I was not a natural driver, and many of my instincts on the road didn’t work at all. I had to learn from the very beginning, fighting my anxiety every day. Throughout the whole process, Marc was an exceptional instructor. He is very calm, extremely knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. He built my confidence little by little, and now I’ve passed the test! I definitely recommend him without any doubt.

Jason was incredible! As a parent I listened in on most of her online classes and Jason was so fun to listen to! He made drivers ed fun! Highly recommend!!

This is a great driving school to go to, especially if you are an anxious driver like me. Before taking classes here, I was having panic attacks behind the wheel and barely able to practice. Tina did a great job empathizing and setting me up with a lesson plan that worked for me, and Marc is an incredibly kind and calm instructor who made the learning process so easy. I'm now way more confident behind the wheel, able to drive everywhere including freeways, and I just passed my skills test when I previously thought I'd never be able to. If you are a late learner or need extra help like I do, I highly recommend taking classes here!

I did a concierge package for knowledge and skills test. My instructor, Marc, was an absolute angel. He explained all the key areas of the skills test clearly prior to the test. Couldn't have done it without him.

Thanks to Defensive Driving School in Kirkland, I am now a newly licensed driver. I took the online study-guide course, which was incredibly helpful in passing the knowledge test. I also took a few driving lessons with Walter, who is a great instructor. I’ve had anxiety about driving for a very long time, so I was a bit nervous at first, but Walter was patient and offered valuable and practical tips to all my driving questions and concerns. I would recommend DDS to anyone who is new to driving or looking to improve their driving skills. Thanks! 🙂

Wonderful driving school. Tina was super nice and helpful. She is very good at explaining concepts and helped me get through my driving anxiety.

I took a manual transmission driving lesson with Walter and had such a positive experience! Walter explained and demonstrated many of the small details that a YouTube video could not. He helped me polish up a lot of the small things that made a world of a difference in smooth shifting, driving in stop and go traffic, and starting on hills. Highly recommended!

DDS is great! The Zoom class is way more engaging than I thought it would be, and I learned a lot. My instructor, Clay, was amazing; they explained the material quite well, made sure it was interesting, and answered questions whenever possible. The class doesn’t just teach laws, either, but makes sure students learn about how to drive safely and react to drivers who aren’t, car insurance, maintenance, how to buy a car, and more. The written tests sum up the material nicely.
The driving instructors are patient and do a wonderful job of talking students through everything that needs to be done. The drives go over lots of important skills for new drivers, and they are ordered in a way that allows students to gain confidence in easier skills (such as parking and suburb driving) before moving on to more advanced skills (such as city and freeway driving). Students are also able to sign up for drives in a way that fits each of their individual schedules.

The online booking and training applications are very intuitive and easy to use. The helpful fact sheets let you know what to brush up on, they all come up in the questions. Special shout out to Bridget the driving instructor/assesor, she was very professional, constructive and definitely makes passing easier. Well done.

This school answered questions about cars I didn’t even know I had and my driving instructor is very kind and helpful.

Had an amazing experience with Walter Avillanoza at the Kirkland and Redmond Center. He was patient and polite, explained the rules very well at the start and gently guided through the drive. I took two lessons from him and it greatly improved my driving and I was able to pass the driving test in first attempt. I am an immigrant and was new to left hand driving which is different from my home country and several of my friends had bad experiences at other schools and instructors, but Walter was patient, precise and just a lovely person. Highly recommend!

My girl Tina!! She is the BEST as a student with debilitating anxiety, she learns what helps YOU. If I had a concern, we talked through it. She would make jokes on days I was talkative, and on my quiet days she was content with short instructions.

This place was WAY more accommodating than 911 or any other local places I’ve found. Thank you!!!

Evan

22:51 22 Jun 24

I took classes from here, and Walter is the best instructor I've met. Very descriptive about the rules and calm while teaching you how to drive. Plus personally, I take inspiration from how hard he works. Totally recommend it!

