After failing my first behind the wheel test back when I was taking my classes at a different school, I had zero confidence in my driving skills, but thanks to transferring to Beverly and my amazing instructor Sophia I was able to pass the test the very next time I took it! She was so helpful, explained everything really well and taught me how to not be afraid of driving. Separate thank you to Juan who took me to the driving test itself! I most definitely recommend Beverly Driving School, even if you had bad experiences with driving before they will help you fix that!

Absolutely the best option to learn how to drive in LA. Its a daunting task to learn how to drive but they are ready to teach you no matter what it takes. What you need to do is trust in the process and do your own homework on youtube as well. Sophia, as many people may have already mentioned, is a gem. She is there for you and wants you to do well. Shes strict when she has to be and will do whatever she can to help you learn what you need to. Harry is an amazing instructor to go to the test with as well. Prices may seem a little steep for some things like the test but it is well worth it. If you needed a review to help you choose a driving school, this is the one. Good luck! Drive Safe!P.S. Id recommend going to Glendale for the test.

I’ve never driven before so I was a tad nervous but the instructors I got , Juan and the other one (I forgot his name) we’re patient and helpful. I also felt safe and they also gave me tips on how to pass my driver license test. I recommend this place 100% if you’re wanting to learn how to drive , you’ll learn a lot in this driving school.

I have my drivers license issued in NY but having just moved to Cali (and not having driven too much prior) I wanted a guide to help me familiarize myself with the roads here and refamiliarize with driving itself.I got the 2 sessions of 3 hours each and two different instructors, Frank and Juan. Both were really kind, gave clear instructions, praise, and gentle correction/suggestion. I am an EXTREMELY anxious person and started off both sessions gripping the wheel for dear life while my heart was racing. By the end of both sessions I was more at ease and even had great conversations with both instructors and felt like a natural. I am actually looking forward to getting a car and driving around.Thank you Frank and Juan!

The reason Im giving this place 4 stars is because I had two LOVELY instructors! and one absolutely awful one. If you get paired with Frank run the other way, he was impatient and anxiety inducing. He had his foot on the gas pedal and would break for me EVERY SINGLE TIME. It was because he had me on edge that I almost crashed. This did not occur with Juan and the other instructor whose name I do not remember unfortunately. Juan and the other man (he only does Saturdays) were so calm and patient. When I was with them I felt confident and at ease. Come to this school, just dont get Frank.

Amazing experience and instructors. Highly recommend Juan as he was very kind and understanding and yet still prepares you to the point that you can be comfortable having a conversation while driving.

Juan was my instructor and I learned a lot about safe driving for my test. I had never driven a car before and on the first day we were on the road. He was patient and made sure I got over my fear little by little. It helps that they have a break and gas pedal on their side so you wont have to worry about putting yourself too much in harms way. That for sure eased my mind and helped me concentrate on what I was doing. We would practice things I needed more work on which helped focus on those things. I was picked up and dropped off from my home which was convenient. I was able to pass my driving test with his help and advice. I definitely recommend Beverly Driving School, especially for those who have never touched a car before. It will help you get over the first initial fear and begin that first step of driving a car and getting that license.

I highly recommend Beverly driving school!! I passed my behind the wheel driving test after taking classes with Sophia. She is an excellent instructor who is patient and highly motivating, making the learning process stress free. She is very knowledgeable about the driving exam and that is very helpful to understand what is expected during the actual test. PS: I also enjoyed and learnt a lot from the general conversations I had with her about various topics

Took 3 lessons 2 hrs each for a good price, my instructor was sophia she was very helpful and a good instructor. You start driving the vehicle (which is sanitized before use) right away into the street on your first day learning to accelerate, brake, obey traffic signals, maneuver the wheel. Second and third days are mostly the same with turning left/right, reversing, parking added along with going into residential areas for speed and stop sign purposes. The instructor helps you schedule your driving test at the DMV website, once i was done with my courses with Sophia i took my driving test two weeks later and passed it. Definitely do recommend this driving school for anyone looking to learn to drive and get their drivers license during this pandemic.

Just passed my driving test today at Glendale DMV! I had 3 lessons with Sophia, who did an amazing job preparing me for my drive test. Sophia gets straight to business and quickly identifies what you need to work on to pass your test. Im very happy with my lessons from Beverly Driving School, and would recommend them to anyone.

If you need help learning how to drive, getting over driving anxiety or want to pass your test, then book your driving lessons at Beverly Driving School and ask for SOFIA! I went in my first session and never got behind the wheel before then and with the help of Sofia and 6 hours of driving instruction, I not only learned how to drive but I had a great time doing it... and PASSED my test! She made it very easy and STRESS FREE! Not only do they help you learn how to drive but they give you such great tips on what to do and how to get ready for your dmv behind the wheel test. Get your driving lessons at Beverly, you wont regret it!

I took classes from multiple instructors but found Sophia to be the best one. She is detail oriented and definitely much experienced and mature instructor. I passed my test on first attempt with her help. She also took proper cleaning and sanitizing measures before my driving lesson. Thanks for your help Sophia!!

Brandon Is the absolute best driving instructor that money can buy. I have struggled with learning to drive for 22 years, and finally, with his patient, yet thorough teaching method, I was able to conquer my fear and pass the test earlier today. The lessons are very affordable, and a great deal less than what I have paid in the past for less qualified teachers. Karen in the office is fantastic as well. Do not waste your time with other Companies, Once you have your permit, Contact Beverly Driving and Traffic School Immediately.

