    I was scheduled to be picked up by ALLIED DRIVING SCHOOL at 2:00pm for my 3:20pm test in Arleta DMV. No one picked me up. I waited until 2:20. I can't miss this driving test. I decided to look for another driving school. Called BEVERLY DRIVING SCHOOL and asked if they can help me out. Harry, the owner, didn't hesitate, asked for my address and picked me up right away! He arrived 2:30-ish. Imagine? A very short notice. Guess what? I passed the test. Thank you so much, Harry!

    Just two points off!

    Fantastic driving school. Sophia (who I specifically requested after reading the great reviews here) was fantastic. Really quite helpful and patient and friendly. Engaged in good, calming/relaxing chat to keep the nerves at bay. Took three two-hour lessons with her, then had Frank take me for the DMV test. Frank was another patient, experienced, and friendly instructor who really helped me remain calm and confident in the lead up to the test. Passed with only two errors. And all of this for much less money than the competition! Thank you for everything, Sophia and Frank (and the school)!

    I passed with a perfect score! This is my 5th time retaking the test. 
 Thank you Beverly Driving School. Thanks to Harry and Ceci!

    I found this place online. They had a website with detailed prices and it was the most economic driving school I could find. I already knew how to drive, but have failed the exam 4 times. I am a very anxious driver and older (25 year old) and never had anyone properly teach me how to drive. Therefore I needed the practice for confidence and brushing up bad habits. I decided to give them a call. Their call system seemed a bit unprofessional. They did not answer the first time I called them. Later when they answered, they did not explain how their packages work, which are 2 hour classes at a time. When I was trying to schedule them, they also seemed a bit unorganized. I am being picky about this since they are a business, but these details are not really important for a driving school. I bought the 6 Hour class package, with pick-up and drop-off at your home. They were able to work around my schedule and I was able to book 6PM to 8PM driving classes on a week day. I really like that they text you to confirm and remind you the day before every class. I took classes with Cecilia (Ceci) who was awesome. She is friendly, attentive, and listened to my driving concerns. She was very patient with teaching a few skills that I needed help on including parallel parking, right turns, u-turns, and checking for oncoming traffic. We drove to Glendale together for some our classes because I wanted to get familiar with the area where I was taking my exam. For the test I also booked their car rental service. I was partnered with Harry who was awesome at helping me with last minute brush ups. He was very direct, but gave really good tips and suggestions. He led me along the Glendale driving route, and he was very familiar with everything. He checked that I was doing everything expected by the DMV including looking over shoulders, scanning, and knowing what to do during all road situations (yellow lines, double lines, etc). I ended up passing with 0 mistakes!! Overall they are a very good school! The instructors know what they're doing and seem to be happy to be at their job. I recommend this to anyone who needs some help passing their DMV test.

I had already taken time off work for the lesson and waited the entire time, expecting a call or text. It was very disappointing. On the bright side, I hadn't paid in advance, so at least I didn't lose money. You're better off scheduling with a school that is communicative or has multiple instructors who can step in if there are last-minute changes. Since I was never told who my instructor would be or given their contact details, I had no way to reach them to check if they were coming.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - GRACE DRIVING SCHOOL…read more I am truly grateful for my experience with Grace Driving School. From the moment I learned they were family-owned and had female driving instructors, I already felt confident I was making the right choice. The moment I read all the wonderful reviews--especially about how fantastic they are with younger drivers--I made an immediate decision to go with them. I didn't even bother looking for alternatives, and I'm so glad I didn't. What I loved most is their simplified, non-overwhelming teaching techniques. They know exactly how to meet you where you are. Mariam- the adopted Leo in particular, is incredibly systematic and intuitive. She adjusts the learning style based on what works best for you. I'm a visual learner, and she would literally draw things out so I could clearly understand the concepts. That meant so much to me. And Manuel, The Zen Master -- hands down the most patient man I've ever encountered... and that's with me driving! His calm demeanor, steady guidance, and genuine care make you feel safe, supported, and capable. They set you up for success, step by step. I am truly honored to have been one of their students. The experience was absolutely worth it, and I can't recommend them enough. Humbled to be their student. If you're looking for driving lessons, don't think twice--enroll with Grace Driving School. You will be in the best hands.

I had two of the best driving instructors, Jose and Belica--huge shoutout to both of them! They were incredibly patient, and as someone who was honestly very nervous to drive for the first time, they made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. If you're a first-time driver, I highly recommend taking lessons with Belica. She's amazing and walks you through everything step by step until you feel fully ready to drive on your own. I also passed my driving test thanks to them! And another shoutout to Gabi, the sweetest receptionist, who makes sure every driving lesson and DMV test is scheduled perfectly and stress-free. I truly can't express how appreciative I am of Jose and Belica for their patience, encouragement, and support throughout the entire process. They made such a nerve-wracking experience feel manageable and I'm so grateful for everything they did to help me succeed.

    I feel that their instructor Nathaniel harassed me. This man is probably around 50 and I'm 21 and I…read moreshowed up trying to learn how to drive, and he told me twice that my tattoo was "cute" (commented on two different tattoos) and that my voice was "cute." He also wasn't even a good instructor, we would get to a dead end and I'd have to ask him to turn left or right while being fully stopped. He reached over and adjusted my wheel slightly while on a residential street approximately 5 times without saying a word. I got annoyed and I asked him, "am I driving too close to the other cars?" to which he replied "yes." You're supposed to tell me that! I have reason to believe that it was partially to invade my space especially due to the flirty comments. I've never had another instructor behave this way before, tried him out and was disappointed. I asked for a refund for just that lesson after I had switched to another instructor for my remaining 4 hours I had prepaid as part of the package. I did this to not lose any more money to this company, and another instructor was sufficient for the remaining lessons. When I asked for one for ONLY the lesson with Nathaniel (which they should have offered in the first place), they offered me a complimentary lesson with another instructor instead, stating that they "understood my frustration" and would "have a conversation with him." This completely dodges accountability. This service is not what I paid for and I will be having to go out of my way to file a charge dispute with my bank to make things right. I also reported him to the DMV already online. When I posted about the school and reporting the school to the DMV on my Instagram account, one of my old coworkers reached out to me. She's 18. I didn't even mention his name in my post, yet she had asked me "did you get Nathaniel?". I was like "how the heck did you know?" And apparently he had harassed her too. He thought she was underage and still proceeded to make inappropriate comments about her height. Take this review as a warning. This man shouldn't be teaching driving to anybody ESPECIALLY high schoolers because he is abusing his position of power to harass young girls and women. They responded to this review alerting me that they were advised to sue. As a response, I have attached the email, which includes no personal information about anyone whatsoever, in which they acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, not "small talk." They also included in their public response to my review that "lessons are 2 hours long and can be stopped at any time if students feel uncomfortable." This sentence honestly really frustrated me because I feel that it inappropriately shifts the responsibility onto me, a new driver who did not know where we even were on the road or how to get back to the school, to tell a man 3 times my size and double my age while alone in the car with him and reliant on his guidance, that I feel uncomfortable and wish to stop the lesson and head back. I consider this victim blaming. The fact that I reached out the day after and did everything I could to inform them of his behavior and state that I was no longer comfortable working with him after the lesson should have been enough for them to absolve me of blame from this situation. Their response speaks for itself. I stand by my review and encourage fellow Yelpers to always share their experiences, good or bad.
