Just recently passed my drivers test and I know I could not have done this without the help of my instructor, Adam.

My young adult son had 3 lessons with Mayela last June. It was his very first experience driving…read moreand having a certified instructor for those first lessons helped build his confidence driving. He passed his driving test last September, so thank you! Will use your services again when my other son is ready for his first driving lessons.

A relative of mines paid $549 for six hours of lessons over three days…read more I want to start off with the negatives: The experience will be very hit or miss across lessons. Your experience will depend on which instructor was assigned to you. My relative had two different instructors, very different from each other. Soleiman had a nice modern car, but his heart was not in teaching the driver but more of criticizing him all the time. His attitude, I've been told, was as if this job was a side gig to him. Not passionate about teaching, and seems to not be passionate about driving in general. My relative then switched instructors to Mayela. Mayela's car was a tad outdated and kinda dirty on the inside. The good: Business owner Dee, I've been told, is a lovely woman to have a chat with. She is certainly someone who is passionate about teaching, and I'm certain most of her employees are the same. Mayela definitely was someone who shares the passion as well. Kind, patient, understanding. TLDR: Don't waste your time and money on taking driving classes with Soleiman.

My daughter had the best week ever and was excited after every day of learning. We can't thank you all enough for making this milestone a true breeze for her. We highly recommend you.

I waited to learn how to drive because I used to live in a city where I took public transportation instead. Anyways, The lady on the phone was nice and helpful when I called. You need a learner's permit to sign up for a lesson (you get it when you pass the written test ). When the driving lesson came, I was a bit nervous. My teacher, who is named Susan, was also really helpful, but she also had some bad habits like getting into conversations with me while I was driving, laughing at me, and just making unnecessary comments in general. The car has a break on the passenger side. There is no "student driver" display on the car either, only on the car doors, which don't seem visible to other drivers. I will not use their services again. If you are over 18, study the rules of the road handbook very hard and then take the written test. You will also pay a fee(check how much) and get your driver's license photo taken that day. If you have little or no driving experience, pick up the parent-teen training guide, because tips on maneuvering a car are in the book, this is hands down the most helpful. But true experience comes from just driving, so get out there. Start at the mall parking lot, then neighborhood streets, then city streets.

He put my son to ease and helped build his confidence being behind the wheel. I would highly recommend this business for parents in Ramona and Poway!

We went to Poway Driving School in person and signed up for their 10-Hours Behind-the-Wheel…read moreTraining package. It was worth every penny because our son passed his driving test on his first try. Chelsea at the front desk was wonderful in answering all of our questions and helping us with scheduling lessons. We would receive reminder emails and texts ahead of time and it was easy to contact the school over the phone whenever we needed to reschedule. Our son was initially a very nervous driver, but Andrew quickly put him at ease and steadily built his confidence. Our son always looked forward to his lessons with Andrew. After each lesson, we would receive an email linked to their portal with a detailed report card on what was covered during the lesson, how our son performed, and what areas he needed to focus on. It was very helpful for us to be able to monitor our son's progress each time he drove with Andrew so that we knew what we needed to concentrate on when he drove with us. We highly recommend Poway Driving School to anyone embarking on their driving journey. Thank you so much for all of your help, Chelsea and Andrew!

This review is posted very late but is well deserved. My son got his permit in March 2020 right…read morebefore the world shut down. He was able to get his first 2 sessions in before the pandemic hit. The program is setup for your 3rd session to prepare you for the road test. But once the pandemic set in, he couldn't get an appointment for his dmv road test. Laura was kind enough to extend the last session for a period of time closer to his road test. (You have a limited time to complete all 3 sessions if you pay for the 3 session/6 hour deal). Laura was reasonably flexible, on time, and prepared my son for his road test. It was the best value I could find. She came to our house in Eastlake and picked him up in clean and safe sedan. Communication was simple and clear. No miscommunications. Laura did a great job prepping my son to drive. Needless to say, he passed his test with no issues. I recommend national city driving school to anyone looking for a legitimate learning experience, with a professional teacher, at a great value. Shop around and you will see the value in what they offer. Take the complete package, it's worth the initial investment.

Affordable price especially when you have 2 teenagers that needed to have their behind the wheel…read moredone. I called multiple places and this one seemed to be the most affordable one. It was easy communication to set everything up and she would come and pick them up at the door. She didn't honk at them in our driveway, but instead got out which I thought was awesome! From the boys perspective, she was very through with them while driving and they learned a lot from her. We already had 1 kid do their behind the wheel test and passed and the next one is in April. Only thing I didn't like was just the last minute cancels or rescheduling but I know life is hard but overall totally recommend it and will be using them again in a year or so again for the next teen in the house.
