If you want a driving instructor that makes you feel comfortable as well as give you details on what you need to work on the most, Joe is one to request. He is very kind and understanding, and will guide you through anything you need help on. I strongly suggest Joe as your driving instructor. read more

My driving instructor was Doreen and she's professional and informative. She was very patient and helpful at answering all my questions. She also went through the evaluation criteria of the road test with me and showed me one of the test routes at my designated DMV. I feel a lot more confident now in driving and to take the road test after my 6-hour lessons with Doreen. read more

Want to start off by saying that I passed my behind the wheel test on my first try!! That being said when I came to them I had little practice and knowledge of the road. Highly recommend Joe. He told me the important rules and necessary points that instructors would be checking. Thankful that I found this school and they were able to fit my schedule! read more

I can not say enough great things about Doreen and her driving school! I was a very nervous learner/ driver and Doreen had the patience of a saint with me. I had been fighting the fear for years and finally after lessons with Doreen I passed my test first time. She is a wonderful teacher and even more wonderful person. I can not recommend her enough. She is very flexible and very reliable. read more

This is an awesome driving school and was totally worth it! I just passed my behind the wheel test on the first time Friday. The driving instructor, Frank, was patient during each lesson and explained everything I needed to be a safe driver. I definitely recommend this school. Its DMV approved, affordable, and very helpful. read more

Our driving instructor Doreen was so helpful... we would highly recommend this company and this instructor! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable....Great experience! read more

Our first experience was outstanding. So pleased I wanted to get refresher course for my 18 year old son who is not a real confident driver. I have called 7.....Yes 7.....7 times over the last 2 weeks and no one has returned my call. Business must be good! UPDATE We managed to connect with Express Driving and they really came through! Howie was fantastic. On time, friendly, patient and kind. He offered great feedback. Would highly recommend. read more

I called Frank first for price... and second because he comes to us!.. he was sweet and quiet and did a really good job with both my daughters. my youngest had not even stepped foot in a car before and now she has been driving to school and back practicing to take her test. My oldest worked with Frank and we also paid for the Drive test service where he picked her up for the test and took her there. Taylor was diagnosed Autistic when she was younger and driving has been a little bit of a challenge for her and with Frank's guidance and help with all this the experience was very comfortable for Taylor and SHE PASSED HER TEST. I highly recommend Frank and Express Driving School. Very Pleased. read more

I can't appreciate this driving school enough! Joe is the best driving instructor!! I was quite anxious abt taking driving lessons but he made it so fun and encouraged me a lot along the way:) He is passionate abt what he does and it really shows from the way he cares abt his students. He was really invested in making sure I pass the driving test and become more confident on the road. I cannot believe that I managed to pass the driving test on my first try! I've come a long way from when I started and it's all thanks to Joe! I couldn't have done it without his encouragement:) He goes the extra mile to care for his students and is more like a friend than a driving instructor. I hope he goes on to help many more students the way he helped me! read more

I had such an amazing experience with express driving school! I had never driven before and I was extremely nervous for my first lesson but Joe was incredibly friendly and I immediately felt comfortable. He taught me everything I needed to know in a short amount of time. I went from not knowing how to start a car to a confident and capable driver with just a few lessons and managed to pass the driving test on my first go, I'm so happy! read more

Frank is a very good driving instructor. He is very calm, very professional, and really teaches well. I booked a lesson with him and asked him to arrange my appointment at DMV. He was very patient too when we had to wait almost 2 hours at the DMV just to be tested on behind-the-wheel, didn't even charge me for that. I passed at first try with just 2 mistakes from driving maneuvers. I highly recommend him! read more

A big thank you to joe , I had a lot of fear of driving after our car crash but joe was always really patient and super nice he makes you feel really comfortable while driving make sure you schedule you're appt and request joe he is one of the best instructors i pass my driving test on the first try thank you read more

Superb instructor :D Doreen is very patient and kind. She made sure that I will be safe and confident out on the road! I passed the test on first try too~ She was always on time, focused, and made the lessons fun so I looked forward to them ^^ read more

Doreen is awesome, my daughter was completely confident, and felt comfortable with her instructor, very professional, and best price I found around, I called a few places, and first thing they would say was "pay online and call back!" But I had so many questions! I don't trust anyone with my kids!! She was already practicing with us, but driving school definitely made her more confident, and helped me as an over protective mom gave me peace of mind, she passed her test with flying colors! First try! Was back within 10 minutes! And is now is licensed read more

