A special shout-out to my instructor, Wassim, with whom I took most of my lessons. He was incredibly calm, patient, and encouraging, which made a huge difference in reducing my driving anxiety and building my confidence behind the wheel. The full driving package, along with the 1-hour practice session before my test, helped me pass my driving exam. Wassim shared countless practical tips on making safe turns, changing lanes, backing up, and many other driving techniques that were invaluable, not just for passing the test, but for becoming a safer driver overall. The entire experience was professional from start to finish. Scheduling lessons was easy. I would highly recommend A-Z Driving School to anyone looking for quality driving instruction.

What impressed me…read moremost is that when I paid 3 session and could not find the time i want ( my mistake), they refunded me and let me schedule one at a time. Again, i underestimated that summer is a busy time, I could not find any time to finish the rest before my kid's test next week. So i had to go to an individual instructor. Advantage had no issue to send a letter for the one lesson completed by them. I think a business shows true character when spending time for things not bringing revenue, but helping clients, 100% recommended!

The front office here is a complete mess. Unfortunately, I can't even review the instructor because…read morewe never made it that far. We purchased a 6-hour lesson package for our child and called to schedule the first lesson. The appointment was confirmed with a specific date and time. Simple enough--or so we thought. On the day of the lesson, the scheduled time came and went. After waiting 30 minutes with no instructor and no communication, I called the office. They had no idea where the instructor was and told me they would call to find out. Fifteen minutes passed without a callback, so I called them again. That's when they casually told me, "Oh, the instructor wasn't feeling well and decided to go home." Seriously? Not a single person thought to call us before the lesson to let us know the instructor wasn't coming. Instead, they were perfectly content to let us sit there waiting indefinitely until *we* called them. And after supposedly contacting the instructor, they still couldn't be bothered to call us back. We had to chase them down a second time just to learn what had happened. The most disappointing part was how they handled the situation afterward. There was a meek apology, no attempt to find another instructor, no effort to accommodate us, and no ownership of their mistake. We were simply told that they're busy and the next available lesson would be in three weeks. And oh yea, they also said, it's busy everywhere so that's that....now do you want a refund or what? In other words: **their scheduling failure became our problem.** At that point, I requested a refund. Hopefully, processing that is more organized than scheduling a lesson. If this is how the front office handles something as basic as communicating a cancellation, I'd be very hesitant to trust them with anything more important. Customer service isn't just about being polite--it's about respecting your customers' time. Unfortunately, that seems to be completely missing here.

Because our 19-year old daughter has learning disabilities, my wife and I wanted to make sure she…read morereceived additional driving instruction and contacted Beverly Driving School. We were willing to pay additional funds to help our daughter competently manage the responsibility of a car. We paid for 82 hours of lessons beginning 6/18/25 to 10/18/25. All of our payments were made directly by request to Mack (real name: Mohsen Khaziri) and not Beverly Driving School. The number on his website is his cell phone. Mohsen was aware our daughter had learning disabilities and we were convinced he had the training and skills to help someone like her. Knowing that he was a father gave us even more confidence that she would get the security she needed. And the fact that we invested a significant sum of money is a testimony to our commitment to get her the help she needed. On our initiative, my wife and I did ride-alongs with Mack and our daughter because we put our trust in him as a professional. When our daughter started giving us feedback that her motivation for continuing was lacking, we didn't take it too seriously since it's been a challenge for her to stick with things. Later, we realized the discomfort wasn't the process but was with Mack. Our daughter told us she was touched inappropriately on multiple occasions. He repeatedly asked to meet with her outside of lessons and requested it be kept secret. I confronted Mack by phone on 10/18/25 and after asking directly, he acknowledged viewing pictures of her on her phone. I also asked him directly about touching her thigh and he said yes - apparently because she moved her seat too far forward. Lastly, I asked him if he had ever behaved inappropriately and he denied it. He did not apologize for any of this but changed the subject to her upcoming driving test. My wife and I have taken further steps with the police about this. We filed police report P25-291-0621 with SJPD Officer D. Tran #5131. He took advantage of a person with learning disabilities and it doesn't matter what age. It was one of the most deplorable things one can do. It was done from a position of immaturity and he could have told us this was going on but he didn't say a word. We do not want this behavior to be repeated with anyone else. In addition, at the end of summer, Mack also asked us for a significant cash advance because he "needed it". We refused. I also repeatedly asked for billing statements and after repeated entreaties, received a hastily typed word document. I'm still waiting for a summarized statement of our lessons.

From the moment we toured the facility while pregnant with our first child, we knew this was the right place for us. Our child has attended Nelly's since they were 10 months old, in the infant classroom and is now 2.5 years old in the preschool classroom. I was nervous to send my child at what I felt was such a young age, but now I know I would truly feel comfortable sending my child there at any age. The staff at Nelly's is the absolute best! I cannot speak highly enough of the director, or of the maestras and support staff. They are all equally amazing! My child loves all the maestras and knows each one by name. The way they love all of the students and treat them with kindness, respect, and excitement everyday is such a special thing to see. You can tell how much they care for their students and their wellbeing. I can comfortably go to work each day knowing my child is safe and well cared for, and that's everything you could want for your child when they are being taken care of elsewhere. The classrooms, play areas, meals, artwork, activities - it is all really fantastic. Our child has food allergies and some other health related situations and they have been so safe and cautious. The communication between the staff and parents is really wonderful too. They really have our child's best interest in mind at all times and it shows every day. My child has grown so much in every aspect - physically, mentally, emotionally. And although this is a bilingual daycare primarily focused on Spanish, our child's speech in both English and Spanish has improved immensely. The staff at Nelly's make each day so fun for the kids and they are always learning about new subjects. The staff plan wonderful outings to involve the families and students throughout the year and it's really nice as a working parent to have those moments with your child. The staff at Nelly's also made us feel so prepared and supported through the potty training process and now we are past that initial stage and our child is doing great. I will be so sad for the day we have to move on from Nelly's, but I'm so thankful that is still a ways out.

By the time my son started Kindergarten, he was well-prepared and eager to learn, thanks to Ms. Jane's influence. She played a crucial role in his academic and social readiness. Now, as my daughter begins TK, she is equally prepared for school because of Ms. Jane's guidance. Ms. Jane not only prepares children for school, but also lays the groundwork for life, teaching responsibility, manners, respect, and how to care for one another. Her unique ability to connect with children means they both adore and respect her. I often struggled to get my kids to listen at home, but a quick call to Ms. Jane would immediately improve their behavior. My children frequently say that they miss Ms. Jane, and they often draw pictures for her or eagerly share their weekend adventures.
