Best driving School out there!!  Thanks again for teaching one of our children
Thank you  so much for being a great teacher!  Both of my kids liked your personality.  I appreciate your patience and calmness (at least once you were out of the car!).  We would highly recommend you to all our friends.  Stephanie - Leavenworth

You are a great teacher and really supportive.  I enjoyed your class and would recommend it to anyone.  Thank you.  Skyler - Wenatchee

I loved the class!  It was always a blast and full of laughter.  You are a great instructor and amazing at teaching.  The homework was never too much and kept us on our toes.  Having a small group of people really helped as well.  Thanks for the great times and always making me smile.  Abby - Wenatchee

Mr. Richardson is so great.  He is a very understanding, knowledgeable, kind teacher.  he is funny and he gets the job done.  He also cares about each one of his students immensely.  We are vey happy we chose him to be our daughters' driving school teacher.  Katie - Malaga

Thank you for a job well done!  Our grandson was always excited to attend class. Rex - Wenatchee



My daughter enjoyed her time spent with Mr. Richardson during classes and drive times.  He is a very patient and caring teacher.  Well recommend RSDS to others!  Jodi - Cashmere

It was good!  Very interactive and definitely worth the time and money.


I really enjoyed your class.  You are a great teacher.  Also, you know your stuff when it comes to drivers ed. which is good for the students. Dakota N - Wenatchee

Absolutely wonderful, very professional, informed and in tune with my concerns as a parent of a new driver.  The course is a direct, no nonsense, serious but fun, way to educate and help create a responsible, informed driver.  Traci - Wenatchee


I really appreciated the progress notes and thank you for your accommodating our schedule with your required schedule.

Steve is a great teacher!  We were thrilled our son was able to get into the class.  Even though having homework was an issue, we believe it's good for them and will make them better drivers. Donna B. -  Wenatchee

Very thankful for this course.  So much knowledge is taught.  The lessons will last a lifetime.

You have been a fantastic instructor and role model for both of my sons.  We'll be back with my daughter soon. Thanks for all you do. The Wenatchee valley is a safer place because of you.

Mr. Richardson, in my opinion, is a very fair instructor and not afraid to give a little criticism, as well as praise when needed. My son never complained about the instructor or the class and I appreciate all that Mr. R does to help put safe drivers on our roads.  I will not hesitate to enroll our last child.  I feel that this driving school covers a lot of material that Drivers Ed in a school does not and feel our son got great training.  Thank you for all that you do Mr. R. Drive on and Drive safe. Diane A - Cashmere

I liked the way he taught and how he was interested in questions I might have.  He was a great teacher and I really appreciated the way he handled things.  McKenzie T. - Cashmere


Thank you for the excellent course. My daughter is much more confident behind the wheel and has had some good driving experience.  Tina T  - Waterville

Thank you for your flexibility with our son's schedule.  We appreciate everything you taught him.  Ms. S - Wenatchee

Richardson's Safe Driving School has been an excellent class for my child.  This is my second child who has taken this course at this site.  Hopefully all six of my children will be able to take this course through this program.  I will, and have, recommended this driving school to many families.  A big thank you for the patience and time spent with my new driver.  Katrina M - E. Wenatchee


I was glad that the course included chapters on insurance and liability, as well as how to drive a car safely.  Thank you for the time you put into helping keep our kids safe.  Julie. B - Wenatchee

Hannah has been very engaged in learning about traffic safety and learning to drive.  This course has really helped her be more confident in her driving abilities.  Thank you for your instruction and encouragement.  Emily B - Wenatchee



She learned a lot.  It was nice that you gave her homework and really cared that she actually knew how to drive.


Thank you Richardson's Safe Driving School for being an excellent driver ed. teacher. l  appreciate your attention to detail, it sure makes a good driver. Ms. T -Wenatchee


We thought it was a value for the excellent instruction.  Our other son went to a different school and this was a much better school. Jennifer T. - Wenatchee


My son has improved immensely while taking your course.  Thank you for being such a fun, wonderful teacher.  Sara A - Wenatchee


Thanks, Steve.  We really appreciate your flexibility in working with our son's schedule.  We would definitely recommend your course to friends and others.  Denise P - Wenatchee


I feel this is the best choice in the valley.  Personalized attention from an instructor who truly cares.  Rebecca Z - W. Wenatchee

I really liked the course and enjoyed the class.  I learned a lot and liked your teaching skills.

