    The instructors were on time, friendly, and seemed to know what they were doing. My son enjoyed it and learned the basics.

    They communicate well and are mostly flexible. We get a progress report emailed after every lesson and our daughter is learning well.

After trying to work with multiple other driving schools, this is the only one that helped me get behind the wheel again and reduce my anxiety. Kamran is an amazing instructor and kind business owner. He kept me calm and taught me the basics again in ways that I never was taught before, which helped me stop feeling so anxious. He also provided feedback and homework for me like follow-up videos as well as suggestions on how to practice on my own between lessons. I also had Dan and Luis as my two other instructors and they were very lovely to work with. Having multiple instructors can be helpful because they can explain similar situations in different ways and you never know which type of explanation will just click for you. They were all very flexible with helping me with the things that I needed most practice with and all very nice people to work with. I practiced with their Tesla because I have my own Tesla and I'm now driving local streets on my own. Now whenever I feel panicky, I remember my favorite thing that Kam said to me, "No one is chasing you. You can relax. No need to rush!"
