Fibi is very nice. It was fun talking to her during our lessons and she taught me everything I know when I had my permit. I've now had my license for half a year. Thank you! read more

What an awesome experience!!! We are so appreciative of Fibi!!! She is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Made my daughter feel comfortable and confident! Highly recommended!!! read more

Two years ago, I took my behind the wheel test and failed for all three times(two times due to critical errors and one time due to driving too slow).This year, I practiced for two months during the summer. And today I finally passed!! Surprisingly, I failed on Tuesday and was lucky enough to get another appointment (some people canceled their appointments so a time became available for me). I got a critical error on Tuesday (driving too slow for lane change to the left) and today I passed with only one error! Huge thanks to Ali from Union Driving School. Ali is very strict and his attitude (when you make a mistake) might intimidate you at first. However, he cares about you and wants you to succeed in the driving test. His teaching method is very professional and he is so knowledgeable in driving. I also want to appreciate him for taking the effort in writing down some tips in his notebook to help me improve during the lesson. Special thanks to Fibi, who called me after I passed to congratulate me! Although Union's service might be a little bit more expensive than other companies, it is by far the best driving school that I have ever had. I failed on Tuesday using Vista Driving School's car and the lady's teaching method and attitude made my experience very unpleasant before the test. Overall, Union is a reliable company to work with if you want to enhance your driving skills and ace the test! I would recommend to take an hour brush up class with them before the exam(I took the one hour lesson and used their car for the test). read more

Comfortable and understandable training for preparing for driving test. I didn't have my own car and I hadn't been driving for about a year before the test, but I liked the driving preparation lessons before the test and renting a car for the driving test.All okay. read more

I don't know how to drive before i got here to the US. I thought it would be very hard for me to learn how to drive. My friend recommended Phoebe (Fariba). I did 10 hour sessions since I'm a newbie. She helped me a lot throughout my course even brought me to the freeway. She is very calm,patient and excellent teacher. I passed my driving exam on my first attempt! I am very thankful to her that I have conquered my hesitations in driving. I absolutely recommend her and Union driving school! read more

Union Driving Schools - Driving Schools Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I needed to find someone with a car to accompany me to the DMV for my driving test. I got a last minute COVID reschedule from the Winnetka DMV and it just so happened that the car I was planning on using wasn't going to be available. I found Union Driving Schools online and I decided to give it a shot. Bought a 2 hour lesson for the day before, and a 1 hour lesson the day of the test to review. My instructor Fibi was a tremendous help! She took me on all possible test routes around Winnetka to make sure that I was prepared for anything. She gave me helpful tips that I would've never thought of myself, but also in a calm and respectful way (I once had a driving instructor that would yell at me and me feel uncomfortable-- this was not the case here!) so I'm glad I decided to take this lesson! The day of the test, I felt pretty confident with everything I learned. Fibi accompanied me and knew exactly what she was doing, so I felt pretty calm, And just to top it all off, when we got to the DMV, everyone welcomed my instructor and I with open arms! She knew everyone there! I felt confident and relaxed though all of this, considering the fact that this was my last chance to take this exam before my permit expires. I passed by the way! With 5 mistakes! So overall, the experience was positive and I recommend this driving school to everyone-- definitely worth the money! read more

Couldn't have done it without you read more

I hired a different driving school for my son and his friend. I took my son out a couple days before his test and he was making a lot of driving errors. After taking 8 lessons each, they weren't confident they could pass the test. I called around to lot of schools and Union Driving Schools was the only one that responded on a short notice. I was so happy they did. The driver took the boys out for an hour each the day before their test and corrected the errors they were making. At the end of the lessons both boys were confident that they could pass the test. The next day they took the driving test and Passed!! Thank you Union Driving School! read more

Miss Fibie is a great instructor, I had a 10 hours class with her. She prepared me for the DMV driving exam and told me all the points that I needed to consider while driving. We practiced the DMV test routes multiple times that I got pretty familiar to them therefore my exam went more smoothly and I had less stress while taking the exam. I passed the behind wheel exam on my first try. I had a great experience with this school and recommend it. They have great packages with affordable prices. read more

Her rates are different from website and upon booking the appointment. She will not honor rates listed in her website.

I couldn't tell how much grateful I am towards Fibi: The BEST teacher I've ever known. Thank you so much for always helping me and unstoppable correcting my driving skills which I know that it's really badThank you so much Fibi because without you I would probably not be able to pass in one time trying. Thank you and Stay Safe read more

My brother, Max, just got his license and it was such a simple and great process. Fibi gave him multiple lessons that made him a more comfortable and confident driver. She took him to the dmv for his license test and he passed with no problem. In addition, Fibi is just an amazing person overall. Thank you so much union driving school for all your help! read more

