Lester was my instructor. He was great to work with! I booked the driving test package and we had a lesson before my road test. I passed on my first driving attempt. Lester thoroughly explained reference points to keep my wheel steady, and parking at the right distance from the curb. I became much more steady after he explained where within the car to look. I had another instructor (not a part of this school) who didn't explain it as well as he did. I also improved on my turns after Lester guided and explained when to break, ease off the break and apply gas. As a result, I was able to make smoother turns and focus in the smoothness over the footwork of gas vs break. He had nifty things, a large binder of the manual and other useful diagrams, and a toy car to explain concepts. I had to ask the same questions multiple times and he was patient with me each time. He also gave areas of improvements throughout the lesson. He was great a great instructor in the short time we had. Thanks! Also, shoutout to Albert. I originally had a lesson with him but changed my test date so he was not available that day. But he connected me with Lester and made sure we got into contact. read more

Chunyun (Cynthia) is amazing! I am preparing to a special driving test, and in two hours my driving habits have improved by years. She follows every minute of driving, never misses a smallest error, and instantly offers her assessment, explanation, and advice. I highly recommend Chunyun to anyone who needs to quickly prepare to a test or just improve safe driving. read more

Leon is an amazing driving instructor! He is kind, helpful, patient, and encouraging, and I learned so much from him. During our driving lessons, we practiced the driving test route, and Leon provided extremely helpful tips and feedback at every step. Because of his guidance, I was easily able to pass my driver's test. He prioritizes safety, which is incredibly important, and I always felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel. We also practiced freeway driving and parking, which was a great experience. Scheduling was flexible and convenient. I was referred to Leon by friends and would highly recommend him to any student driver! Thank you Leon! read more

I went from not having driven in 12 years to having taken a couple lessons within a couple days, and I needed a few more good practice sessions / testing car before taking the test given the short turnaround. Lester was ready, flexible, patient, and calm - helping me get to the next level with great tips and genuine encouragement as we practiced the different SF DMV test routes. I did the test in his car and passed within a week of stating lessons, which I owe to Lester (and his colleague Albert, who referred me) for being an excellent driving coach on such short notice. read more

Took my test with Lester Yeung and I passed my test first try! He was a great help and I definitely recommend him for anyone trying to get their license. Thanks Lester! read more

Lester is a good instructor. He teaches you the basics of driving and covers thoroughly all that will be on the behind-the-wheels test. I like how he also gives practical driving practice outside of the driving course to teach you how to handle real scenarios that you might face while driving. Lester is also very knowledgeable, encouraging, and pretty alert. He can talk a little too much sometimes, which can make it hard to concentrate while driving. read more

Leon is a very pleasant and very encouraging instructor for new student drivers. He's been teaching for 30 years and been around the Bay Area for a while! He prioritizes safety, rules of the road and provides specific guidance on how to pass the driving exam - the ultimate goal. He gave me areas of improvement in between sessions. His schedule is very flexible and we greatly appreciated his availability when it was convenient for us, something we couldn't find elsewhere. He responds very quickly via text when we have any questions. We went through possible DMV driver's test route numerous times. I'm ready for the test. We'll definitely recommend Leon to friends, family and anyone who is looking to pass their driving test! read more

Standard driving school instructor - Driving Schools Near Me - San Francisco, California

Leon was a great teacher for my son. He was patient and knowledgeable. I didn't know how to teach some of the skills so I was happy to find Leon. He practiced the route several times with him and passed on his first try! He also was very honest. He didn't try to make him take more lessons and said when he was ready! read more

Standard Driving is incredible. My teenage son had Leon and he was fantastic. Very clear, kind, and a really effective teacher. A great communicator. My son completed his driver's training with Leon and just passed his driving test!! All Leon's tips were spot on for the test. I recommended Leon to my (adult) friend who was very nervous about driving and taking the driving test as an adult-- he also helped her pass her driving test no problem, and helped her will being comfortable and safe at the wheel. Double thank you to you Leon! read more

Lester is a great driving instructor that teaches the key points to keep in mind when driving. He teaches with a lot of patience and gives many tips and pointers. He also takes you to practice driving the various potential test routes, so you are very familiar with what to expect when it comes to the driving test. I had no experience with driving until I started learning with Lester. Since Lester has been a driving instructor for over 20 years now, he really gave me the confidence and skills to drive well and pass the driving test really quickly (within a few weeks, about 4-5 lessons). After learning from Lester, I can say that he's a great guy who wants all of his students to pass the driving test. I would definitely recommend having Lester as a driving instructor if you want a friendly, experienced, and truly helpful driving instructor. read more

Thank you Lester!!! I finally passed! I'm an anxious test taker and previously failed two times despite taking lessons for a long time. I get so nervous! Lester took me to my last test at Daly City. He was prompt, reliable, and had a calming presence. I not only passed today but only got two dings! I'm so happy and relieved. Lester also has a new Toyota car that is super nice to drive and I think that helped too. I totally recommend him. Thank you so much Lester! read more

I had never driven before, and as an adult driver I was nervous about getting my license. Lester was the perfect teacher for me, he was clear and consistent and gave the right amount of feedback. With Lester in the car I never felt anxious or bullied, he was very patient and considerate teacher. Lester followed every COVID precaution and kept sand sanitizer on both sides of the car in addition to keeping his mask on throughout the lessons. I had two, 2-hour lessons with him before I took my drivers test and I passed with flying colors. Lester took care of making the test appointment, picking me up, providing a vehicle for the test, and he was like a celebrity at the DMV, everyone knew him, adding to my sense of security. I highly recommend Lester to anyone who wants a solid foundational driving education. read more

I got my license because LESTER the teacher is the best instructor I've had! I also had a couple of driving schools and lessons n the past but only Lester really thought me everything I really need to know. His unsurpassed patience made me more comfortable.

