A huge thank you to Angie and David!

S pass driving school was recommended to me by a family friend, but after my negative experience with the previous driving school I was wary. My first contact with S Pass Driving School was positive as the receptionist was so nice and accommodating. I had to make a schedule change last minute and she was able to squeeze me in. I first met David who was very thorough and easy to make conversation with. My remaining lessons were Angie and she was extremely thorough. We would go over the same intersections until I felt completely ready. I gained so much confidence with them, and we went over ALL the test points (even scanning intersections before entering them which i had no idea about!). I really didn't think I'd ever pass after taking so many lessons and feeling defeated. My 3 lessons with S Pass driving school fueled my confidence, I'm now licensed thanks to them!! I was very unfamiliar with the El Monte area (where I took my test), but I was able to pass with 3 lessons and no additional practice in the area because of how observant they are during the lessons. They are extremely thorough and their business is so organized compared to others I've encountered. The entire team is so nice and friendly. Again, a huge thank you to the S Pass team, I don't think I could've gone with a better option!

I couldn't practice at home and I wanted to sharpen up my skills as much as possible, so I bought two intermediate packages (36 hours). The sign up and payment process with Carly is easy! I just gave a call, was texted dates and times of my appointments, and the driving instructor would arrive. Derek is straightforward! If there's room for improvement or you make an error, he'll tell it as it is. He'll try to understand your thought process of why you made the error, and then give clear instructions on the proper approach and what to do next time. This really helped me improve and grow after each lesson! If you're an adult driver that is anxious about the road and self-conscious of their own skills, I highly recommend ADVAN Driving School!

SERIOUSLY DO NOT GO WITH THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!! At first I saw bad comment on Yelp but I ignored it…read moreand soon I regretted I had lessons with this instructor called Zoren and he teaches REALLY BAD!!! He kept saying little gas, more gas, no gas within the same 5 seconds, giving confusing signals, and blaming me adding gas while my foot was not even on the padel... He never actually looked at what ur doing but just arrogantly thinking he knows you the best. When you asked him what mistake you made and how to fix the problem, he never able to teach u the right way. Instead he'll just say, ' just take more lessons and you'll be better.' YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN NOTHING AFTER CLASS... and I really hated him kept saying he will bring me to good places around here, I was like 'I don't even care about the tourist spots I just want to learn how to drive. Who cares if the place is rich or no?' Appreciate him took me around but he's gone too over for real. One more thing is when we were on the street, the speed limit was like 35mph but he kept asking me to drive at 20 something... when I speed to around 30+ he'll start judging. But I knew the DMV is gonna fail you if you drive too slow... the fact that when I was having lessons with another driving school, the instructor told me I was driving too slow on a 35 street with just 27-29 speed but this Zoren always say I can't drive fast... I really got pissed by him because he said like he's the only one who knows how to drive in the entire world, really arrogant. The last lesson I told him I am not taking class with him anymore cause I'll change to another teaching school and he just told me I AM NOT GONNA PASS MY TEST CAUSE I DONT DRIVE WELL the fact turned out I passed my test with only three mistakes proves I drive okay even I start from zero. But the credit doesn't go to this driving school at all

I failed 3 times So my ex bf who is now my hubby enrolled me to a different traffic school nearby his apartment. He said he's one of the best.. Sooooo I met Zoren who was my driving instructor and only taught me for 2 hours before my actual driving test, he's so nice and funny because he's Armenian and knows how to speak a little bit of Tagalog. Anyway, after my session with him, he went with me and drove to Glendale DMV for my actual test, he's a bit popular there because driving examiners knows him. Lol! And I remember the examiner told me i was lucky that Zoren was my instructor. After my test, finally, i passed Thanks to Chase Driving School

This way, if you are unable to get in touch with the instructor to agree on a location and time, you can refer back to the support team for assistance.

He breaks the lessons down easily and goes at your own pace, especially if you are up for a challenge. Omar drives a 2017 Chevy Camaro with a V8 engine. Overall, the pricing for the class is great, considering all the topics that are covered in the lessons. Also, the Camaro is great for beginners, especially if you get to the uphill driving portion.

Johnathon was patient and great with my son, who really liked working with him. On top of that, their prices were the most reasonable we found in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for a driving school that gets your teen real practice right away without breaking the bank.