Fariba was my instructor and she taught me for 10 hours, best lessons ever. She was kind, punctual, honest and comforting. Before my lessons with Fariba I felt uncomfortable being on the driver's seat but after a couple sessions, I drove cautiously minus the nervousness. Her advices and criticism made a difference in helping me correct my poor driving habits. My sister recommended me to Fariba because she loved her experience and the advices she got from her to become a safer driver. On my sisters first try on the test, she passed with no mistakes! Overall, Fariba was serious, pushed me to be the safest driver in crazy driving conditions, and on my first try of the behind-the-wheel test I also passed!! read more

Amazing driving school!! Fibi is the best. She's always on time, caring, and works very hard to get you ready. She genuinely and truly cares about her job and puts in 110%. She is the best in the business. read more

Fariba is the best driving instructor. From the first day I texted her she responded really quickly, my daughter has a very busy schedule and fariba did everything she could to adjust to her schedule. she is knowledgeable and very kind. She is very calm which makes the driving lessons nice calm and fun. She took my daughter to the driving test as well and prepared her very well, and my daughter passed on the first try. I highly recommend Fariba at Union driving school. read more

Fibi was great! Super sweet and experienced instructor! I recently moved to the valley and was looking for a good driving school. I didn't pass the last time I did the test on the west side. Fibi was great and was very transparent with the charges right at the start and also made some very helpful suggestions on where to take the test. I took a 2hour session with her and on the day of the test, I took another hour with her. At the dmv, she was so familiar with the process, it took the stress off me. She took care of everything despite how hectic that day at the dmv was! She does make some calls during class but that didn't bother me. And I passed, with only 3 points taken off versus way more than that before I drove with her :) I would totally recommend her. She is so experienced that she knows all the tips and tricks for the test. Also, the charge was a tad cheaper than other schools, so why not! read more

Fibi is one of the most capable and intelligent driving instructor I have met ever. She is kind and makes sure you learn how to drive the right way. I got my license with her and it was a great experience. read more

Fibi is the best! I had a serious health scare a while back that prevented me from driving and it's made me into the most anxious driver - but Fibi is so patient, kind, and understanding. No one has been able to help me overcome my anxiety except Fibi! Now, I feel so relaxed when I'm driving and I've come to enjoy it. She's help me come a long way in such a short amount of time. She doesn't yell and she has a good heart. She goes out of her way to help EVERYONE and I've never heard her say a bad thing about anyone. She is soft spoken and protective. Driving with her is like driving with my mom, but in the best way possible. She is very nurturing and helps you correct your mistakes through repetition and by teaching you how to improve, not by telling you that you've done wrong. If want to be a passable driver find someone else, if you want to be a GOOD driver - learn with Fibi. She is also always punctual, helpful, and thorough. She will confirm appointments in advance and try to make accommodations if necessary. If you are a decent human being and are respectful of her time, she is respectful of yours. With Fibi, it's never a no - it's "let me see what I can do," and I appreciate that she actually cares about her students. She teaches you to be good, not just because she cares about your safety but the safety of others. When I first started driving with Fibi, I told her that I don't want to just drive, because I have to, but because I want to go to new places and have fun - and now I can do that. I don't just feel like I'm a better driver, I know I'm a better driver and that confidence is something I didn't have before. I not only see her as my driving instructor, but also as my friend and a mother figure. read more

Passed on my first try! Instructor was really nice and helped me get over my fear of driving. Overall, had so much fun learning with them. Much cheaper than the other driving schools I called up too! read more

This was my first driving school and I opted for 8 hour course. The way it worked: i had a trainer (who's also the owner of this school, I think) she took 4 2-hour lessons over the day on the timeslots decided between us. Pros: - the car toyota prius (which the trainer uses to train) is in good condition, - more hands-on as I was asked to drive the moment I joined. - comparatively cheaper. Cons: - the trainer never seemed to be much interested in training. Half of the time she was in call with her relatives in the middle of the training while I am driving. She was literally rushing with the lessons and pushing me to take drive test after only my second class and I knew I was not ready for the test as I never drove before in my life but the trainer was persistent and no wonder I ended up failing the test twice. - before joining I did my online research and people said that the trainer is strict. I will say more than strict, there is respect problem with her. I knew I was not backing up properly, so one day on not backing up properly once I asked her if we can do it again instead of skipping to thorough driving, she literally said no to my face, she was more interested in completing the trip than me learning through it. While driving on Topanga the first day, she said the speed limit is 45 on this road, I asked where did she see? Her response was a rude "coz I said so". She will shout like crazy in middle of driving and often she won't have definite answers to questions. All in all, i saw n number of glorious reviews here about the trainer (don't know how) and this was one of those experiences where yelp failed me badly. Won't suggest. read more

We got driving lessons for my daughter at Union Driving school. The prices are reasonable. Fibi is a great instructor! She helped my daughter feel comfortable driving. Fibi went with my daughter to take her driving test at the Winnetka DMV and she passed, on her first try. Thank you, Fibi. read more

Fariba is the most caring and detailed instructor ! After six hours of driving with her I passed my test at the first time! I had fun learning, and she was very detailed and specific about every move ! If I could do it again I would do it with her all over again! read more

