I took the online drivers ed course. I liked how I could do it from home and anywhere I went. It was easy since they teach you the basics and then give you little quiz so you can memorize it!! 10/10 recommend

I had an amazing lesson with Andres H last night. I was given lots of helpful pointers and advice for the driving test, and i also enjoyed my time with chatting and music.

The absolute nicest, calmest, and sweetest instructor ever. I would recommend him to EVERYONE if I could because he never failed to make me feel at ease while driving and was always respectful. Best driving coach in the area.

Kaylan is an excellent driving instructor. She made my son feel very comfortable, especially driving on the freeways in Houston. I cannot thank her enough for taking the time and being so patient with my kiddo. Thank you so much Kaylan! Appreciate you so much!

The scheduling is very convenient as we were able to select times that worked with our own schedules. My son was fully confident with the instructors, as a first time driver. The instructors were great, patient, and very knowledgeable and helped him navigate all the rules of the road while driving. His favorite instructor was Gator so we scheduled 4 of the 7 classes with him.

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY OR TIME! First, they cancelled my daughter’s final behind the wheel lesson and gave me a make up time which we accepted. Then we arrived and no one was there. I called and called and tried to make another appointment, but they said our time to use the sessions had expired (their fault). After over an hour of back and forth with the corporate number, they finally gave me a credit to book the lesson. Only to find no lessons were available for months. That led to 2 more hours of the phone. We finally finished the course. Now, on my daughter’s birthday, we woke up early to make an appointment at the DMV. We arrive and have all of our documentation only to be told that Coastline never submitted her certificate of completion and it is not in the State of IL system. They say their offices open at 9 am but we still cannot get in touch with anyone other than their ai assistant who is of no help. We will likely not be allowed to use our appointment and now have to take time off work to take her to get her license. I am beyond frustrated with this expensive and disorganized corporation.

Luis was a wonderful instructor for my daughter. He was super clear and encouraging and really took her through routes that were similar to the course she was likely to do. She had a great experience and he lead her to ultimately pass her drivers test first time!

Outstanding experience with drive instructor Michael D. He was patient, knowledgeable, calm, and reassuring, as well as attentive and encouraging. Both my son and I took lessons with him, and he made us feel completely confident and at ease behind the wheel. He also accompanied me to my drive test, providing the extra support I am grateful for. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. If I can give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommended! Coastline Academy staff also very helpful, website is easy to navigate.
