Mani is our son’s instructor. He has been amazing - very patient, informative, and focused on teaching great, safe driving skills. He has helped our son become a confident and capable driver. Now I can even take a nap when our son drives! Mani is punctual and responsive to our questions about the lessons - always letting us know what was reviewed during the driving and any comments/pointers for us to help with between lessons. Cantor’s has been great to work with - terrific value.

My daughter just completed her third lesson with Mani and took her behind the wheel test last Friday and passed. From the first time we met Mani, I was very impressed and at ease. He has such an easy going demeanor and my daughter felt very comfortable with him. His instruction was great and my daughter understood everything he explained to her. Thank you Mani!

Mani was my driver for both lessons! He was very nice and knowledgeable. I have a Florida license but wanted to learn how to drive in Los Angeles. Mani was the perfect instructor to ease my nerves. He told me respectfully when I violated a driving law and explained why it was a violation. The car I drove in was brand new and easy to drive. I learned so much from Mani and highly recommend him and Cantor’s Driving School for their professionalism. I’m a more informed driver and ready for the LA roads.

My instructor Mani was amazing, very specific and helped me on what I needed to improve. He is very patient and kind. He also is very motivating and encouraged me. Very professional and focused on what needs to be improved. Sets a plan and helps with visuals and good at explaining what I had to do. Very helpful and always on time.

This driving school is a great option for any learning how to drive. My instructor, Mani, was encouraging and super helpful while I was learning. He guided me through the process of driving step by step and I feel he made me a much better driver. I highly recommend this school, it was an awesome experience for me and itll probably be the same for anyone else choosing to learn here.

My experiences with my instructor, Mani, were so fun and awesome, I don’t think I can imagine picking anyone else. He was funny, informative, helpful, and just made driving such a fun activity. There was never a dull moment with his lessons. In the span of just 2-3 lessons, I was able to become a much better and more defensive driver, learning skills that I can use for the future.

My son took driving lessons with Mani. He has always been very anxious about driving. Mani has been very patient with him and has kept him calm behind the wheel. Mani’s pleasant disposition and his sense of humor has made my son looking forward to his driving lessons. Mani gave us his direct phone number in case we need any help with diagrams in the future. I would definitely recommend Cantor’s Driving School!

Ive never driven a vehicle before and currently Im two classes in with Mani Namazi. Hes helped me learn so much in two classes that Im really looking forward to driving now. The only time Ive ever driven in my life was during these classes and Ive already learnt so much. He gives you tips to use while driving that actually make sense and once you start using them, things just click. Manis definitely a great instructor and a fun guy. Im looking forward to my last two classes with him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mani N. a really smart, professional, clear and patient instructor. During his lessons he was able to explain to me in a clear and detailed way everything there is to know about the highway code, obviously I recommend it to young people and adults.

I had Mani as my instructor. I had never driven before I had my first lesson but by the end I was already on the road. He was very kind and a great teacher. I feel very safe on the road with him and he answers all my questions.

It is an excellent affordable driving school. It gives a friendly environment. I only went with one instructor “Mani” and he is a excellent instructor, he gives you all the help you need. And he goes a farther step when it comes to teaching. He reminds you of stuffs and has a great attitude when it comes to answering questions and mistakes are made.

Having only ever driven in my home county of Ireland before (on the other side of the road!) I booked Mani to help me learn the American road rules and to prepare for the California drivers test.He was always calm and encouraging, teaching me all the skills I needed to stay safe here. And I passed my test first try! Thank you Mani and Cantor’s Driving School for helping me to get my license in such a swift timeframe. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I can’t say enough how happy we are to have found Cantor. My sons instructor, Mani, was professional, personable and just a great communicator which gave my son the confidence to not only pass his test but to also be a very good safe driver. Mani was also very accessible and just a real pleasure to work with. Next up...my daughter when she turns 16! I highly recommend Cantor and Mani. I thank them both very much.

