He's one of the most genuine and caring individual I've met. I'm blessed to have found a great teacher. On top of being calm, direct, and attentive, Brian's teachings were easy to understand, extremely clear, and most importantly SAFE. There's no expectation established or result promised: he truly believe in you wholeheartedly that you will succeed with your own ability. Being nervous on the road was one of my biggest weakness. A steady hand but unsteady mind create a great challenge to my livelihood. Richard, the second instructor, offered me great advice and exercises to calm my nerves. Taught me steering techniques that Nascar and F1 professional drivers would use for the cleanest and most consistent control over any vehicles. I never knew I had it in me to be assured that a decision I made, was the right one. The confidence I gained is priceless. Being calm and proactive knowing what to look out for and what to do NEXT is what I crave as a total beginner. Specifics and certainties. Brian is unironically the actual CHEAT CODE to my driving test. He knows exactly how the judges think and which route they'll take. It was almost unfair as I felt in the end, "Wait, it's that easy?" He prepared me for EVERY SINGLE possible obstacles. By practicing directly at the location around the city of where the DMV appointment was made. Ya boy nailed the test first try and passed with only 10 hours lesson driving on the road with him and Rich. I'm now a proactive, safe, and confident driver. I will miss their funny stories and jokes bantering with opposing driving schools or bad drivers passing by. They made it hilarious and fun. read more

I purchased 6 hours of driving lessons alongside freeway practice and practice before the test and I passed with only one error! Both Brian and Richard were very kind and encouraging, and gave me the knowledge and confidence to pass. Before the test Brian took me around the area to practice, and it made the test feel incredibly easy, especially knowing what mistakes I was making before so I could make sure I didn't do them again! Thank you Brian and Richard!! :) read more

Hi Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

My oldest son finally passed his driving exam this morning after holding off for years to take the plunge. We paid for the highest package, then another 6 hour package to refresh before taking the exam. Brian was incredibly patient and took him on the freeway for most of one his recent sessions. He always showed up promptly, was incredibly professional, and accommodating. I highly recommend Brian's services and will most undoubtedly hire him when my younger son's time comes to learn how to drive. Thank you Brian/HI Driving School! read more

Hi Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

My oldest son was a student 3 yrs ago. He easily passed his driving exam. He is also a very good defensive driver now because he was taught the right way. Brian even got him to drive in the freeway on his second day. Now my second son just finished driving school with Brian. I highly recommend this driving school. read more

Very good and patient instructor. Taught both of my sons and they passed their driving tests within a week. Would recommend.

Brian was my daughter's driving instructor. He always showed up promptly and even took her driving in the rain. Bella was very anxious about driving and she said that not only was Brian very nice to her, but was also very calming whenever she would get nervous. She said he would explain to her the reasons why she had to do certain things while driving so she better understood the laws of driving. He picked her up an hour before her scheduled behind-the-wheel test (at 6:00am) and after practicing for an hour he waited patiently for her to complete the test. The coolest part was how excited he was when she passed!! Brian will forever be a part of the magical memory of Bella getting her license. My family and I are truly grateful for his time, his patience and the knowledge he provided to Bella and for being such a huge part of her passing her test. We highly recommend Hi Driving School!! read more

Daughter had her first driving lesson this morning. Brian showed up on time took her out for a two hour lesson, Even in the rain. When she returned She told me that Brian was really nice and taught her a lot. Thanks Brian we will definitely book the final four hours of lessons soon. I will absolutely recommend you to others. read more

Brian is an amazing instructor!! I was a new driver (never driven before), took only 6 hours of driving lessons with him & cleared my behind the wheel test in one go, unbelievable. Thank you Brian for helping me get through this process. Icing on the cake, I was thrown on the freeway in my 2nd lesson, so not only did he train me for dmv standards but also made me comfortable with driving on the freeway. If you're looking for a good place to learn driving, this is it. Brian never disappoints and he's very funny so rest assured you won't be bored during your lessons read more

My daughter has been driving for 2 months to prepare for her test at Fullerton DMV, a notoriously difficult place to test. About a week before I decided I wanted her to spend some time behind the wheel with someone other than myself for fine tuning. I was able to make an appt with this driving school and get a 2 hour session a couple days later. We got Nissanka as an instructor. She communicated with me to confirm day before and day of for address. She was so kind to my daughter and gave her advice I was unable to. And she took her on routes that I didn't, which ended up being the route the DMV tester took her on. My daughter passed today with flying colors and I really believe it was Nissanka's words of wisdom that sealed the deal. Thank you so much to this school and especially Nissanka!! read more

I recently had a lesson with Brian and he helped me hone my driving skills and told me all the tips and tricks I would need to make sure I passed my driving test. I took my test the next day and passed on my first try all thanks to the stuff I learned from Brian. He was very patient and helpful, I would not have passed without his help. read more

Brian and the entire staff were very responsive and professional. My daughter passed her test on the first try, too!

