Richard is an amazing instructor. He taught my daughter several years back and is currently working with my son. Both my kids describe him as calm, informative and easy to communicate with. He provides us with feedback after each lesson, on strengths and areas to work on. I highly recommend Richard- Premier driving school! read more

Premier Driving School is the best! My son took driver's training through them and had Richard as an instructor. He guided my son in the right direction and gave him great feedback! My son was able to take the driving test and pass on his first try! I would highly recommend Premier Driving School! I will be using them when my daughters learn to drive. read more

We used Premier Driving School for all our kids. Richard is kind, calm and prepares his students really well for their driving test. Highly recommend! read more

My son was 17 and we wanted him to get his drivers license sooner than later. Because he was under 17, he needed to get a "Certification of Completion of Behind-the wheel Training". Richard took my son out on three different trips: street, freeway, and drivers test. We received an assessment after each trip and we were able to take our son out and practice the items that Richard recommended he work on. My son was more confident and so were we of my son's ability after each lesson. Richard was very professional and a good teacher. read more

Wonderful driving school for your teens. Richard is wonderful and attentive, and guided my kids to getting a license professionally and patiently. We always get a reminder to schedule the next class ahead of time, and they are very accommodative. Needless to say my children got their license in their 1st driving test. read more

Highly recommended!!! Richard was a terrific driving instructor. He is both patient and very friendly. My 19-year-old son had never gone behind the wheel and was initially extremely nervous at the idea of driving. Richard provided professional and reassuring coaching that helped my son gain confidence and develop all the driving skills required. My son passed the driving test at 1st attempt and we are both extremely grateful to Richard. Thank you! read more

Initially we started with another driving school, but after one disastrous lesson, we were quick to ask around for recommendations from friends. We were so fortunate to be able to work with Richard at Premier. He is very patient and knowledgeable and quickly put my kids at ease which made for a great learning experience. He was able to answer any questions they had and provided great follow up reports so that we were all on the same page and could identify any areas that need extra work. The office was easy to schedule with and worked at a pace to suit my kids independent driving. With a successful experience, we knew we wanted to have Richard teach our youngest as well. Thanks to the considerate and skilled tuition, both kids passed first time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard read more

Richard was an absolutely amazing instructor - cannot be more thankful to him! I was a very nervous adult learner - never got a license during high school but finally decided I had to after moving to California. I didn't have access to a car to practice outside of lessons and also had gaps in lessons as a working adult so it wasn't the easiest. Richard helped me through it all, especially at the beginning when going above 7 mph in residential felt "too fast" to me. He was so patient and great in getting me grounded in the basics but also pushing me when he thought I was ready - his style worked really well for me to actually learn and build on my skills and I cannot recommend him enough to other nervous late learners. When I first started taking lessons (at another school), I wasn't sure if I would actually learn to drive or if I would give up since it was so nerve wracking but Richard got me through it and I passed the road test on my first try!!! read more

Late driver here; Richard was effective and patient in laying out the steps involved in not just passing a test once but also getting more comfortable in the mental decisions made when driving - important in a case where I would have little opportunity to practice outside the driving school lessons all the way up to the road test. Communications with the office for appointment changes as needed and opportunities for additional lessons to cover areas as required were also prompt. Took around 3 months of lessons to go from 'haven't driven, though passing written test' to 'pass road test on first go'. Good experience! read more

Richard was an amazing instructor! He was very knowledgeable and he helped me develop the confidence I needed to finally take my driving test. He answered my many questions and provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed to pass my driving test my first attempt. Overall Premier Driving school was exceptional and great communication was maintained throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend! read more

My wife and I have long driving experience in various countries. However, we need a California driver's license to after we moved to the United States. We were able to learn the driving rules in California in detail by Richard's kind, polite, patient, and courageous support. And we managed to get our licenses. I am incredibly grateful. read more