I love how you teach the class.  My son learned so much from you.  The progress reports are helpful to see how my son is doing. 

It was enjoyable experience for me as a first time drivers ed parent.  Having a teacher who had a sense of humor was nice.  Also, more comfortable with daughter driving after receiving honest feedback on the skills after each drive.

Great introduction to driving.  My son learned a great deal in this classroom and driving simulations.  Thank you for your brave work.

Mr. Richardson is a great instructor, person and all around has a great personality.  After taking this class I feel very confident in my driving skills.

Steve obviously has a heart for our kids- and the way that he shows it is by diligently preparing them to be safe drivers.  He is able to quickly ascertain the best way to communicate with each individual.  I feel like my teenager has gained an invaluable education. A Smith - Leavenworth

Our daughter has worked hard on her "homework" and really studied for tests.  She has been stressed out over it, but that means she is working hard to understand the lessons.  Our daughter has learned more from this course than our other daughters learned from a different school.

Instructor and Driving Assistant both had excellent rapport with students.  Mr. Richardson taught in such a way that my son remembered and retold stories from the class and the lessons behind the stories.  Thank you.  Steve Y. - Wenatchee

This drivers ed. class was great and I feel that my child improved so much over the course of the class.

The instruction my children received at Richardson's Safe Driving School was excellent.  Mr. Richardson strongly emphasized safety and covered the subject matter thoroughly.  He possess an engaging teaching style and sense of humor that makes learning fun. The driving lessons were especially helpful and I know my children have retained the information as they frequently express driving tips when I'm at the wheel!  The course was highly effective at increasing driver knowledge and awareness and I strongly recommend Richardson's Safe Driving School for teenagers. Wanda A - Cashmere

I think your stern style was a bit intimidating at first, but by midway through the class, my son commented that you were a really good teacher.  Finally, your procedures were very helpful and my son uses them every time he drives, i.e. parallel parking. Bart T - Wenatchee

Excellent course.  Very informative and helpful.  Mr. Richardson's driving school is incredible.  Thank you.

Thanks again. You do such a great, thorough job of teaching and our daughter really enjoyed her time with you.  We'll see you in a year and a half when our son is ready.  You're the best.

Kellie really enjoyed you as a teacher.  In fact, she says you are one of her 3 favorites.  Thank you for your work with the kids.  Stephanie K - Leavenworth

I would definitely recommend Richardson's Driving School. The parent progress notes are a great way to see what your child did well on and what needs more practice.  I only wish that I would have had my first child in this class.  The difference is day and night between other schools and this one.  Excellent! Debbie H - Cashmere

This school is the best in the Wenatchee area.  Mr. Richardson helps the students feel relaxed and comfortable while driving.  William M. - Entiat

My daughter was extremely nervous of the driving portion of the course.  Mr. Richardson put her at ease from the first session.  He was very patient, had a lot of good tips and insight and was relaxed and had a great sense of humor. It was a very positive experience all the way around.  We're very appreciative of Mr. Richardson - you can tell his many years of teaching and working with kids has paid off.  He is a very good Drivers Ed. teacher.  Thank you. - Diane S - Wenatchee

The course was excellent.  Mr. Richardson made the class enjoyable, but also encouraged my child to strive for excellence.  My child gained confidence but also respect for the huge responsibility it is to drive.  Both of my daughters have taken Drivers Ed. with Mr. Richardson and we have been so grateful for the thoroughness of their knowledge when the course was complete.  Thank you Mr. Richardson for your firm, gentle, approach .  Our daughter worked hard but enjoyed your class very much.  Cindy K - Cashmere

Mr.Richardson is very personable with the students.  My son now has a heightened, yet healthy, fear of driving which has motivated him to want more practice and to take any time he is behind the wheel very seriously.  He is also much more knowledgeable about driving rules and laws.  Mr. Richardson knows how to teach the skills while being able to bring out the best in his students in a light-hearted way. 
Thank you - Karin A  Wenatchee

