Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Street Smarts of Maryland because I had 3 of our boys attend it! Our last son Josh recently finished his behind-the-wheels lessons. He was assigned to Gina Rettberg for the Behind-the-wheels lessons; she was amazing!! I highly recommend her! She always kept us informed of what and where he would be practicing and updated us on Josh's driving progress. She's an awesome all-around great teacher for driving! Thanks Gina for making Josh's driving experience enjoyable and a great learning experience.

Fantastic experience: Street Smarts is the best of the best. My class instructor, Ms. Tina Khan made sure we all understood the material, was kind and added humor to keep us all engaged. My behind the wheel instructor, Mr. Brian Schindler was kind, patient and very helpful. His personality helped me be calm and successful in the course. I passed the exam on the first try. Best class and driving experiences I could ask for!

Sean Jagun 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tina Khan was my instructor for the class on Zoom and it was very helpful overall. I was able to learn all about the guidelines and the regulatory safety on driving and the rules you have to follow. I gained more knowledge about driving from being in that class and I feel like I’m more confident in the guidelines and safety of real-life driving.

Hilary Yarmus 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our family has had 3 teens use Street Smarts of MD for Driver's Ed. Brian Schindler was an excellent Behind the Wheel Instructor. He was knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, helpful, quickly responsive to voicemails, flexible with schedule changes, and professional. Jabrai Scott was a fantastic Classroom Instructor. He was knowledgeable, nice, thoughtful, conscious about ensuring the students understood the topics, and put a lot of effort into making class topics interesting. I would definitely recommend Street Smarts of MD thanks to these great instructors.

Fantastic experience: Good ways of teaching a new driver, Great instructors, easy to learn with the slideshows

Lynne Bassler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We were assigned Brian Schindler for behind the wheel instructions and finished up a great experience. Brian is professional, personable and informative. He kept me, the parent, informed of progress and where/what they would be practicing. Student driver had this to say, "he was very kind and encouraging and never made me nervous while driving. He was very calm and collected, just giving tips occasionally and redirected me if needed." My family highly recommends Street Smarts for classes and Brian Schindler for behind the wheel instructions.

Muhammad Mahmud 1 year ago

Negative experience: This is the worst place to book driving instructions. They provide long winded instructions for parents and asking them to put signature in the email which is not clear when a parent is booking and paying for the classes, responding to the emails and office keeps repeating same thing without reading the emails.

Damian 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with street smarts was very nice, Mr. Matt Bellard was a great instructor and helped the class and I learn about the road in a fun way.

Karin Thomas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Khan as my instructor, she was humorous and effective in her teaching.

Ten out of ten would recommend!

Positive experience: Great class a bit stricter rules but fun and it was a good experience Instructor - Tina khan

Apple Dolphin 1 year ago

Negative experience: Tina Khan was my instructor, and she was excellent. The class was entertaining and easy to follow, coupled with her unparalleled patience. However, I would highly recommend taking the class in person due to the limitations of the Zoom course. EDIT: Please be aware of this before entering Street Smarts. They are not transparent in any way, shape, or form on the website regarding how much time it takes between classroom hours and behind the wheel hours. It is wildly unacceptable to have a 80-day wait for a $500 class. They should also prioritize those who are eligible for their provisional. I would not recommend using Street Smarts. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Hsin Harrison 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My teacher Mrs. Tina Kahn was great. She taught all the fundamentals for how to drive, and more importantly, how to be a safe driver. The classes are long, however, there are long breaks in between, which makes it more digestible. If you are willing to learn how to drive, you'll do fine and become a good driver in the process.

Fantastic experience: Great Experience! Easy to work with when scheduling make up classroom session due to conflict. The "Behind the Wheel" instructor we had (Mr Flaggs) was great to work with. Made scheduling easy, worked really well with teens. He offered great guidance to parents on areas to focus on and my son had a great experience with him.

Lucas Spangler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My instructor was Mrs. Khan. While the class was a little uneventful, as you would expect for regulatory programs, I did learn a lot despite having been driving with a coach using my drivers permit for several months. I would definitely recommend it, just remember to study your notes taken in class for the final!

Val 1 year ago

Andy Tharakan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My teacher was Ms. Khan and she was excellent. Would recommend.

CLou S 1 year ago

Negative experience: When you sign up for the in person class, you can tell this company really pushes the virtual class because they send out tons of information about the virtual session. Then low and behold, my daughter's in person class gets canceled, and we are only given the option for virtual. It’s infuriating that a driver's ed class would charge the same for virtual, when it’s much more convenient for the company to do an online session for students than have to go to a classroom. Companies really take advantage of virtual services, and this one is no different. I don’t appreciate bait and switch. *** To add, they don't answer the phone, which is just a service for multiple companies, and nobody mans the location which is just used for traffic offender classes. So if you want to talk to someone, tough luck.