I paid the $270 for 6 hours behind the wheel training, and $100 more for the practice hour before the test and trip to the DMV for my daughter and she failed the test as soon as they pulled out of the driveway of the DMV. What did my $370.00 pay for exactly? This is so frustrating and now she is discouraged to even drive or take the test again. **** We spent plenty of time also driving on our own before and after the school. I never said this was your fault, only that it was not worth the $370 that was spent. Please stop messaging me. *********Please stop commenting before I report you. This is very unprofessional. Please do not comment anymore and please do not contact me or my daughter. read more

Nissanka took my daughter for a 2-hour refresher driving lesson (we did 6 hours with another company, and we were not satisfied). My daughter passed her DMV test the day after! Thank you so much, Nissanka and Hi Driving School! read more

My instructors Brian and Eranga helped me to pass my behind-the-wheel test at the Fullerton DMV in only 4 hours! I had failed my first driving test when I tried to self-learn but later decided to enrol in Hi Driving School and have NO regrets at all!!! Highly recommend Hi Driving school and their amazing team with great and honest customer service. Brian had an engaging personality and was very straight to the point, it was great chatting with him while learning to drive! Two hours went by in a blink as he shared some life lessons too haha. Eranga was very kind and so patient in teaching me how to park. She gave me the confidence to pass on my second try! So happy I passed as Fullerton DMV is quite known to be very difficult to pass, thanks to Hi Driving School. Check them out if you're in SoCal/ OC area! read more

I came to Brian after a horrible experience with another driving school (I was surprised with a driving test when I wasn't ready). Brian changed my life and helped me gain my ticket to travel freedom. I passed today with 1 mistake and I can't thank Brian anymore. He boosts your confidence and teaches you without you even realizing you are learning. Best driving school ever!! read more

Hi Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

I had literally 0 hours of driving experience and have never driven a car before my lessons with Brian. It only took 10 hours of Brian's training for me to learn to not only how to drive a car safely and efficient but to pass the DMV Behind-The-Wheel test immediately after training. He is fast paced and knowledgeable and pushes you to succeed. I highly recommend HI Driving School read more

I took my lessons with Brian, and he was very helpful when it came to understanding basic rules of the road and best practices when it comes to being safe. I would be remiss, however, if I did not mention how much these lessons failed in providing me with a learning environment where I was able to gain confidence on the road. Whenever I made one little mistake (e.g, being a bit too close to the curb), he would yell and/or stomp on the brakes. Oftentimes he would yell things like "Fail!" or "No! This is common sense!" I would leave each lesson ashamed of my mistakes, and I eventually grew to hate driving. Brian also had a tendency to contradict himself when teaching me. For instance, he would tell me that I should always drive slowly when driving next to someone on a bike, then 2 or 3 lessons later, I would take his advice and drive slowly near a cyclist, and he would stomp on the gas and tell me I had to speed away from cyclists by all means necessary. I should also mention that Brian talks about his other students during the lessons. He'll make remarks about what some have been struggling with or how one of his students failed a test. Not only was this unprofessional, it just let me know that any mistake I made would be mentioned in his conversations with others. The 10-hour driving package comes with a practice drive test, where Brian/the instructor picks you up, does a practice test, and then drops you off at the DMV for your exam. Much of the practice test was filled with him yelling about mediocre "mistakes," (i.e. making a right turn and not turning the wheel as much as he prefers). To make matters worse, he berated me about how I'm not prepared for the exam and how I'm not an excellent driver. Yes, I'm still a very new driver and am not excellent by any measure, but I'm not sure that's really something to be said right before someone is about to take their instruction. Fast forward to my behind-the-wheel test that day--I'm visibly anxious and already have it in my head that I'm going to fail based on his comments. I go through the test, and when I pull into the parking lot, my examiner tells me that I've failed because I was going too slow, which is an automatic disqualification. Thinking I surely had other mistakes based on Brian's comments moments before, I asked him if there was anything else I messed up on. He passed back the evaluation score sheet and says that I was perfect except for my speed. He verbatim told me that I need to work on building my confidence and that I was being too cautious. After the examiner exits the car, Brian approaches and loudly says "You failed?! No, you get out and get in the passenger seat--you failed!" In that moment I felt like a child getting reprimanded. He essentially punished me in the middle of the parking, leaving me feeling humiliated and ashamed once again. I retook the exam 2 weeks later and passed, with literally no mistakes. I worked on building my confidence during those two weeks and actually grew to love driving. I'm not writing this review as a bitter student who wishes she was coddled more; I write this as someone who has experienced how much being yelled at while trying your hardest can negatively impact your driving abilities and relationship with driving itself. It hurt to be constantly talked down to like I was a child, and having him yell at me in front of everyone at the DMV left me in tears. I wish I were able to say that he was an encouraging instructor but unfortunately, that was not the case for me. I regret taking patronizing this business, and I will not be recommending it to others. read more

My driving instructor Nissanka was so nice and patient with me! I was nervous to start driving school but it was really nice and fun! I 100% recommend this driving school :) read more

Passed my test the first time! Driving instructor is very nice and helpful and gives you lots of useful information to help you pass.

