Positive experience: A-1 driving school is good. If you are a beginner and want to learn how to drive (based on my experience), don't choose Ms. Yolanda. you will lose confidence, your excitement. I had 2 sessions with her, I thought she will be finer on the second one. Like she was already having attitude on the first one, but it got worsen on the second. Like she knows that I am still newbie, but she treating me in a rude way. Like there are things that she told me to do, but there is also things that she told me to do this in contrary on the first thing that she said. and she will get mad on me about it. Like on the second session with her (my 3rd appointment), she gave me a silent treatment, after I got confused on her direction. When you said "forward", it means something in front of you, so I am aiming to go forward and go left, coz that what I understand from her. But she kind of like telling me forward to the right. like she really told me "look into my hand", which she was saying to the right. and she even disrespect me from where I came from, like it made me feel so stupid that I looked like I don't know English. But her choice of words are more confusing. I know that we as a driver shouldn't be distracted, but asking me to look on her hands and the way her hands cannot really be seen by side eyes. like goof thing we are not on the main road. And she gave me silent treatment afterwards. like i dunno where to go, I just drive and drive til I actually see familiar road. And when someone honk into us, she yelled to the car behind us. like if she is doing it personally, don't ever show it to your instructor. Be professional. and when we got into my house, she blamed it into me. Like I am being too slow and stuff. Like she told me the reason why they honked at us is because of me. I cried when I go out from that car and never had an appointment with her. and will never have an appointment with her in the future. I just put 3 stars, instead of 5 because of her. But I didn't put 1 star, because we still have great instructors. The instructors are Ms. Gineth and Ms. Delynn. If you are beginner, choose the 2 great instructors. Because of them, I am still giving 3 stars. You will definitely learn from this 2. They will help you a lot.
