We had Mr. Lee teach our daughter to drive. He is very professional, and his teaching style is also very effective. Here is the comments from my daughter: Instructor Lee was always extremely professional and great at teaching! Before starting, he explained how RPMs work and how to lightly press on the pedals without overcompensating, and I always felt safe learning with him. If I ever made a mistake he would be very courteous and helpful. His explanations are very clear and easy to understand, which was important to me because I struggled with different aspects of driving. His breakdown of where you should stay in the road and how to leverage your momentum were very helpful! It seems like he cares about the success of his driving students, and he will go above and beyond. I would definitely trust this instructor and recommend him to my friends and families. read more

I just had to leave a review because I'm so happy right now lol. My son just passed his driving test on the first try and i honestly didn't expect that!! He only did like 10 hours of lessons with Mr. Lee and i couldn't believe how much he improved. As a parent i was really worried about finding someone who could actually work with a teenager you know how they can be lol. But Mr. Lee was super patient with my son the whole time, never got frustrated or anything. My son actually liked going to his lessons which is saying a lot haha. He teaches you in a way that's really easy to understand and my son said he always felt comfortable and knew what to do. The tips and techniques he showed him really worked because he remembered them during the actual test! Honestly if you have a teenager who needs to learn how to drive just go with Mr. Lee. I would 100% recommend him to any parent. So worth it!! read more

great instructor, helped me very much. go do business with him. He teaches you the things that make you past your test and corrects your mistakes read more

I booked a class for my exam. The person who showed up kept on telling me that he meant to cancel my class and he mistakenly cancelled someone else's class after confirming 24 hours in advance. He was on phone for most of the session. At every stop session, I had to ask him if he would like to give any instruction. Rather than focussing on helping me correct my driving, he kept on asking if I took classes from someone else. And in the 2 hours, he was not even in the car for atleast more than 30 min. Overall, very bad experience. read more

If you're a parent, here's what matters: 1) schedule - flexible and really easy to work with 2) temperament - chill and taught my teen what she needs to know to pass 3) price - lower than average, based on what I've quoted This is an important step in your child passing their test and being a competent driver. Mr. Lee sends videos and feedback and is super flexible. Highly recommend. read more

Mr. Lee is an excellent driving instructor. He's professional, punctual, responsive, is an SME on all current DMV regulations, has lots of great driving tips, and pricing is very competitive. Our family had two teens go through Mr. Lee's tutelage, both said he was friendly and funny, and both passed their driver's tests on their first try! Thank you Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee is great! Call him and make your appointments. You'll be glad you did. read more

Lee DMV Licensed Driving Instructor - Driving Schools Near Me - Pacifica, California

Lee is the perfect driving instructor one could ever hope for. I'm so glad I made the right choice. He's very professional, always comes on time, like clockwork. It's insane how he is always on the dot. He's serious with the lessons, but when you get to know him, he's actually really nice and funny. I can tell that he really cares more about his student learning and passing the test, than just being hired to teach. I like how he is straightforward and strict about spotting my mistakes, and doing his best to make me remember the many things I tend to forget (I'm a very forgetful person and not an easy one to teach). He's been very patient and I really appreciate it. Before my lessons with him, I didn't think I would ever be able to drive. At 36, I already accepted the fact that I'll never will, because I couldn't trust myself. I guess, more than just instilling the driving skills itself, the most valuable thing I've gained from his lessons is CONFIDENCE. He did the almost impossible mission of building confidence in a very anxious person like me. He's super alert on the road--despite being at the passenger seat, he sees everything. That gained my trust so I didn't feel afraid on the road anymore, which is how I finally learned how to drive. He's very smart and good at assessing everything, and when he corrects something, he always makes sure to follow up with explanation so that you will get the idea. I don't see why some people get offended of being point out their mistake when it's necessary for learning. Lee helped me schedule for the exam. He explained the whole process, what to expect, and everything else I needed to know. On the day itself, he literally took care of everything and made it smooth so that all I could focus on is my test. He came early to let me practice a bit, and knew how to calm my nerves so I was able to pass the test. He wanted me to pass more than I did. I will never forget it. He's so supportive and a great mentor. Thank you very much Lee for helping me develop a valuable skill in my life. You didn't only teach me how to drive, but you also trained me to increase my alertness and help build confidence in myself. You're the best! read more

Overall Needed a driving school for our son and the previous instructor we used for our older son had retired. We found Lee Driving School on Yelp and incredibly glad we did. Our son has an excellent experience and it's doing great with his practice driving The Good Lee was quick in response and was able to get us scheduled quickly. Living in Half Moon Bay, it was difficult to find instructors that came to the coast. Lee was very happy to come to our house and in two weeks our son completed his six hours of instruction. He found Lee to be very patient and encouraging while teaching the basics. He took out son on 280 and helped him get comfortable with freeway driving. Our son's confidence has grown significantly since taking lessons with Lee. The Bad Really none that we can think of. This was a great experience and we will use Lee when our daughter needs lessons In Summary We had a great experience with Lee and highly recommend you give him a try. His costs are very reasonable. He is a skilled and accomplished instructor. We will definitely use him again. read more

