Defensive Driving School of Stanwood: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Dee at Defensive Driving Stanwood is intuitive to pick up student dispositions. Her fun and matter-of-fact style of instructing encourages reserved teens to comfortably warm up with confidence. She is patient, quick to notice improvements, and is very understanding that students have on and off days. With a lifetime of experience working in literally all capacities at the DOL, she is competent with a wealth of helpful knowledge. Her classroom is interactive and engaging. On the road, she is focused, giving her undivided attention, while customizing and maximizing learning on drives. She lights up and sees the potential of young drivers that she teaches. We are immensely grateful, especially through the extra purchased drives, for top notch A1 instruction and mentoring, on and off the road. Stephen was great and Taryn delightful to work with.
Fantastic experience: Took the class last summer. Great experience! Would 100% recommend to family members and friends.
Fantastic experience: Clay and Paul are very good
Fantastic experience: Only took me 6 months total to get my license on time. Instructors that are human beings and care. Thanks Dee and Kim
Hello Dylon, Thank you for this. We are glad to hear that you had a great experience with us. We will pass your words along to Dee and Kim. Stay safe and Take Care.
Fantastic experience: It was required for me to renew my drivers license that I take the written and driving test. I made my driving appt.with Stephen, who had a great presence over the phone. I had to change that appt.and drive with Dee. She put me at ease right away. I was very comfortable with Dee. She is a warm and very kind person and very professional. She left me feeling better about the human race. I recommend DDS of Stanwood and highly recommend Dee!
Hello Tamara, We are glad to hear that you have had a great experience with our company. Stay safe and take care.
Fantastic experience: Excellent teacher
Thank you for your review. Stay safe
Fantastic experience: My wife Ivy needed help for driving since she is from the Philippines. She needed 3 months of instruction. Dee has been instrumental in helping teach all the aspects of driving. All the issues she had were helped in a way she could understand. This is one of 3 languages Ivy speaks. Today Ivy took her driving test and passed. Later in the day she got her license. I recommend Dee highly.
Fantastic experience: So I was on the online class for drivers Ed and MAJOR props to my instructor Jason, this dude is awesome and it is crazy that he can keep up with the online classes, but he is awesome and the school is awesome 10/10 fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is my second child attending Defensive Driving School in Stanwood. Jason is a great web teacher! Every teacher that has taken my children on drives have been incredibly patient and helpful and know just how to take the stress of Driving lessons off my nervous kids. I've even learned so much by them allowing me to go on the drives as well! I would refer anyone looking to enroll their kids into a Driving school to choose a Defensive Driving School location.
Thank you, Holly! I'm personally very happy to know that BOTH the online and drive portions have been great experiences for you and your family! -Jason

Fantastic experience: I was pleased with our experience with Defensive Driving. They were patient and helpful in teaching my daughter how to drive and whenever I contacted them, they were easy to get ahold of and communicated well with all the steps we needed to complete. Very good experience!
Thank you, Rebecca!
Fantastic experience: The instructors were great as well as the classes. I have few complaints. The one I do have is the time between drives is odd to say the least. The need for 9 days between drives was a slight inconvenience. But other than that I enjoyed the experience throughout.
Tye, Thank you for your feedback. The nine days between drives was to prevent students from scheduling too soon and not getting enough practice between drives. You did GREAT in class and in the car (via Teo). Well done. :) -Jason
Fantastic experience: Ive seen the improvement in my sons driving since he took the class. It was exponential, the instructors are super friendly and helpful. Worth every penny. Thank you defensive Driving School!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Lorena!
Fantastic experience: The Defensive Driving School is a great learning experience. All of the driver instructors are great at their job, they are clear and concise in their instructions and are just fun to drive with. the teacher I had (Mr. Jason) made what could have been a boring curriculum quite engaging and fun. I highly recommend this driving school.
Aidan!! Thanks for the sweet review! Take it easy! - Jason
Fantastic experience: Instructors here are excelent and know exactly what they are doing! I always looked forward to my classes even though they were all virtual.
Thank you, Lucy! :) -Jason
Fantastic experience: I cannot more highly recommend a place to take driver's ed, your written, or your road test than this place. The instructor is incredibly helpful, friendly, very open to communication, honest and constructive with feedback and the atmosphere of the place is very friendly and welcoming; I went here to take both my road test and my written test for the first time and never once felt any kind of judgement for my prior lack of driver's ed or renewing my permit as an adult. The instructor works well with you, and I honestly learned so much from just my warm-up lesson + road test! I sincerely can't recommend any place else for anyone who needs to take their tests or is learning to drive for the first time in the area.
Alex, Thanks for the great review! We welcome anyone regardless of their background. Congrats on passing your tests and stay safe out there!
Fantastic experience: If I were to recommend a drivers Ed class to someone it would 100% be Defensive Driving School! They teach you everything that you need to know about driving and more. They’re really good at communicating at what you need to do when unexpected situations may come up. The driving instructors are all reliable when you’re on your drives!
Thank you for that awesome write-up! We are happy to hear you are prepared for the road and appreciate the review!

Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Madison is an excellent instructor, with positive feedback, clear explanations and a nice sense of humor. As an experienced driver it was a good review. I learned many new things that have changed since first learning to drive. I know what a "humble merge" is!
Gary, Knowing how the "humble merge" works helps when avoiding the drivers using the "not nice person merge". :) Thanks for the review!

Fantastic experience: The owner and instructor of this driving school is absolutely phenomenal, he went over the areas I was weak in without yelling at me and explained where I could and improve but more importantly HOW to improve. Stephen you had excellent customer service people skills and I hope your business does well. I feel much more confident as a driver today thanks to your school!

Fantastic experience: Stanwood Defensive Driving school is the best, all the instructors are all so nice, and patient. I would definitely go here over the High school anytime. I would definitely recommend this driving school. The classes that they teach are all really well taught and they answer all of your questions. They classes aren’t every single day, and it’s interactive. Maddie is an amazing instructor, she’s very kind, patient, calm, supportive, and super cool to go on drives with!
Abby, Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate your time and wish you the best on the roads!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best driver’s ed, don’t do it at the high school. Stephen makes sure students know the information while making the class humorous and interesting. As well as a driver’s ed teacher, he’s like a life trainer and a counselor all in one. Guaranteed every student that he’s had has enjoyed his class a ton. His sister is also super awesome BTW! We all have a lotta laughs, please take your driver’s ed class at the Defensive Driving School here in Stanwood!
Belle, Thank you for the awesome review! We really love it when students have a great time and learn about driving and life. So many lessons can be learned but the ones that stick with us the most are the REAL issues. We appreciate you!
