“Alex was a great instructor. I passed the behind the wheel test on my first attempt after just a few classes.“

“Joseph is hands down the best driving instructor I've ever encountered. If you are taking lessons from him, you can assure yourself that you are gonna pass the road test!

He goes above and beyond to teach the small but crucial details that many people overlook during their road test. What sets Joseph apart is his dedication to ensuring you're fully prepared—he takes you through the area around the DMV so you’re familiar with the test route, which significantly boosts your confidence.

Joseph offers his lessons at rates far more affordable than typical driving schools, without compromising on quality. If you choose to use his car for the road test, he even lets you practice in the DMV area right before your test, ensuring you're comfortable with both the car and the environment. And yes, this too is offered at a much lower cost compared to other schools.

Beyond his exceptional teaching skills, Joseph is incredibly kind, considerate, and a pleasure to talk to. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!“

“As a parent who used Berkeley Driving School over 20 years ago, I knew to contact them when my daughter got her permit. They're easy to schedule with and the lessons are affordable. Lule was her driving instructor every time and she helped my daughter improve her skills. My daughter passed her license test on the first try. Very well worth it and thank you!“

“My instructor was Stacey. I had a great experience with her! She helped me overcome my fear of driving as well as provided me with some helpful tips when I am feeling anxious. I felt very comfortable with her as an instructor. I definitely learned a lot about navigating the road and taking control of the wheel. Thanks to her I was able to pass my test on the first try!“

“As a 33 year old who had never driven before, I was very very anxious, but learning how to drive from Miss Mona and Christian eased a lot of my apprehensions away. They are very hands-on in their approach; each lesson they take lasts for 2 hours and I was behind the wheel from the very first one!

Both instructors know what they’re doing, and they’re really good at their jobs. Since you’re spending 2 long hours in the car with someone, I found it immensely helpful that both Miss Mona and Christian are also interesting people who I had good fun talking to!

I was so grateful to them for training me well enough to pass my behind the wheel drivers test on the very first try - to prepare for it I also got to practice with the instructors around the DMV which helped me gain confidence for the real test.

I cannot recommend this driving school enough - they were nothing short of sterling in the services delivered and they made learning a new skill fun and memorable for me! Thank you SO much Miss Mona and Christian, you all are the best!“

“Went here to get my B class License for work. It was a great experience and learn a lot from Paul the Instructor. He was chill and help me learn all the right components for my in cabin inspections. The only thing I have against was I got lost the first time getting to school. The GPS sent me to some neighborhood. It's not the school fault and that why I still gave it 5 star review.“
