"I was beyond lucky and fortunate to have been paired with Cord, and truly I believe he is the reason I passed today. He is an amazing asset to DriveWise and all its students. Cord has an incredibly calming presence, knowledge of the road and ability to empathize with students. Cord always offered me constructive feedback, which helped me improve my skills while helping me to reflect on areas of improvement. He helped instill the confidence I did not know I could possess. If I was high anxiety, Cord created a safe space for me to share with patience and understanding. I left each and every session with new confidence and pride in the skills I aquired!"
