I scheduled a driving lesson, but the instructor never showed up. The school didn't contact me in…read moreadvance to cancel or provide a heads-up. I had already taken time off work for the lesson and waited the entire time, expecting a call or text. It was very disappointing. On the bright side, I hadn't paid in advance, so at least I didn't lose money. You're better off scheduling with a school that is communicative or has multiple instructors who can step in if there are last-minute changes. Since I was never told who my instructor would be or given their contact details, I had no way to reach them to check if they were coming.

Raul is the worst instructor. I had a very bad experience with him where I felt very uncomfortable…read moreand discouraged due to his poor teaching, anger issues, frustration , lacking any patience, and extremely inappropriate/unprofessional behavior. He even called me "stupid" which is unacceptable and no driver instructor should ever disrespect a student driver which proves that he is unprofessional. This driving school and bad instructor is not worth your time and money. Avoid this driving school as it's a very unsafe learning environment at all cost unless you want to be heavily discouraged. It's not worth your money. You are better off spending your money at any other driving schools who has better, professional, and proper instructors that will actually have patience and encourage you instead than this bad instructor who will discourage you and lacks any patience in comparison. At any circumstances, your money is better of spent elsewhere.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - GRACE DRIVING SCHOOL…read more I am truly grateful for my experience with Grace Driving School. From the moment I learned they were family-owned and had female driving instructors, I already felt confident I was making the right choice. The moment I read all the wonderful reviews--especially about how fantastic they are with younger drivers--I made an immediate decision to go with them. I didn't even bother looking for alternatives, and I'm so glad I didn't. What I loved most is their simplified, non-overwhelming teaching techniques. They know exactly how to meet you where you are. Mariam- the adopted Leo in particular, is incredibly systematic and intuitive. She adjusts the learning style based on what works best for you. I'm a visual learner, and she would literally draw things out so I could clearly understand the concepts. That meant so much to me. And Manuel, The Zen Master -- hands down the most patient man I've ever encountered... and that's with me driving! His calm demeanor, steady guidance, and genuine care make you feel safe, supported, and capable. They set you up for success, step by step. I am truly honored to have been one of their students. The experience was absolutely worth it, and I can't recommend them enough. Humbled to be their student. If you're looking for driving lessons, don't think twice--enroll with Grace Driving School. You will be in the best hands.

When I moved back to Southern California and had to relearn how to drive, it was a stressful experience for both me and the family and friends who helped me practice. They were genuinely nervous riding with me at times, and I was especially anxious about lane changes, reversing, and parking. Oxford Driving School was able to fit me in for a same-week lesson despite my full-time work schedule, and the booking process was very smooth. I especially wanted to give my instructor, Chie, a shout-out. She was sweet, kind, encouraging, and very attentive to safety throughout our drive. She gave me clear, honest feedback about what I still needed to improve, particularly with parking, lane changes, speed, and traffic checks, while explaining corrections in a way that was constructive. I also appreciated that she struck a good balance between instruction and independence. She kept a close eye on what I was doing and stepped in when appropriate, but she also gave me opportunities to practice judging traffic gaps and making driving decisions for myself. She was sincerely invested in helping me understand how to reverse and park correctly rather than simply getting through the lesson. And somehow, she was in a great mood on a Saturday morning before 10 AM! As someone who is definitely not a morning person, I consider that a colossal feat. I had a very different experience with a driving school when I was a teenager, so I'm especially grateful for how positive and constructive this lesson was. Thank you, Chie and Oxford Driving School!

Classes with Chris were focusing on really helpful tips and driving skills that came really handy for the behind the wheel test AND real life. Highly highly recommend taking a class with Chris.

Just by taking a few of his class, I'm very comfortable driving now, thank you Chris!

I had two of the best driving instructors, Jose and Belica--huge shoutout to both of them! They were incredibly patient, and as someone who was honestly very nervous to drive for the first time, they made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. If you're a first-time driver, I highly recommend taking lessons with Belica. She's amazing and walks you through everything step by step until you feel fully ready to drive on your own. I also passed my driving test thanks to them! And another shoutout to Gabi, the sweetest receptionist, who makes sure every driving lesson and DMV test is scheduled perfectly and stress-free. I truly can't express how appreciative I am of Jose and Belica for their patience, encouragement, and support throughout the entire process. They made such a nerve-wracking experience feel manageable and I'm so grateful for everything they did to help me succeed.

I feel that their instructor Nathaniel harassed me. This man is probably around 50 and I'm 21 and I…read moreshowed up trying to learn how to drive, and he told me twice that my tattoo was "cute" (commented on two different tattoos) and that my voice was "cute." He also wasn't even a good instructor, we would get to a dead end and I'd have to ask him to turn left or right while being fully stopped. He reached over and adjusted my wheel slightly while on a residential street approximately 5 times without saying a word. I got annoyed and I asked him, "am I driving too close to the other cars?" to which he replied "yes." You're supposed to tell me that! I have reason to believe that it was partially to invade my space especially due to the flirty comments. I've never had another instructor behave this way before, tried him out and was disappointed. I asked for a refund for just that lesson after I had switched to another instructor for my remaining 4 hours I had prepaid as part of the package. I did this to not lose any more money to this company, and another instructor was sufficient for the remaining lessons. When I asked for one for ONLY the lesson with Nathaniel (which they should have offered in the first place), they offered me a complimentary lesson with another instructor instead, stating that they "understood my frustration" and would "have a conversation with him." This completely dodges accountability. This service is not what I paid for and I will be having to go out of my way to file a charge dispute with my bank to make things right. I also reported him to the DMV already online. When I posted about the school and reporting the school to the DMV on my Instagram account, one of my old coworkers reached out to me. She's 18. I didn't even mention his name in my post, yet she had asked me "did you get Nathaniel?". I was like "how the heck did you know?" And apparently he had harassed her too. He thought she was underage and still proceeded to make inappropriate comments about her height. Take this review as a warning. This man shouldn't be teaching driving to anybody ESPECIALLY high schoolers because he is abusing his position of power to harass young girls and women. They responded to this review alerting me that they were advised to sue. As a response, I have attached the email, which includes no personal information about anyone whatsoever, in which they acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, not "small talk." They also included in their public response to my review that "lessons are 2 hours long and can be stopped at any time if students feel uncomfortable." This sentence honestly really frustrated me because I feel that it inappropriately shifts the responsibility onto me, a new driver who did not know where we even were on the road or how to get back to the school, to tell a man 3 times my size and double my age while alone in the car with him and reliant on his guidance, that I feel uncomfortable and wish to stop the lesson and head back. I consider this victim blaming. The fact that I reached out the day after and did everything I could to inform them of his behavior and state that I was no longer comfortable working with him after the lesson should have been enough for them to absolve me of blame from this situation. Their response speaks for itself. I stand by my review and encourage fellow Yelpers to always share their experiences, good or bad.

My daughter had taken lessons from another company where the instructor was professional but not nearly as informative and thorough as Daniel was with me, the parent, about what he was going to teach before the session and what they did after the session. As other reviewers have mentioned, Daniel is so knowledgeable about every aspect of instructing "how" to be a good driver, why you need to maneuver the car this way or that way, and took my son on all sorts of streets and freeways and different situations. And yes, Daniel is very funny (in a subtle way, I've noticed myself) and very very patient. And my son can attest to these comments! If you're looking for a driving school, I HIGHLY recommend Cornerstone!
