    She passed!
    Amanda P.

    My daughter had Kirt as an instructor and he was amazing. Kirt is very knowledgeable and thorough. My daughter felt more confident each time she finished the in car instruction. We even did the DMV driving appointment with Kirt as well and it helped our daughter feel ready for the driving test. She passed her drivers test and I couldn't be more thankful she had an instructor who really cared about a positive outcome.

    Passed my road test after 6 hr lesson with Local Driving School!

My daughter had some fantastic lessons with Jacqueline this past summer which helped to polish and round out her skills before her in person driving test. I will always be grateful to Jacqueline, not only for her impeccable teaching skill, but for her beautiful, kind, and connecting spirit. The idea of getting in the car and driving with a stranger certainly can be daunting but having the opportunity to see some of Jacqueline's teaching videos on youtube really helped us feel comfortable in choosing her as a teacher. It also was cool to see her with her daughter in one of the videos. It made me feel, here is someone who really understands. Thank you again, so much!

Appointments were easy to book online and we received reminders about the appointments. The pickup locations were also flexible, and we chose pick ups at our home. Both instructors gave good verbal feedback, and as the parent I received email summaries detailing what my son did well and what he could do to improve. I especially appreciated Jacky's teaching style, as she was a former educator and she knew how to give positive encouragement and support each student's needs. I felt she genuinely cares about her student drivers and wants to help them succeed. Her positive attitude made my son felt comfortable and more confident with each session. When she learned that we had to reschedule the driving test to the Oakland-Claremont DMV as the El Cerrito DMV (our preferred location) was closed for renovations, and we were concerned about the busy environment of the Oakland-Claremont location, she did not hesitated to offer to drive there so that my son can be familiar with the area. She exceeded my expectations and I can recommend her highly.

When I met Rita for the first time, she made me feel so welcome and comfortable and confident with learning how to drive a vehicle safely with adaptive controls and after several lessons with Rita, she felt confident that I could safely drive a vehicle and pass the DMV driving with adapter controls installed on my cars. On June 5, 2025 I was given an appointment date with the DMV for a driving test with an examiner and I had a successful outcome I " PASSED" the driving test not driving a vehicle for one year and 10 months.The knowledge and experience that Rita help develop within myself allowed me to pass this driving test and I made one mistake. I turned too wide when departing the DMV parking lot and I got dinged for that but the DMV examiner wrote on his supplemental driving performance evaluation score sheet I am a very safe driver thank you so much, Rita you are an amazing, professional, and caring, helpful instructor. Anyone needing to learn how to drive with adapter controls or just a first time driving student. I would highly recommend Rita Flanagan for all your driving needs.!!!!!

    On the website they make it seem like you can choose your instructor but that's not the case. You…read morereach with your information and then random people text you. It was jarring. My instructor was good during the lesson but on 3 occasions tried to reschedule the day before, sometimes the day of, and it wasn't for emergencies. They also told me that most people master how to turn on the first lesson despite this being my second lesson, which hurt my confidence (I think this instructor was socially awkward) I also had a different instructor who completely forgot about our appointment and then when I tried to reschedule it they claimed I needed to pay them a "cancelation fee" over venmo. There is nothing like that on the site and I found that weird. I'm not naming any names because I don't want anyone specifically in trouble, I think most people have had good experiences with Ann's and these specific instructors. Your mileage may vary. Edit: no I am positive this is the right school.

Our daughter was super nervous, and David was just the greatest. He empowered her to make safe decisions, built her confidence, and offered advanced instruction with genuine kindness and caring.

Because I was uneasy paying up front for all 3 lessons, Lindsey said I could pay for each lesson by check at the time of my appointment. This sounded great. Bill ended up being my child's driving instructor for the first lesson. Like other people have said, he did have his hand on the steering wheel most of the time, not allowing my child to have their own control. I thought this was weird, but honestly, I just needed the lesson for dmv purposes. Fast forward to several months later and I try to book the last 2 lessons. Because it's a new year now, the male on the phone said the price had gone up. I understand. The price went up. But I already had made a pre existing agreement with Lindsey, so my initial quoted prices should be locked in and honored. I already had the first lesson. The male on the phone was very insistent that even though I had spoken with Lindsey on pricing, I still have to pay the new increased price. Now how is this fair? I'm still waiting to hear back from him...so we shall see how great of a company they are....or how money hungry they really are.
