    Xuan Z.

    Passed my first road test after taking 4 classes with instructor Sandy. Yay! (I have only driven in parking lot prior to this, and am very scared of driving.) I was expecting to drive around in the parking lot during the first lesson, but she took me to the residential area and the main road. I was scared but this actually helped easing the anxiety, realizing that driving is not as scary as I thought. I actually got excited about driving after the first class :P She taught me how to read traffic signs and how to handle various traffic situations. Classes before the road test, we drove around the DMV to get familiar with the road, which was super helpful! As others have mentioned, the price is reasonable and scheduling is a breeze. Highly recommend!

    I am so happy that I passed my behind-the-wheel drive test on 6/14/2024 at the Fremont DMV on my first attempt! All thanks to my driving instructor, Raymond from Success Driving School! He's really knowledgeable, experienced, patient and supportive ever since I started driving lessons with him! Even on my last lessons before my test it was with a lady too who been helpful too, gave me helpful advices on being safe on driving ,and to have the courage to come to the appointment with me.

More recently we signed him up for their Drive Test Package which included a 1-hour pre-drivers test lesson with an experienced ex-DMV examiner and followed by a successful driving test at the DMV. Our first interaction with A-Z Driving School was with Erin, she was very helpful and thoroughly went over all the options of service they provide. The prices are fair, they offer continuously flexible session times, and their cars are clean and recent models. A-Z's driving instructors are professional, patient and exude great communication and experience to teach effectively. We'd like to extend special thanks to Erin, Dillion and Anita.

His first lesson was with Natalie. She was great. He was very nervous and she helped ease his nerves. After the lesson, she had wrote down the areas he needed to focus on. She went over it with both my son and me. He also got a checklist to prepare for the driving test. His next two lessons were with Steve, who was very professional and got him on the freeway and helped him with preparing for the exam including backing up. A few months later, we got two more lessons (4 hours). Erin again was a great help in helping schedule. He had another lesson with Steve. He also had another instructor Katie, also professional and helped him with parking and other areas he requested more practice with. My son passed his driving exam today on the first try. The foundations provided to him definitely helped. I've recommended A-Z to other parents looking for lessons.

He is probably the best instructor in the Bay Area, and he will get you confidently driving in no time! I did 9 lessons with Alan over a period of 1 month, and he took me from being not very confident (after trying out three lessons a different instructor) to passing my test and driving well on the freeway! This was done with zero practice in between lessons. Alan is extremely professional, is always on time, and delivers same day feedback. He also tailors his teaching style to the student's learning style, and is keen on understanding his students' thought process if mistakes are made, so they can be properly fixed. For every single weakness I had in my driving, Alan had a strategy to fix it - this included fixing my turning speed, correctly using my mirrors, lane positioning and keeping the wheel straight. He is adept at observing to see exactly what the student is doing wrong and coming up with a formula to correct it. Additionally, he is extremely professional. He was always punctual and polite, never raised his voice and never did anything that diminished my confidence in any way as a student who was initially struggling. I have always had some anxiety about driving, but I actually looked forward to my lessons because I started to enjoy driving as I could feel myself improving. On the day of the lesson, he made sure that I was confident and encouraged me not to feel anxious, and I was happy to pass on my first try. Scheduling is also easy on the website, and the response rate is fast. If you need to learn how to drive, you can't go wrong with Alan at Perfect Score!

I'm a freshly 20 year old female without any experience behind the wheel, and I mean any!! Unfortunately, my nerves got the best of me during my first lesson and I freaked out. I caused myself and my instructor some stress, and sadly I was unmotivated to drive for a while. Before I left a negative review, I contacted Bay Hill's through email. They made things right and scheduled my second appointment with JP, and he was fantastic! I went from shaking like a leaf behind the wheel to having genuine confidence in 2 hours-- No exaggeration! We drove around and shared a heartfelt conversation, in which he also shared some tips on lane switching and turns. Halfway through our session, we stopped for water and stretches, so I knew my comfortability was respected. The negative reviews on this business are so upsetting. This is an excellent Asian-owned, woman-owned small business with so much diversity on their staff. If your first lesson goes awry, contact them!!! They are bound to have someone you are comfortable with. This is an honest review! I could not recommend Bay Hill Driving School enough!

She would smack gum, eat food, and generally had an attitude of not caring. Only until my last class did she run me through a couple of rules but I never really learnt anything under her teaching. It was high pressure and everything I learned was like being tested without knowing there was a test or what the material was on. The only saving grace here is that the people at the office are great, they kindly signed my second permit and gave me another learning certificate for $25 when I lost my first one. I would shop around for a better driving school before settling on this one.

From the moment I walked in, the space smelled dreamy with all the essential oils and fragrances laid out--it already felt like a little retreat. We started by choosing our favorite scents, mixing and matching until we found the perfect combination that felt "us." Then came the slow, mindful process of melting wax, stirring with care, and finally pouring it into jars. Each step felt surprisingly therapeutic--almost like meditation in motion. What I loved most were the little tips & tricks shared along the way that make each candle unique. And the best part? Taking home something handmade that now fills my space with warmth and light. It's such a cozy reminder that sometimes the simplest activities can feel the most magical. If you're looking for a mindful, hands-on experience that lets you slow down, be creative, and leave with something beautiful--you'll love this class as much as I did.
