In the classroom,…read moreMrs. Beals is very proficient in teaching and going through the lessons, it's easy to understand and it goes by pretty quick. The behind the wheel, my instructor was very very laidback and easy to work with. He never got mad when mistakes were made and he made sure to correct the little things that would've docked points off of the driving test. I'd definitely reccomend taking both lessons as both teachers are very effective and knowledgeable when learning how to drive.

We chose this driving school for my daughter, and she attended class every Sunday until completion…read more The place is on the second floor. Parking is limited in the front and can feel a bit sketchy, so I definitely recommend picking up your kids on time. The classroom was really cold for my daughter, which was her main complaint. Other than that, she said the class itself was fine and easy to follow. One important thing to know: the behind-the-wheel (BTW) driving slots are very limited, so students need to sign up as early as their 3rd week of class. We didn't realize how backed up it was--my daughter's BTW ended up being scheduled about 3 months after the classroom portion ended. They do provide some snacks in the classroom, which was a nice touch. (I think it's for sale -- need to clarify that). One important thing to know: if your child misses even one class, they can't make it up individually. They have to stop and wait to join the next batch because the classes have to be taken continuously. So make sure your schedule is solid before enrolling. Overall, it gets the job done, but definitely plan ahead for parking and behind-the-wheel scheduling.

My bf walked in front of the car blocking him from leaving because there was a huge scratch on the other car (white 4Runner)! He ended up pulling back in and saying there was nothing and if it was our car, but it was another guys car at Diners in Kalihi. The owner of the car heard/seen it because he came over to look at the side that was scratched and it looked like they were exchanging info. I saw the driving ad on the sides of his vehicle, and when he saw me taking pictures he took them off and put it in his trunk! Would not recommend!!

My daughter came home happy to have learned so much and extremely more confident after her 2-hour lessons with Lenard. She decided to keep practicing with her permit and call for another 2-hour lesson before her driving test. Living in east Oahu costed an extra $20 which was no problem because we're limited on good driving instructors over here! $80/hour with 2-hour min + $20 travel fee. Excellent driving school with prompt replies and reliable instructor. Highly recommend!

I should have look at the reviews In yelp before taking the adult program. This is my first time…read moregoing on yelp to review. Not recommended for beginners. I took the adult driving program with instructor Lenard Wong. While he might be a good driver himself, he is not a good instructor for beginners. I would only recommend him to people who already know how to drive and just need a refresher. For first-time and nervous drivers like me, I highly discourage choosing him. Every time I made a mistake, he would scold, yell, or sigh. This made me incredibly anxious and unable to focus. To make matters worse, he barely explained the rules or how to use the car's mirrors, mechanisms, and other essential functions, nor did he give detailed tips on how to drive well. By the second lesson, he made me drive on the main streets without proper, detailed preparation. Yes I made a lot of mistakes but everyone makes mistake and has different pace. I am trying to learn and that is what I am paying for but with him I am barely learning to drive. If you have zero driving experience, I strongly advise looking for a different driving school or instructor who is patient and thorough.

Brian is Highly recommended!…read more I had my road test today and passed on my first try! A huge thank you to Brian for helping me get there. I'm 33 years old and had never touched a steering wheel before I started lessons with Brian. The fact that I passed on my first attempt speaks volumes--you just need a great instructor, and Brian is the one. No doubt about it. Brian is patient, calm, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I am a very slow learner, but he took the time to teach me the basics first and then gradually built my skills and confidence from there. He never rushed me and always made sure I understood each lesson before moving on. As someone whose first language is not English, it was especially helpful to have an instructor who was patient and able to explain things clearly. Brian made the learning process comfortable and stress-free. He teaches everything you need to know to be fully prepared for your driving test and genuinely wants his students to succeed. If you or a loved one are looking for a driving instructor, I highly recommend Brian at A to Z Driving School. He will work with you until you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to pass your test. Thank you again, Brian!

Brian is an excellent driving instructor. He is patient, communicative, and has all the techniques…read moreand strategies I needed to pass my driving test. He uses very effective teaching tools to clearly demonstrate the rules of the road and proper driving skills. I am a teacher at the University of Hawaii, and from a teaching perspective, I am truly impressed by the quality of his instruction. He genuinely cares about his students and is invested in helping them succeed. I am from Hong Kong and started with absolutely no driving experience. I didn't even know how to ride a bike or operate a vehicle. I was starting completely from zero. Brian taught me step by step with great patience. Even when I made mistakes, he never scolded me. Instead, he was always encouraging and supportive. I only began lessons in late December, and I obtained my license on April 16, taking the test in Kapahulu, which is known to be quite challenging. Although I failed my first attempt, Brian carefully explained what went wrong and worked with me to develop a clear plan to improve my weaknesses. As a non-native English speaker, I also appreciated how clear and easy Brian is to communicate with. Despite living in town, he was willing to travel all the way from Mililani to teach me. Brian is experienced, knowledgeable about the rules and skills required, and always provides clear, structured guidance. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my driving instructor.

I enrolled my teenage daughter with FSN Driving School with master trainer Fernie Nicolas. Fernie…read morewas at one time, a driving examiner for the City & County of Honolulu, so he is adept at prepping the student to pass the driving exam. My daughter is shy and not one to warm up to people right away and she was terrified at the thought of driving a car. However, she felt extremely comfortable with Fernie, as he was patient and calm with her. He was also flexible with his scheduling and will book 2-hour appointments with the student per lesson, allowing you to book appointments weeks ahead of time. Wherever location you take your driving test, Fernie will prep the student at the driving test site to be familiar with it. He will also take your student driver to the driving exam, using Fernie's car they learned to drive with. Thanks to Fernie, my daughter was able to pass her driving exam at Kapolei. It's a huge plus to have a driving instructor who was once an official examiner and is familiar with all the test locations. And as previously indicated, Fernie's calm demeanor will make your student driver very relaxed and comfortable. He's definitely worth 5 stars! His rates are standard and his professional training service was money well spent.

Then you took it out on my daughter during the 2 hours of driving class and when I picked her up she was teary eyed! You were very rude and unprofessional.

I do not recommend this school to anyone. She thinks she can treat people like this cause there's not many schools here!