Thank you, Brian! I wouldn't pass my driving test without you guiding and helping me. It was a good decision to take driving lessons with you. The lessons are very helpful and it made me feel confident to drive and be a better driver. Thanks again! read more

Passed the Behind the wheel exam today, thanks to Brian! He was very keen and firm, probably harder than the examiner, lol, once you are trained by him, the exam shouldn't be difficult at all. Thank you to Hi driving school I passed the first time, even if i have some minor mistakes because I was very nervous but the practice helped calm my nerves. On our third lesson Brian already made me drive in the freeway something I thought I couldn't do, he makes you believe in yourself that you can do anything you put your focus on. read more

Hi Driving School - My evaluation score sheet - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

This is a great school!!! The instructors are cool too. I learned a lot while driving. I totally recommend this school.

I'm glad I found this driving school. It's cheap and has a great instructor! Brian is really patient and teaches you everything you need to know for your driving test. It ended up raining pretty hard all throughout my test (Sept. 15), but thanks to my training I felt completely comfortable and I passed with zero errors. I'm so happy that I have my license! I got 8 hours of training (which included driving on the freeway) and the DMV drive test bundle, so I got to use the car I practiced on during my lessons. I highly recommend this driving school if you want to pass your test! read more

Hi Driving School - No errors (in the rain) - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

I took 4 lessons with Brian. Two when i first got my permit and two before my test. Brian helped me get over my fear of driving and taught me everything i needed to know to drive safe. He was very strict about everything which made the actual DMV test feel very easy. I passed my first try!! Will be using him for my younger siblings and recommending to friends. Thank you so much Brian !! read more

I took lessons back in October with Brian and with his wonderful instruction, I was able to get my license in 6 weeks. It could've taken less time considering his scheduling system is very efficient and he has flexible hours that work with my busy college schedule. I hadn't driven a car in over 3 years, but with only 10 hours of instruction, I felt more confident on the road than I have ever been. After 4 hours, he even took me on the freeway... which I had never even driven on before! He helps you really understand how to be a safe and smart driver. Unlike with my other driving instructor I took back in high school who only taught me the basics, Brian prepares you for every kind of situation that you'll encounter on the road. Other instructors would be afraid to teach certain things, but Brian really wants you to learn everything, and learn it well! With zero driving practice outside of our 10 hours of lessons, I passed my behind the wheel test with only 3 errors. No more taking the bus, calling an Uber, or driving anxiously for me. I recommend Hi Driving School to all of my friends and family! Thank you Brian! read more

It's funny that he keeps updating his review to say different things and to make you out to be a great person, which you might be but take responsibility for your wrongs. Instead of posting incorrect information, write the truth. First off, I am not a former employee, not trying to get anything free other than warning others about you. Yes, my son took your course a few years ago and we never had this issue, that is why we went with you again! Trust and believe I will never send anyone there again. For you to blatantly call my daughter a liar is outrageous because I heard the conversation myself that she would record it on her cell phone. The cell phone she was able to take out while driving on your watch. You said after you took her she was an excellent driver. That could be far from the truth. I honestly wish it was accurate however, I had to teach her basics after three lessons with you How do you say I'm an ex employee? I have never worked for you or you business. I wasn't second guessing the price and never did I ask for a refund. I asked others to spend their money else where . I know what value is and it's not at your company. read more

I never drive in my life, but since I came here I have to drive for my kids, I was scared , but my husband told me to be feel confident , that day I look for driving school and I found this hi driving school, my first instructor is Scott he is fine, and then I change it to Brian because I heard a lot of good reviews and comments about him, it's true he is really good instructor, I only drove with him total 6hrs include the 2hrs that he took me to dmv yesterday, I passed my test yesterday!!! Thanks Brian !!!! You thought me a lot!!! Take note it's first try!!! And I passed!!! read more

Great value and service. They helped my daughter get her drivers license on time even when they had to drop off paperwork that she lost along the way. I would refer anyone to them. Save money and get personalized service. read more

My teenage son required driving lessons. I ALWAYS do my thorough homework before choosing. This school popped up. Although it did not have the "most" ratings on Yelp, I was content with the positive reviews. I did notice it was $50 more than most schools HOWEVER it was TOTALLY worth it. They had an array of date options and times. They replied immediately each and every time. They were on time EVERY TIME. My son was sooooooo comfortable with them which was EXTREMELY important to both of us. The day of his driving test, they literally came one hour prior to his appointment to go over things and to refresh him. They picked him up from home, took him to his appointment, AND dropped him off at home. Needless to say, my son passed with flying colors and in iterally 7 minutes. Thank you, Hi Driving School. I think the owner is Asian and his teacher was an Indian or Middle-Eastern female. read more