I wouldn’t recommended this driving school, I wish I had known better. My driver’s English was not the best which made me not to understand so many things he said, also I didn’t get proper training.Now I’m in a better driving school I love it. Save your money, not worth the try. Good luck

Had a great experience with this driving school. I had Brandon as an instructor and he was really helpful explaining the ways of the road and he made me feel comfortable. I was able to have regular conversation with him while he helped me at the same time. If you talk to him he’s a pretty funny dude and you will learn a lot of things from him to be able to pass the driving test.

A-massing! This traffic school was completely painless. The course was short and to the point. I actually learned information from the course that I can use while driving avoid another ticket or an accident! I would definitely recommend this class!! Used a Group on and a got a great price as well.

I just passed my road test on the first try thanks to Beverly Driving & Traffic School inc. instructor are the nicest and most caring driving instructors you will ever have. They definitely have the right techniques to help you learn and understand. Their methods are soo simple. They really want you to succeed and they were there cheering me on every step of the way. Simon always worked with my schedule and my schedule was pretty hectic this summer. Very professional and organized school.

This driving school is quite efficient, they have teachers that are really good at explaining things and making sure that the student fees comfortable while driving. The only reason Im giving this place two stars is because their instructor Sophia unfortunately gave me a bad experience. She never showed up on what was supposed to be my first day of class, and unfortunately I was stuck with her on the day of my drivers test. She appeared to be in a rush and unfocused, and gave incorrect and possibly dangerous instructions on the way there. The other instructors are really good at what they do, and I would only recommend other people to come here so long that they get any of the other instructors.

Review №31

WORST DRIVING SCHOOL i could have found for my first time learning how to drive. The person who picks up the phone or give someone you the text appointments is unprofessional and rude. They re all about money. Once you pay, you re screwed. They cancelled my appointments without telling me, while I was waiting for the instructor. The same appointment time with the same instructor is given to different people. I ended up getting the owner as teacher, what a bad experience. Not a good teacher. Asked him via multiple text before our class, to get me to work at a certain time, he managed to get me to work late to work, got me a write up and blamed it on traffic. Dirty cars. I asked for my money back, multiple times, the owner ignored my request, saying that their policy does not offer momey back. I didn’t sign any policy. And they never said such thing before i paid. The instructor randomly showed up at my job, crying and apologizing for the MULTIPLE NO SHOWS, offering me his own money as reumboursement. I refused it. I paid the company. The company should give me my money back, not him. For my very first time learning how to drive, this was a nightmare experience. Beverly driving and traffic school, NOT RECOMMENDED.

PRO:I found them on yelp after seeing their reviews and getting information from a friend. At first i thought the place was too far from me and it wouldnt be worth it. But wow, was it worth it. They were also able to drop me off at work on of the times, and that saved my but. Thanks to Harry and Karen for setting up everything and taking me to my exam. I passed the first time with comfort and ease.CON:Im not the biggest fan of the area they are in traffic + al. the surrounding neighborhood isnt clean. Has bathroom, water, and everything needed and I spent most of my time in the car so I guess its not that bad.Overall: Definitely give them a call, cheap prices and awesome experience with entire team. Everyones incredibly nice

I took a few driving lessons, my 5 hour class and had a Beverly Driving instructor take me to my road test and used their car. I passed on the first try! Id like to thank my instructor, Wendy, for helping me brush up and learn how to drive better! Friendly and professional staff.

This place is HORRIBLE. Dont waste your time or money.They do not care about your safety. They do not care how they talk to you. They dont care how you learn even when you tell them how you learn and the best way to work with you. They do not listen to you. They do not care. The instructor & student picked me up. The student kept driving to her house. I then went to the driver side. NOTE I HAVE TAKEN driver ed/driving lessons before at a different place years ago but I never went for my license until now. I know how to drive. Ive driven. I have a college degree & I have 7yrs of customer service experience. So I know what is needed and expected to make the customer happy and I know to listen most importantly respect the student. The instructor was impatient and very argumentive. He only clams down once we got to the office and I start to record. The boss was also rude and disrespectful both men ganged up on me. I did get a refund at the end. I am gladly taking classes else where.

I live by this place but never went in because it seems kind of small. I regret that. I came here for traffic school, and It was way better than the places I took permit classes/behind the wheel training at before. I had barely gotten my license and got a ticket, but Sophia was awesome and got me through my first traffic school. I had to do eight hours of class but it felt like three.Sophia ...... was very endearing... laughed a lot and lightened the mood... provided real life situations... didnt slam us with work, but gave it piece by piece, which made it so much more accessible... she talked to us like friends rather than paychecksIf you have the inconvenience to deal with traffic school, go here because they made it fun and informative rather than a punishment.

It was my first time ever driving. Francisco was my first instructor, and he made me feel at ease. Hes super cool and chill. Gisela was my last instructor and had I taken my driving test one day earlier, I would have failed. On my last driving lesson, she made sure that I learned everything that I needed to know and answered all my questions. Because of her, I learned how to make turns properly and passed my test on my first try.

I got a ticket for making a left turn when I wasnt suppost to. I got stop by this cop who was riding a bike. I came 2 BDTS because I saw it at the court booklet. I called and asked about the schedule and decided to book it for this sat. I had Ms. Sophia and it was really good because honestly she wasnt boring and I got free water. Pay attention when you drive because those signs are easy to miss.

Hi, I came to school by the court. I liked the class with Sophia. Pass the exam the 1st time. I recommend this place because they send the certificate by email. The school is near Tommys. Beverly and Rampart. The 8h have a good time. If you have to come to the school for 1 ticket I recommend this Beverly school! Do not let 2012 pass and do not comply with the law: (
