She will make sure your child have all 7 sessions observing and 7 sessions driving required by DMV. I heard some driving schools would pass your child after 3-4 sessions.

Fantastic experience: LaTasha is Awesome , she takes her time to make sure you walk out knowing everything you need to know ! Finished her class , went to take my permit test the week after and passed on the first try ! Definitely worth it
Fantastic experience: We were very fortunate to have found Ms. Copening late this summer when most of the other driving schools were unavailable due to high demand and inflexible schedules. My son was able to complete the drivers education course online first, then do the behind-the-wheel lessons with Ms. Copening. We also completed the mandatory parent-student course online through Genesis. She was very accommodating when we needed some flexibility during Thanksgiving week to travel to see family. She is an excellent teacher, and my son was receptive to her thorough and thoughtful instruction. She has a calming effect about her and the way she speaks, and I can see why students learn from her easily. She provided me with a quick status via text everyday (when I was working and couldn’t be there to discuss in person) after their driving lesson and provided helpful advice to refine my son’s driving skills and knowledge, in addition to what he had been learning from his grandparents. I would entrust my younger son to Ms. Copening’s services and lessons when he is ready to start in two years. I just hope she is still doing this and helping other families when the time comes. Thank you so much for making it a less stressful and smooth process with our son!
Fantastic experience: I live in Utah but found this school for a young friend in Richmond, VA. Latasha, the owner was excellent in providing details and getting my friend licensed. She even picked her up at her school for her road time. My friend felt it was a good experience. Thank you Latasha.

Negative experience: Completely unprofessional. I scheduled behind the wheel training three months in advance. Then one week before the class started LaTasha cancelled without explanation. Now I must wait another three months at a different school. Be Warned!!!
Mrs. Evans your daughters appointment was not scheduled until next month and you booked in January but at any rate we apologized for the inconvenience. Due to COVID-19 for the past several months all appointments have been booked tentatively and are subject to cancellation in the event that circumstances beyond our control arise. This information was communicated to you when you signed up. FYI we had a death in the family and a COVID exposure which has delayed our schedule significantly. Thanks and best of luck to you!
