    Gaby is such an amazing instructor! I got my permit when I was 18 and started lessons with her. I unfortunately had to take a long pause due to my summer job then starting school up again. A few weeks ago I started up lessons with her again and she immediately made me feel comfortable behind the wheel again. After 2 lessons with her I passed the Behind the Wheel test with only 2 points off! Thank you for everything Gaby!

On top of being calm, direct, and attentive, Brian's teachings were easy to understand, extremely clear, and most importantly SAFE. There's no expectation established or result promised: he truly believe in you wholeheartedly that you will succeed with your own ability. Being nervous on the road was one of my biggest weakness. A steady hand but unsteady mind create a great challenge to my livelihood. Richard, the second instructor, offered me great advice and exercises to calm my nerves. Taught me steering techniques that Nascar and F1 professional drivers would use for the cleanest and most consistent control over any vehicles. I never knew I had it in me to be assured that a decision I made, was the right one. The confidence I gained is priceless. Being calm and proactive knowing what to look out for and what to do NEXT is what I crave as a total beginner. Specifics and certainties. Brian is unironically the actual CHEAT CODE to my driving test. He knows exactly how the judges think and which route they'll take. It was almost unfair as I felt in the end, "Wait, it's that easy?" He prepared me for EVERY SINGLE possible obstacles. By practicing directly at the location around the city of where the DMV appointment was made. Ya boy nailed the test first try and passed with only 10 hours lesson driving on the road with him and Rich. I'm now a proactive, safe, and confident driver. I will miss their funny stories and jokes bantering with opposing driving schools or bad drivers passing by. They made it hilarious and fun.

The only thing is when scheduling her appointments and when purchasing. I didn't not get confirmations of her appointments and my purchase. I had to contact the business to confirm receipt.

    Everything was good until the third instructor…read more The first driving instructor slammed on the breaks every five minutes, even when it was an open road. He seemed overly nervous, but still was helpful nonetheless. The second instructor was wonderful, absolutely helpful, and really gave me some important tips to remember. Both of the first two called me when they were outside to let me know to come out. The third instructor was amazingly nice, but horribly unprofessional. It appears that he was used to dealing with 16 year olds and their parents, meaning that he was used to getting out of his car and knocking on front doors or going to school offices to retrieve his students while giving the parents a wholesome review of their child's progress. I am a 22 year old employed adult, you shouldn't be coming to my door or into my workplace to find me. Just call my phone. The day he came to get me, I had him pick me up from my place of work. It was my FIRST DAY on the job at a very prestigious firm. I was on my way back to work after taking a lunch, and my boss was aware that I was taking off for the afternoon because I had an appointment scheduled, but I didn't tell her what kind because I wanted to maintain my privacy, and she wasnt too concerned about my business anyways. I was under the impression that the instructor would call me when he was out front, like the first two had. I walked into my office to find two Ace Driving instructors standing at the front desk speaking to my boss and several of my coworkers, telling them who they were, what time my appointment was, and saying that they were looking for me. I quickly checked my phone to see how many times they'd called and I felt embarassed that I hadn't answered any of their calls, BUT THEY NEVER CALLED. They just walked into my office, spoke to my boss and coworkers, and completely embarassed me to pieces on my first day. My boss glared at me with confusion, and I told the instructors they were looking for me. They kept asking me to show them my learners permit, which was another detail I hadn't mentioned to my boss because she never explicitly asked about whether or not I could drive. I nearly melted of embarassment while leaving that office. I was already embarassed enough for not having my license at 22, but I didn't need that publicly outed to my boss and coworkers on my first day of my brand new job. For teens learning to drive, perfect place for you. For adults, look elsewhere, or at least don't have them pick you up from work. Tip for instructors: CALL YOUR STUDENTS BEFORE WALKING IN TO FIND THEM. You don't know what kind of situation you're walking in to.

She asked if there was classes for survival. Luckily I found California Survival School. We were fortunate to have Dan as the instructor. He background is quite extensive and impressive. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Although I thought my seven year old would get bored with the lecture portion, Dan kept the group engaged throughout. The hand on activities were our favorite, like building a tend properly. Both my daughter and I enjoyed the class and learned essential skills that can be used in everyday situations. Highly recommend the class for any age.

On the final day...I felt like I knew many of the other clients, and staff, there for much longer than the fees days we had shared together. I recommend these classes to anybody interested in learning techniques that could save your life in a multitude of situations in a positive environment with instructors that genuinely Love what they are doing. Had some amazing conversations with new friends by the fire pit at night as well. Adult class + camp. Adam (head instructor), Josh and Aiden (the staff I had for my courses) were fantastic with different but complimentary personalities and a wealth of knowledge that naturally engaged everybody. Only criticism is that the website says you can fish...but you won't have time.