My daughter took classes from Jason. He was very informative and entertaining. He held my daughter’s attention and was kind and professional. She took her drives with Brett. Extremely fun and kind! He made her feel comfortable and was positive and complimentary, even when she was a little scary to drive with at first. Love this company and location and will be using them for my other children!

I have Bri and Clay as my instructors, they are amazing they keep the class on topic and engaged. They will open the chat to the whole class during lessons with group activities or just to interact with our other classmates during lessons. They are fun and easy to have as instructors. 10/10 Boomers for Bri and 100/100 Dinosaurs for Clay!!

Very professional. Marty not only took me through the driving test he explained all the why's and why not, for that I can never forget him or his, " and always turn your wheels in on a hill must not forget that"! which I did in fact... forget. Any questions were always answered no matter who answered the phone. They cannot be beat .Best customer service experience I've had in a long time!

Olivia Scott

I've had a really great time with Jason as my online instructor! I've never been able to be engaged for a full 2 hours during an online course but he makes it really fun!

Very well organized and informative. I liked that they had other ways of making sure we were engaged other than keeping our cameras on the entire time. Teachers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and when going on drives they are very calm. Would recommend Defensive Driving school!

02:25 15 Sep 23

Now I previously posted a review that I now have deleted after todays lesson. Driving instructor "Tyson" is the most amazing and nicest person I have ever met. He is incredibly relatable, funny and it I have fun learning about driving with him. I would award him with "Employee of the Century" if I'd run the office!

Tristan King

Just went on my second drive with my driving instructor David on Bainbridge island. He is such a great instructor and very calm. He is also very nice and makes the lesson fun. 💪

What a fantastic experience! We are a returning family. Glenn at Everett was our middle son's instructor 10 years ago. Returning to the school to have him teach Hayden was a no brainer. His professionalism and care of how he taught him was amazing. Today Hayden passed his final driving test, and I cannot thank Glenn enough for taking the time to teach our son. I want to think Hayden will take this experience and carry it on for the rest of his life. I would highly recommend Defensive Driving School if ever asked.

Issa Kenyatta

My instructor Christian was honestly a blessing for me. I was really out of practice as a driver since moving to Seattle. I have a lot of anxiety around taking the wheel, and was nervous before many of our sessions. However, every day Christian managed to be kind, knowledgeable, and firm in teaching me the rules of the road.

He helped remind me of my driving skills and gave an encouraging word when I needed it. Teaching a new skill is a team effort involving both the instructor and the student. I’m grateful that during my time at Defensive Driving School I had the best teammate in Christian Holtz.

I also want to give a shout out to Tasha the receptionist. She made me feel welcome since day one of my classes and she always helped me with any question I had. Her professionalism and kindness are top notch.

I will definitely be referring my friends here and will return for additional classes if needed.

Took a stick shift driving course through this school - Mark was a fantastic instructor. Really helped make the car feel intuitive, and helped me handle sticky situations effectively while offering ways to improve. Scheduling via the portal was easy and I learned lots of useful ideas with just a 90 minute course. Highly recommend!

Debayan Chowdhury

21:42 01 Jan 23

I had a great experience with the Defensive Driving school. The instructor Christian was very professional and understanding. He helped me understand the common mistakes, rules etiquettes, etc and provided the steady and focused environment that I needed to pass the test and get my driver’s license. Thank you !!!

We enrolled our youngest child in Defensive Driving School in Snohomish. My son’s classes were online. We were unsure if a two hour zoom class would be beneficial. It was much better than we anticipated. He drove with Cameron and Tyson. They both did a fantastic job with our beginning driver.

April Keeter

17:15 02 Aug 22

My daughter had a great experience with Defensive Driving School. She drove with Issac Kim in Issaquah, and he was amazing with her. He had the perfect sense of humor to make her at ease and was always very reassuring to her. He gave excellent feedback to her on ways to improve. Overall, we had a phenomenal experience with this driving school and will be returning with our son.

