After warming up on city streets, we entered and exited freeways many times (during rush hour!) to practice merging, lane changes, and adjusting from highway driving back to city streets. I felt completely safe at all times. Michael gave me very practical instruction on checking the blind spot, watching for pedestrians, defensive driving, etc. The lesson cost $220. For my situation (licensed but inexperienced driver), one lesson was all I needed.

He was a huge help with my hip issues by providing a cushion to help ease my back pain and thereby helping me focus on defensive driving! His supportive but tough approach to defensive driving help me get over my behind the wheel anxiety. It was a great learning experience in addition to a thorough instruction in defensive driving fundamentals! Michael wong is worth the investment !

He's got that middle aged Bay Area Filipino humor and he's very thorough and clear on what to do and how to drive. The lessons were comprehensive but not overwhelming. I think the best highlight of his lessons were the places we went. He and I drove from SF to San Mateo and back, and there was always a way to cram in practice on subjects like knowing what to do at an area with few stop signs or driving on the freeway. A very honest recommendation for people that want to learn driving.

He taught both of our sons, and they both passed their driving tests on the first try. My older son took lessons with two instructors from other driving schools before working with Lawrence, and he said Lawrence was by far the best. He's patient, calm, encouraging, and explains everything clearly. He helped both of my sons build confidence while teaching them to be safe, responsible drivers. We've referred Lawrence to many of our friends, and they've all had great experiences as well. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional driving instructor who prepares students not just to pass the test but to become confident, capable drivers, I highly recommend Lawrence. He's always early for lessons, reliable, and a genuinely nice guy. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Upon calling their office, i was greeted by the company owner who explained the teaching process and logistics clearly to me and in a patient manner. I then scheduled 3 x 2 hour sessions. The instructor, Roberto, texted a reminder the night before each session and promptly arrived on time at the agreed upon location for all 3 sessions. His kind demeanor during the sessions put my child at ease and he was very knowledgeable about all the traffic rules and test routes. My child then went on to pass the behind-the-wheel driving test a few weeks later. I highly recommend this driving school and plan to use them for my second child who will be preparing for their driving test soon.

I rarely leave one-star reviews, but after spending a significant amount of money on driving…read morelessons for my daughter, I feel obligated to share our experience. My daughter took approximately 6-7 lessons with Daniel, paying around $180 per lesson. (Driver test day 250$$$) Throughout the entire process, she repeatedly came home frustrated, saying that much of the lesson time was spent talking rather than providing actual driving instruction and technical guidance. As a parent, I trusted that a professional instructor would be preparing her for success behind the wheel and for her driving test. What concerned me most was the timing and professionalism. After multiple paid lessons, Daniel suddenly suggested that my daughter might be better suited to a female instructor shortly before her driving test. If that was truly his professional assessment, it should have been communicated much earlier--not after weeks of lessons and hundreds of dollars spent. Instead of helping build confidence, my daughter felt increasingly nervous and discouraged. There were several interactions that left her feeling criticized rather than coached. A driving instructor's role is to teach, guide, and prepare students for success, especially when they are already anxious about an upcoming test. I cannot recommend Daniel based on our experience. We invested substantial time and money, yet received very little meaningful instruction compared to what we expected. Parents looking for a driving instructor should carefully consider whether they are receiving actual training, constructive feedback, and professional communication throughout the process. I hope this review helps other families make an informed decision before committing their hard-earned money.

I looked up driving schools and gave Daniel a call yesterday. He had availability this morning and he picked me up at 10 this morning for a 2-hour course. He texted me when he was at my address, I came down, climbed into the drivers seat, and we were off! Daniel is calm. I give that statement it's own sentence because Daniel's calm instruction and gentle voice go a long way for anyone learning to drive, and for me just needing a refresher course. We drove through busy San Francisco, narrow China Town, turned left and right, parallel parked and practiced baking up. I nailed it, thanks to Daniel's excellent, calm instruction! I highly recommend his Excel Driving School!

Within a very short time during their first lesson they built confidence and had the skills to drive safely--locally, then on the highway and through rush hour in San Rafael.

I felt comfortable riding with them following their first lesson, and they even reminded me of some minor mistakes I was making when driving. We definitely recommend Bill as a driving instructor.