Premier Driving School is a great choice in learning and guiding you through the driver's licence process in CA. I got my license in October 2014, and while I was making use of their services, Richard was my instructor. He was a very patient and well-spoken teacher, and his methods were highly effective at picking up driving skills in the classes. I'd recommend learning from him if you have the option to! Additionally, Premier was good to work with with scheduling and logistics. They were quite flexible with pick-up and drop-off. read more

I was a first time driver when started behind the wheel training with Premier Driving school's instructor Richard. Richard was recommended to me by the school, as English not my first language I needed a clearly spoken instructions. I was very nervous to began to drive, but Richard reassured me and in very short time he helped me to build knowledge and confidence in driving. I am very thankful to him for his patience and friendliness that putted me in ease. Richard takes his job very serous, he is punctual, honest and cares about his students great deal. I would recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for professional and caring instructor. Thank you very much Richard! read more

I'll admit, they were hard to get a hold of at first. I texted, no answer, I called twice and it rang out to voicemail but then I emailed and got prompt replies from Michelle from then on. After speaking to her it seems they are very busy this time of year. After a nightmare of a driving lesson with another company where I had no idea what my instructor was saying as his accent was so thick, I was apprehensive. I opted for the adult behind the wheel package, three 2 hour lessons. I had my first lesson today and it was night and day from my prior experience! Richard was a great instructor, really calm and relaxed but also attentive and paying a lot of attention to what I was doing. He explained things well with diagrams and gave me lots of constructive criticism, and took notes on what I had to improve on. The lessons cost a lot more than the other company but I would say it is worth paying extra for. read more

I started learning to drive learning pretty late and was apprehensive about my abilities. My bad experience with other driving schools did not help either. Then someone pointed me here and I could not have found a better driving instructor. Richard is polite and supportive. He is very knowledgeable and knows what kind of teaching style works for different drivers. Richard knew exactly how many classes I would need to learn ( they give you a plan with dates based on your test date) and gave me great pointers through them which helped me get my license. I would recommend Richard as an instructor to anyone who wants to learn how to drive or improve their skills. I was referred to him by a friend who was referred by someone else and everyone speaks very highly of him. Richard has many years experience as an instructor and that comes through in the classes and success of his students. The office is also very supportive with any request. I had a great experience with Premier Driving School. read more

I've been putting off attempting to drive for a long time (I'm almost 27) primarily because of my own anxiety. About six months before my permit expired (again) I reached out to Premier Driving School and they were able to schedule my first lesson. After an initial assessment with Richard we were able to set up a schedule for the next few months and I had the option to receive help setting up my driving test and have a practice lesson right before. The number of lessons we set up was perfect and I am so glad I decided to get the driving test set up through them as well since dealing with the DMV can be so stressful. Richard was an amazing instructor. He was always calm and made me feel at ease while driving. He gave good pointers and made sure we ran through all of the things that would be on the test. This was, again, so helpful. Even though I was so nervous going into the test I was able to pass on the first attempt. I was super pleased with the service and very grateful to have had the help jumping this personal hurdle. read more

Richard was fantastic! Highly recommend for all especially teenagers learning to drive.

Honestly terrible customer service. I had an appointment and they called me to reschedule but on the day of my lesson no one was able to take me driving. I would suggest not coming here unless you would like to waste your time. When I called no one picked up and it went straight to voicemail. read more

Both of our kids learned to drive through Premier Driving School and they were able to successfully pass their driver's license exams on the first try. Richard was the on the road instructor for both of them and he always gave us a clear and concise evaluation of the lesson and told us what they did well and what we should work on with them. He used a Toyota Corolla and a Prius both of which looked to be safe and in excellent condition. We called to set up the initial driving lessons and after that did everything by email, though Michelle called the kids and gave them 3-4 dates and times to pick from to schedule the next one. All in all it was a smooth and successful experience and we have recommended them to many of our friends. read more

I have called their phone number three times, with them calling back once with a message saying to call them back. Which my mom did; she left another message which wasn't returned. I just called them an hour ago and if they don't reply back I'm taking my business elsewhere; and guess what, no response. Unless you could get a hold of them by other means, like physically showing up at their office; find another driving school. read more

