Thank you MR. ADVENTURE for helping our daughter pass her driving test on her first try! You gave her so much confidence and really believed in her. Your tips were super helpful and made her feel prepared going into the test. We have four kids so we'll definitely be seeing you again for the second, third and fourth! Thank you again. read more

My daughter had already been through a different driving school (T**S) and learned so little that her confidence was low and her skills were pretty poor. Their evaluations of her driving were always noted as "good" but she did not show any improvement since the day she started lessons with them. I was very scared to be in the car with her when she practiced. After doing a Yelp search, I found AP Driving school and got connected with one of their finest instructors, Denys. He was patient and taught my daughter so well that she passed her behind the wheel test today with only 4 deductions. We are very satisfied with the money & time invested in my daughter's driving education at AP Driving School and feel that Denys was a superb instructor. read more

I needed a driving instructor for my children and I had saw AP Driving School instructors at various times in my neighborhood so I decided to give them a try. AP Driving School was very responsive at getting back to me and answering my questions. Their prices were overall very reasonable. The scheduling of driving sessions was also very straightforward and could be done online. The instructor that taught my children was very knowledgeable and friendly which was great since my children were very nervous initially. Overall, I would recommend AP Driving School. read more

Jason responds by text or phone right away with answers to questions. Very accommodating and helped reschedule a last minute instructor cancellation. Definitely recommend and will be using again for my other future drivers :) read more

I passed my drivers test first try. Mr. Adventure was an amazing teacher with various skilled thorough instructions that resonated with me very well and helped out so much during my behind the wheel exam. They were simple but went so far as to guiding me through driving. If I could give him more stars I would and I say this with a ton of confidence. Such a great guy. Great instructor. Be sure to book your lessons with him. I only got to do one lesson with him unfortunately but I got so much out of it. Imagine what anyone could to with all three lessons with Mr. Adventure. BOOK WITH HIM TRUST ME BRO read more

Three of my kids have gone to AP Driving school. All drove with Mr. Adventure at some point during their experience and he was by far their favorite instructor. Really welcoming. Putting each of my teens at ease and giving them great advice. Highly recommend. read more

Mr. Adventure was a good instructor. He helped me pass my driving test the first time. He also helped me become a more safe and vigilant driver. I highly recommend him. -Kiran read more

Joshua is a wonderful driving instructor! Our daughter was feeling nervous about driving, and his patient and supportive approach really helped increase her confidence. This is her second season with him, and both times he gave her detailed notes at the end so she can practice with me. I highly recommend booking him for driving lessons. read more

My driving instructor was absolutely incredible. I believe his name was David Mason, but he goes by Mr. Adventure. One of the most enthusiastic and helpful instructors I've had, not just for driving, but in any form of school. His directions, his notes, his comedic stories based on his real travels and incredible feats of adventure, all of it was fantastic. I didn't feel like I had to worry, even when he told me my errors. I could go on and on, honestly. If you are to use AP Driving School, I highly recommend asking for him by name. I don't think I would have passed my license on my first try if it wasn't for him. read more

Thank you very much to AP Driving School, my son passed the road test for the first try. Thanks to the instructor Alison, who is very nice, friendly and experienced. My son had one time lesson with instructor Khoa, he is also awesome. The owner Jason is a very friendly and responsible person. He alway answers your phone with your questions even after business hours. AP driving school i have highly recommend!! read more

My son just passed the test on his 1st try!! I highly recommend Mr. Adventure. He made my son feel very comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He really enjoyed all the lessons he took with him and all the adventure stories he had to share. Mr. Adventure was always on-time and we will definitely pick him again when it's our daughter's turn. read more

Mr. David Mason "Mr. Adventure" was absolutely incredible and we couldn't have asked for a better instructor for my son. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about teaching. We got a package which included the driving exam and Mr. Adventure picked up my son, took care of everything at the DMV, and brought him back 2 hours later license in hand. The school owner Mr. Jason was very responsive and accommodating. Great customer service and went above and beyond for us. The only thing I wanted to mention is that whenever I texted with a question, Jason would call me right back instead of responding via text... but I think that's a "me problem." Overall, strongly recommend this school. read more

The driving lesson was an amazing experience for both our kids! Denys, "the Firefighter Driver," taught them some advanced driving techniques like handling the crazy California freeways, performing emergency stops at 50 mph, and preparing for the DMV driving test. My daughter passed her DMV drive test on the first try (our son's is coming up soon)! We definitely recommend Denys--he's patient, super skilled, and made the whole experience fun and educational. read more

My twin teenage sons who were both nervous to drive had an amazing experience with Mr. Adventure. He was patient and helped them feel comfortable behind the wheel. They both passed their driving test on the first try. Will definitely be using AP Driving School again with the last teenage driver in the house! read more

