    Juan was a great instructor with many years of experience. He helped me go from never driving at…read moreall to passing the exam on my first try. His feedback is direct and if anything needs to be explained in detail, we would pull over and he would draw a diagram to help me understand. He picks you up and drops you off at your home which was also helpful. We started in a parking lot and worked our way up to more complicated environments as I got more confident. He also has a specialized car with breaks on his side which also made me feel at ease while behind the wheel. Highly recommended!

    I would not recommend this driving instructor. My experience included:…read more* Frequently 20-30 minutes late to lessons (and occasionally excessively early without notice) * Never provided two full hours of driving -- he counted his travel time to my location as part of my paid lesson * Canceled lessons or failed to show up as agreed * Used paid lesson time to run personal errands (AT&T, T-Mobile for phone issues) * Drove to the Mission District during my lesson to collect money from someone who owed him * Had me pick up another student during my lesson or placed me in the car while another student was driving * Made comments I found misogynistic and racially insensitive * Repeatedly called me a "slow learner" and labeled me dyslexic instead of offering constructive instruction The most alarming part happened around the date of my driving test. We had clearly confirmed a Saturday lesson at the DMV to prepare. He did not show up. When I contacted him, he insisted it was scheduled for Sunday, despite text messages confirming Saturday. On Sunday, he arrived late. Then on the actual day of my driving test (the following Monday), he was again about 30 minutes late. I had to call him -- he was asleep. Being forced to track down my instructor on the morning of the driving test is not what anyone expects from a professional service. Instead of helping reduce stress, his behavior added to it. By the end of this experience, I did not feel supported, respected, or professionally instructed.

    Lawrence was my daughter's driving instructor, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience…read more He was very patient, thorough, and clear, and all of his advice was incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond from beginning to end. On the last session, he helped my daughter practice the actual test route and made sure she was prepared for all the requirements of the driving test. He also gave us helpful advice about how early to arrive for the appointment and what to expect in terms of the wait time. Thanks to Lawrence's guidance and preparation, my daughter passed her driving test on her first try! We are so grateful for his patience, knowledge, and support. I would definitely recommend Lawrence to any parent looking for a great driving instructor.

    I wanted to help my adult daughter get drivers lessons. I researched and found Confident Driving…read moreSchool. That was music to my ears (the confidence part), so I called and left a VM msg. Lawrence responded via text. He was super helpful, supportive, and patient with all my questions from flexible scheduling lessons to using their car for her behind-the-wheel-test. I couldn't be happier. If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Long story short, my daughter passed her test and has driver instructor Lawrence to thank. Thank you so much, you helped give her the confidence she'd been needing. I'm referring anyone needing driving lessons here. Do it. You won't regret it.
