    I highly recommend Anna's Driving School instructor Rita Flanagan. On August 19, 2023 I had two…read morestrokes which left me partially disabled with limited use of my right arm and hand about four months ago my doctor recommended to me that she felt I should consider driving again and wrote me a prescription to attend a driving/cognitive "evaluation course to learn how to drive with adaptive controls. When I met Rita for the first time, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable and confident with learning how to drive a vehicle safely with adaptive controls and after several lessons with Rita, she felt confident that I could safely drive a vehicle and pass the DMV driving with adapter controls installed on my cars. On June 5, 2025 I was given an appointment date with the DMV for a driving test with an examiner and I had a successful outcome I " PASSED" the driving test not driving a vehicle for one year and 10 months.The knowledge and experience that Rita help develop within myself allowed me to pass this driving test and I made one mistake. I turned too wide when departing the DMV parking lot and I got dinged for that but the DMV examiner wrote on his supplemental driving performance evaluation score sheet I am a very safe driver thank you so much, Rita you are an amazing, professional, and caring, helpful instructor. Anyone needing to learn how to drive with adapter controls or just a first time driving student. I would highly recommend Rita Flanagan for all your driving needs.!!!!!

    On the website they make it seem like you can choose your instructor but that's not the case. You…read morereach with your information and then random people text you. It was jarring. My instructor was good during the lesson but on 3 occasions tried to reschedule the day before, sometimes the day of, and it wasn't for emergencies. They also told me that most people master how to turn on the first lesson despite this being my second lesson, which hurt my confidence (I think this instructor was socially awkward) I also had a different instructor who completely forgot about our appointment and then when I tried to reschedule it they claimed I needed to pay them a "cancelation fee" over venmo. There is nothing like that on the site and I found that weird. I'm not naming any names because I don't want anyone specifically in trouble, I think most people have had good experiences with Ann's and these specific instructors. Your mileage may vary. Edit: no I am positive this is the right school.

    Michael is a calm, patient, and thorough teacher…read more He responded promptly to my request for a driving session, picked me up at work, and took me driving for more than two hours of practice. After warming up on city streets, we entered and exited freeways many times (during rush hour!) to practice merging, lane changes, and adjusting from highway driving back to city streets. I felt completely safe at all times. Michael gave me very practical instruction on checking the blind spot, watching for pedestrians, defensive driving, etc. The lesson cost $220. For my situation (licensed but inexperienced driver), one lesson was all I needed.

    Michael is truly one of the best instructors I have ever had - if I could give him 6 stars, I…read morewould! I was referred to Michael for driving lessons by a friend who also took lessons with him and had my first lesson in October of 2024. I had never driven a car before this day! Michael is extremely patient, kind, and helps you to feel relaxed and confident when you're behind the wheel. He is flexible with his teaching styles and can accommodate different learning needs. Personally, I work best with a more visual learning style and he was very supportive of that! He is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable in what he does and on top of that, has a fantastic personality as well! I can proudly say that after only 6 lessons with Michael, I was able to pass my driving test and get my license!!! I highly, highly recommend him as a driving teacher and feel so lucky that I was able to work with him when preparing for my test!

    I hadn't driven in 10 years. For an upcoming job interview, I need to prove that I can indeed…read moredrive, eventhough this is not a driving job. We live in interesting times. I looked up driving schools and gave Daniel a call yesterday. He had availability this morning and he picked me up at 10 this morning for a 2-hour course. He texted me when he was at my address, I came down, climbed into the drivers seat, and we were off! Daniel is calm. I give that statement it's own sentence because Daniel's calm instruction and gentle voice go a long way for anyone learning to drive, and for me just needing a refresher course. We drove through busy San Francisco, narrow China Town, turned left and right, parallel parked and practiced baking up. I nailed it, thanks to Daniel's excellent, calm instruction! I highly recommend his Excel Driving School!

    I rarely leave one-star reviews, but after spending a significant amount of money on driving…read morelessons for my daughter, I feel obligated to share our experience. My daughter took approximately 6-7 lessons with Daniel, paying around $180 per lesson. (Driver test day 250$$$) Throughout the entire process, she repeatedly came home frustrated, saying that much of the lesson time was spent talking rather than providing actual driving instruction and technical guidance. As a parent, I trusted that a professional instructor would be preparing her for success behind the wheel and for her driving test. What concerned me most was the timing and professionalism. After multiple paid lessons, Daniel suddenly suggested that my daughter might be better suited to a female instructor shortly before her driving test. If that was truly his professional assessment, it should have been communicated much earlier--not after weeks of lessons and hundreds of dollars spent. Instead of helping build confidence, my daughter felt increasingly nervous and discouraged. There were several interactions that left her feeling criticized rather than coached. A driving instructor's role is to teach, guide, and prepare students for success, especially when they are already anxious about an upcoming test. I cannot recommend Daniel based on our experience. We invested substantial time and money, yet received very little meaningful instruction compared to what we expected. Parents looking for a driving instructor should carefully consider whether they are receiving actual training, constructive feedback, and professional communication throughout the process. I hope this review helps other families make an informed decision before committing their hard-earned money.