My instructor is Mani and let me tell you, best experience ever. He really helps calm my nerves and flows with the way that helps you learn the best. Mine happens to be positive reinforcement. Super friendly and patient! I was even to drive freeways today thanks tk help, I never thought I would ever do that. I really recommend Cantors Driving School and more specifically Mani! 10/10

I took 3 lessons. Mani is an amazing instructor. Very calm, motivating, and full of positivity. Whatever I learnt from him, was not only useful for the test, but also very helpful in everyday driving. I passed my test in 1 shot! All thanks to Mani!

As an adult whos had a UK license for several years but recently moved to California I was looking for someone who could guide me through driving on the other side of the road and to help me pass asap and Mani was a breathe of fresh air. A very positive individual, always calm and collected and prepares you well for your DMV experience (hopefully one for you too!)I am so grateful to Mani for helping me prepare with full patience and understanding. Thanks again Mani! 😊.

This is recommendation review for Mani at Cantors driving school. Mani is caring, friendly, professional, skillful, and just amazing and wonderful instructor. 😀 He makes my daughter feels very comfortable while she is learning how to drive for the very first time. And my daughter of all people hates driving. Now she cannot get enough of it. She told me that she enjoys driving now because Mani trained her well. She even drives on the freeway with only after 10 hours with Mani. I totally recommend Mani for driving training. He is simply the Best of the Best. Thank you so much Mani for all you do for Lydia. Lydia and I are very grateful for you. 🙏😁

For context, I got my drivers license back in high school through a separate drivers education program. I stopped driving over five years ago and I got very rusty on my driving skills. I got into an accident within my first year of driving. I was 17 at that time. Because of that experience, I became too anxious to step into my car and become too reliant on Uber/Lyft and public transportation services. I’m 25 now and I decided to invest in 6 hours in refresher lessons with Mani. Getting back on the road was part of my 2021 new years resolution. I wanted to lose my fear of driving. If you have your license, and you stopped driving because you had a traumatic experience or got into an accident, please consider getting driving lessons again. There is no shame in refresher courses. I got back behind the wheel recently and my parents applauded on how much I’ve have improved. My anxiety with driving is gone. I highly recommend Mani. He was extremely patient and calming. Very thorough in answering all of my questions and excellent in offering tips and correcting you when you do something wrong. It was a great investment! I highly recommend and Thank you Mani!

I took few lessons with Mani in Westwood and I can’t describe how confident I felt with him since the first class. He is very polite and easy going that makes the communication easy. At the same time he knows what he is doing , he is patient and believes in you even when you don’t believe or trust yourself. Of course such an attitude makes you trust in yourself as well and removes a fear of driving on the roads. I would definitely recommend Mani as your driving instructor

Great experience!! Instructor Mani Namazi is an awesome teacher, very easy going and kind. He was open to any questions and always gave a clear answer. He created a very trusting environment that in turn let me gain confidence in my own driving. From driving in residentials to driving on the freeway it was all a great learning experience. Definitely recommend Cantors Driving School and more specifically Mani Namazi as an instructor.

Review №34

Ive heard horror stories about how bad driving instructors can be , so at first I was scared to a class. But because of my instructor Mani , I can not recommend it more! Mani instructs in a way that creates a nonstressful environment. On top of that instead of simply telling you what you are doing wrong, he teaches you how to do them correctly! If youre thinking of getting some driving classes that WILL actually work, choose Mani!

Great program! My instructor Mani Namazi made sure to keep safety as a number one priority the entire time while teaching me proper safety habits.

I had a great experience with these driving lessons, I took the three 2 hour lessons. Brian was my instructor and I highly recommend him to anyone in the Anaheim and OC area. He is very calm and patient and when he is explaining instructions he explains them very clearly for anyone to understand easily. I enjoyed doing my lessons.

Mani got me ready for a crucial road test peofessionally, kindly and with humor. I had a terrible experience at the DMV - had failed 2 tests for really stupid picky reasons. I needed to nail the test or my license was at risk. Mani got me focused on the tiny details that he knew the examiner would be watching for and I passed with only 5 errors- 15 to spare. He was calm and encouraging, and an enjoyable person to spend 2 hours in the car with! Thanks Mani, I really appreciate your help.

I found this driving school really easy to access. My instructor, Mani Namazi, was super nice, took the time to explain everything and go over things that I didn’t get. If you don’t feel confortable doing things he won’t force you to do it. Perfect company