My daughter enjoyed your class. Thanks for keeping the learning lively.  Diane H  -  Wenatchee

Really liked progress reports and good instruction.  Liked the teacher/parent communication.  Janine B  - Cashmere

My daughter was very reluctant to take Drivers Ed but overall, she came out of class each time with a positive response.  She feels more confident how to continue her driving practice. Kristi M -   Wenatchee
 

I know my two teens that took your class were very happy to do so.  They were especially pleased with how Mr. Richardson could relate with them and explain and teach to their level.   He also kept some humor in their drives and classes, but very much emphasizing the importance of each step and good decision making while driving. So much appreciate this class for them.  Luann S  - Wenatchee


I would highly recommend this course to any parent .  I have the utmost respect for Steve Richardson as an instructor.  We have had two teenagers attend this course and are very pleased with the excellent instruction they have received.  Ray M - Wenatchee

Positive and fun class!  I would recommend this course to any parent or student looking for drivers training. Greg F  - Wenatchee

I feel that the course was very insightful and what made it even more extraordinary was the instructor, Mr. Richardson.  His outgoing and amazing personality made it easy for all the students to be comfortable enough to ask questions and feel excited about going to class.  I can easily say that Mr. Richardson is one of the most amazing teachers I have had.  He made the course fun and truly cared about his students enough to make sure that they all understood the lesson.  And because of that I wish I could take the course again.  Jennifer G - Wenatchee

Mr. Richardson did a great job and is a very funny man.  I appreciated his candor and relations with students.  He is an excellent teacher and deals with kids and adults with professionalism. Bret G - Entiat

Very impressed with Steve from the first time we spoke on the phone.  I liked the black and white rules, no area for confusion.  It was nice to hear about what our son learned after each class.  I liked the report cards after the drives.  I look forward to our daughter attending in 3 years. Keri S - Wenatchee

Thank you so much for having me in your driving class.  I really had a great time, and I learned a lot from you class.  Thanks for being so encouraging and especially for being patient with me, even though I honestly didn't deserve it.  The drives were all really fun and I'm really glad you put all that pressure on me, it really helped!  I think you're an amazing teacher and I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to have you as my teacher.  Perry K - Leavenworth

Thank you for being a great teacher.  I really appreciated your wit and humor which were always accompanied by a smile.  You made class fun and enjoyable.  Thank you for always having confidence in me even when I had none in myself.  You always knew how to reassure me when I was nervous.  I am so glad that I took Driver's Ed from your school.  Thank you so much for all the things you've done for me.  See you on the road. Claire - E. Wenatchee

Thank you for your communication and time.  Our son learned so much and we appreciate all of your time.

Thank you for being an excellent drivers ed. teacher for my daughter.  I appreciate your attention to detail and your sense of humor.  Amy K - Wenatchee

My child needed extra time to complete written assignments.  Mr. Richardson was extremely empathetic with our concerns.  My child felt Mr. Richardson was kind, funny, knowledgeable, but most importantly, caring.  My child felt safe in the classroom and safe on the drives.  Thank you, Mr. Richardson  Mary Z. - Wenatchee

I was impressed with how adaptive Mr. Richardson is with all levels of drivers. I will be signing up my younger daughter with him.  Thank you.

A very good course.  The instruction is great and the instructor is great with kids.  You made it very enjoyable.  Thank you very much, we will be sure to bring our next kid in when it's time.  Monique P. - Leavenworth

Mr. Richardson is a wonderful instructor.  My child enjoyed going to class.  He taught him extreemly well and made it fun.  I have other children that will be driving in the next few years and I will send them to Richardson's Safe Driving.  Thank you for being such a wonderful instructor.  Blair T - Wenatchee

My daughter is the second child in our family to complete Mr. Richardson's course.  When the third child is ready I will be sending him to Steve for this important step.  The quality of education regarding safe driving practices,coupled with the genuine care and concern for the well being of our young drivers, makes Steve Richardson the best choice for driver education, bar none.  I would not consider sending anyone I cared about to any other school.  Terri T - Leavenworth

