Jacob is excellent! Life is busy, and we thought it would be extremely difficult to get our 16-year-old licensed--especially with all the Honolulu Graduated Driver Licensing Program requirements, which felt intimidating to us as newbies. Thanks to Jacob, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was responsive, patient, and an excellent communicator, guiding us step-by-step through exactly what needed to be done. Our daughter attended six consecutive Sunday classroom sessions and, despite some initial apprehension, ended up really enjoying herself. Jacob made the classes fun and engaging with group assignments, skits, videos, and friendly competitions. He even bought boba for the winners--which alone would have won our daughter over! As an added bonus, she got to know students from other schools. The one-on-one behind-the-wheel sessions were just as wonderful. Jacob's car has a passenger-side brake, which eased a lot of our fear and helped our daughter progress much faster. Over the course of the required 50 hours of parent-child driving practice, we noticed a clear boost in her confidence after every session with Jacob. It was also incredibly helpful that he took her on the actual test route the day before her exam, which made her feel fully prepared. Our daughter "passed first crack," and we couldn't be happier! To top it off, Jacob highlights his students' accomplishments on Instagram, which is fun and motivating. We were so fortunate to have found him--Jacob is truly the best! read more

Excellent class and on the road. My daughter was very comfortable with Mr. Wong. Passed on the first try. Thank you Mr. Wong!

There are numerous driving schools to choose from, but we chose Driving Alliance School due to a recommendation from a friend whose son took lessons from Mr. Wong. And Mr. Wong definitely did not disappoint. My son first attended the required 6 weeks of classroom instruction with Mr. Wong. Then followed up with 3 (2 hour sessions) behind the wheel sessions with Mr. Wong. These behind the wheel sessions were definitely most helpful with my son gaining the confidence he needed to start driving. I know Mr. Wong was able to answer any questions my son would have had and Mr. Wong is definitely better equipped to teach my son the rules of the road more than I am. I know that it's because of Mr. Wong's instruction that my son was able to pass his road test on his first attempt. And even more so, he got as perfect score! Thank you Mr. Wong! read more

Jacob's business partner Brian was excellent at helping my daughter Melina *PASS* HER ROAD TEST!! She has ADHD, so it took her a few attempts, and Brian patiently helped her learn the road test routes & exactly what the examiners were looking for; highly recommend! read more

With Jacob 's teaching in the classroom and behind the wheel my son was able to pass his driving test on the first try. He made my son feel prepared and confident for his road test. Jacob's tips on parallel parking really helped him on the test. His knowledge of the test route helped in knowing what to expect on test day. read more

Mr. Wong's approach to teaching is very effective. He covered the boring but important fundamentals in a way that made sense which helps the student apply it to actual driving situations. He was very clear about his role, the students role and our role as parents (who are also driving teachers) in this process. Most of all, he made learning FUN! I HIGHLY recommend Mr.Wong! 100 STAR REVIEW!! read more

Mr. Jacob is great. Works with the kids & makes the sessions fun. My son passed his test on the first try! Thank you Mr. Jacob! I highly recommend JW Driving for those who need lessons! read more

JW Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me

Highly recommend! Jacob is an amazing instructor! He goes beyond what we expected. We needed to wait a few months to start the course due our son's extra-curricular activities. Jacob kept us in the loop to ensure our son would be in the next available class when our son was able. During the duration of the course, Jacob was very interactive and responded to texts almost immediately. He took the time to answer all our questions. We had a lot because driving rules changed quite a bit since we had to get our license! He is flexible and willing to work with what works for the family during the behind the wheel sessions. He was also very supportive and helpful when our son needed to get his license as well! OUR SON DID PASS ON HIS FIRST TRY!!! I know Jacob's course and sessions contributed to this! There are lot of schools out there and some of their instructors are older and cannot quite connect with their students because of the age gap. Due to Jacob being younger, he is able to connect with his students in a special way. The students can identify with him and know they cannot get away with certain things because he has been through it and has the experience. Needless to say, Jacob is great and we highly recommend!!!! read more

JW Driving School - PASSING ON HIS FIRST TRY! - Driving Schools Near Me

Highly recommend! Jacob's classes were conveniently online and both fun and educational. The behind the wheel sessions also helped prepare her for the road test. This was my first child going through this so everything was new to me, but Jacob was super patient and helpful with the process and requirements, and answered any questions I had along the way. I'm very grateful for all his help with my daughter! read more

