Unprofessional, Disorganized, and Completely Unaccountable…read more This company is an absolute disaster. I had a very important DMV appointment, and their office somehow failed to log it altogether -- even though they had no problem taking my payment right away. When I called to confirm the appointment, I was told there was no record of it. Instead of owning up to their mistake, Kenya gave me attitude and offered nothing useful except to "reschedule." The issue was entirely on their end, yet she acted like she was doing me a favor. I asked to speak to Edward, the so-called manager, and of course, he couldn't be bothered to talk to me. He had his secretary handle it instead -- who clearly had no authority and offered a bunch of useless, unacceptable suggestions that didn't help at all. I eventually had to resolve the situation myself -- something they should have handled from the start. Luckily, there happened to be another driver at the DMV at the time, or I would've been completely out of luck. This entire operation is unprofessional from top to bottom. They lack communication, accountability, and basic customer service skills. Kenya was rude, Edward hid behind his staff, and nobody took responsibility for their own mistake. If your appointment actually matters, do NOT trust this business. They will take your money, mess up your schedule, and then blame you for their incompetence. I honestly have no idea how they're still in business. If I could put zero stars I would.

He brings such enthusiasm to each lesson that it makes driving not only educational but as my son described it, genuinely fun. As a parent, I feel confident that my son is ready for his driving test thanks to Angel's guidance. My son shared that he felt completely comfortable behind the wheel, and that Angel kept the lessons engaging by talking, encouraging, and staying fully involved throughout. He said driving with Angel never felt stressful--it was enjoyable, and he actually looked forward to each session. Angel helped my teen feel at ease while still instilling the skills and confidence he needs to succeed. He also kept us informed and updated every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving teacher who truly loves what he does and inspires his students.

I took about 6-8 lessons over 4-6 months and used their vehicle for the driving test. I would recommend taking 2-4 lessons and then consulting with your driving instructor about how many more you may need, as it depends on each person. Book lessons far in advance cause they're popular! And space out as needed to afford them financially, and if possible, practice with a personal vehicle in between lessons.

Ashanti has been such a blessing in making each lesson so meaningful and very productive. At times when our instructor is unavailable, the company automatically informs me by email way in advance and finds someone to cover our schedule. However, on days when we can't make it to our recurring lessons due to unforeseen circumstances, the cancellation process and scheduling our make-up lessons with different instructors at their portal has been such a smooth process. Besides Ashanti, our main instructor, all the other lady instructors has been such a huge support in helping my child grow and making gradual progress in all of our scheduled swimming lessons. They all have been very mindful of my child's sensory issues from the get go, which I'm so grateful for, and my child always looks forward to go swimming with them. It has been such a joy to finally found a company who's a perfect fit for my child's swimming needs. I've searched for many years, but couldn't find one either because of the long waitlist or they're just not funded by the regional center (traditional funding). This year, I got into SDP, and everything has been falling into place for all of my child's needs.=) Thank you Waterworks!!!

Unfortunately, our experience has been very disappointing. We're only five weeks into the program, and on two of those five weeks our assigned instructor either didn't show up or arrived late, forcing us to be rescheduled with another instructor. The most frustrating experience happened during our most recent lesson. We arrived on time for our 10:00 a.m. appointment, got my son ready, and waited. By 10:07 a.m., there was still no instructor, so we called the office. That's when we were told that his lesson had been changed at 9:54 a.m.--just six minutes before his scheduled start time, after we had already arrived and were waiting for his lesson to begin. Thankfully, they were able to find another instructor for him at 10:40 a.m., but my son still had to wait an additional 40 minutes. To make matters worse, when our original instructor arrived for her 10:40 lesson with another family, she walked right past us without offering any apology or even acknowledging us or my son. This wasn't the first time either. On previous occasions when she was late or absent, she also never apologized or acknowledged the inconvenience. I understand that scheduling issues and emergencies happen. What I don't understand is the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic courtesy. Families invest their time, money, and trust in these lessons, especially when they're for children who rely on consistency and routine. A simple apology and better communication would have gone a long way. I hope management takes these concerns seriously so other families don't have the same experience we did. If other families are looking for lessons for their loved one, I would avoid this place.

Pino was a fantastic driving instructor! He was funny, kind and extremely patient. He planned lessons according to my driving ability and focused extra attention on areas I was weak in. He definitely helped me build my confidence as a driver. His schedule was pretty flexible too - I did most of my lessons in the evenings and weekend mornings, but I believe he can schedule them throughout the day. The school's prices are reasonable, compared to other driving schools near Long Beach, CA (although the school's located in Compton, they will pick you up if you live in nearby cities). However, price really wasn't my issue; I'm just glad I found a competent driving instructor who succeeded in making me a good and safe driver! read more

Olympic Driving School is excellent. Like another reviewer, I too was a little embarrassed to just be getting my license in my mid 20's, but the staff let me know that it's no big deal and gave me the confidence to drive safely, defensively and pass the test within 3 weeks of training (I spaced out my hours this way, but they'll tailor it to your specific needs as a driver depending on your experience). I started out with Julie, who is a great instructor, but Pino took over and was very patient, even when I would get frustrated. He is really down to earth and professional. They're also very affordable, highly recommended. read more

That should indicate the positivity the community felt about Beach Driving School's driving instructions. I hired Tom for my son who has since has his license for nearly 3 years. My son is a late bloomer, driving at 17-ish (heavy on the -ish, he was a near grown @ss adult), but with the help of Beach Driving School, he passed on his first attempt. TRUSTWORTHY. As a parent, even though my son was 17, I had to trust the person going out with my child. My son was picked up from home as scheduled. Tom was good at giving feedback on his progress. Even though it just might be the instructor taking taking bigger risk with my son behind the wheel... my son enjoyed going driving and by the last session, felt confident in his ability to drive independently. RELIABLE. My son told kept me abreast on when his lessons were and when time came for the driving test, he was provided with a maintained, reliable vehicle to use to pass the behind-the-wheel test. I didn't buy my son a new car, so I needed to make sure that he was comfortable in the car he was driving and that it was in working order and qualified as a vehicle that could be used for his test. PRICING. Beach is affordable, and I paid half upfront and half upon completion. I looked around and that appears to be customary at smaller driving schools. My niece used AAA and paid twice as much for the same outcome. If the end result is the same, why not go with the economical choice? Now my youngest son is ready for driving lessons, and I'm here searching for the number for Beach Driving School. Here we go again! I would recommend Beach for drivers at any age needing some driving instruction or behind-the-wheel experience.