Ask for Lester. He offered insights and tips and helped my dad pass the driving test today in Daily City on the first shot (5/15 errors!). I enjoyed the crisp communication with Lester - he picked up and dropped off my dad in Foster City for 4 days straight and was able to deliver what we agreed on both in price and service. Highly recommended if you are looking for help with driving tests for non native speakers. read more

I passed the driving test in the Sf dmv today. Lester is a great, patient instructor and he helped a lot with making me more familiar with the dmv routes and tips to pass the test.

In her driving test, she made very few mistakes, needless to say, passed with flying colors. read more

I can't recommend Lester enough. Coming into his course, I had failed my behind-the-wheel test three times. I only had to do an hour of practice prior to my test with Lester to feel fully confident in the roads of Daly City and passed with only barely any points deducted. Lester is super proactive about helping people schedule appointments, and knows the DMV & roads in and out. You can't go wrong with working with him. read more

Lester is hands down the best driving instructor I've had (so far I've had 3). My previous instructor was 60% more expensive AND scarred me so bad that I gave up on getting my license completely. However, after 1.5 years, I mustered the courage to try again. That's when my friend recommended Lester to me. He was very familiar with all of the roads and prepared me on every single aspect. I was tested on one of the exact road he showed me. He was patient, funny, and skilled. Before, I was under the impression that I should never be allowed on the road due to my bad driving. But after 5 lessons with Lester, I have gained a new confidence that I never thought I would have. 11/10. Highly recommend. read more

Lester Young did an amazing job teaching me and was very patient throughout the process. I was able to pass on my first try!

Very good instructor, passed in first time! Knows the SF test very well. You can use his car in the test too.

It just didn't work for me. Maybe others will have better experiences. I couldn't even complete the two hours because it was so frustrating. Edit: I got my license from SF-DMV two weeks after this review so the problem was not my driving skill. Hope others have better experiences. read more

I had Leon Lee as my driving instructor and I passed the behind-the-wheel test the first time! He teaches the foundation of driving and builds your confidence as a driver by teaching you excellent driving skills/techniques. He is always kind, patient, and very knowledgeable in regards to the test/driving. I highly recommend Leon as a driving instructor! read more

My driving instructor is Leon. I was referred to this driving school by a friend. I had some driving lessons prior covid but had to stop for various reasons. Leon was very understanding that these lessons were more for practice and fine tuning specific skills while driving. He is very patient with me which I really appreciate. I find it amazing he provides an hour of practice the day of my driving test. I had to take it twice. The first time I failed, we went over what my crucial mistake was and what I could have done better. His tips are very useful and he picks up on the small bad habits I do and remind me what tools/techniques I need to use to improve. I am very grateful for his help. Would recommend to others who need a driving instructor. read more

Lester is a great teacher! He's very experienced and knows what he's talking about. I highly recommend him.

The coach was punctual and responsible, and I passed my driving test on the first try. BTW, the coach is very talkative and doesn't make the students nervous. read more

Reviewing for Lester - He's really patient and provides a lot of of examples of what to do and what to look out for. Also, his reflexes/responses on really quick - super helpful if you haven't driven a car before like me. If you make a mistake, he makes the effort to have you redo the same turn, or direction to have it done correctly so you know what to do and not do. As long as you're willing to put in the effort to learn, you will do well! read more

Leon is a great driving instructor. His driving techniques makes learning driving easy and he builds up your confidence on the road. He's also punctual and picks up and drops you for your practice session. Overall he's highly recommended if you're a beginner or just looking for practice sessions before a test read more

I never learned driving before and took a few classes with Lester before the road test. He's been very professional and knowledgeable about what will be examined so that I can practice the exact route DMV is currently using. He's trilingual in Chinese, Cantonese and English, would be great if you need some non-English assistance. Would definitely recommend Lester to those who wanna quickly command driving skills. read more

Lester yueng is a really nice teacher. He was very patient and humorous, so I didn't feel too nervous during the learning process.

Lester was a great teacher, my daughter passed her test. He is reliable and helpful. Highly recommended.

I thought I was already rushing to take my driving test by the end of June when I booked my appointment in March/april. I started lessons with Lester for almost a month and just took my test (mid May) and passed! I'm usually a very anxious person especially as a new driver but I always felt safe and could trust his directions. I went from knowing basically nothing to being very comfortable in a few weeks thanks to him helping me on practicing my turns, lane switches, making sure I always scan traffic and come to smooth stops. It definitely helped since he would take me around the areas that he knew well so that I'd start getting familiar with the same streets too. I definitely recommend taking lessons from Lester if you want to learn safely, efficiently, and confidently! read more