Had the best experience with Hi Driving School! Before them, I took the DMV test twice and failed both times, causing me to give up trying. Well I have a baby now so I knew I needed to get my license. I bought the 10 hour DMV Drive Package which is 10 hours of training and then they accompany you to the DMV for your test, let you use their car, and they also give you one hour of prep before the test! It cost me $520 which is a really good deal. My instructor was Brian for the first and last lesson and the behind the wheel test, Nissianka was my instructor for the other 3. They are both good instructors! When I had my first lesson with Brian, I had some experience but was not at all confident. One of the first things Brian asked me was when my DMV test appointment was going to be, I told him I hadn't made an appointment and he had me make one right then and there which made me nervous because it was going to be 2 weeks from that day and I did not think I would be ready so soon. I made the appointment to be at Bellflower which was an area I was totally unfamiliar with because I live in Whittier so that made me extra nervous and made me already think I was going to fail since I don't know those streets. Well I did my lessons and Brian is a good teacher, he encourages you to be confident, he makes you repeat the same maneuvers until you get it right, and he coaches you to drive safely. The day my test came, I felt nervous because like I said, I don't know the Bellflower area well but Brian told me, "If you know how to drive, it doesn't matter where you drive, it's all the same thing" which is totally true! I told myself I was going to pass no matter what, I just had to be confident and remember everything I learned. Well I ended up passing with only 4 points taken away! I wanted to cry when the examiner told me I passed, I was so excited and so happy that I finally got my license and I have Brian and Nissianka to thank for that! By the way, I highly recommend the Bellflower DMV to take your behind the wheel test. The examiners are so nice and polite and my test was only 10 minutes. Overall, I am glad with the service I received from Hi Driving School and will definitely be recommending this school to anyone I know that is looking for help to get licensed. read more

Hi Driving School - Only missed 4 points ! Would've been less but I guess the examiner didn't see me look over my shoulder even though I did. - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

Do Not recommend! Very unprofessional. Instructor kept texting me all the time and expected an answer fast. Rescheduling was hell. Now that I used a different school I can say that they don't actually teach much. I spent half of first lesson in the car not moving at all. After a couple of lessons, I complained and then I had the owner for one leason. He kept saying people at the DMV want a driver with 5 years experience which I found hilarious. He kept directing me to go left and right and left and right for the whole lesson. It was a very stressful experience and I waisted my time and money! My current instructor gives me directions on how to achieve maneuvers before he expects me to do it. I've learned in 3 lessons what Hi driving has failed to teach me in 5. I'm expecting the owner to say he doesn't know me or that I don't live in his area because this is how they address negative reviews. Denial! Update: Owner first responded by saying he is a veteran which is completely irrelevant, then he edited his post to say I'm fake. I don't have anything to prove to him or anyone else. I'm posting my review to make people aware about this business before the waste their hard-earned money. read more

Instructor didn't even noticed my son didn't have his seat belt through the 2 hours he was driving. After the first 2 hours the instructor told me my son could go take his test. Really? It was the very first time my son was behind the wheel. This was a waste of money. Very disappointed!!! read more

I am an adult driver that wanted to brush up on my driving skills (already had my license). I had Brian as my driving instructor, and he was very good with teaching safe driving habits. He was very friendly, and very serious about his students and growing their driving ability. He definitely challenged me and had me practice things that I wasn't as proficient at, and helped me get used to driving on the freeway. I feel a lot more comfortable driving now! Highly recommend! read more

This is the first school I went to for my driving lesson. And I'm so glad that I did. I passed my test today and I feel really confident with my driving skill right now.

Hi Driving School - 4 out of 15 - Driving Schools Near Me - Buena Park, California

My instructor was Brian and he was honestly the greatest! He was easy to get along with and although I had absolutely no driving experience, he made driving very comfortable. He's a very skilled driver himself and the whole time I felt safe (even if I made mistakes, he corrected them with ease). He teaches very well and learning with him was amazing because I learned quickly. Now I'm comfortable driving anywhere because of Hi Driving School. (I also had Augustin for my third day of driving lessons. He was also as helpful and as experienced as Brian. He was particularly helpful in focusing and practicing specific driving skills (parking for me) Both Brian and Augustin were great teachers and I am really glad I found such high quality instructors for the low price. read more

Brian taught my daughter to drive. She said she was nervous at first but Brian made the learning experience fun and relaxing. After her first two hours she said driving was easy. But once the six hours was over it's like she's been driving for years. Great job Brian! Thank you for teaching her because I sure as heck was not going to. read more
