Look no further...for help. Kudos to Sunderta!, the counselor at the Feel Good Place in Maplewood,…read moreshe made the driving with care class entertaining and informative while maintaining the primary goal of the coarse. Very interesting personal stories that made the class comfortable to share their own and learn a lesson in the process. If you have to take a class I would highly recommend The Feel Good Place. registration and payment plan made easy. She really tries to work around your schedule and she loves Caribou so skip the apple and bring a latte' for this teacher. LOL seriously this is the place to go. Super nice lady.

The upside is that the work is good and they are very thorough. Extremely thorough. Perhaps too…read morethorough. I was prepared for it to be slower than a regular dentist as they are students (each step is checked by a professor). I was not prepared for how very slow it is. For each appointment you are to plan for three hours. Great, I thought, they will get a lot done during the appointment! Nope. Not even close. The first three hour appointment is pretty much all paperwork. The student goes through a long list of questions with you. I mean a very, very long list of questions. Questions that no dentist I have ever been to has ever asked, and I am not certain how they apply to anything doing with my teeth. I have now been there for FOUR appointments, almost three hours for each of them, and all that has really been accomplished is a cleaning and one cavity has been filled. With the number of cavities I need filled and the crown I need, it will be past the time for another cleaning before I am done. My first appointment was in October, and my latest appointment was in December. As for the idea that it is cheaper than a regular dentist, I am not convinced. You are charged for each appointment and you have to go back so many times that by the end of it all I don't think I am saving any money at all. Minimally if you include the value of your time you do not get a good value for your money. I will definitely go somewhere else for future cleaning services, and I am not at all confident that I will complete all of the work they recommended at this place. I just don't have that much free time.

I took lessons with Paul 5 years ago. I was 30 years old. I had never driven and I was as scared as…read moreany new driver could be. Paul helped me from day 1 where we didn't even use the gas pedal, just coasting, to my driver's license exam. I did pass on my first try! He gave tips and tricks that would help for the exam as well as driving in real life. He was firm/assertive when needed but I also felt safe and comfortable as a terrified driver. He made me step outside of my comfort zone. He loaned me his sunglasses when I couldn't see. Because of Paul's help, I am able to work jobs that involve driving. I can now drive giant diesel trucks and haul trailers for work. Yesterday I drove 420 miles in one day. While I will never be a carefree driver, I attribute my driving success to Paul and First Pass Driving. I am eternally grateful for his help.

Changing my rating to one star just because of how the owner responded. It seems he would rather…read moregrasp for straws rather than just take criticism constructively. Also the fact that he refused to address any of the points I brought up, but instead decided to shift blame onto me in a somewhat generic manner. He gave typical responses for why someone wouldn't do well, but can't bring up specific examples. He didn't even pick pronouns when addressing me. It seriously makes me question if he even knows who he's talking to. Also how many students have had similar experiences. Is the problem truly them? Or is he just making up excuses to cover his rear?

Ahhh this place makes me want to have kids JUST to be able to send them here!…read more Leonardo's Basement is a crazy amazing workspace with after school programs and summer classes for kids (mostly, some for adults too). It's pretty much a hands on learning space where children get to explore the extents of their creativity! Walking in you feel like you've stumbled into your crazy inventor uncle's basement: filled to the brim with contraptions the students and staff have built, the tools for building, and all the junk you'd need to build more contraptions. They have classes for every kind of interest, from building functioning robots to learning how to fix a bike, to making costumes, to cooking. They take things that children only dream of (like building a giant maze out of 30+ cardboard refrigerator boxes) and turn them into realities. They have such a variety of classes that you just have to check out the schedule to figure out the specifics. If I had to summarize it in one sentence it would be: This is a place that focuses on the joys of creating through building, experimenting, and learning how to take ideas out of your brain, put them on paper, and then make them physical objects. For the grown-ups they also offer some classes on making things, through the affiliated Studio Bricolage (linked on their website). We were told to check this place out by many members of the design/tinker community here and after seeing it for myself this afternoon I'm really happy to know a place like this exists.

I took a group class at Northern Clay center and it was amazing! We had 11 brand new students…read morelearning about throwing pottery for the first time (so we all needed individual attention) and the instructor was so friendly and able to help us all! I thought maybe we would each make one piece, but we each got to make 4 or 5 bowl-like objects (you got to pick) and to paint them. We also used the break room to order food, since pottery in the morning was hungry work. Northern Clay is giant inside- I had not idea looking at it from the street. There is a parking lot right by the building, so you don't have to worry about street parking. We had a great time, and will be back to pick up or art in 3 weeks! I definitely recommend the group classes or private parties, which came out to ~$50 per person.

I came here to buy a couple gifts and was not disappointed. I'd browsed some of their selection…read moreonline and saw all the pieces they'd advertised on display in their showroom. The pottery is grouped by artist, which made it easy to limit my browsing to only the styles I liked. I will note that (at least on the day I visited) they very heavily feature artists whose style is natural and rustic, which isn't bad, but for the prices they charge I was looking for something more sophisticated. I know all pottery takes a lot of work, but I'm not going to spend $80 on a misshapen mug. The items do focus pretty heavily on dishes and cups/mugs, which made gift shopping a little difficult, since I wasn't about to buy a surprise dinnerware set for someone. The person manning the front desk was very helpful and brought out more pieces from the back room of artists I liked. She was also able to share with me which pieces were and were not dishwasher safe. I left with a good selection of gifts and would definitely come back again.

A great driving school! Before I went to him, I had attended another driving school that did not…read morehelp me prepare for the exam, and I thought I would never pass. With private lessons from him I improved and passed the exam. The instructor specializes in teaching adults who have never driven before so I felt very safe with teaching methods. His road test preparation style was effective as he explained the way the points for the test were allocated, and worked on the necessary skills to pass the road test. He also used diagrams and visuals for easy learning. Before the exam too, he took me out to go over the skills which reduced my nervousness, and helped me relax before the test so that I can do well. He gives good advice about driving for the exam and real life driving. The individualized attention he gives helped me become confident driving. If I had went to him first, I would have likely passed the road test in one try. His classes are a bit strict, but it was good because it made the exam easy. He has unique methods, but they work well. Ring him up if you want to Drive Today.

I have a lot to say about this driving school and the instructor was absolutely unprofessional…read more It's seem like a scam to me and I was really skeptical on my first lesson never again. Here are the unprofessional habits I noticed car was filled with things like medicine cups the bag of his car was was also filled with his personal belongings. Another thing he is very unhygienic nails were dirty breath smells like cigarettes and his teeth were so dirty and I find that really disgusting. His whole appearance just says alot about his character. I don't even want to mention how the driving lesson was he was putting way too much pressure and force on me and that was my first time behind the wheel he was holding my hands and hitting it on the steering wheel if I make a mistake or don't know what to do on the road it was an absolute mess he is not a good instructor abd he claims he has been doing that for 30 years, 30 years of unprofessional and a dirty finger nails with a dirty car that smells like cigarettes
