As someone who was nervous about driving, I would highly recommend Pepe’s driving school to anyone looking to learn or improve their driving. I went from being unfamiliar with the basics to passing my test and getting my license. Most importantly beyond just passing, gaining knowledge and important practical skills needed for everyday driving and staying safe on the road. For all of this I can thank the 3 instructors I had the opportunity of taking my lessons with, as they were all incredible and unbelievably supportive and patient the entire process.
I took most of my lessons with Yulma, and she was great from the beginning making sure to teach me all the basics and everything I needed to know as a beginner, always teaching me at the right pace before moving on to the next lesson. She taught me how to park in a simple and efficient way, correcting my mistakes, sharing helpful tips, easing my concerns, while also encouraging and emphasizing my overall progress and improvement. She was very honest about my driving and what to improve which I personally liked and really appreciated, had a great attitude, and was really professional. Yulma will do wonders for your driving if you actually listen and follow her instructions and advice.
I also took lessons with Cruz who was absolutely lovely. He was great at teaching, would explain everything in detail, including what I needed to do at different signs, streets and real driving situations, even without me having to ask. He would even demonstrated himself how to correctly do or fix the things I would struggle with (like turns) which I appreciate. He never made me feel uncomfortable asking questions or sharing my doubts, was always on time, and always seemed calm and in a good mood. Cruz truly made my lessons feel enjoyable and less nerve wrecking as someone that tends to get anxious, I’m still amazed by how patient and supportive he was with me.
Finally, with Mark, who was also a great instructor and overall a wonderful person with me, great to learn from. He was extremely supportive and great at making me feel comfortable and confident in my driving even when I had doubts. Gave me the encouragement I needed to challenge myself when necessary and I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me learn and pass my road test. He was also the instructor that took me on the day of my test and shared my happiness when I finally got my license. I especially appreciated that he has a lot of knowledge about everything you need to know and do for the road test and how great he is at explaining.
They’re all amazing, friendly, and respectful, plus they really know how to make you feel comfortable. You can tell they truly have so much knowledge and experience in what they do that they’re willing to share for your improvement and growth as a driver. They teach you things just how you’ll be tested when taking your road test, emphasizing exactly what techniques you need to use, steps to memorize, and important details to remember. So a special thank you to Yulma, Cruz, and Mark. Mabel in the office was also kind and respectful whenever I had to schedule my lessons or road test, helping me find what worked best for me. Overall, I had a great experience with Pepe’s Driving School. If you’re trying to decide or just needed some reassurance, take this as a sign to trust Pepe’s instructors, believe in yourself and stay confident that you will be getting that license because truly, if I had to do all this again, I wouldn’t doubt choosing Pepe’s again.❤️
