1. My son drove students home as part of his lesson times.On their very 1st session--- before instructor even knew how good or bad of a driver my son was--- he came with another student in the backseat needing to be dropped off. That's a safety issue. As a parent i wouldn't like my kids being driven by someone who might be barely learning how to drive.On their 3rd session (which was supposed to focus on prep for a driving test 2 days later) my son drove 2 students home. He drove back and forth in freeway traffic for 3 hours during rush hour (from Diamond Bar to Pomona to Downtown LA then back to Walnut). Doing that DID NOT prepare him AT ALL for the driving test. That session lasted 3hrs.Taking other students home should NOT be part of my son's time which I PAID FOR. Not to mention the distraction of having an audience during your PRIVATE lessons.2. SchedulingWe had a 4pm appt which kept getting pushed back. The instructor finally picked him up at 440pm--- which would have been ok but the 2 other students were in the car needing to be dropped off at their houses!?!He needs a better system in scheduling his lessons.3. Did NOT prep for driving testFrom the very beginning we were very clear that we would like the lessons to focus on prepping our son for the test. On their last session, my husband even texted the instructor to practice parallel parking with him. My son said THEY DIDN'T because Mike said it was not part of the test--- which turned out to be part of the test which my son FAILED. Instead of driving on the freeway (which is NOT part of the test) a mock driving test would have been more appropriate. End result: my son failed parallel parking and he didn't even know where the defroster was (among other things).A total of six hours of paid sessions would have been enough time to go over all minor and major details. What the instructor did was give my son a website to read which i doubt my son had the time to do. That's definitely not what i paid for.1 star for the instructor being nice, friendly and pleasant according to my son.