After having car service for the last 35+ yrs I needed to get my license , after speaking with several different driving schools I felt this was the right place to to take my business. I have had nothing but a 100% positive experience and the young people that I saw while I was at this school all had a smile on their face ( some maybe a little bit of a nervous smile but a smile none the less ) . I have a high profile job and life style, and was treated very well without the knowledge of this information. Thanx for the help! SD Howell / Rock Int'l Playboy

After hearing about other programs in the Ballard area that friends were not very pleased with, we wanted a better experience all around. After speaking with someone at Defensive Driving School, we found the process to be straightforward and easy. Additionally, when we had questions, the team was quick to respond. We felt our needs were taken care of on all fronts. We went to the University District location and highly recommend Defensive Driving School.

I have had a great experience with the classes, they are always very easy to understand and keep the class involved and learning- shout out to Vincent & Paul. With the drives I would HIGHLY recommend James. He has a very informative and calming demeanor which in my opinion is the only combination to have for a driving teacher! He was able to detect what type of personality my daughter had and engage with her as a person, she was able to relax and just focus on learning! It was amazing to watch; also I had some trouble with the scheduling agent site and Clay could not have been more patient even though I was panicking. I don't know if anyone in charge reads this, but if you do- these people I have mentioned all deserve a raise. This is my first experience with a child in drivers ed and I could not have been happier. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience at the Yarrow Point location! The instructors are always on time, professional and are able to put you at ease. I would highly recommend Marc Eilers as well as Tony Nguyen. They were both fantastic and are great with teenagers and adults alike. Thank you so much for all the time and effort!

I was a 16 year old who didn't know anything about driving. Signed up for this course. Got in Whitney's class. Best instructor out there 10/10. Classes help with facts you need to know. Issac is really good at teaching the actual driving. He makes stressful situations fun.

I've had two kids learn to drive through the Yarrow Point Defensive Driving School, and I would recommend them to anyone. They taught my children to be very aware, very safe drivers. Most recently, Marc did all of my son's in-car instruction, and it was a fantastic experience. He's a such kind guy and a great teacher, and he made what could have been an anxious experience into something really fun, and also extremely instructive. Thank you Marc and all for teaching my kids well!

Instructors are nice and cover the material very well, and manage to keep it pretty interesting. This probably varies from class to class, but the other people in the class I'm in are all pretty awesome too. All in all a pretty solid experience thus far, definitely recommended

Highly recommend. We have three children who have completed the driving course at Defensive Driving, and each one has had a positive experience. I have recommended them to friends in the past, and will continue to do so.

Dennis Brooke

17:22 14 Nov 20

Highly recommend. My 82 year old mother thought she was ready to start driving again after not driving for several years. I took her to DDS for a two plus hour evaluation. After testing at both the office and driving, they recommended she not drive again.
Using an independent, qualified service, helped her to make an informed decision on whether or not she'd be safe back on the roads. We appreciate their professionalism and care during the process. It was worth the money.
On the other hand, the department of licensing recommended she just start driving again. Thank God for the pedestrians and other drivers on the road, we didn't take their advice.

My son took the web-based DDS learner class during the covid shutdown. It was the first webinar version of the course, and they were really well organized. He found it very informative and really liked instructor Kyle. The condensed format was terrific. Looking forward to in-person drives when everything opens up again.

Olivia Smith

00:19 11 Apr 20

I did half of my class in a classroom and half online due to covid 19. The online classes were just as good as the in person ones. Everything they teach has a purpose and is very helpful in knowing what to do on the road. All of the instructor are very nice and experienced. I would highly recommend this driving school for anyone learning to drive.

Divya Sen

21:16 24 Feb 20

My husband and I took driving lessons from the kirkland branch. Marc taught both of us. He is a very good instructor who was patient with us and gave a very detailed feedback after each class. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone who is learning to get behind the wheels in a safe way.

20:30 19 Nov 19

Wonderful place! Marc Eilers was the instructor i had and although i stalled the vehicle a number of times he never made me feel pressured. Such a good guy. Highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking to learn how to drive a stick (or learn to drive in general).

