The class atmosphere comes with conflicting directives from both instructors. They can't seem to stick to their own guidelines set forth in the family night orientation. Attendance is key. but be prepared; if your student is polite and waits their turn to speak or is taking notes quietly they will be removed from the class with out any communication and take hours to reply with the "why" and require your student to make the time up later.... The instructors monotoned tutorials are accompanied with bitter attitudes that make the student feel like a pay check, with only state attendance guidelines as their reason for caring. It's all about retaining their license to continue revenue. Be prepared to have your first drives scheduled on the first day only to have them tell you they are behind from the last class still and it'll happen in a couple weeks. You'll be 3 weeks in with no further communication or scheduling completed. Your student won't finish the class on time because they will have to wait for the next class to catch up to where they "missed class/ or were removed from class" to increase their participation numbers for the next month. And then have fellow classmates leave the classroom for 20 mins to "use the bathroom" and be permitted to stay in class and not make the time up. Welcome to the world of double standards and piss poor communication. They will tell the parents they have 15 mins and to turn the camera off. And then one instructor will tell the student to turn their cameras off, the next to leave their cameras on.... Either way... be prepared if your student has to use the bathroom.... 50/50 chance they will be kicked out of class & need to make the time up. If you're looking for that Driving school to inspire your students to have a passion for learning, respect for the laws and safety needed to drive while they speak to your minor child condescendingly; then this is the definitely the school you want. Sadly this is the school that has the best reviews, so Good luck finding a better option. It seems they had great success prior to covid changing things up a bit. You would assume they would have learned to speak to kids appropriately while teaching in person but all those skill points went flying out the window once their zoom education came to fruition. Make sure you prepare your child for hating the next month of their lives dedicated to drivers education; ensure them that it will be over eventually & because of the lack of options locally & price being able to do this again elsewhere. There is a refund option; however after it is no longer available your student will see the instructors true colors & how they interact. At first I thought my kid was just complaining, being lazy not applying themselves. Until I personally sat in on their classes, but out of sight from their webcam. The observations were infuriating. The instructors were rude & callous to the students. The schools preferred method of communication is text. However the instructors share one phone. So whomever is teaching may not be reachable in the event something in class happens that immediately needs to be addressed by the student or parent. They won't catch each other up unless you call them out on something. And then you too will be met with condescension or callous conversations. They will be quick to cover their own asses. Passing the blame on the student for their own actions; assuming it's their word against that of a teen. Beware of these "instructors" and the impact they will make on your children's driving future; their safety & mental health. If you chose to invest your money and child's driving education into this business. Document every moment something wasn't as they stated before. You'll soon realize how unprofessional these ladies are. Sadly our family chose to wait until after class was completed to even place a review, afraid our child would receive retaliation for a truthful review... You'll find plenty of fake ones on their website. Good luck getting a negative review to stick. That will be deleted immediately.

What this one star giver said doesn't sound right... I've had several kids go through this school and NEVER have I experienced anything close to what was said. There's always going to be some bad apples everywhere you go and I believe this one-star reviewer is one of them. The teachers are very knowledgeable and also very welcoming to the students. I recommend this school to all my friends, family, neighbors you name it. If you look on other platflorms like FB or Google you will see they have great reviews. You can never impress the "Karen's" of the world.

I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage in 2016. Many of the instructors are excellent…read more The manager of the school is personable, intelligent, and knows how to interact with many different personality types. She went to great lengths to accommodate my individual needs due to my health condition, helped to personalize and tailor my educational experience, and overall treated me (and pretty much everyone else, from what I saw and heard) with respect, caring, and consideration. I had some mixed feelings and some negative experiences throughout my time at this school, which is why I waited so long to post a public review, but in all fairness, many of those experiences are due to my own "stuff" and are not the fault of the school. I was enrolled in the week-end program. 2 10-hour days of classes back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, then a 6-hour day of classes on Sunday, often with homework or study or giving massage post-classes, felt like a lot to do within a short, compressed period of time. By Sunday afternoon my brain and body were often both fried and unable to absorb much of the content. I'm not sure how the school could've structured it much differently, though, and without the week-end program option, I (and many others) could not have gone through the program at all. The school has 3 separate floors and no elevator, which sometimes felt frustrating when I was dealing with a months-long ankle injury that I sustained during the process of receiving a massage at home from an LMT who is unaffiliated with this school, in order to complete a school assignment. I put a lot of effort, time, thought, work, and money into my massage school education at this school, and in hindsight it is one of the few times in my life that I feel that I may have invested these resources poorly. However, it was my own (frequently questioned!) choice to stay in the program until the end. My self-care during this program was much worse than it usually is, in a large part due to the program demands. The compromised self-care definitely took a toll on my physical and emotional well-being. I graduated with a 4.0 gpa, but my passion for and enjoyment of practicing massage was dampened by the end of the program to the point that it never recovered. I never practiced massage professionally. I tried to force myself to want to, and stayed optimistic for a long time post-graduation that I would bounce back eventually, but finally realized that my enthusiasm for practicing massage therapy has been permanently extinguished. Some of my favorite moments during the program involved working with some of my stellar classmates, learning from and connecting with a couple of the instructors and also with the school's manager, giving massage to paying community members in student clinic, giving massage to many of my own practice clients, engaging with some of the anatomy and kinesiology course material, and creating my own board game to help in learning the muscle attachments (happily, creative learning is appreciated and encouraged at this school). Attending this school is one of only 3 regrets that I have in my life. However, once again, a good portion of the reasons behind that are not the fault or responsibility of this school or its faculty or staff. Understand that this may not be an easy educational journey, even if you are smart, resilient, and start out passionate and enthusiastic about massage therapy, healing, and helping people. Recommended for an excellent massage therapy school education, with reservations.