This review is long overdue. I've had my license for over three years and when I needed to do the behind the wheel practice I came to express driving school. They are absolutely amazing it turned out that Doreen was actually my teacher from middle school so it was even more fun to learn how to drive with someone who I was very familiar with and very comfortable with. I remember I recommend express driving school to all my friends were still learning how to drive my little sister will be taking her lessons here soon read more

For a while I had been putting off getting my drivers license. Friends & family tried to help me, but I got too nervous. I decided look up some good local hands on driver training to get me prepared for my behind the wheel test. I came across "Express Driving School" and signed up for some lessons. Doreen was my instructor and was always one time for our appointment. She made me feel really comfortable with driving, and after to two days of 2-hour driving sessions with her and took my behind the wheel and got my driving license a few days ago. Totally with the price and Doreen is an excellent driving instructor. I'm 28 years old, Express Driving School definitely helped me, and got me over my fear of failing at driving. read more

I am one happy student! Just literally 15mins ago, I just got my license! I just moved here in SD and one of my goals is to get my license, I didnt know any driving school so I just randomly chose in google and Im glad I made the right choice! I would like to mention Howie, he was my instructor! He was very patient, very encouraging and good motivator too! He will praise you when you do good and will give you helpful reminders and advices when you make mistakes. You guys are awesome! read more

I would highly recommend Express Driving School and Joe to anyone learning to drive. After moving to San Diego and having never driven before, I really needed to learn quickly to get to work. I took four lessons with joe and passed the test on the first try. He made me super confident driving and was always really flexible and accommodating with lesson times. This is my first review on Yelp, I had to write one because they are so awesome and I'm able to drive like a pro because of them :) read more

Superb 5 stars or more for them!I highly recommend this driving school to anyone in need of a DL here in San Diego. I was browsing the web for a driving school coz I desperately need to have a DL ASAP & found this, reviews are great & so without hesitation I inquired & talked to Doreen & arranged a sched the earliest, I took the package with the DMV test. I never thought Doreen will also be my instructor, I really had the instinct that she is heaven sent( having the same name with my baby girl) & she really is! Doreen is really awesome, accommodating,her patience is inimitable, I overcome my fear of being behind-the-wheel and gain confidence through her encouragement & I WAS ABLE TO GET MY MOST COVETED DL with my first take. Thank you so much Doreen! May your business continue to grow... Keep it up read more

I got Joe as an instructor and he's so nice, patient and professional. He makes you feel comfortable while driving and helps you correct little bad habits. I booked the express package, which is 3 classes and test. I was able to get my license in 3 weeks thanks to him! I did one class a week and then did my final class before my exam (which was super helpful just to get comfortable) , and I passed with only 1 error! Thank you so much Joe! read more

I was very indecisive to pick a driving school for myself, however I saw the great reviews Ms. Doreen got, and they were completely accurate. She was very patient and honest about what my performance as a driver, and she was a great conversationalist. I believe this school is much better than Bonita, because the instructors are actually invested in their students and are dedicated to helping you pass. Thank you Ms. Doreen! read more

I got my first class yesterday with Frank and it was simply awesome! I was very worried as I didn't drive much before getting my first class and Frank was nice, very calm and patient with me. He took his time to show me everything I needed to know, answer my questions and chat a bit to take away the stress. He also helped me understand my mistakes to improve. I highly recommend his classes. I will take more as I will get better with him. Best school ever don't look further. :) read more

My daughter had her first driving instruction yesterday and Joe was fantastic. She said she was very comfortable driving with him and he gave her lots of good advice and great instruction. He was very nice to meet us at the DMV right after she took the exam and we were very happy with his services and she is looking forward to further lessons. read more

