Instructors are FUNNY AND AWESOME! Bri was fantastic, Clay was a real one, and Erin has one of the funniest laughs Ive ever heard.

I have booked around 20 session to learn driving from scratch and my experience is great! Erin & Joshua are very nice and patient, and Issac is also kind while having high standard. Will definitely recommend, especially for the ones like me that have no idea of driving at first and wish to gradually learn and gain confidence in driving.

Overall I had a good experience with Defensive driving. I had my warm up and driving test with Erin. She was great and very calm especially while I was giving the test. I passed my test in first attempt. I was worried that the instructor is going to be rude but Erin surprised me. However, 5 class package I took before my test were ok. I had Issac as my instructor, he was good for the most part but only problem I had was learning to drive hand over hand while turning the steering wheel. Issac was very particular about hand over hand use which I was not comfortable with. And finally I never learnt it and I drive just fine

My instructor was Isaac Kim and I had a great time learning to drive. Isaac focuses on driving fundamentals and is very observant. He takes time to explain what needs to be done and how to improve the skills. I was amazed with small driving etiquettes that I learned through the sessions. He is also very patient, friendly and thoughtful with good humor. We also did some mock tests at the end to understand the test structure and expectations. This really helps a lot. Highly recommend Isaac and Defensive Driving School.

Probably the best driving school you could do. Clay was the one who taught my classes and I found him to be enjoyable, he made the class engaging and interesting. The instructors who sit with you on the 5 drives are all super nice too. Customer service is also super fast 90% of the time. Issac Kim, one of the driving instructors is also a really funny guy. Makes the required drives more fun

This was by far the best driving school that I have been to (and I have tried two other schools in the Greater Seattle area). All the people I encountered here were kind, calm, and helpful. I took the vast majority of my lessons with Isaac Kim. And like the other reviewers mention, he is a great instructor. He was patient, kind, and observant, and provided constructive feedback with a calm demeanor. He also offered several useful tips while driving, which Ive found very useful. I also took my license test at this school. I had a good, stress-free, calm experience with the instructor who oversaw the test, Tyson Williams. I found the pre-test warm-up pretty useful as well.

Isaac was the best instructor I could ask for. He told me all the things I needed to fix about my driving but also gave me tips on how to fix those things. It wasn t just going through the motions of driving with Isaac it was learning to be present and have a high level of awareness while driving. 11/10 would recommend him again. THANK YOU ISAAC!

My daughter had a great experience with Isaac. His attention to detail, patience, and consistent coaching really set her up for success. I didnt know the best way to teach her how to get started on the highway, and Isaac just did the best job of teaching her how (and I got to listen in!). Highly recommend. Thanks Isaac! I would pay attention to deadlines and cutoffs for drives and testing. They are very strict.

My daughters just finished driving lessons with Issac Kim and he was fantastic. Very patient, great attention to detail, and made the girls feel comfortable. I went on many of the lessons and was impressed and learned a lot about helping the girls become good safe drivers. I highly recommend Issac.

I had Isaac Kim for the majority of my lessons, as well as the WA state final driving test. He explained things very well, making it clear to understand. He also has a great sense of humor. I would recommend Isaac Kim as an instructor.
