a storm, the class was postponed to the following week. We agreed on a new date and time, but after that agreement, I realized it conflicted with my updated schedule from another commitment. I reached out via text to ask if we could move it to a later time, and Daisy agreed. A few days later, my schedule changed again, so I politely asked if it might be possible to push the time back once more, while also stating that I understood if it couldn't be changed. After that message, I never heard back and was left on read. On the day of the class, I texted to confirm that I was still attending at the agreed time and was again left on read. When I arrived at the location, I waited for a while and tried texting, only to realize my message did not go through as delivered. I asked a friend to call the number, and Daisy texted my friend asking her to text instead. My friend explained that I was already at the location waiting. Daisy read the message and never responded to either of us. While I understand that requesting schedule changes may have been inconvenient, completely failing to communicate, not showing up, and ultimately blocking me is extremely unprofessional. I chose this place because of the positive reviews, but unfortunately, I cannot share the same experience. This is why I am leaving a one-star review.

9/15/2021 I am always saddened to speak ill against any…read morebusiness; especially when it is one that is of my own ethnicity. On September 7, 2021 I took my road test, with Ethio Star Driving School(Ethio Star) conducting it. Ethio Star has mastered the art of robbery without a gun. I advise you-all not to take your road test with them. They are failing people intentionally just to make more money off of you. I parked a few inches away from what would be the curb, and was told that it wasn't good enough. Mr. Eyob would eventually tell me that the road test was over because my parking didn't meet his standards. I was puzzled because to my knowledge the only deduction that'll end the test is failing to stop at a Stop sign or bumping one of the cones while attempting to park. I would learn later that they aren't in compliance with the DMV score deduction. Ethio Star deducts 80% of your score for failing to park . Furthermore, he would tell me that I can take the test again for $120. Well, I took the test again yesterday, but with CAS Driving school and passed. They were cordial. I recommend that anyone seeking to take a road test please contact CAS driving School LLC 202-636-1049 or contact@casdriving.com. The DMV need to sever their ties with Ethio Star immediately. If you don't attend their school, they will fail you
