He's polite, respectful, and always focuses on safety and awareness. He's great at catching and correcting bad habits quickly--like drifting out of your lane, fixated vision or steering incorrectly. He also teaches you how to drive with a sense of urgency when needed to stay out of harm's way. If you want an amazing instructor, definitely select Marcus' name when booking online.

This lady absolutely does not deserve to be an instructor. Strict, mean, slammed onto the brakes multiple times NONE of them being safety reasons. Just because she wanted to. Made me cry. Said things like "how are you even going to pass your test". Mind you my text was the following day. Making me even more nervous. And the funny thing is of course I passed my driving test at the dmv LOL. But what I want to say is if you are thinking of choosing this school. DONT.. My other friend also said that Margarita was a horrible person to be an instructor as well. Hope she gets removed from this facility.

Hate to say it but I can't recommend Roosevelt. Seems like a nice guy, but he only had my son drive…read more1 hour of the 2 hour lesson (because we don't live in poway and that's where he "always does it" so Roosevelt did the driving for 20 minutes down, 20 minutes back and then stopped for a personal errand. I had already paid and was going to just write it off as awkward, but then when I needed a letter from him for the other driving school we went with for the other lessons, he would not write it and said he doesn't work with other schools. The other school said they have heard of him and actually ahvea concerns that he may not have a valid license anymore (that's not verified). Just not sure why he wouldn't write the letter - he said he doesn't even have any way of writing a letter?

Should have listened to some of the reviews first. Would definitely be negative stars if possible…read more One of the worst experiences I have ever encountered with a business. I finally fired Roosevelt after the second lesson. He not only stood us up once, but yes two times. After making work schedule adjustments and expecting my son to be picked up..............no show, no call twice! When confronted on the phone, he blew up and started threatening comments. I would definitely recommend looking in Carlsbad first!

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.

I'm told they were more calm than I was, which is likely true, as the further she progressed through the courses, the better (safer) my daughter drove and, the calmer I was. She thought it was a great course (both online and behind the wheel), and both instructors were great.

I would absolutely recommend this company over and over to anyone needing driving lessons! You can…read morebook your appointment online through their website. 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.

About 5 minutes later "the owner" who refused to provide his name, called me and cussed me out, called me a "little b***h" and told me to "go f*** myself 5 or 6 times" I would never trust these people to drive your kids around. Absolutely disgusting excuse of a business. Edit - So apparently the owner's name is Frank. @Frank, regarding your response, no one was nasty to your staff, nor did I curse at you once. You have a screw loose, but you do you. If you think that publicly acknowledging that you took the time to pick up the phone and call one of your customers to cuss them out is a good look for your company then more power to you. It is not hard for me to imagine why it would be hard for someone like you to retain your staff - I feel sorry for the people in your charge. Edit #2 - LOL at the owner editing his first response. Buddy needs to learn some self-control. Glad my kid did not wind up in one of his cars!
