After warming up on city streets, we entered and exited freeways many times (during rush hour!) to practice merging, lane changes, and adjusting from highway driving back to city streets. I felt completely safe at all times. Michael gave me very practical instruction on checking the blind spot, watching for pedestrians, defensive driving, etc. The lesson cost $220. For my situation (licensed but inexperienced driver), one lesson was all I needed.

He was a huge help with my hip issues by providing a cushion to help ease my back pain and thereby helping me focus on defensive driving! His supportive but tough approach to defensive driving help me get over my behind the wheel anxiety. It was a great learning experience in addition to a thorough instruction in defensive driving fundamentals! Michael wong is worth the investment !

He taught both of our sons, and they both passed their driving tests on the first try. My older son took lessons with two instructors from other driving schools before working with Lawrence, and he said Lawrence was by far the best. He's patient, calm, encouraging, and explains everything clearly. He helped both of my sons build confidence while teaching them to be safe, responsible drivers. We've referred Lawrence to many of our friends, and they've all had great experiences as well. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional driving instructor who prepares students not just to pass the test but to become confident, capable drivers, I highly recommend Lawrence. He's always early for lessons, reliable, and a genuinely nice guy. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I rarely leave one-star reviews, but after spending a significant amount of money on driving…read morelessons for my daughter, I feel obligated to share our experience. My daughter took approximately 6-7 lessons with Daniel, paying around $180 per lesson. (Driver test day 250$$$) Throughout the entire process, she repeatedly came home frustrated, saying that much of the lesson time was spent talking rather than providing actual driving instruction and technical guidance. As a parent, I trusted that a professional instructor would be preparing her for success behind the wheel and for her driving test. What concerned me most was the timing and professionalism. After multiple paid lessons, Daniel suddenly suggested that my daughter might be better suited to a female instructor shortly before her driving test. If that was truly his professional assessment, it should have been communicated much earlier--not after weeks of lessons and hundreds of dollars spent. Instead of helping build confidence, my daughter felt increasingly nervous and discouraged. There were several interactions that left her feeling criticized rather than coached. A driving instructor's role is to teach, guide, and prepare students for success, especially when they are already anxious about an upcoming test. I cannot recommend Daniel based on our experience. We invested substantial time and money, yet received very little meaningful instruction compared to what we expected. Parents looking for a driving instructor should carefully consider whether they are receiving actual training, constructive feedback, and professional communication throughout the process. I hope this review helps other families make an informed decision before committing their hard-earned money.

While mindlessly trolling yelp reviews I stumbled upon Mr. Anatoly's business. I am so glad to see…read morethat he is finally on here, and that he is doing well. I thought it more than my duty to praise him for his stellar efforts as my driving instructor. Granted he was my instructor a few years ago, he was absolutely amazing. I came to him after a very poor experience with another instructor who would only take me down great highway and made every effort to avoid other cars and traffic. My experience with Uniworld Driving was the polar opposite. Anatoly was diligent and patient. He took me out on busy streets to ease my fear of driving, and really made certain that he replicated real-world driving experiences. Thanks to his efforts I passed my licensing exam the FIRST time around, actually, the DMV assessor got out of the car and shook his hand, praising him for being a great instructor! I now feel more than confidant behind the wheel, and thoroughly enjoy driving. I have no issues driving in the city and on the busy freeway (which is more than I can say for some of my female friends who were taught to be frighted on the road and fearful of other drives by overly cautious instructors). I would recommend Anatoly's driving school to absolutely anybody at any age, with any degree of driving experience!

He's got that middle aged Bay Area Filipino humor and he's very thorough and clear on what to do and how to drive. The lessons were comprehensive but not overwhelming. I think the best highlight of his lessons were the places we went. He and I drove from SF to San Mateo and back, and there was always a way to cram in practice on subjects like knowing what to do at an area with few stop signs or driving on the freeway. A very honest recommendation for people that want to learn driving.
