I highly recommend Yolanda's for driving instruction. My son had instructor Fred. He was very patient and very accommodating to our schedule. After three lessons with Fred my son passed his DMV driving test the first time. read more

I took a 2 hour driving lesson with Yolanda and had a fantastic experience. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything multiple times till I understood the rules. She even gave me tips on how to practice on my own car. She was firm when needed and encouraging when I was nervous. I changed my driving test location to Glendale (as opposed to Pasadena) and Yolanda was nice enough to take out time on the phone and gave me some instructions of things to keep in mind due to the new location. I passed my driving test and very grateful to Yolanda for all her support! Keep up the great work! read more

My daughter had her first 2 hour instruction. Yolanda was great. Very patient and gave good direction. Kudos to Yolanda.

I wish I knew Yolanda's Driving School sooner. But as they say better late than never! Thank you so much, Fred! You're the best. I finally passed my driving test today, without Fred's outstanding teaching skills I wouldn't make it. Thanks for your patience, effort and the driving techniques that you taught me. Fred will make you feel comfortable and he trusts his students that they can pass it. I like how he helped me bring my confidence back to nail the test today. I am one happy student and I will definitely recommend Fred and Yolanda to anyone! read more

First off: THANK YOU FRED! First Impression: I was, at first, a bit uneasy about choosing this school because it was relatively new, but after looking at all the happy reviews, I chose Yolanda's driving school. I am SO GLAD I made that decision!!!! Pricing: The pricing was better than the other well rated driving schools in the area that I looked at (pricing is listed on their website). My Experience: My instructor was Fred and he's this extremely kind and funny guy who made the experience so much more enjoyable. He was extremely professional, always cautious of what I was doing and what the drivers around me were doing. He never texted or called others while I was driving (unlike Zoan driving school eek) unless it was a work call from Yolanda. He was aware of all my trouble areas and made sure that he fixed them before the test. He was extremely prepared for every scenario that was on the test. I purchased the 4 hour w/ driving test and an 1 hour lesson before the driving test and it was definitely enough for me (but I drove a bit off and on for a year). 8 hours should be enough for a beginning driver! What makes them different from the other driving schools (at least from the one who taught me a long time ago) was that they were honestly super kind and professional people. Fred never made me feel nervous and he never yelled. He always had a smile on his face, making jokes, trying to make me relax when I was nervous as hell. When I made a mistake, he reassured me that everything was okay and that it was his job to help me fix that mistake and he did:). I'm really thankful to have Fred as my instructor. Would I recommend? YES! I'm making sure my little sister goes here too! THANK YOU FRED! read more

Yolanda's Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Arcadia, California

I highly recommend Yolanda to anyone in the area looking for a great behind the wheel teacher! My daughter was soo comfortable with Yolanda's instruction and felt that she had not only gained valuable instruction, but made a friend as well. With so many commercialized drivers training schools out there it was refreshing to find Yolanda - did I mention that her prices are half of her competitors?! My daughter said it was like having an aunt teacher her in my absence...how reassuring is that to hear as a parent? She even offered to take my daughter to her DMV test and helped her practice the actual routine that she will be tested on at the DMV this coming Wednesday! read more

I had an amazing experience with Yolanda's Driving School. Yolanda is incredibly knowledgable when it comes to what the test administrators look for. She quickly identified my mistakes and helped me correct them through repetition. What makes her such a great teacher is that her main goal isn't for you to just pass the test, but to actually make you a better driver and pass with as few marks as possible. When it was time for me to take the test, I felt extremely comfortable and passed with only one mark against me! Yolanda's also a super nice person and makes you feel at home during the lessons. Highly recommend! Thank you Yolanda! :) read more

I took a two hour driving course with them and let's just say I got my license in the mail today!!! Fred really helped prep me. I was sooo nervous and he kept me calm and gave me tons of tips. Honestly without some of his fun sayings I think I would have forgetten some things. I see why they have 5 stars. I recommend them :) read more

Got my drivers license the other day! Big and many thanks to Yolanda especially Fred for teaching me how to be aggressive driver in California. They're very patience and nice people.

Thank you so much Yolanda! read more

See below for more information. Genuinely good people and got me to pass the exam on the first try.

Created an account specifically to rate Yolanda's driving school. Quick recap is that I contacted Yolanda after my first driving school's lessons werent satisfactory. Yolanda makes it so comfortable in easing out the inherent tension in you, while on the road and quickly notices the tiny changes one need to make, to become a good driver and pass the test. Reach out to Yolanda if you want to become a GOOD driver! Passing the test will be automatic. Yolanda- You are such a wonderful person and thank you for all your time and advice. I know the game begins now and would make you proud:) :P read more

Fred was the best! Really helped me understand what I needed to do to pass my test! Super nice too! 10/10 would recommend!