My daughter's confidence skyrocketed thanks to you and your course.  Her road rule knowledge is impressive and her comfort behind the wheel is better after each drive.  Thank you for your kind words and respectful, yet age appropriate, teaching approach. Tamera D - E. Wenatchee

Mr. Richardson taught me how to drive when I was 16. I'm now 37, and still have a clean driving record. He teaches in a really positive way. He's never intimidating, or makes you feel uncomfortable. It's really important to be at ease behind the wheel, and he helps to facilitate that, while still teaching the importance of all of the rules of the road. I feel that with almost 20 yrs. of safe driving under my belt, I'm a pretty good testimonial to the skillfull instruction of Mr. Richardson. I can't recommend him enough. Cathy W.-Federal Way, WA

Thanks for everything you have taught my son.  He enjoyed the class and now I enjoy being the passenger.  Jodie T. -  Wenatchee

We have been very pleased with the instruction our daughters received.  We also appreciated all the feedback we received from Mr. Richardson. Progress reports and phone calls helped us stay informed.  Tracy K. - Wenatchee

Harlie learned quite alot in class and vastly improved her driving skills.  She told us Mr. Richardson is very easy to understand and works well with her.  He has followed through with her on explaining mistakes.  Thanks for all you do for our teenagers in the valley.  Lori G.  -Wenatchee

I fully appreciate having you keep them to the highest standards, as it keeps us all safer on the roads. Thank you.  Bev S. - Cashmere

Not only did the instructor teach in a professional manner, he offered an energy that kept students tuned in and interested.  The balance of classroom expertise and drive knowledge made for a worthwhile, effective experience.  Rod R. - Cashmere

My son had a great experience in your driving program.  His knowledge of rules and expectations of the road have improved greatly.  Thank you.  Tiffany L.   Wenatchee

Very happy with the course!  We appreciate how organized the course was and how well communicated the expectations were.  Steve H.  - Cashmere

Thank you for being an excellent driver ed. teacher for our daughter.  I appreciate your attention to detail and your sense of humor.  Amy. D - Wenatchee

Thank you for the great job you have done teaching drivers training.  Our son learned a lot and really enjoyed the class.  Kathy W. -  Wenatchee

If I made a mistake, Mr. Richardson wouldn't get mad.  He made sure I knew what I did and why I should not do that.  If I did something good, he was always very encouraging.  Kevin. W. - Entiat

I can't say enough positive things about this program.  I can definietly tell that my son has grown both as a driver and in his confidence with the rules of the road.  Mr. Richardson is a MASTER at getting the students to learn and have fun at the same time.  Thank you so much - it was money well spent!  Garci D - Entiat

Very pleased with the instructions and course work given in class.  We will highly reccomend this driving school to others.  Donna B. - Wenatchee

Our daughter learned a lot from this course.  The classroom sessions were informative and the driving instruction practical.  We appreciated the high expectations of the instructor.  Our daughter apreciated the instructors sense of humor and caring.  High expectations and caring are key elements in this program that will help make the students good drivers. - Patricia D. - Wenatchee

The communication on how my child was doing in all aspects of the course, especially the driving comments was most beneficial.  Lots of practice driving in Wenatchee in various driving situations was helpful, also.  We were both very satisfied with the program.  Keep up the great work of educating young drivers.
Carol W. - Entiat

I wasn't looking forward to adding more homework to my schedule but with Mr. Richardson's teaching I understood the material and it was very manageable. The drives and in class experiences were excellent and I am glad I chose to attend RIchardon's Safe Driving School! It is clear Mr. Richardson loves kids and gives his all to teach his students what they need to know to succeed and be safe on the road. Drivers Ed was a joy to me, I am thankful we have teachers like Mr. Richardson!   Kelley - Cashmere

We couldn't have been happier with Mr. Richardson for his wonderful teaching.  Our daughter gained so much confidence under his direction.  She recently took a refresher drive just before she took her driver's test.  She passed the first time and I credit Mr. Richardson for giving her the encouragement and instruction she needed.  We would not hesitate to highly recommend this school for anyone needing a driver safety course. Michelle C - Cashmere

