    I just had to leave a review because I'm so happy right now lol. My son just passed his driving…read moretest on the first try and i honestly didn't expect that!! He only did like 10 hours of lessons with Mr. Lee and i couldn't believe how much he improved. As a parent i was really worried about finding someone who could actually work with a teenager you know how they can be lol. But Mr. Lee was super patient with my son the whole time, never got frustrated or anything. My son actually liked going to his lessons which is saying a lot haha. He teaches you in a way that's really easy to understand and my son said he always felt comfortable and knew what to do. The tips and techniques he showed him really worked because he remembered them during the actual test! Honestly if you have a teenager who needs to learn how to drive just go with Mr. Lee. I would 100% recommend him to any parent. So worth it!!

    I'm so thankful that I managed to squeeze in few classes before my test. Initially I had my family…read moreteaching me but it was a hot mess! Then i found Mr Lee on yelp. As everyone commented, he's been very patient and clear in giving instructions. He tried multiple ways to help me understand how I should correct my errors. At the end of each class, hee pointed out areas that I would need to work on and asked me to focus practicing on those areas. Thanks to Mr Lee that I am able to pass first time!

    I rarely leave one-star reviews, but after spending a significant amount of money on driving…read morelessons for my daughter, I feel obligated to share our experience. My daughter took approximately 6-7 lessons with Daniel, paying around $180 per lesson. (Driver test day 250$$$) Throughout the entire process, she repeatedly came home frustrated, saying that much of the lesson time was spent talking rather than providing actual driving instruction and technical guidance. As a parent, I trusted that a professional instructor would be preparing her for success behind the wheel and for her driving test. What concerned me most was the timing and professionalism. After multiple paid lessons, Daniel suddenly suggested that my daughter might be better suited to a female instructor shortly before her driving test. If that was truly his professional assessment, it should have been communicated much earlier--not after weeks of lessons and hundreds of dollars spent. Instead of helping build confidence, my daughter felt increasingly nervous and discouraged. There were several interactions that left her feeling criticized rather than coached. A driving instructor's role is to teach, guide, and prepare students for success, especially when they are already anxious about an upcoming test. I cannot recommend Daniel based on our experience. We invested substantial time and money, yet received very little meaningful instruction compared to what we expected. Parents looking for a driving instructor should carefully consider whether they are receiving actual training, constructive feedback, and professional communication throughout the process. I hope this review helps other families make an informed decision before committing their hard-earned money.

    I hadn't driven in 10 years. For an upcoming job interview, I need to prove that I can indeed…read moredrive, eventhough this is not a driving job. We live in interesting times. I looked up driving schools and gave Daniel a call yesterday. He had availability this morning and he picked me up at 10 this morning for a 2-hour course. He texted me when he was at my address, I came down, climbed into the drivers seat, and we were off! Daniel is calm. I give that statement it's own sentence because Daniel's calm instruction and gentle voice go a long way for anyone learning to drive, and for me just needing a refresher course. We drove through busy San Francisco, narrow China Town, turned left and right, parallel parked and practiced baking up. I nailed it, thanks to Daniel's excellent, calm instruction! I highly recommend his Excel Driving School!