Our daughter needed the 6 hours with a certified driving instructor before taking the DMV behind the wheel test and came across Mr. Lee here on Yelp. The good reviews are warranted. Lee is professional, on time and has good communication skills. He was patient and fully explained everything to my daughter before driving and during driving. My daughter had some experience driving before she started with Mr. Lee but he was able to explain important things she needed to know to pass the exam. With his knowledge and what we did before hand my daughter passed her driving test the first time. Highly recommend! read more

Very helpful and relaxing instructor! I scheduled a refresher lesson a day before my behind-the-wheel test and was able to pass. Definitely recommend! :) read more

I had a great experience as a student with Mister Li. I took three hours with him before my behind-the-wheel exam. Not only did he give me a lot of practical tips, he also challenged me until I improved enough to take the real exam! I noticed he was very patient and experienced with students with past experience but that needed to prepare for the specificities of the practical exam. I passed at my first attempt! Thanks again!!! PO read more

Excellent driving teacher. Patient, professional, and specific, and never late. Also, excellent in responding to appointment requests and questions. read more

I had great experience learning from Lee! He was very informative and patient with me. I tend to forget the little things but we went over them until I got the hang of it and was able to do it on my own. I just had my behind the wheel test and I passed first try! I highly recommend anyone who is learning how to drive to be taught by Lee he's a great instructor! read more

Lee helped me gaining my confidence back and guided me very well. I strongly recommend him for any age student, with or without DL. He has patience and gives feedback throughout the driving lesson in a positive and encouraging way. He is licensed and have dual brakes/gas. Otherwise, there are people out there who do not have this in place and they are risking students life. read more

Lee is a very professional driving instructor. He taught my teenage daughter very patiently. He built up her confidence on driving throughout the lessons. My daughter learned how to drive from Lee in a very fast pace. And the best, she passed her behind-the-wheel test on the 1st try. Thank you Lee! read more

Driving with Lee was a horrendous experience. He is very rude and unwilling to teach and easily gets annoyed if you ask questions or are not clear with something. Lee is someone who will constantly demotivate you at every turn and keep on saying that YOU WILL FAIL so that students take more lessons and pay him extra money. On top of that after taking many lessons with him, he refused to show up on the exam day, saying that I should train with some other trainer. I am glad that I still went for my exam and passed in my first attempt with only 3 minor errors (how bad could I be for Lee to demotivate me so much). Please think twice before wasting your money and self respect with lee. read more

Lee is the best instructor on earth! He will get you ready not only for your dmv road test, but for real life driving. He is patient and spends time explaining concepts. He made stop signs, left turns, right turns, lane changes and curb side parking easy! He also took me on the highway which helped me improve my confidence and skill. So anyone planning to enroll for his lessons remember these: Listen to him: if he points mistakes, take note of them and improve them! and Trust him. Thanks to him I passed my exam! read more

I posted the following review on Yelp on 6/27/22. For some reason Yelp did not approve it. Their filter may have thought it was fake because it was five stars and so positive. I assure you, it's not fake; just my genuine opinion. My grandson recently took his required under-18 six-hour course with Lee. He was very happy with how patient and encouraging Lee was. Lee was able to work within our time frame and was reasonably priced. My grandson passed his behind-the-wheel driving test on his first try. I and my grandson would definitely recommend Lee! Remove review read more

I just turned 18 and was superrrr eager to learn how to drive so I looked up instructors on yelp and the first one I found was lee super risky to go with the first one I saw but I got super lucky. Lee was super descriptive he didn't just tell me to not do something he explained why it's important to not make such and such mistakes.He was super patient and explained everything perfectly. I knew nothing and had never got behind the wheel when I had my first lesson in mid October it is now early December and I got my license and passed with only 2 errors. Super great ful that he helped me learn so quick I believe it took about 5-6 lessons. (Mind you i had no practice behind the wheel outside these lessons). read more

What more can I say? I passed my driving test on my first try thanks to Lee. First, he is very easy to get along with. He connects with you and makes you feel relaxed while driving. Second, his guidance is top notch. Points out every trick you should be wary of and every mistake that may count against you. Finally, he is invested in your success. As an experienced driver from Europe, I spent a couple of hours with him and I was amazed at how much I needed learn before the test. In fact, I lost hope of passing my driving test that day. Lee made sure that we used my time effectively and by the time I took the test, I was very comfortable. He made sure that I passed my test! I highly recommend him!!! read more

PASSED the driving test on my FIRST TRY! Lee makes driving feel effortless with his patience and attention to detail. I HIGHLY recommend Lee if you are new to driving in California / a new a driver in general. He goes above and beyond ensuring to teach you practical driving tips to get you to drive on the road and not just to pass the test. This made me extremely confident to drive safely on the road and highway after passing my test. He also books your driving test and stays with until the end. I would advice taking roughly 6+ lessons from Lee to ensure effortlessly passing the test. Also, my DMV examiner mentioned after my test that she was extremely impressed with my driving and wrote 'GREAT JOB :)' on my DMV evaluation paper - I made ZERO ERRORS, thanks to Lee!! read more

Took my driving lessons with Instructor Lee. He is professional and nice at the same time. Most importantly, I passed my driving exam and got my driver license. Highly recommended!! read more