I was a first time driver when I started my behind the wheel training with instructor Richard. I cleared my exam in 1st attempt. I'm very happy to take his lessons.. He is very caring and understood my requirements. He gave me lots of confidence and made my driving very comfortable. After moving from India, I was driving in less than 6 months. I will recommend him to everyone who wants to enjoy their driving. read more

After a bad experience with Stanford Driving School which went bust in the midst of my son's training, Richard was a breath of fresh air. He was excellent to work with. My son enjoyed his instruction and did well in his DMV road test. I just loved that he gave my son a quick reminder course immediately before the test and stayed with him while he took the test and then drove my son home with his new license in tow. :) read more

My daughter had Richard for her instructor. He was very good and informative and taught good driving skills. I had two older daughters at a different school. Premier Driving School is definitely better. Not all driving schools are the same. My youngest son is ready to start driving too and we're definitely coming back! read more

Passed my driver's exam on my first try and with few errors. Major shoutout to Instructor Richard, who is amazing. He's very calm and patient and was able to talk me through some difficult driving situations. He gave me the confidence I needed to drive well, and if I could recommend anyone to be your driving instructor, he's your guy. read more

My son, the reluctant driver, was lucky enough to get Richard Hui as his driving instructor. Richard was so patient and made my son feel at ease behind the wheel. Premier was also very flexible with scheduling. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend them. read more

I was hesitant to use an outside school to help my daughter learn to drive. I had taken driving lessons from Key Driver Training (now defunct) as a teen and did not have found memories. Scare movies like "Red Asphalt" and driving instructors that did not believe that I had never driven before (too many video games), and took me on the freeway for my fist drive... during rush hour! So trusting my daughter to strangers was very difficult for me. Michelle was very patient with me and understood my concerns, and Richard was outstanding behind the wheel! He was pragmatic in his education, making sure she understood all of the basics before moving on to more difficult skills. My only negative comment has to do with the State's mandate of so many hours of "classroom" time which equated to a frustrated home-schooled daughter who is used to demonstrating mastery and moving on, not being endlessly drilled. Again, that is not Premier's fault, it is our fault for letting our legislators equate mastery with number of hours in a "classroom". Her older brother had to wait until his 18th birthday to avoid all of this so I could teach him to drive myself. I have to say, Premier did a much better job. My daughter flew though the written test and the behind the wheel test. In fact the examiner was extremely please with her behind the wheel skills... my son, however, scared the examiner. Overall I am very happy with the experience (in spite of the negative above), and will be definitely using Premier when my younger children come of driving age. read more

As a parent, I am glad that my son signed up with Premier Driving to prepare him for the driving test. My son took his time with the online driver's ed portion...passed on the first try. Michelle was readily available via email...I found out email was better than calling the office. She was very helpful in scheduling and also explaining the whole process. For the driving portion, Richard was extremely patient and went out of his way to ensure that my son would pass the test. Richard documented and gave pointers for improvement as well as giving my son more confidence in driving. We paid for an extra session so he could be more comfortable with driving around the DMV area. It was totally worth it. I would highly recommend Premier Driving School for any teen who is learning to drive. read more

I was able to get my license on my first try at Los Gatos Richard was an AMAZING instructor. He gave me wonderful tips on how to drive safely and pass the test. read more

The office manager, Michelle was more than thorough and very helpful with my many questions. Returned calls and emails promptly and is very personable and easy to talk to. She was able to schedule my daughters lessons spaced out perfectly to be able to test right on her birthday which was important to her. Richard, the drive instructor was patient and calm and my daughter felt very comfortable driving with him. He answered questions and had great feedback at the end of each of the three lessons. He made my daughter feel confident and at ease. My daughter passed on her first attempt with zero faults. I will be returning to Premier for my son in a few years. read more

Richard was very patient and was on time, but he missed emphasizing some key features which caused my daughter to lose some points during her test. Michelle also gave me some bad advise on the choice of DMV's. They are bit overwhelmed because they are getting customers from Stanford driving school, which closed down, but I will not be using them again. read more

