The instructor will show up to your house for pickup and will take the student for a 1-on-1 driving lesson from there. The exception to this would be the final lesson before the scheduled behind-the-wheel test IF you live far from the DMV location the test is at. They want to maximize the behind-the-wheel time, so if you live far from your DMV test location like I do, you'll have a set meetup spot. The lessons are 2 hours. I want to give an extra shoutout to Bill, who was amazing and very personable with my son! My son liked all of his instructors, but Bill was his standout favorite.

I think instructors and instruction part are fine. I went with AAA because of their reputation…read more However, 1star is for problem with AAA scheduling system where you can only have 2 appointments at a time and if you're only available on weekend you'd be lucky if you can schedule driving lesson once a month. And with a cancellation days before lesson and lack of prioritization for cancelled schedule, you're looking at driving 1 hour lesson in 2 month period which is what my son is experiencing. If there's another cancellation it'll be 3 months since last lesson. At this rate it may take a year to complete a driving lesson. If you're available during weekdays, you'd probably be fine. If you're not I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind 1 month between driving lessons. I'm trying to get a refund.

I highly recommend I-5 Driving School.

And I said, if you couldn't do it in Fallbrook then you shouldn't have said that you could do it in Fallbrook so needless to say, I sent him away. Don't lie to your customers or potential customers.

It was worth every penny because our son passed his driving test on his first try. Chelsea at the front desk was wonderful in answering all of our questions and helping us with scheduling lessons. We would receive reminder emails and texts ahead of time and it was easy to contact the school over the phone whenever we needed to reschedule. Our son was initially a very nervous driver, but Andrew quickly put him at ease and steadily built his confidence. Our son always looked forward to his lessons with Andrew. After each lesson, we would receive an email linked to their portal with a detailed report card on what was covered during the lesson, how our son performed, and what areas he needed to focus on. It was very helpful for us to be able to monitor our son's progress each time he drove with Andrew so that we knew what we needed to concentrate on when he drove with us. We highly recommend Poway Driving School to anyone embarking on their driving journey. Thank you so much for all of your help, Chelsea and Andrew!

CRAZY STORY... I couldn't recommend this place enough or more specifically Jim Gleason. You see in…read more2014 I had an AVM brain rupture and am considered mentally disabled . Well after not being able to drive for 3 years after my brain surgery i decided to give driving a shot with the "driving program" at a local hospital which turned out to be a SCAM because the "therapist" never even took me behind the wheel after a 6 month program (BEFORE THE DRIVE TEST). So at the time my parents helped me find this place , a place that would work with someone with a disability and it just so happened to turn out that Jim Gleason pulls up and we had a little reunion with my parents after literally not seeing Jim since I was like 17! I am 40 now. Anyway point here is that Jim is SO patient and motivating and more than that he's understanding . Just wanted to boast about this man because this is the 2nd time in a span of around 23 years that he helped me regain my freedom , confidence , a job and because of him I am able to drive to work church or where ever I need to be! THANK YOU JIM I'll never forget you. I came on here 9 YEARS later because someone on the SM community page is asking for recommendations for a good driving school and so I had to show some love. I'm SO appreciative! Picture was taken in 2017 when I passed my 2nd driving test (IN THE RAIN!) with the help of Jim Gleason at American Driving School.

We were in a bit of a rush because my daughter had her driving test scheduled in two weeks. He was so accommodating to our busy schedule and we were able to fit all the sessions in prior to her test. He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire experience. He would send reminder texts, let us know when he arrived, and be responsive to my questions. My daughter truly enjoyed her driving time with him too. She said he was very instructive and taught her certain things that she hadn't heard before like how to merge into a freeway, and the best way to parallel park. I highly, highly recommend Driving Instructor Bob! Especially since I've used another company that was not nearly as good.

Overall, ok, but some quirks that were a little off-putting;…read more1. Ehsan was friendly, but late to all three appointments. Anywhere from 5min to 15min. I understand that traffic sometimes happens, but every time? 2. Related to the 1st above, I can get over the tardiness. But then they would be back from the lessons anywhere from 15min to 10min early all 3 times. If you are going to be late, at least give the full 2hrs. 3. He took her to pump gas twice. I don't know of a driving school that teaches how to pump gas, let alone twice. I'm sure it wasn't a lesson, but rather just not being prepared with a full tank of gas before the lesson 4. Was asked for payment up front on the last lesson because he needed gas and didn't have money... 5. We found out that he had asked the student to be in the second from left lane at a light that was a straight only, not a left-turn lane. He then told her to move over and turn left when it was green, having to cut into the lane with other cars. I don't know about you, but I hate it when people make the wrong turn and then push their way in because of their mistake. Just go straight and turn around somewhere 6. It was weird to see the "instruction vehicle" had darker than the CA legal 70% tint on the front side windows. Not a good example if the driving school's vehicle has equipment violations...
