I had Jyoti Sondhi and she was so patient, encouraging, and sweet!! She gave me great tips for the driving test and helped me practice the skills I need to pass the test! I would highly recommend her and the local driving school to all new drivers. :-)

Jyoti Sondhi is a very good instructor. I was very nervous going into the lesson but she made me feel at ease. I recommend going here and get her as an instructor.

Great experience learning how to drive with Kirt Ewing. His in-depth knowledge of driving and friendly style of teaching make him a great instructor. I would highly recommend him for all his future endeavors.

Just had my first lesson with Iris. Shes wonderful! Great teacher, friendly, and made me feel way less nervous. They took me on a route that got increasingly difficult but by the end i felt confident enough to handle it. I hope my next lessons are just as great!

Thank you to Kirt for teaching me to drive for the first time ever. He taught me general steering, how to back up, and park. He also gave me the California Parent-Teen Training Guide which I am sure will help me when I am driving with my parents. He was very patient and helpful.

The experience has been very pleasant so far. My instructor goes beyond the basics to make sure we cover all the rules and regulations and I have gained a good sense of confidence - they are also very flexible and open to what you would like to get out of the lesson and have been very accommodating to make sure everything is covered.

Kirt was a wonderful teacher but once I was reeled in to buy a “package” for our babysitter, I found this company terribly unresponsive and lacking in customer service. I left two voicemails and three emails with questions and no one followed up. Not okay.

I finished my first lesson with Kirt, I learned a lot about parking, backing up, making sure to check my mirrors every 3-5 seconds, & making sharper / better turns. He’s very patient and makes you feel more comfortable!

I highly recommend Local Driving School, especially DAN and IRIS!!!I had a package course which including 3 lessons and accompanying for behind wheel test. I have driving experience in my country. Although I passed writing test, I technically didnt have information much about difference in the US. I had four different instructors and in my opinion, Iris and Dan were great teachers and they helped me a lot.Both IRIS and DAN are very professional and have high teaching skil and great personality. They gave me a lot of effective, efficient advice and tried not to be nervous during my lesson. On the day of behind wheel test, Dan gave me a message he could pick me up 15 mins earlier if Id like to practice for a while before going to DMV. He was great and his advice worked very much on the test!! I passed at the first time with only 1 error!!! He encouraged me a lot during practicing.Thank you very much for everything!If you are going to take a test with their car, you can tell preference of the car. They have 2 kind of that, which are Toyotas Prious and Honds one.

I would recommend Local Driving School to friends who have teenage kids in need of driving lessons, reasonable cost and dependable instructors. Special thanks to Matthew the training instructor for my kid.

Today I am officially a lisenced driver! My instructor for the day was Manny. He was very patient and a joy to work with. In the order from first to third, I had Amar, Don, and Kamar. Amar made my driving experience less stressful and for my first driving instructor, I was in need of that. Don was my second instructor. He was patient and taught me well woth the advanced forms of driving while also being informative and a joy to work with. Kamar was absolutely phenomenal. A joy to talk to and very stress relieving for me. I would recommend this school to anyone.
