I highly recommend Instructor Ron. I had a great learning experience with him. He's very patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. He always encourages me to do better, tells me what I did wrong, and patiently answers all of my questions. On the test day, he picked me up an one hour before my appointment so I could practice some more and finally, passed the DMV behind the wheel test on the first try yuhuuu !! Thank you so much Instructor Ron and E & M driving school

Took my driving test today and passed for the first time, instructor Jeff was very patient and even when you make mistake he corrected me politely. Was very nervous but he reassured me, I'm so glad and grateful. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!!

Only missed 5 points on the drive test!

I had my first driving sessions with Instructor Norman in 2018, and he was very patient and kind. He answered every question I had and helped me be at ease, especially since it was my first time operating a vehicle. He is definitely an instructor you would want to have if you're starting out as a new driver. 10/10 recommend!! I recently booked another 2 hour session on Saturday 7/11 to help me prepare for my behind the wheel test, which was today, 7/13. I had the privilege of being with Instructor Ron, and like Instructor Norman, answered all of my questions and he helped me boost my confidence in driving. Everything that he told me to work on, I practiced, and passed the drive test. He also encouraged me to go on the freeway--which I was TERRIFIED to do--but was constantly reassuring me that he has control of the vehicle as well and that he wouldn't ask me to do anything he knew I wasn't capable of doing, so we went and it was so exhilarating LOL loved every minute of it!! Thank you Instructor Norman and Ron!! Definitely recommend booking sessions with them.

I would like to express my biggest gratitude to the best instructor Jeff! I've just passed my driving test yesterday and got my driving license! I've never ever driven before E&M Driving school. Basically I started from scratch and now I have my DL))) Jeff is the best instructor who is always making sure that you are safe and explaining you every little step you have to make. I would say all instructors is this school are professionals, knowledgeable, giving you all information that you need for the test and real life experience! I'm giving E&M school the highest score and I'm telling you this is truly the best driving school in LA. Btw bought my MINI car to use all my experience and knowledge I got in this school)))Thank you!

I just finished my 3 sessions with E&M& one week later I passed my DL on the road test I'm 29 years old & always been a passenger princess & finally decided to make this move for me & my babies& I'm glad I did ! Now I can be 100% independent thanks to my great teacher Andy'! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me succeed & making me feel comfortable on the road ! I would definitely recommend ! Prices are the best around & the instructor was very professional !

I had such an awesome experience with this driving school and would highly recommend it to anyone! They really go out of their way to accommodate to your schedule. My permit was going to expire and Jeff was able to schedule me immediately with instructor Ron and Shannen. Instructor Ron was really patient with me whenever I had questions and made sure that I had the knowledge that I needed for the test. I had my last two sessions with instructor Shannen and she was absolutely amazing. I felt relaxed every time I drove with her because she made me feel like I was driving with a friend. She gave me the confidence that I needed for the exam and I was able to pass with flying colors. This was such a WORTH IT experience because this team would make sure that you would be prepared for your behind the wheel test :)

Our new licensed driver!

Ron and Jeff have been such a joy to work with. Ron was my daughter's instructor and he was very patient with her. He's great at his job. I don't think I would be comfortable with anyone else teaching my kids to drive. He explained what they worked on or would be working on and he let us know what my daughter needed more help with. I appreciated that type of service. My daughter took her test this week and passed! She's now a licensed driver and I know we couldn't have done it without Ron and Jeff! Ron picked her up an hour before the test and let her drive around to get the butterflies out and help her get familiar with the area she'd be tested in. I think it was the best decision for our family. I also had the pleasure of communicating with Jeff about their services and all business matters. I was provided with the best customer service and I know that in a few years, I'll be contacting him for my next child. I highly recommend this team!

Passed with zero errors thanks to Jeremiah's instruction and training!

I am excited to write this review, as my son passed his driver's exam yesterday with ZERO errors and is now a licensed driver thanks to E&M Economy Driving School! I can't thank Pam, Jeff, and my son's driving instructor, Jeremiah Canlas, enough for the time and care they took in preparing my son for his behind-the-wheel drive test. They made the booking and driving process so easy with their EXCEPTIONAL customer service and flexible schedule. They genuinely care about making the student driver feel comfortable and knowledgeable in their newly acquired skill set. I especially want to acknowledge Jeremiah, as he was able to connect with and communicate in a way for my son to understand the rules of the road and helped build his confidence. Jeremiah went above and beyond to make sure my son was ready to pass his test, even scheduling time to review what he learned and prepare him the day before his test. I'd give them a 10 star rating, if I could. Reach out to them to enroll in their courses, you will not be disappointed!