I took her class a while ago but never gave her a yelp review! She is so caring, so sweet, and overall my favorite driving teacher! I made many mistakes but she took time to patiently correct me and give me pointers. If you're looking for a driving teacher she is definitely the one you should pick! read more

Thought driving instruction would help my sons' pass their driving test the first time they took it. Yolanda's Driving School was friendly, accommodating and local. Yolanda is one of the instructors and the other is Fred. Both instructors are very competent but my sons seemed to enjoy Fred's succinct teaching style. I would definitely recommend this driving school. read more

I got my permit about a month and a half ago and just took the test yesterday. I knew driving wasn't easy and wasn't sure if I could even get good enough to take my test so soon. I passed yesterday thanks to all of Fred's help from Yolanda's driving school! He's very well versed in all the rules and regulations and will make sure to emphasize what you need to watch out for, not just for the DMV test but also how to be a safe and good driver in general. Fred, and the other staff I encountered at Yolanda's Driving School are all very kind and caring towards their students. They don't waste your time or money and get to teaching you right away, making sure you learn well. If you want great driving instructors and if you want to pass the test on your first try (with the instructors' help and a lot of practice on your own of course) be sure to come here!! You won't regret it! read more

Martha really helped me a lot as I prepared. She made sure that I understood what I needed to do and why as she showed me the sample driving test checklist. She gave me lots of tips on parking, backing up, U-turns - tips you probably wouldn't get from other driving schools. She helped me be more confident for my behind-the-wheel test. Great teacher! read more

I passed the test today, and really thanks to Yolanda's help and also Fred's help. They are both professional and patience to me. I will highly recommend to all of you. :) read more

Never thought I would get my license but because of her help I passed the driving test on my first try! Thanks so much Yolanda! read more

This is hands down the best driving school in Pasadena/Arcadia area, very polite, calm, and friendly instructors. Very clean car. I had forgotten to take my last two hours to get a certificate on the day of my behind the wheel test and they went out of their way on their day off to help me out. Super happy to have had them as my instructors. I recommend this place to all my friends. Passed my behind the wheel test on the first try. Thanks read more

Yolanda is amazing! I sent my nephew here based on all the positive reviews and she didn't disappoint! Very informative, patient and made us all feel very comfortable. Thank you for caring so much! read more

I have 3 children. With my first two kids, I used an individual for driving instruction who was good but had issues. So I searched for another instructor and was given Yolanda's name. We never looked back. She was always on time, professional, friendly and knowledgable. She would respond to texts promptly. My son felt comfortable with her and felt confident in what she had taught him. Yolanda even took him to his driving test as she was able to keep him calm and collected. He passed on his first try. I highly recommend Yolanda for teenagers needing instruction for their license. Indeed, for anyone who needs driving instruction, Yolanda is the right choice. read more

Yolanda's Driving School is truly the best! I started classes with them about a month before my exam date and scheduled a 2-hour lesson every week with them up until then. Yolanda and Piedad were extremely patient, calm, and supportive. Whenever I made a mistake in a particular area, we would practice it until I had it down! Both of them were great at telling me tips and tricks to pass the exam and showed me what to specifically do + look out for during my exam. Yolanda took me to the DMV on the day of the driving test, and she really helped me calm my nerves and give me confidence before my exam. Thanks to her and Piedad, I passed my test on the first try! The fact that they were both able to teach me how to drive properly and prepare me for the exam in a month is absolutely astounding (I honestly can't praise them enough). I am so grateful for both of them, and I'll definitely refer my friends and family to this driving school in the future. read more

I cant even express how thankful i am for Yolanda. I was so terrified of driving and never thought id have my license. And bc if Yolanda im confident and i have my license. Driving with her is like driving with my best friend. Whenever i was frustrated with myself for messing up, she'd always reassure me that i am a good driver. I have so many good things to say about Yolanda and her business. Shes my favorite person. Shes so sweet funny and amazing. If she can teach me to drive, she can teach you too. Trust me. read more

Both the instructors are really good! Yolanda made me feel comfortable with my driving from day one. She is a very encouraging and a positive person. It was fun learning to drive with her. I just took one lesson with Fred. He's very meticulous in his teaching. Yolanda took me to the BTW test. She made the entire experience a very pleasant one! Thanks to both of you. Thanks Fred for your blessings I did pass the test!! read more

Yolanda is simply the BEST and you would be lucky to hire her. She's friendly and patient while being very effective. Our daughter passed her license test on her first try, and we give Yolanda all the credit. We will definitely hire her again when it's time for our younger children to learn how to drive! read more

Yolanda is such a great instructor! I was very comfortable with her and Fred and I passed my test with only 2 errors!!

When a family friend recommended me to her I knew she was a great instructor! I only had two sessions with her both two hours and she was so patient and understanding with me! I will forever be grateful for Yolanda's help. She is so helpful and cares about each and everyone of her students. I passed in the first try and I never thought it would be so quick but with her help I passed quickly. Thank you so much Yolanda! I have so much to say and rave how wonderful you are! She is an amazing instructor! read more