I just completed Woodworking for Women at Port Townsend School of Woodworking. The class was…read moreFABULOUS. I have done a few things at home, worked with a few tools, mostly self-taught or instruction by husband/uncles. This class reinforced the skills I already had and I learned several new power tools, hand tools, and multiple techniques for completing a step. The instructors were wonderful. Martha Collins has 40+ years experience so has vast knowledge, skill and use of power tools. Her assistant was younger so had less experience but newer and different techniques and also was more inclined to use hand tools. So the balance of the two of them was perfect, you get different ideas and techniques and they were always available and helpful. The only bad thing is this class is only offered once a year I believe. It is well worth traveling to Port Townsend for this class and I imagine any other class also. I will be taking the wood finishing class in November and looking forward to that.

Port Townsend school of woodworking is a school that offers classes with both local and visiting…read moreteachers. There are some well-known teachers that offer instruction - some include project classes - as well as local staff you've probably never heard of. The one draw-back to the design of the school is that they close the doors at the end of the day's instruction, and since most of us travel to this town to take the class (as is the case with many schools of woodworking) there is no chance to further practice what is being taught at night. This is a major drawback and is not the case in most other schools where I've taken classes. The staff are very helpful and friendly (with one exception) and the facilities and town are quite nice. Port Townsend is a beautiful place with very temperate weather, especially in the summer, and offers a variety of great restaurants and stunning views of Puget Sound. The one exception I'd offer to the staff is one of the managers of the school, Tim Lawson. Tim is the person who arranged the classes, payments, and introductions to the visiting instructor. Several of the students, I learned during a meet-up for dinner one night, found him to be unavailable, curt, and rude. "Full of himself," as one person put it, and "condescending," said another. I realize it's unfair to quote actual names here but I'm only repeating what I found to be the case. Several mentioned that Tim also encouraged them to not bring their own stock to the class so that they'd be charged (they thought, as did I) for the exorbitant fees asked for the minimal material provided. Further, an additional fee was tacked on after taking the class. This fee, it was described, was reimbursement for the person who prepared the stock. Honestly, it appeared we used about $10 in material but were charged more than $75. This school offers, as its main draw, the area. The classes can be had in many places. The writer would encourage you to shop around; opinions and your mileage may vary. I've spoken with many who absolutely loved the school and some that would not go back.

After this experience i went down to Angeles Academy, and experienced the best service i have ever had in a salon, especially for being a school. The girls were well groomed and nice, and the owners were friendly and you could tell they were interested in the student over anything and the clients next, which is how a school should be. I would never go back to The Hair School again, unless they got a better owner!

It was closed at night when we first visited but it looked so interesting that we had to come back the next day to check it out and am so glad we did! It's surprisingly large inside with a very interesting little exhibit room which is like a nature museum - full of information and displays on all the nature and wildlife of the surrounding Dungeness River ecosystem. They're all about education and conservation here so you know how much I loved that! One of my favorite things was their display of rain gauges giving you a visual example of the staggering differences in rainfall amounts around the area - mind blowing how much rain some of these places get! They partner with the local Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and the National Audubon Society. They offer all sorts of nature and wildlife programs, field trips and conferences, as well as birding walks and other tours. The center has a gift shop and a satellite stand from Hurricane Coffee. We tried their Happy Camper (a blackberry mocha) and their Dark Raspberry Mocha and we couldn't resist the freshly made Blueberry Coffee Cake displayed - everything was delicious! They have quite a few benches and picnic tables outside, as well as a lovely bird garden that was just teeming with local species. They even have a "bird blind" viewing area inside where you can watch in secret so as not to scare the birds - it was awesome! They have plenty of clean restrooms and a huge parking lot so there's room for everyone. The GPS brings you right to the river center - but you may get confused bc it looks like you're driving through a remote rural neighborhood- but just trust it bc it's at the end of the road lol! Once you're finished exploring the river center, be sure to pop out back and explore the historic railroad bridge over the beautiful and huge Dungeness River!! So worth it!