Long due review! My apologies Jacob. By far, above and beyond the best instructor/ teacher out there. With all the choices we have for driving school, what made us decide to go with Driver Education Alliance/ JW driving school, after researching and reading reviews from yelp and google, one thing stood out. Jacob is young! And students (teenagers) can relate to him. So, communication was a BIG PLUS in my opinion when it comes to teenagers. To some parents out there, Don't be dissuade of Jacob's age (being young) he is old enough to teach our teenagers, and he is an actual teacher by career. JW driving is something extra he does aside from his teaching job. This alone tells me how much he enjoys teaching, and it really shows. My kids were able to endure 5-6 hour classes on the weekend. I heard them laughing and very engaging, and that's because Jacob makes it fun for them to learn. He makes them do presentations, hence the students are really taking the time to learn and understand. Jacob is very dedicated to our children. He has a classroom full of teenagers, but I feel like my kids were getting private lessons from him because that's how dedicated he is to each student (We're not just a number of faces that he sees daily). He made sure that the kids were really prepared for written and driving exam. He took the time to take them in different routes, whether it's in Wahiawa or Kapolei. He made sure to find each of our kids comfort level. Now that's dedication ensuring to see his students succeed! Honestly, i cannot thank Jacob enough. He is so patient with the kids that he was able to ease our stress and anxiety. We live in town and I will drive all the way in Mililani because I know Jacob will take away all the anxiety we have when the kids were learning to drive But it doesn't end there. He truly cares about the students and the parents too. He is very accommodating and will always try to make scheduling work for the entire family. He is prompt. He is also good at sending reminders which is a big plus for busy parents. And at the end of each lesson, he gave us tips/ feedbacks, which helped us a lot during the kids own driving hours. There's a lot more I can say, but if you're looking for a driving instructor for your teen, look no further than JW Driving School or in IG, Drivers Education Alliance / Jacob Wong read more

We're so happy we were able to get into JW Driving School! Mr. Wong from the beginning has been so helpful to us with signing up for the classes, doing the behind the wheel training and even informing us on getting signed up for road test. We scheduled my daughter's road test a few days after we finished the course and she passed! We both are super grateful for his constant communication (reminders, updates, instructions/directions) on how to get it done! I am referring all my family and friends to him and look forward to having my 2nd child go through the courses as well. read more

Jacob was a great Driver's Education instructor for our daughter. Most schools we looked at were filled up and the waitlist was months away, but Jacob slid us right in the very next session. Coming from town, I was a little concerned about the distance, but because all of the classes were online, we only had to drive out to Wahiawa a couple of times. Plus, Jacob was very accommodating in allowing us to consolidate my child's behind the wheel drives to fewer, longer drives to save us an extra trip out west. Communication via text was very convenient and Jacob's responses were very prompt. He gave great tips and pointers and drove my daughter around the testing course to get her familiar with the routes. He gave her the confidence she needed to pass on her first go at the Wahiawa testing site and we are so glad we went with JW Driving School! I've already recommended them to several friends and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a driver's education school for themselves or their teen. read more

Chose this driving school for my son on a recommendation from a friend. So glad I did! Mr. Wong was very professional, seemed to connect with the kids well, and kept the classroom instruction exciting and entertaining. When it was time for the behind the wheel section of the course, he was amazingly calm, cool, and collected, which in turn, allowed my son to be more relaxed and comfortable while learning to drive. My boy passed his test first crack! Will definitely send anyone looking for driving lessons to JW Driving School! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. Wong. He was patient, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the start. Each lesson was well-organized, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, helping me improve my skills on the road. I always felt supported, even during stressful moments...like the time i stepped on the gas instead of the brake lol. Highly recommend if you're looking for an instructor who's calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your success. also the classroom part of JW driving school is legit! not only was it a great experience for meeting new friends, i also learned driving knowledge and etiquette that made sure i wasn't a hazard on the roads. read more

JW driving School is by far the best! My son started his 6 week zoom course this past November 2024. He was able to complete his 4 behind the wheel sessions in February. I scheduled his driving test the next day after his last session, and he PASSED! Mr. Wong's approach and teaching style is very down to earth and relatable to his students. Which is important for kids nowadays so they can pay attention to what's important. My son enjoyed Mr. Wong's classes and his humor! Thank you again for your time and effort! read more

My son just passed his driving test with a 100 percent and I attribute that to his teacher Jacob Wong!! Jacob knows how to motivate teenagers and had great rapport with them. He challenged my son during the classroom portion of Driver's Ed and was patient for Behind the Wheel. One day o dropped my kid off for driving and he didn't know how to park, afterwards he had tips and tricks and now can parallel park better than most people. I highly recommend JW Driving School! read more

My daughter passed her road test on her very first try! Unfortunately, her friends have not been successful and some on their 3rd road test attempt. The difference is definitely Jacob Wong and his driving school. We live in Hawaii Kai but we were willing to drive to Mililani for behind the wheel with Mr. Wong because his school is known to have a high percentage of students passing their road test on the first attempt. He is knowledgeable. He is patient but strict. He is great with the kids. If you are hesitating to book a class, don't. read more

Excellent instructor who is patient and very knowledgeable. He took the time to help my son gain confidence in his driving skills, so he could pass his road test on first try. Thx!! read more

Highly recommended driving school! Instructors are attentive and have good communication skills. Considering me being old school where driving school wasn't mandatory, as a parent signing up her kid I was lost. But Travis and Jacob made the process easy by being good in communicating on how the process works. They even helped me get a head start with my son with classes so by the time he was aged to get his permit, he was already eligible to take the test right away. Not only my son learned alot about the rules but so did I. Lol There was some things I didn't know that the instructors taught him. Like the easy way to parallel park lol. So yes, a 16 year old had to teach his mom how to parallel park! Haha They're behind the wheel lessons are worth it. What's good is they'll make you practice around the testing site that you choose few days before your road test appt. It's worth every penny and a must if you don't want your child to be on the waitlist with the driving schools affiliated with their school. I heard it's super long and can take a year or 2. Drivers education alliance will take you in quickly. read more
