Driving Schools in San Jose

“Overall, I think my experience with A-Z was pretty decent. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. My first lesson with Katie was pretty good. She was very helpful, and she me feel comfortable driving for the first time. She also left some insightful comments on my score sheet so that I could improve my driving skills. My second instructor was Wassim(who I think was the owner). I must say he is very knowledgeable and he wanted to teach me the best driving practices. During my lesson, he was training a new driving coach. But I must say, he was often condescending and passive aggressive . He would often cask me "how do you think you could have done better?" or something like that. I was new to driving, so it made me rather nervous having someone speak to me like that. Also during the lesson, Wassim just randomly asked me to parallel park in a residential area, told me to "think about how to improve" and then just left the vehicle for several minutes. I thought that was rather odd. But I must say, despite all that I've mentioned about him, Wassim did point out various bad driving habits I had and tried to help me improve. As an example I had a hard time handling the steering wheel, my hands didn't cross correctly and sometimes I just kept them fixed when turning. This caused my turns to be too wide. Wassim would spend a lot of time trying to help me improve this, as it was one of the basic skills of driving. He also gave me reminders such as what to check when changing lanes and the most effective way to slow down at a traffic light. So overall, I think Wassim was pretty good, he just made me a little nervous when he was talking at times. My third instructor was OK(I don't remember her name unfortunately). She told me I was doing pretty well, so besides giving me the occasional reminder, she spent much of the lesson on her phone. It was slightly nerve wracking, as I was still pretty new to driving. But she did give some feedback. Overall, I would recommend A-Z driving school. They have pretty good instructors so if you're learning how to drive, you know you're in good hands“

“Huge shoutout to Instructor Moon. He is patient, friendly, and super professional from day one. He knows the test routes like the back of his hand and made sure I practiced them ahead of time, which honestly made all the difference.

I came in with zero driving experience and passed my test after just 10h of lessons with him. If you are nervous about learning to drive, this is the place.“

“I had a great experience with Advantage Driving School for my daughter’s behind-the-wheel sessions. She passed her driving test on the first attempt! Pankaj was excellent—he provided helpful tips, focused practice, and made sure she was well-prepared. Practicing around the DMV area with him really boosted her confidence, and she wasn’t nervous at all on test day. Highly recommend!“

“Thomas is an incredibly experienced and extremely excellent at instructing. I went from being nervous to drive to being confident and excited in just 3 sessions! He’s the sweetest instructor and his skillful training will stick with me forever! I am taking my drivers test in 3 weeks and I am sure with more training I will pass! Thanks Thomas!“

“Definitely recommend Daniel and Mario are great teachers. Everything is at your own pace. They teach from whatever knowledge you have from complete beginners and up. There are some students that start with other schools and come here because coast to coast is the best.“

“Thank you to San Jose Truck Driving School for the great experience. Special thanks to Heidi for helping me with the questions, and to Alex, Dave, John, and Ali for teaching me everything about driving. I really appreciate all the support and patience. Highly recommended.“

“I am very happy with the instruction that my three kids were given by Rick at Blue Ribbon. They successfully passed their DMV road tests and have learned important driving skills. I highly recommend Blue Ribbon to all my friends with teens.“

“Very good driving school, enthusiastic instructor, very satisfied with the course! With the instructor's careful guidance and my own efforts, I passed the test! Thanks to the instructor!“

“Beverly Driving School is the absolute best. Mr. Mack helped us when we were in extreme need of a driving session. I was referred to Mack by another driving school. He answered all of my questions and was extremely willing to help. He worked with our schedule and insured that my son was very comfortable. Best of all when my son took his test, he checked in on us to ask if he passed. He was extremely happy to know that my son passed his drivers test and is now a licensed driver. What’s best is you can honestly tell that he is passionate about his work, and really cares about his students, thank you Mac“
