Street Smarts of Maryland Normandy, Ellicott City

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.

I just passed my final exam and I would absolutely recommend Street Smarts to anyone that is starting Driver s Ed, my instructor Ms. Tina Khan was so kind and helpful and was a big reason why I passed. My overall experience is very positive!

I had a great experience with my teacher, Mrs. Kahn. Would very much recommend.

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.

Its a great class, I had Mrs. Khan, the class was good and very in depth on content.

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 daughters in person class gets canceled, and we are only given the option for virtual. It s infuriating that a drivers 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...
Read full review of virtual services, and this one is no different. I don t appreciate bait and switch. *** To add, they dont 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.

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.

10/10 would absolutely recommend. I was really nervous to start driving, but the class gave me a lot of confidence. And my instructor, Ms. Tina Khan, was absolutely amazing and was such a great fit for my learning style. I couldnt have asked for a better instructor.

The class was very effective towards my future driving experience. The instructors were very good. Not much problems spending 3 hours of my day. That time flew by. I got to learn much about driving on the road and what to do, and what not to do. Also, what may I experience while driving.

They had great service, and I would recommend any student (with or without a Learners Permit) take this class. Mrs. Khan was my instructor, and she did a great job with teaching our class.