David "Mr.Adventure" was by far the best driving instructor ever. He is professional, realistic, honest, funny, and a pretty down to earth guy. He definitely knows how to keep you on your toes. If you are a highly anxious driver or lack confidence in yourself He is the instructor for you. I went from shaking and being extremely nervous to passing my drivers test with confidence. Please consider him when you select your instructor you will not be disappointed. read more

My experience here was literally amazing!! I cannot recommend this driving school enough!! I had Brianna Spyier as my instructor she is wonderful. I learned so much and felt so prepared for my behind the wheel exam. I recommend getting the VIP package which is the one I got,. It comes with 10 hours behind the wheel, free way lesson, practice exam, and using their car for the behind the wheel test. The day of my exam Jessica picked me up an hour before my exam and she let me drive to the dmv. She was incredibly nice and helpful. I was a little nervous before my test but Jessica was supportive and talked me through all the questions and concerns I had. Which calmed my nerves down tremendously. In the end I passed the behind the wheel exam first try and loved my experience here. read more

As a person learning to drive a later in life compared to others, I was super nervous, but my instructor Khoa made the process feel relaxed and even fun. I am so grateful to him for taking the scariness out of it and for helping me become a safe driver. He has a great teaching style and will review certain things until you're confident in them. Now, I have my license and purchased my first car. The owner Jason also was so helpful and picked up the phone himself to answer all my questions, which was a nice personal touch. Overall, I'm really glad I went with AP Driving and it was totally worth it. read more

My daughter passed the test with zero points off this past week and we had, Brianna S. , Andrew L. , and Mr. Adventure. Special shoutout to Mr. Adventure, he was fun and engaging with my daughter and she felt so confident after her last lesson with him. All teachers were great but he was above excellent and highly recommend him! read more

My daughter use this online test prep service to prepare for her California DMV driver's permit. I feel it helped her to become proficient with the required rules and regulations in California. read more

Choosing a driving instructor course for my child was crucial, and Jason's Driving Instructor Course proved to be exceptional. Jason, the owner, addressed all my concerns with clarity and patience, ensuring my peace of mind. Allison, the instructor, was outstanding--patient, skilled, and with only one point lost during the exam, speaks volumes about her expertise. The package I bought included convenient perks like transportation to the DMV and a pre-exam refresher course. My son pass driving test first time. Overall, I highly recommend AP driving school for any parent seeking top-quality driving education for their child. read more

Super easy scheduling (I texted them before paying and was happy to see that my preferred instructor had a few spots left for the upcoming weeks) and positive overall experience. Please let Allison know that Katya passed her road test today at dmv laguna hills with only 2 comments (lacked "control" when backing and a separate note reminding to drive at posted speed limit). The examiner said nothing to me so even the comments left are nothing major. Good luck to all student drivers out there! You can do it! read more

Allison Olvera Your knowledge in relation to driving is excellent and the way you approach is perfect for the person like me. Your accuracy in time and appointment was unbelievable you were there on time thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness.Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement and patience. As new for California you showed me great respect and welcome. read more

Denys the instructor is very knowledgeable and helps my son feel safe and at ease in the car. Since he is a retired fireman, he definitely teaches all the tips to be a defensive driver. Safety is the most important factor with AP driving school and I'm very happy with my choice of sending him to this school. read more

I am a late bloomer when it comes to driving (lived in a city my adult life) so I did the VIP Driving Lesson package. I just passed my test with zero errors. My instructor, Troi De Silva, was amazing. He is incredibly patient and met me where I was at every lesson. Troi makes sure that you are familiar with the DMV driving test and will walk you through anything that could be challenging or tricky. When I took my test, it felt like a cakewalk. When I started, I was a nervous driver. One of the things that I appreciated about Troi is that he safely prepares you for different, uncomfortable situations. As a new driver, he will gently guide you in stressful situations so you can gain confidence (like freeway driving, driving in narrow, crowded streets.) I felt safe the entire time and feel like I built up awareness, decision-making skills, and confidence. Even my friends and family noticed the impact of the lessons. All of my passengers have said they can tell that I am a good driver and that the lessons that I took were worth it. read more

Best instructors. Flexible schedule. And super patient. Used them twice - both times service was out of the ball park! read more

I just passed my road test today with only 3 points deducted, and I owe it all to my phenomenal driving instructor, Allison! As an adult learner who had previously failed the road test during college and then lived in New York City for several years without needing to drive, I was pretty nervous about getting behind the wheel again. But I had to get it as I'm now in Irvine. I took three class sessions with Allison and saw significant improvements after every lesson. It was kinda magical! Her patience and ability to point things out promptly made each class enjoyable and effective. One great example is her tips for parking - I used to struggle getting the car into the parking spot when practicing with my husband, but Allison's guidance made it so that I can now park smoothly every single time! Allison's approach made learning to drive as an adult a breeze, and I can confidently say that my money was very well spent. Additionally, the process of scheduling classes online was incredibly easy and convenient. read more

