I had two of the best driving instructors, Jose and Belica--huge shoutout to both of them! They were incredibly patient, and as someone who was honestly very nervous to drive for the first time, they made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. If you're a first-time driver, I highly recommend taking lessons with Belica. She's amazing and walks you through everything step by step until you feel fully ready to drive on your own. I also passed my driving test thanks to them! And another shoutout to Gabi, the sweetest receptionist, who makes sure every driving lesson and DMV test is scheduled perfectly and stress-free. I truly can't express how appreciative I am of Jose and Belica for their patience, encouragement, and support throughout the entire process. They made such a nerve-wracking experience feel manageable and I'm so grateful for everything they did to help me succeed.

I feel that their instructor Nathaniel harassed me. This man is probably around 50 and I'm 21 and I…read moreshowed up trying to learn how to drive, and he told me twice that my tattoo was "cute" (commented on two different tattoos) and that my voice was "cute." He also wasn't even a good instructor, we would get to a dead end and I'd have to ask him to turn left or right while being fully stopped. He reached over and adjusted my wheel slightly while on a residential street approximately 5 times without saying a word. I got annoyed and I asked him, "am I driving too close to the other cars?" to which he replied "yes." You're supposed to tell me that! I have reason to believe that it was partially to invade my space especially due to the flirty comments. I've never had another instructor behave this way before, tried him out and was disappointed. I asked for a refund for just that lesson after I had switched to another instructor for my remaining 4 hours I had prepaid as part of the package. I did this to not lose any more money to this company, and another instructor was sufficient for the remaining lessons. When I asked for one for ONLY the lesson with Nathaniel (which they should have offered in the first place), they offered me a complimentary lesson with another instructor instead, stating that they "understood my frustration" and would "have a conversation with him." This completely dodges accountability. This service is not what I paid for and I will be having to go out of my way to file a charge dispute with my bank to make things right. I also reported him to the DMV already online. When I posted about the school and reporting the school to the DMV on my Instagram account, one of my old coworkers reached out to me. She's 18. I didn't even mention his name in my post, yet she had asked me "did you get Nathaniel?". I was like "how the heck did you know?" And apparently he had harassed her too. He thought she was underage and still proceeded to make inappropriate comments about her height. Take this review as a warning. This man shouldn't be teaching driving to anybody ESPECIALLY high schoolers because he is abusing his position of power to harass young girls and women. They responded to this review alerting me that they were advised to sue. As a response, I have attached the email, which includes no personal information about anyone whatsoever, in which they acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, not "small talk." They also included in their public response to my review that "lessons are 2 hours long and can be stopped at any time if students feel uncomfortable." This sentence honestly really frustrated me because I feel that it inappropriately shifts the responsibility onto me, a new driver who did not know where we even were on the road or how to get back to the school, to tell a man 3 times my size and double my age while alone in the car with him and reliant on his guidance, that I feel uncomfortable and wish to stop the lesson and head back. I consider this victim blaming. The fact that I reached out the day after and did everything I could to inform them of his behavior and state that I was no longer comfortable working with him after the lesson should have been enough for them to absolve me of blame from this situation. Their response speaks for itself. I stand by my review and encourage fellow Yelpers to always share their experiences, good or bad.

I'm a Belgian national who was looking to get his California DL. A friend of mine (also foreign…read morenational) went through the same process 2 years ago and had recommended me to pass the exam at the Culver City DMV and book a 1 hour driving lesson with A1 Driving school right before the exam. The goal was to pass the exam with the driving school car. As a foreign national this is an interesting option as you do need to be accompanied by a CA Driver license holder and have a car with valid insurance/registration. She also told me to ask for Frank :-) On May 12, 2022 I did exactly that. I arrived at the school and was quickly introduced to Frank, my brand new instructor. He immediately let me sit in the car and made sure everything was set correctly - mirrors, seat, etc. for a comfy experience. He then started with the basics for the non-driving part of the exam (i.e. (hand-)signals, lights, defrosters, etc.) and we quickly made our way to the streets. I had prepared a whole list of questions regarding situations I expected to encounter during the exam. Frank was very patient and took the time to answer all of them while practicing. He also gave me excellent tips on safe behavior that examiners would be looking for (e.g. signaling on time, when and how often to look over your shoulder, tips for the backing-up maneuver, etc.) and some pointers on the tricky parts of the Culver City roads. All of which I applied during my exam, which I passed with flying colors! Before getting in line at the DMV, Frank took a quick glance at my "driver permit", which I got after passing my written exam 2.5 months ago. He noticed it had a vision restriction (as I was wearing contacts at the time) and asked about it. I had completely missed that restriction (100% my bad, I know), so I told him I had recently gone through LASIK and no longer wore contacts. Frank told me to have that restriction removed when talking to the DMV, which they did after a quick 10-sec vision test. If Frank hadn't noticed it, I would now be driving with a restricted license and get a fine each time I get pulled over. Great catch Frank :-) So overall amazing experience with A1 Driving and Traffic School in Culver City. I absolutely recommend them. Even if you're super confident (I've had a Belgian DL for over 15 years), the extra tips and tricks you get here are absolutely worth it!

He kept saying little gas, more gas, no gas within the same 5 seconds, giving confusing signals, and blaming me adding gas while my foot was not even on the padel... He never actually looked at what ur doing but just arrogantly thinking he knows you the best. When you asked him what mistake you made and how to fix the problem, he never able to teach u the right way. Instead he'll just say, ' just take more lessons and you'll be better.' YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN NOTHING AFTER CLASS... and I really hated him kept saying he will bring me to good places around here, I was like 'I don't even care about the tourist spots I just want to learn how to drive. Who cares if the place is rich or no?' Appreciate him took me around but he's gone too over for real. One more thing is when we were on the street, the speed limit was like 35mph but he kept asking me to drive at 20 something... when I speed to around 30+ he'll start judging. But I knew the DMV is gonna fail you if you drive too slow... the fact that when I was having lessons with another driving school, the instructor told me I was driving too slow on a 35 street with just 27-29 speed but this Zoren always say I can't drive fast... I really got pissed by him because he said like he's the only one who knows how to drive in the entire world, really arrogant. The last lesson I told him I am not taking class with him anymore cause I'll change to another teaching school and he just told me I AM NOT GONNA PASS MY TEST CAUSE I DONT DRIVE WELL the fact turned out I passed my test with only three mistakes proves I drive okay even I start from zero. But the credit doesn't go to this driving school at all

I failed 3 times So my ex bf who is now my hubby enrolled me to a different traffic school nearby his apartment. He said he's one of the best.. Sooooo I met Zoren who was my driving instructor and only taught me for 2 hours before my actual driving test, he's so nice and funny because he's Armenian and knows how to speak a little bit of Tagalog. Anyway, after my session with him, he went with me and drove to Glendale DMV for my actual test, he's a bit popular there because driving examiners knows him. Lol! And I remember the examiner told me i was lucky that Zoren was my instructor. After my test, finally, i passed Thanks to Chase Driving School
