10/10 driving school. Instructors are amazing and sweet but also brutally honest to insure that we…read morehave safe teen drivers around our community. It took me only one attempt to pass my behind the wheel exam at the dmv with only 4 small mistakes. Manny (along with the rest of the instructors), are trained professionals that will insure that you or your kid will be ready for the dmv test and all you have to do is listen to them and be on your A game. Thank you so much to the Santa Fe driving and Traffic School team, best wishes to all who attend this amazing driving school.

**Please Read*** I wish someone would have told me all this when I took lessons here…read more I'm only giving this review 3 stars for a specific reason. Manny and the office staff were FANTASTIC--super nice, and they made me (as a driver in training) feel comfortable. Now, I didn't get to experience how nice they were until my last lesson, though. On my first lesson, instructor Tess made me weary of driving. I got my permit in July 2016, but my family didn't have the money for lessons. In early 2017, I finally came across the money to purchase lessons through Santa Fe. Now, mind you, I was cheesy but i knew it was illegal for me to drive without my permit signed by my instructor, so my first experience driving was with Tess. After arriving 15 minutes late, she ran through hand motions, lane changing, turning, and 3-point turns (in theory) so quickly it could've made my head spin. After that, she took me to the residential area near the Hanford Baseball Complex. And Hanford West. It was after school hours and during baseball season, so there was some traffic from students and parents of all sorts. Every time I'd do something wrong--like turn the wheel with my hands in the wrong position--she'd shout at me, and then try to reconcile by saying something along the lines of "I'm just trying to help... remember: 'Tess is the best!'" It got to the point where I almost cried. And this was BEFORE she tried to teach me how to back up on the curb by having me face forward, COVER my eyes, and have me back up. Then, she had me drive her to a nearby Starbucks so she could use the restroom, and yelled at me AGAIN when I didn't know how to park perfectly. By the end of the lesson, I was pretty shaken up. My next lesson was in May 2017 with Joyce. Because of my experience with Tess, I was weary about driving, so I hadn't practiced too much. When it was time for my lesson with Joyce, she was also 15 minutes late. We were supposed to meet at Lemoore Park. When she called me asking where I was I told her I was at the park waiting, and she responded with "Well I'm in the spot where I ALWAYS pick up students!" As if I should have known. After walking around the corner to her, she chided me for wearing Birkenstocks to drive... FYI it was MAY and already 90 degrees outside. Whatever, I didn't know. She was more tolerable than Tess, but was shocked when I needed a refresher course on things like the SMOG-technique of switching lanes and arm motions. Afterwards, I kept her form yelling at me by keeping conversation as I drove, and that might've saved my sanity. My last lesson was with Manny in November 2017. Since May, I had practiced a lot. Honestly, though, I was DREADING my last lesson. I was very nearly traumatized by the last two instructors, and it made me nervous to even think about taking another driving lesson. Nonetheless, Manny was HANDS DOWN the best instructor out of the 3. He was kind, didn't yell at me for not knowing answers, and he made me feel like my questions were valid. He also didn't make me feel inferior, unlike Tess and Joyce. In all reality, he made my review go from a 1 to 3 star. I'm so glad I ended my driving lessons on such a good note. If you plan on taking lessons through Santa Fe, save yourself the hassle and ASK FOR MANNY!

I called back in February and was told they don't book that far out to try again 3 week prior. So I called today and was told the day I wanted to was already completely booked. I prefer the Fresno location and was told today they have nothing available. Just keep this in mind that scheduling can be a little difficult if you have a busy schedule and prefer to have things booked in advance.

Didn't know what to expect but the few reviews on Yelp were favorable so I opted to give my business to them. Express Learning also sends out text notification reminders a few days prior to your driving instruction so that helps. Initially started with Manuel for the first two lessons then another (whom I did not get their name) then for the last instruction (as I rented a vehicle thru Express) the GOAT of driving instructors, Rafael. Although I have taught my child the basics and kept her up to speed with the current driving climate in Fresno/Clovis, I still had to rely on driving instructors to provide insight on what the DMV will test for her behind the wheel. Rafael filled in the gaps and provided the "old school" way of how to be the good driver that my teen needed to be. My daughter aced her behind the wheel today with zero mistakes! A collaborated effort with Express Learning Driving School indeed. I recommend this business to any parent seeking a reputable driving school.