Richardson's Safe Driving School prepared our daughter to be a safe, cautious driver. Steve is very qualified and takes this responsibility very seriously. After each drive, Steve would give us a written progress report on what they worked on that week and what our daughter needed to practice. We always felt well informed. The curriculum is rigorous and sets high expectations. I would highly recommend Richardson's Driving School to my friends and family. --Terri G - Wenatchee

Richardson Safe Driving School provides a wealth of information for both the student and parents. Those who are serious about learning how to drive and all the information needed to know to be a "safe" driver, would benefit greatly from Steve's class. Steve was great to work with and very communicative in all areas. --Dawn L  Cashmere

Our son received a very thorough education and he enjoyed it! My daughter took her drivers ed class somewhere else and I am amazed at the difference in their education. Our son learned so much more! I can't speak enough for Steve Richardson and his instruction. -- Ginny D. Cashmere

Mr. Richardson is a great driving teacher! He makes learning fun, yet sets clear, high expectations. He's very patient and stays calm during drives. Mr. Richardson makes sure that we understand everything before he moves on... and if you need extra help he's willing to put in the time. I had a blast taking drivers ed!
Thanks a ton!!!
Madi  Wenatchee

During our association with Richardson Safe Driving School, we found Mr. Richardson's work to be both professional and punctual. Mr. Richardson has a keen sense of what is necessary to support a top notch Driver Education Program. He is constantly working to make sure his students receive the proper instruction in an educational and friendly environment. He cares that kids make it home safe. Kim K. Cashmere

Steve Richardson has to be one of the best driver's ed teachers that I have encountered! Mr. Richardson is very thorough, making sure the students understand and apply the cirriculum in their daily driving skill building. You can tell that he genuinely cares about each and every student, their safety, and the safety of others on the road. I will be enrolling my daughter in Richardson's Safe Driving School next year - I would not consider using anyone else for this important educational step.  --Terri T. Leavenworth

Watching your child learn how to drive is probably one of lifes most stressfull experiences. My wife and I looked into all the local driving schools and asked many questions to both students and parents. We chose to have our daughter take Mr. Richardsons class and we couldn't have been happier. I truely believe he cares about the safety of the students. I feel he understands the importance of teaching young adults the importance of safe driving. Without hesitation, I say Mr. Richardson's Safe Driving School is the ONLY school in town. We can't thank him enough for the great job he has done. Eric. D Wenatchee

Mr Richardson's class did more than simply give our daughter the instruction and experience she needs to be a safe and smart driver. His teaching gave us, as her parents, confidence in both the quality of instruction she was given, and Steve's commitment to the success of his students. His driving school was and excellent option for our family!  Cathy K.  Cashmere

Mr. Richardson's classes changed the way I view my responsibilities as a driver. After having my license now for one year, accident-free, I look back and realize how grateful I am for his teaching. His emphasis that I personally am responsible for my safety even when I am in contact with other road-users has made me a more aware and concerned driver. I am extremely grateful for his course!  Greta T.  - Leavenworth

Steve was absolutely incredible! He was knowledgeable, flexible, and a top-notch educator. We were impressed with his professionalism from the first parent meeting to the final exam. My wife and I recommend Richardson's Safe Driving School to all or our friends and family.
As a protective father, I can honestly say, I trust Steve with my most prized possessions, my children. Thanks Steve.  Chad M.- Wenatachee

I highly recommend Richardson's Safe Driving School. In my opinion, Steve goes above and beyond to make sure that his students are safe and responsible drivers. I was so impressed the first time around that I am now signing up my second soon-to-be driver. Thank you Steve!   Sandy R. - Cashmere

I contacted Steve to give my 20 year old son driving lessons. My son had been away at college and had not wanted to drive when he was in HS so he was behind. He felt uncomfortable about driving and it was not working for me and his father to take him out driving. Steve told me he could help - and he did. His low key attitude was just what my son needed to feel comfortable. In just a few weeks my son was able to feel confident enough to tell us he was ready to take the test and he passed on the first drive. He feels good, we feel good, and I am sure Steve feels good. Thanks Steve. We highly recommend Richardson Safe Driving.  Cynthia N - Leavenworth
