Defensive Driving School of Kirkland

I had a great experience with the Defensive Driving school. The instructor Christian was very professional and understanding. He helped me understand the common mistakes, rules etiquettes, etc and provided the steady and focused environment that I needed to pass the test and get my driver s license. Thank you !!!

My skills examiner Christian was AMAZING! I felt so comfortable during the test and he instructed me very clearly

The experience I developed under the class maintained by Clay and Vincent was a very memorable moment of which I will remember for decades in the future. I appreciated both of their great attitudes to their teachings and fun methods of helping the students. Overall it was a very good class and helped me learn how to be a better driver in the future and increased my driving power.

Marc Eilers is amazing. Hes professional, calm, and a wonderful teacher. I did a total of 6 lessons with him and it was 100% worth the money. I also highly suggest scheduling with him for the test as well.

My daughter had a great experience with Defensive Driving School. She drove with Issac Kim in Issaquah, and he was amazing with her. He had the perfect sense of humor to make her at ease and was always very reassuring to her. He gave excellent feedback to her on ways to improve. Overall, we had a phenomenal experience with this driving school and will be returning with our son.

Took a stick shift driving course through this school - Mark was a fantastic instructor. Really helped make the car feel intuitive, and helped me handle sticky situations effectively while offering ways to improve. Scheduling via the portal was easy and I learned lots of useful ideas with just a 90 minute course. Highly recommend!

Now I previously posted a review that I now have deleted after todays lesson. Driving instructor Tyson is the most amazing and nicest person I have ever met. He is incredibly relatable, funny and it I have fun learning about driving with him. I would award him with Employee of the Century if Id run the office!

My instructor Christian was honestly a blessing for me. I was really out of practice as a driver since moving to Seattle. I have a lot of anxiety around taking the wheel, and was nervous before many of our sessions. However, every day Christian managed to be kind, knowledgeable, and firm in teaching me the rules of the road. He helped remind me of my driving skills and gave an encouraging word when I needed it. Teaching a new skill is a team effort involving both the instructor and the student...
Read full review. I m grateful that during my time at Defensive Driving School I had the best teammate in Christian Holtz. I also want to give a shout out to Tasha the receptionist. She made me feel welcome since day one of my classes and she always helped me with any question I had. Her professionalism and kindness are top notch. I will definitely be referring my friends here and will return for additional classes if needed.

I had the privilege of taking driving lessons with Marc Eilers at the Kirkland location, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and supportive instructor. Marc explains the driving concepts clearly and concisely. I am grateful for his personalized approach, as he tailored the lessons catering to my individual needs. Marcs feedback was consistently constructive, allowing me to improve my driving skills without feeling overly criticized. Initially, I was quite nervous...
Read full review about driving, but Marcs calming presence and unwavering support helped me relax and gain confidence behind the wheel. His guidance not only enhanced my driving abilities but also instilled in me a strong understanding of safe and defensive driving practices, for which I am truly thankful. I highly recommend Marc as a driving instructor!

*Redmond Location* Both my daughters class instructor (Tyson) and drive instructor (Josh) were outstanding and kept my daughter engaged the whole time. I thought they were both well set up and well done. Josh (Drive Instructor) was so great. He was knowledgeable, professional, calm, collected and really encouraging. My daughter and I both enjoyed and appreciated his instruction. The DDS customer service was great, convenient and quick to answer all of my questions and help w scheduling.
