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.

Amazing score congrats!!

Congrats to both!!

Yelp, this is the place to find an event. I found #TSAWLA and actually attended. However, "Tasha…read moreSmith's Actors Workshop" made me think we'd be doing sensory exercises. So I dressed accordingly. How wrong was I.... Tasha Smith (professional actor and teacher) conducted a Master Class Scene Study, and let the public (Yelp) in to sit in the back rows to watch her conduct coaching sessions. She was quite insightful as Tasha offered valuable feedback that could easily be applied to your (my) own acting work. The evening started with a motivational talk. Then, Tasha's close friend, Brandy (actress and singer) joined in on the conversation. There were plenty scenes to go through.... Still, during and/or after every scene, Tasha critiqued and coached performances into betterment. Tasha produced immediate results from her students. I found her to be lively with methods, experience and stories. When the night was coming to an end, her producer friend showed up with a Martial Arts Grandmaster to Bruce Lee (r.i.p). The Grandmaster gave the workshop a lesson in martial arts and meditation with his son. I smiled at everyone, and talked to Tasha. She was so down to earth and knowledgable about acting. It was totally inspiring.... I am sooo ready for the feature film arena. I love Acting! TSWA in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California offers 1 class per week for a whole month at $200 (Raquel Gardner, Kevin Benton, Ryan Travis, Tasha Smith). It's a great deal for aspiring actors and professors seeking to keep their skillset up.