I got my license a year ago. I am an adult driver and never drove my entire adult life (I am from a country where you don't need to drive). So I was quite intimidated as to where to start. My spouse was very impatient in teaching me, so decided to invest in hiring a teacher. It was not cheap or sometimes easy to book Richard, but he was really excellent in giving me a well-structured, broken-down steps and amazingly I was able to learn how to drive slowly but steadily. (My lessons were spread over 7 or 8 months due to booking difficulty on both sides). Richard can communicate and guide you very calmly (which is crucial) and very clearly. He is very friendly and professional, and obviously have a talent in teaching. I failed the very first test for a silly mistake that could have been prevented with more practice. But after that Richard gave me extra lesson and assistance, so I passed on the second try. Today I am driving to work everyday and I am confident in driving far distance across the Bay. For the sake of safety and my confidence, I think it was a very good investment worthy of money. read more

This place was a great place to get your hours before getting a license. Richard was patient and he taught me how to be a great driver. I definitely recommend going this place. Michelle and Richard make a great team. Thanks read more

I had a great experience with Premier Driving School. Richard is a fantastic instructor and gave me several valuable tips that helped me pass my driving test. He is very punctual and flexible with pick up and drop off timings and locations. read more

Going into these lessons I was super nervous because I had never drove with anyone other than my mom. When my first lesson finally came, my instructor, Richard Hui was excellent! He made sure I knew what we were gonna do that day and gave me amazing tips to pass the driving test. Overall, Richard is an excellent driving instructor and I highly recommend him. Finally, it was time to take my driving test and everything that Richard and I talked about was on the exam and because I knew what was going to happen, I was calm and relaxed. I passed my first try! I am really happy with my experience with Premier Driving School and highly encourage Richard. read more

My daughter and I had a great experience with Premier Driving School. We called to set up driving lessons and Michelle was on top of things. She was very friendly and helpful. The driving instructor was Richard. He was very patient with my daughter. I was also able to ride along to see her skills and check out the instructor. It was great. The other two sessions she did alone and spoke highly of Richard after each session. We were sent reminders to schedule our last session as dates as times were filling up for summer. I totally forgot to make the appointment due to a family emergency. When we called to make appointment the dates we needed were booked. We were in panic mode but Richard called and said he would squeeze us in for the following day. My daughter took her behind the wheel test and passed the first try. I would defiantly recommend this school. Thanks Richard and Michelle!!! read more

We heard about Premiere Driving School from a Yelp Review written by a friend. I have twins and so needed to schedule our lessons together. Andrea was very helpful and anwered all our questions initially. She explained the 3 lesson plans and timeline. I set the first lesson with Richard and he arrived on time and was very helpful. The girls loved his gentle unflappable manner and he was very good about giving us feedback on what to work on before the next lesson. After our third lesson we went to our DMV tests on consecutive days and both girls passed! Thank you Richard and thank you Premiere! read more

It's great! They teach you everything you need to know, and more! I totally recommend Premier Driving School to guiding you in getting you CA license. read more

I have enrolled my 5 children in different driving schools. My experience with Premier Driving School was by far the best. The customer service is wonderful. My daughter could actually understand the instructors (which was a big problem with other driving schools). They took the time to talk to my daughter before and after each session and took the time to talk to us. My daughter passed her DMV driving test on the first time no problems. I am giving Premier Driving School the highest rating and I will tell anyone who asks that this is the best driving school in Santa Clara Valley. read more

Richard and Michelle were fantastic with my son and taught him all the key elements of driving, presence of mind, making critical decisions as well freeway practice. The instructions were methodical with systematic feedback and followup. Without their explicit help it would be very difficult to develop his confidence and eaily pass his driving test in his first attempt. Thank you Richard and Michelle. read more

Really wonderful school, Richard was an awesome instructor. Everything was very clear, nothing was excessive. The cars you drive are safe and have an extra brake pedal for the instructor, and they come to you! Will probably recommend to other friends, really satisfied. read more