I booked this company for a 2 hour brush up for my behind the wheel test next tuesday…read more I have already have some driving experience on and off but wanted some tips on stuff I may not know or read from the DMV pamphlet. Today we drove around the DMV I will be taking the test on during rush hour. PROS: - Homer was right on time - He gave lots of useful tips/ rules that I overlooked/ did not know - He asked about my goals and we practiced around the DMV. He knew the exact route CONS: - Some parts of the car weren't working. The back camera and the button that adjusted the side view mirrors (not a big deal, I just did it manually) - When I was driving around where the test will be, he got really impatient. He was frustrated and made snappy comments and would say things under his breath when I missed what he said or when I did not get what he said the first time. Apparently I was too cautious. I was overwhelmed during rush hour and all he was telling me while driving that at one point he kind of aggressively said "you should know this- maybe you shouldn't take the test but take another lesson with me". That is why I booked the lesson for stuff I may have missed! He repeated it several times. I did not say anything and then asked if i had someone i can practice with/ car and I said yes. After, he after did say that practicing with anyone will be good. At the end he said that my driving wasn't bad and that I could pass the test. Not sure where the attitude came from then. Good touch up driving school with useful tips, but if you want a more chill and less stressful lesson/s I may consider another option.

So far so good. It was a little confusing at 1st if they services our area. Which they do luckily…read more My son has had nothing but good things to say about his instructors. They were late the 1st time due to traffic but they still completed his full session. I was nervous because it was his 1st lesson and it was in the evening and with this time change it was almost dark but I guess it's a good thing he got some practice in the dark. I will definitely use them for my youngest son who will need training soon. I do wish they offered a sibling discount.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the company's treatment of me and my son…read more My son has autism, and a friend who has a similar case recommended this company to me. First, they have the option to cancel on me anytime, after my son was waiting for them. We began the lessons, and the instructor, Sabino, asked me if I would prefer to sit in the back to feel comfortable. After I agreed, I only went once, I realized that my son was making significant errors. I made the comments after Sabino had given me permission, and he did not appreciate it. He was very confident in his ability to pass the test, but he failed it just two minutes after getting behind the wheel. I felt that my son needed more sessions, so I contacted the company. Letty attempted to convey the impression that I was not welcome because I was a parent who was concerned about my son's well-being. I informed her that she should not engage in such conduct with me. If the company does not value my business, then I do not need to continue working with them. It is important to choose a business that respects and values its customers and their businesses.

I walked back in, and Alex didn't hesitate at all and he quickly switched everything over with no issue. Alex has a great attitude and provides excellent customer service, which is rare these days.

Learning to drive can be nerve-racking, but Angel's calm, supportive style made every session feel productive and positive.

What impressed me most was how consistently Angel celebrated progress--big or small--which gave my teen so much confidence heading into the DMV exam. The encouragement and steady reassurance throughout the process made all the difference. Thanks to Angel's expertise and uplifting attitude, my teen not only became a better, safer driver but acquired tools for success. We are incredibly grateful and absolutely recommend Angel to anyone looking for an instructor who is patient, dedicated, and genuinely invested in their students' success!

*For the VA program*…read more The class size was good. Not too many students, but just enough for group work and exercises. I think a big problem though would be having a small computer lab shared between the multiple programs. It was too small of a room and you could never tell what program was using the room until you actually stepped inside. As for the staff, they were helpful in guiding me through externship. I would've definitely missed a due date or forget to fill out a form without their help.

I'm writing this to make it clear the negative reviews about this program are not lies. I…read moreexperienced the same issues. During COVID-19 I was in the, veterinary assistant program, I was told there would still be hands-on lab training, just modified. That did not happen. Lab exposure was extremely limited, and the instruction was inconsistent. The second instructor was frequently late, absent, and unprepared. I documented in my graduate survey that she was inadequate for lab instruction which is a serious issue for a hands-on program and no one ever followed up. Most of the "teaching" consisted of reading directly from a textbook, with little to no practical application. It felt like self-teaching rather than an actual program. Cost vs. Value Total cost: $17,506 Out-of-pocket: about $6,130 I was charged $515 for e-books that barely worked and had to go back to campus for physical books. The laptop provided also did not function properly during class. For that price, the education should reflect, it did not. Reality Check I'm currently continuing my education toward my RVT license through a program that costs around $8,000 and is far more structured. This program does not even lead to a license, yet costs more than double. Externship By the time I reached externship, I was not prepared at all. My first site wouldn't even let me participate, and I lost a month. I had to transfer. I didn't actually learn basic skills until my second externship which should have been taught in the program. Concerns I raised multiple concerns directly with Lourdes Valencia over the phone and was told, "you signed up for this." During one call, she forgot to hang up, and I overheard her and another staff member speaking negatively about me. This was extremely unprofessional and discouraging, especially after I had just expressed my concerns. I documented this experience in my graduate survey, yet there was no follow-up. It is very concerning that such feedback was submitted and seemingly ignored. Now that I'm continuing my education, it's clear how inadequate the training was, and it raises serious concerns about whether students are being taken advantage of. Pattern Matters Yes, some reviews are positive, but many negative reviews share the same exact issues. Students (including myself) have documentation of what we paid. At some point, when multiple people are saying the same thing including former staff it cannot just be dismissed. Final Thought My 4.0 GPA was from my own effort, not the program. I did not sign up for an inadequate education. I signed up for what was promised during admissions, and that is not what I received. I am currently in communication with the school and hoping for resolution. Until then: Do not spend your money here if you expect real training and support.
