Driving Schools near Kirkland

“I’m familiar with driving in my home country, but I’m new to driving in the U.S., so I took a one-hour session with David. He was very patient and observant throughout the session. He explained U.S. road rules, signs, and right-of-way clearly, helping me adjust to differences like lane discipline, blind spot checks, and signal use. His constructive feedback helped correct habits from my previous driving experience. I found the session very helpful and highly recommend David to experienced international drivers adapting to U.S. standards.“

She’s patient, encouraging, and explains everything in such a clear, calm way that makes driving feel natural. She noticed every little thing I could improve on and gave me tips that were easy to remember, which made all the difference on test day.

Thanks to her guidance, I passed with ease! The way they teach here is truly amazing — it’s not just about memorizing rules, it’s about building real driving confidence and understanding how to stay safe on the road. The atmosphere is friendly, professional, and supportive from start to finish.“

“Finally got my license thanks to Walter and Anna!

I’m incredibly grateful to Walter for the outstanding support and guidance he offered during my driving lessons. His patience, encouragement, and clear teaching style helped me overcome my fears and build real confidence behind the wheel.

Walter and Anna fostered a calm and supportive learning environment that allowed me to focus and make steady progress. They explained everything clearly, never rushed me, and consistently believed in my ability—even when I wasn’t so sure myself.

Although I had relatively few classes with Anna, she taught me some key tips and tricks about driving and also like Walter she was very considerate, patient, kind and encouraging.