Fibi is as wonderful as they get. She was super patient and kind to my 16 year old who was terrified to drive. She was always on time and her communication with me was great. read more

Fariba is a such a nice instructor. She is very professional and prepares you exactly the way the examiner is going to ask you to do on your driving test. I took 6 hours class all total. This is my first time I took the driving test and I passed. read more

Both of my daughters had Ms. Fibi as their driving instructor, and I have to say that I am very pleased. It was easy to schedule and she'd pick them up from home and drop them off at the end. She is a kind and encouraging instructor, who knows how to put her students at ease and communicate with them in a way that won't shut them down. She was patient and her criticism was constructive, which is hard with new drivers. Both my daughters passed their first test with under 5 mistakes (you're allowed 15). I'm very pleased and will recommend to friends. read more

I highly recommend Ali! I took a 6-hour course from other school and failed my test for the first time. Then I came to Union driving. Union Driving is definitely better than the other school and cheaper also. I feel so lucky that I have Ali as my instructor who is very experienced. I really like the way he taught me. He took me to several test routes and told me every mistake I made very clearly and explain me very well. He is very patient and very detailed-oriented. With his help, I passed my test! read more

I had fariba as my instructor she was great I PASSED MY TEST!!!!!! My little sister is also using her now so I would definitely recommend fariba thank you for everything -ashley read more

Fariba is the best instructor I have ever had. She is calm, patient and professional. If you are afraid or stressed out, she is the one you should go to for driving lessons. I had 6 hours, 2 of which were exam day practice and Passed on first try. Great experience, great mentor. read more

The instructor was really nice and professional, she genuinely cares about her student drivers. Passed my Behind The Wheel test on the first try with a 2! She makes driving easy! read more

Fibi was great! I booked a couple of hours of refresher driving practice for my son the day before his test. He was a bit rusty so when Fibi recommended that he took another two hours just prior to the test, we jumped at it. It was the best money spent since my son passed (after previously failed twice!). She was caring and calm and really helped my son with the preparation. He said she was the best instructor he had, so that is saying something since he had more than 5 instructors. Thanks again Fibi. I will bring my other children to you in a couple years. read more

Best $100.00 I've spent in a long time. I had to renew drivers license. Haven't had to take test(s), written or driving for over ten years (online renewal). Met the instructor (Fariba) in front of their office. Was planning to do the driving practice in my car. Fariba advise me that I had to do the driving in her car. I parked and got into her Prius. We started going East on Sherman Way. Fariba was like a verbal navigation system, change lanes, turn right at the corner, look over your shoulder, green means go. The more I drove the more I wished I was back in my car. I did not like her car. You couldn't hear the engine. Finally finished the test drive. I asked Fariba "How badly did I do? Fariba reassured me that the driving test go well. She also told me to call after I take the test. Took the test at the Winnetka DMV. Great place everybody there was positive. Passed the test. Every thing went exactly as I was told. Thanks to everyone involved. read more

We were looking for a local, but also affordable, driving school and found Union Driving Schools through a Google and then Yelp search. Their prices were lower than quite a few places and their reviews on Yelp were positive. Fariba (Fibi) was my son's instructor and she was great. He learned a lot from her and appreciated her positive, calm approach. Scheduling was also very easy and flexible. He took the 6 hour behind-the-wheel training and now has his certificate to take to the DMV to get his license in a few months! read more

Fariba is simply the best. Thanks to the unprofessionalism of another driving school in Canoga Park whose business practice is a complete contrast to its name that suggests good reputation, I called Union Driving School a day before my nephew's behind the wheel test at the Winnetka DMV. My nephew was nervous as his exam last Thursday, Aug. 20, was his third try. I cold-called Fariba (Fibi) and inquired if she could take my nephew who was taking his driving lessons from another school. Fariba was very nice and agreed to give my nephew a warm-up lesson before his driving test. Very deftly, she succeeded in calming my nephew and bolstered his self-confidence by delicately mixing instruction with gentle humor. My nephew passed his driving test. I wish I'd come across Union Driving School earlier. read more

They are completely professional & will give you your money's worth. Entirely concerned with your learning outcome & helping you pass the driver's exam. The instructor's are patient, helpful, and kind. I recommend this school for anyone who needs driver's training. So nice and so caring. read more

Got my license with Fariba about 3 years ago in December of 2014 and I promised her a review and here it is! Sorry there was no excuse! But it was quick, smooth and easy and have never had a problem driving since. Taught me the ins and outs of driving but in a motherly and understanding way. Thank you so much! read more

Fariba was such a gift to our family. My husband and I were somewhere between denial and fear when it came time to teach our son how to drive. She was professional, warm and so encouraging to all of us. Our son gained important skills and confidence and passed his test with flying colors. read more

Passed my Behind-the-Wheel test on the first try! Thanks to my patient and understanding instructor, Fariba. I would definitely recommend her! read more
