    Tony was nice, he gave confidence to my 22 years old son and helped him overcome his worry of failing at the driving test.

    When I first booked the behind the wheel for my child with Lindsey, I made an agreement for 3…read morelessons package at a certain price. Because I was uneasy paying up front for all 3 lessons, Lindsey said I could pay for each lesson by check at the time of my appointment. This sounded great. Bill ended up being my child's driving instructor for the first lesson. Like other people have said, he did have his hand on the steering wheel most of the time, not allowing my child to have their own control. I thought this was weird, but honestly, I just needed the lesson for dmv purposes. Fast forward to several months later and I try to book the last 2 lessons. Because it's a new year now, the male on the phone said the price had gone up. I understand. The price went up. But I already had made a pre existing agreement with Lindsey, so my initial quoted prices should be locked in and honored. I already had the first lesson. The male on the phone was very insistent that even though I had spoken with Lindsey on pricing, I still have to pay the new increased price. Now how is this fair? I'm still waiting to hear back from him...so we shall see how great of a company they are....or how money hungry they really are.

    My daughter just finished her second lesson with Shelley. What I really liked about this school:…read more 1) They encourage the parent to go along on the drive so you can learn how to instruct your child and be consistent with what the instructor is emphasizing. 2) There was no down time sitting in the car listening to the instructor. The two hour driving lesson was spent with my child driving - that's what I paid for! 3) The lessons have been challenging. I can do the easy stuff with my child; I want the two hour lesson to bring her to the next level. Shelley had her practice what she would need to know for the test and also what she would need to know for real driving (freeway lane changes, merging, narrow mountain road, etc.). 4) I also liked that I paid per lesson and didn't get hooked into three lessons from the beginning. Yes. we will do all three lessons with Shelley, but if the first lesson hadn't gone well then we didn't have any commitment. 5) My daughter's review "Ms. Shelley is a hoot. No really, she's a good teacher." Before the first lesson, my daughter was very scared. She even asked if she could cancel it. Shelley put her in the driver seat quickly, so she didn't have time to increase her anxiety. Shelley stayed calm and gave her confidence pointing out how well she was doing. And like I said, Shelley made it challenging (from Danville drove South Gate to North Gate roads then down Ygnacio through Walnut Creek) so that no matter where I took her during our practice in between lessons I could just refer back to her lesson and say this isn't as hard as what you did on your lesson.

    William Hill is an outstanding driving instructor. I have three kids, and with our first child we…read moreused a different instructor who mostly just provided behind-the-wheel time with very little actual instruction. The difference with William was night and day. A friend recommended William when our second child was ready to learn, and I am so grateful they did. He takes time before and after each lesson to explain techniques, review what was practiced, and clearly outline what to work on next. He truly prepares students for the driving test, including sharing specific insights into what test administrators are looking for. Because of his thoroughness and thoughtful approach, I feel completely confident recommending William--even to my most selective friends. On top of all that, his pricing is very reasonable for the level of instruction and care he provides. An excellent value and an excellent instructor.

He recommended for her last appointment to be the day of her drivers test. He went through the routes near the dmv, worked on things that we had mentioned and made sure to follow up with her. He always arrived on time and ended on time. I would highly recommend William for anyone that needs drivers training.

    Strange: there are no other yelp reviews, even though Bill seems extremely busy with clients all…read moreday every day. My wife and I are ~30 and had Bill teach us on two separate days. Here are his strengths and weaknesses: Strengths: Very knowledgeable and friendly. Good car. Explains concepts clearly and knows the routes the DMV uses. Weaknesses: Is easily excitable, which is a dangerous trait to have as a driving instructor. Make a mistake and Bill will get nervous, raise his voice, and start repeating himself. This will get you more nervous, and decrease your confidence and focus. Understandable perhaps for big mistakes, but it occurs with minor mistakes too. This bothered my wife so much she did not want a second lesson. I decided to give Bill another shot, but on the second lesson he got so insufferable I had to pull over and ask him to calm down. I recognize he is concerned with safety, but he tended to make situations worse. On top of all this he has a heavy accent, which sometimes hinders communication.

    Bill was easy to contact and book; many driving schools only have voicemail and then never call you…read moreback. He arrived promptly for each lesson and even picked up at school one day for the ultimate convenience. I would recommend Bill highly. My son told me he was very patient, and fun to be around.
