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.

Amazing score congrats!!

Congrats to both!!

There was unexpected huge volume traffic today on the freeway near the San Fernando valley, the individual operating this vehicle had intense road rage.

I was in a black truck. I didn't reply nor engage in his negativity. I did snap a picture to come back and review on this behavior.

I didn't see a tating at the time, or I definitely wouldn't have gone with this company! When I called they said I also needed to pay an extra $110 for the certificate he'll need to take to DMV later. I wasn't happy about it, but paid for it. Then more trouble ensued. I scheduled two 2 hour sessions. The driver was late to the first one. He didn't call or text or anything. The instructor texted us 20 min before the second appointment asking if my son could be there immediately. What?! It takes 20 minutes to get places in San Diego. Are you gonna have us beamed up or something?! The instructor refused to make an appointment for the third lesson. He said we had to do that theough the office. Of course, it's been a week and we haven't been able to get hold of anyone in the office. Their hours are only in the afternoon, and their door has a sheet of paper on it that's been there for several years, apparently, showing sign ins from some of the people who have had the same problems with the company we are having. So far, no resolution in sight! But please, please don't get ripped off by these guys (who apparently also go by A Plus Driving School too). Kids and cars are already an expensive combination. No need to add to the headache!

Andrew Hall, the owner, and operator of The School of Light offered to teach me one-on-one during a weekend workshop to make sure I was fully prepared and confident for the advanced darkroom class. In a weekend, my world changed. I learned the art and mechanics of film photography, sharpened my perspectives for light and shadow, processed my own film, and developed my own prints. Nothing is quite as exciting as watching your photograph come to life, or as empowering as knowing you have full creative control in the darkroom. Low and behold, I was fully equipped for the advanced class - which was nothing short of magnificent. Andrew is incredibly friendly, passionate, patient, engaging, inspiring, a true artist with a wealth of expertise, and an exceptional instructor for your journey into the darkroom. I've since taken numerous classes at SoL and continue to expand my creativity into exotic and uncharted realms. The people who attend Andrew's workshops are just as friendly and likeminded as you. Everyone gets along and encourages each other; it's indeed a splendid place.

More than just a well-equipped darkroom, Andrew's photographic experience is an incredible resource for Los Angeles photographers. Not only that, almost everyone I've met at print nights is equally passionate and excited about the creative process and makes the whole experience outstanding.