Request Joe! I am so appreciative of the experience I had with this driving school and with Joe. I have always been hesitant about driving out of fear and a few bad incidents behind the wheel. So I figured I'd opt for a thorough educational driving experience. Joe was incredibly kind and especially patient with my level of skill and helped me improve my abilities as a driver with every lesson. He mapped out exactly what it meant to be a SAFE driver and kindly corrected me each moment I made a driving error during my driving lessons. He taught me the rules of the road and provided me with excellent study material and a list of things to practice as a friendly reminder to improve upon for a better driving execution during the actual test. It was incredibly helpful to have had material to focus on and to correct and to always keep in mind on the road. Joe was kind enough to show up earlier than expected and worked around my hectic schedule and even scheduled my lessons for me. He really personalized my lessons and helped me get familiar with the roads and the type of area I'd have my official test. He hit every step of what the DMV would test me on and made sure I remembered what I was doing correctly and what I needed to improve. He also patiently had me practice maneuvers I struggled with to ensure I had it down rather than give a critique. When my final test came around he practiced with me once more with the time he had to spare and made sure all of my major errors were corrected. I finally took my last behind the wheel test and proudly passed with only one error. Which surprised me! Joe gave me an amazing, professional lesson and plenty of advice when he could and always kept me feeling confident instead of stressed and educated instead of skeptical. I can definitely say Joe has instilled in me the knowledge it takes to be a safe and responsible driver. And I'll always value and carry on driving the way he taught me to. Thank you Joe! I also admire the level of knowledge and professionalism this driving school has taught its instructors, I felt as if I was learning something of value every time I was under Joe's instruction. Thank you to the team at Express Driving School! For anyone who is in need of an experience that is extremely hands on and that is essential to improvement I'd recommend you ask for Joe. He will evolve your ability and make sure you never ever regress. He'll be patient and you can be sure that he cares about not only you passing your test, but also teaching you how to DRIVE AND DRIVE SAFELY. Joe taught me to drive beyond just passing a test, he taught me how to drive for life. Thank you for the education, I will always appreciate it and apply it on the road. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Highly recommended!!! Doreen was awesome with my son! Taught him all the important skills he needs to be a good driver and was very nice and patient!! Will be using you in 2 years with my next son read more

My Dad recently failed at a Chula Vista, CA Driving school that had several 5 star review. So, I asked him to try Express Driving School. Frank was the instructor. He was very patient and understanding. He came to pick him up and taught him how to drive. He also made time available to take my Dad for drive test and he did pass this time. Definitely recommend Frank as driving instructor. read more

I had the pleasure of getting Doreen as my instructor. Aside from the usual business of her patiently turning me into a great driver, Doreen was very friendly and made the journey to getting my license a breeze. She made learning easy by pointing out what I should improve and giving great tips. Doreen made me feel like more than just another student and I'm thankful I got paired with her because now I am a licensed driver! I highly recommend express driving school! If I could give it more stars I would. read more

I signed up at Express Driving School to complete my mandatory 6 hours of behind-the-wheel before getting my license. I was a fairly comfortable driver before this class, but after the help from my instructor Doreen, I gained the confidence I needed to become a good driver. I was very prepared for my DMV behind-the-wheel test and passed on my first try! Doreen always showed up at my house promptly, ready to instruct, and gave great driving tips. I highly recommend Express Driving School. Not only is a the best deal in San Diego is has incredible behind-the-wheel classes. I could not have asked for a better experience read more

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing to learn or practice driving. My instructor Joe was super helpful and patient with me with each of my lessons and took his time explaining everything and make sure I was confident and ready to pass which I did. If possible, definitely ask for Joe since he's a great instructor. read more

This place is amazing, frank was such a great teacher, I am 25 years old and have never sat behind a wheel before, frank was super patient with me and thought me well, I took my driving test this morning and passed! I tell everyone I meet to call frank if they need to get a refresher or learn like me, so glad I found this school, of I could I would rate it 100 stars. read more

I opted for this driving school looking at the reviews on yelp. And it was so worth it. Driving school is really responsive in setting up your first lesson. After that if u find Joe on ur first class, consider urself to be the luckiest person. I cant stop writing about how awesome a person is Joe. He is not just a great teacher, but even greater human being. I had awesome experience on all my 3 classes. Unfortunately, I failed the test for the first time because of my silly mistake. But that didn't stop Joe from motivating me to take it again. I took another class with him and finally took test today and passed. Joe is literally taking test with you virtually. He has exact same feeling as student. How many teachers have that quality. I am really happy I met Joe and would be friends with him forever. He is a great teacher and is super kind. He will make sure u pass the exam. Dont even think about anything and start ur lessons with him. Thanks Joe, I owe you always YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER read more