Jaimee Walmsley

23:24 07 Nov 19

Great experience with DDS in Poulsbo! Very thorough teaching and learning and I felt that my child was very equipped with the knowledge he will need to be a safe and conscientious driver. 🙂

Nisha Graham

19:35 07 Nov 19

I took 10 lessons at the Kirkland/Bellevue (Yarrow Point) location, and did most of them with Marc. He was very patient, and explained things well. The commentary driving helped a lot. I passed my driving test first time round, and couldn't have done it without these valuable lessons. Definitely recommend!

Linda Story

21:42 04 Nov 19

Kyle, who instructs the stick shift course, is great! Kyle was patient and had great techniques to help learn driving with a clutch. My son was able to drive the manual car within the 90 minute instruction time. Thank you, Kyle!

Cynthia Portis

14:30 07 Oct 19

My husband and I were pleased with the instruction our son received at Silverdale DDS. We appreciated being able to each do an observation ride along which allowed us to hear the feedback given to our son and follow-up outside of the class. Mitch is great and has a very engaging teaching style.

Devon Balocco

23:44 08 Sep 19

DDS of Factoria was an exceptionally positive experience! Highly recommend this location as Jim Freaney was a great classroom instructor and also very calm and helpful during the instructional drives, teaching proper maneuvers and rules of the road. Michelle and Kristal in customer service were also very helpful and quick to respond to questions and rescheduling needs. So appreciate the dedication of this team to provide proficiency to these new drivers on the road.

17:54 22 Aug 19

The school did what they were supposed to do. I went along for a ride with my child's classroom instructor and he was kind, instructed well, and explained differences from what we learned to what they were teaching the teens today. My son said classes were boring, but every school is boring to the teens that we know. What I like is that he actually learned a lot and became more comfortable behind the wheel of the car. The rest is up to me.

Chelsea McKitten

18:01 19 Aug 19

Instructor was nice, teaching style wasn’t for me. The commentary driving was more distracting than helpful in my opinion. Some people might like it.

Joanna Oster

18:21 09 Jul 19

I really enjoy the driving lessons. As a beginner it was nice to get a different view of driving from a professional instead of just my parents 🙂

Roger C

19:32 05 Jun 19

We never had a single issue with DDS. They were superb! Customer support from the Kirkland office was really good. Asked them lots of questions during the 6 weeks. Really helped us understand the process at DOL as well as what the driving school provides.

All the instructors in the University District were very good. I rode two times during my grand daughter’s training. Impressed and learned some ways to to help in between scheduled drives.

I have no hesitation with my 5 star rating.

Cody C

20:25 06 Apr 19

I had a great experience taking a stick shift lesson with Kyle. Never driving stick before, Kyle was able to cover the basics and get me moving quicker than I expected. He was motivated to make sure I got the most out of my lesson, getting me out of the parking lot when I felt ready, and asking about any specific things I wanted to learn when on the road. Kyle is professional, knowledgeable, and supportive.

(Renton location) Elizabeth is a great teacher and is very nice and down to earth person, I’m learning a lot in her class! Would rate her 5/5 stars as a driver ed teacher and person!! She’s really good on drives and teaching the ways of the road! Gayan, I have done 3 drives with him and every time he has been on the phone talking with other people, and even made me wait 15 min so he could finish a call! Wouldn’t recommend him.

Melissa Mulkey

00:49 17 May 18

Renton Defensive is great we get workbooks to take home and Elizabeth is great!

Andrew Wright

14:11 02 Mar 18

Jimmy (the instructor in Lynnwood) has a calm disposition and when I went on a drive along with him I was amazed at his abilities. He keeps the dialogue comfortable in the car putting the student at ease, but not distracting. He was fully engaged in the instruction and was careful not to criticize. I liked how he repeated phrases of instruction ingraining them in the student's mind for future driving. These words quickly became habits that insure good driving. Even with more nerve wracking drives where my daughter was nervous before hand (the freeway drive) she returned home confident and encouraged feeling capable because that is what he instilled in her in the process. Jimmy is a true asset to the experience. He is exceptional! We will be back with our third child.

The classes were interesting and taught very well. The staff were very polite and easy to work with. Fey took me on my drives and did a good job of making me feel comfortable while also helping me be aware of my surroundings using commentary driving. Carol was my teacher and she did a great job teaching the class.
