I’ve had the privilege of learning from Yancarlos, one of the best instructors I’ve ever encountered. He is calm, patient, and highly knowledgeable, an absolute pleasure to drive with. Even when I made mistakes, he remained composed and took the time to explain not just what went wrong, but how to approach it correctly next time. He genuinely cares about his students’ success and is consistently encouraging. 🥹
One of his recurring reminders is: “see the bigger picture while driving, scan your surroundings periodically, and approach the road with a fresh mind—like a lettuce” 🥬🚗. It’s a quirky, endearing piece of advice that somehow sticks...read full review

I had an amazing experience with Yancarlos and passed my first behind the wheel test with him!
I'm new to the US and have a license from another country, but wanted to have a couple of classes before attending a test since some rules are different here and I needed to get used to it. Yancarlos explained all the rules thoroughly, took me to the test area to drive around to make sure I understand the possible errors and prepared me in every possible way. He's also great to talk to, and it was great to spend the test day with him while waiting in the Daly City DMV line. Highly recommend to all drivers, novice and experienced alike.
