Susanne was an absolute pleasure to work with and she made my son feel completely at ease during his sessions. She was great with her feedback and was very clear in letting my son know what he needed to work on. I would definitely recommend Susanne and OCT Driving Academy.

Cant recommend this driving school enough. Susanne is amazing and always was able to get my sons drive time lessons even w her busy schedule. She is amazing and so easy to work with! She helped get my older son his license and 2 yrs later he is still a super safe driver. now she is helping me with my youngest son prep for his drive test in July! Cant recommend this driving academy enough they really care about the kids! and making them safe drivers.

I highly recommend this driving school! It is worth every penny . The owner, Suzann is exceptional. I was very nervios about my daughter going behind the wheal and suzann instantly made my worries disappear! She was very kind and streight up forward. My daughter s instructor, Matt should be featured on a drivers safety manual. He was very informative and made my daughter feel right at ease . I can t say enough about this driving school other then I would highly recommend it over all of the other driving schools around! when it came to my daughters safety, I did my fair share of research and we are very happy with this school!

I can t say enough about Susanne! Like many parents, we were terrified to put our twin daughters behind the wheel. This was compounded by the fact that one of our daughters struggles with focus & impulse control due to ADHD. I chose OCT Driving because I preferred the shorter more focused lessons (1 hour instead of 2). Susanne was so calm & patient with them. She made the whole process easy for all of us. In the end, she felt like part of the family. She made sure they were completely prepared to pass their driving test. They BOTH passed on their first try!!

Shannon at OCT Driving Acadamy provided our daughter with terrific training and experience. The approach made for a low-stress experience and matched her learning style well. They worked with us to accommodate schedule changes, and made certain she was fully prepared for the drivers test, which she passed easily. We would highly recommend OCT Driving Acadamy to anyone wanting to ensure their teen gets set up for a win at DMV, and is safe on the road.

Our experience with Susanne requires more stars than a Google review has available! My daughter is a high anxiety kid, and from the moment she got behind the wheel for lessons, she was at ease. Susanne is thorough, patient, educational, and creates a fun learning atmosphere for the kids. She goes above and BEYOND to make sure both mom, AND child are at comfortable, and confident. She is flexible with scheduling and works hard to find times that will work. It is clear that she is passionate...
about her role at this very crucial stage of life. It is obvious she wants to make a difference. Six months with Susanne and she feels like family! Both my daughter and I are grateful for the valuable time spent with Susanne. She has had an impact on our lives.

When I was informed by the DMV that I had to take a Road Test at the age of 80 due to an old eye problem, I was very disturbed and nervous. I am a competent driver with a clean record but had no idea of what the test would require. Luckily. I called OTC Driving Academy off an internet listing and was fortunate enough to be connected with Suzanne Peterson. I booked a one-hour session with her for a review of road test requirements. The advice and test experience coaching, both on the road and out...
of the DMV guide that she provided was extremely helpful. Without her help. I most likely would have failed the test. As it turned out, I passed easily!! Suzannes calm and friendly demeanor with focused commentary help you learn easily without any tension. I recommend her to anyone young or old for effective driving education.

Susanne is absolutely the best! My daughter s experience could not have been better and all of her friends that were lucky enough to find OCT felt the same. The way she approaches the lessons and required behind the wheel hours is so much better! This is one of the most important decisions we make for our kids in getting them the right start in their lifetime skills behind the wheel. I saw a huge difference having two kids with two different programs. This is absolutely the one to choose.