My daughter just passed her driving test yesterday. The instructor and owner of AP driving school Jason was very kind and helpful. He even did a mock test with my daughter which she teally appreciated. Jason took the time to explain to us what my daughter needed to work on afterwards and even answered our questions about DMV two days after we parted. So glad we went to AP driving school and would recommend it to anyone!! read more

AP Driving School - AP driving school - Driving Schools Near Me - Irvine, California

I received a call from the owner Jason yesterday. I was told that my son's driving instructor, Troi de Silva, did not feel safe during lessons with my son and they have decided to cancel all future lessons. I let my son drive in between lessons so that he can get enough practice behind the wheel to improve for the next lesson. Again, this is after his third lesson over the course of about 6 weeks or so. I would think he has gotten better over time, but if not, I wanted to know what about the lesson was so dangerous so we would know what to work on with the next driving school. Jason told me he was not going to share that information with me and that they reserve the right to refuse lessons to anyone. If it was driving related, why would you not share what had Troi so uncomfortable? And if was NOT driving related, as a mother I want to know what happened. This is what upset me. I asked my son about his lesson right after he returned home, and he said everything was good. The ONLY feedback he had ever received from Troi was that they would need to work on turns in intersections after the first lesson. I asked my son about the lesson again after I received the disturbing call. He again stated the lesson was just as normal as any other time, and they were even discussing how school was going for him. The school takes your money and then gives you a limited schedule with very few options for lessons and they only have 1-2 instructors available at the location closest to Bellflower. I am disappointed that my son did not get an instructor that cared enough to at least tell me why he felt he did not want to continue lessons. Again, if it was safety related, you would think he would have enough integrity to let me know after his lesson that he won't be continuing, and tell me what was risking his safety. Instead he was a coward and had Jason make a tasteless and pointless call about canceling future lessons with no further elaboration. Please, spend your money elsewhere and find a reliable, dependable driving school that actually cares about the students they are supposed to be serving. This review is not posted to receive a weak response from the company with you repeating what I said in a way to make you look like you're the victim in this. Save it. I just want people to know what a waste of time this place is. Truly disgusted. Update: After seeing this review, Troi sent an email and asked that I give him a call. I did, and he was able to explain what made him speak with Jason about my son's lessons. He was a bit too confident behind the wheel and not following instructions. Switching lanes when not asked to, not minding the speed limit, etc. Which again, are things a parent needs to know if she's hired your company to teach her child how to safely and effectively be behind a wheel. I could totally understand from that angle and agreed with Troi. I still don't agree with Jason keeping that very important information from me and acting like there was some top-secret reason he had to cancel his lessons. Or making it seem that he was protecting Troi by not divulging the information. The decision to cancel was based solely on the owner Jason, not the instructor. I don't appreciate Jason not being honest and trying to convince me it was not his decision to cancel when it was. Because of this, I will stand by my 1 star rating. Not because of Troi, but because of the deceptive owner. read more

Brianna Spyier is the best instructor! I took all my driving lessons with her and she was great at helping me become a confident driver. Passed my test on the first try. Could not recommend this driving school more! read more

Jason, thank you! I could not have picked a better school for my daughter who was extremely nervous! Thank you to Jason and his entire team at AP Driving school who were patient with my daughter and got her to pass her test! read more

Service was amazing and making appointments was easy, would use again for my teenagers. He passed after the first driving test

I didn't have much driving experience prior to this driving school so I bought the VIP Plus Package (20 hours + Freeway Driving + DMV Accompaniment) and booked all of my lessons with Allison Olvera. The website was easy to navigate through and scheduling the lessons online was simple. As an adult driver, I felt pressure and anxiety to pass on my first try and with her help, I was able to do so today! She was punctual to every single meeting and on the first day she even came 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled appointment time. During the lessons, she was always very alert, which helped me with my anxieties about being on the road, and made sure to point out any errors I made, as well as how to correct them. I drove on the freeway for the first time with her help and have progressed to feel a lot more comfortable going on it due to her guidance. She was very knowledgeable about the entire layout of Orange County, which made directions as to where to go very easy. On the day of the test she provided me with many words of encouragement and helped calm me down so that by the time I started the driving test, I felt a lot more confident. Overall, she has imparted me with valuable driving skills that I will continue to use in my everyday life and I am thankful for the effort she put into teaching me. I highly recommend this driving school and Allison! read more

Great experience! I was happy with the driving service. I felt like i learned the fundamentals read more

My son had a great experience while being instructed by "Mr. Adventure" David Mason. David was knowledgable, patient and understanding. He put my son at ease with his light hearted personality. I would recommend him to not only family and friends, but also plan on having him instruct my younger son and daughter when they do their behind the wheel lessons. With Dave's help, my son passed his driving test on his first try... read more
