    A huge thank you to Angie and David! The driving school I went to prior was terrible and after…read moretaking over 20 hours worth of lessons I didn't gain any confidence on the road, nor did I feel acknowledged. S pass driving school was recommended to me by a family friend, but after my negative experience with the previous driving school I was wary. My first contact with S Pass Driving School was positive as the receptionist was so nice and accommodating. I had to make a schedule change last minute and she was able to squeeze me in. I first met David who was very thorough and easy to make conversation with. My remaining lessons were Angie and she was extremely thorough. We would go over the same intersections until I felt completely ready. I gained so much confidence with them, and we went over ALL the test points (even scanning intersections before entering them which i had no idea about!). I really didn't think I'd ever pass after taking so many lessons and feeling defeated. My 3 lessons with S Pass driving school fueled my confidence, I'm now licensed thanks to them!! I was very unfamiliar with the El Monte area (where I took my test), but I was able to pass with 3 lessons and no additional practice in the area because of how observant they are during the lessons. They are extremely thorough and their business is so organized compared to others I've encountered. The entire team is so nice and friendly. Again, a huge thank you to the S Pass team, I don't think I could've gone with a better option!

    I had to get a whole new license here as my non-California one expired before I could renew it, and…read moreAngie was the absolute best instructor I could've hoped for to help make the whole process easy and smooth, and point out my old bad habits that might trip me up! I passed the test with flying colors - and picked up some better driving habits in general while we were at it! Highly recommend, Angie is the MVP of LA driving tests!

    if I can give 0 stars I would. this was the most horrible, demeanin, unprofessional experience I've…read moreever had in my entire life. I was initially so excited to take my lessons and since they're a driving school I assumed they knew I didn't know how to drive. I got in the car and he asked about identification I told him I didnot have my ID he said it was ok I signed a file w/ my bame on it and I told him I never really drove at busy times like that. he said it was ok. about 1 block away, he began his little insults but I TRIED to not be rude or say anything back I was excited and trying to focus. this old man keeps saying things like "if you were smarter you would get it smart people get it you don't you're gonna take longer can u see? people that see and have good eye sight can drive I didn't know u never drove & over and over and over "if I have to grab the wheel to help you you're not smart" and when he finally had the neeve to ask me "Francine can u hear me when I ask u are you smart you need to answer me not be quiet" oooooh I AND HUS DISGUSTING COMMENTS OF "JUST ARCH UR BACK LIKE USUALLY AND SIT IN HUST LIKE THAT" oooooooh I reminded him he picked me up in east Los Angeles and I spoke to him just like my daddy I cut the lesson short cussied him out i mean I flipped on him after 2 hours of insults screaming name calling and yelling I cut it 15 min short and THEN THE ISSUE STARTED he told me I needed an I'd b4 my next lesson I said ok 2 days later I went to get it I called him when I had it in my hand it's been 2 months and I received a call from a woman telling me she's gonna do it instead then 2 weeks passed and nothing going on 3 months w/ 1 horrible lesson I finally asked for my refund bc I'm a single mom w/ kids I need to learn somewhere else not with this pervert user/ abusive man DO NOT COME HERE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE LIKE ZION DRIVING SCHOOL IN LINCOLN HEIGHTS

I appreciate all the instructors that taught me, they are very professional. August for teaching me about my mistakes. Noha for her motherly love, strict but you can feel she wants you to pass. And most specially to David, who went out of his way to take me to my Driving exam. Appreciate all the staff, Daisy in the reception is very nice too.. Thanks a lot to all of you..

    The instructor who taught my kid was teaching wrong! wow, this instructor has been at this school…read morefor more than a year! DO NOT RECOMENDED!! there are other schools who actually teach genuine method, not made up! when my kid asked the reason for some of the roads rules, well, it turned out that answer was given wasn't in fact the right answer! imperative and absolute "must" that instructors themselves need to learn the rules "first" before they attempt to teach, there was at least 1 or 2 instructors with this company who were very informative about the whole driving things new faces too, but I heard they they have left the company! !! guess they deserved better! and as far as at the cars, they are very old and 9 out of 10, their A/C don't work and breaks down most of the time, specially in the heat we've been having, there are plenty of other school with up to date cars.

    SERIOUSLY DO NOT GO WITH THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!! At first I saw bad comment on Yelp but I ignored it…read moreand soon I regretted I had lessons with this instructor called Zoren and he teaches REALLY BAD!!! He kept saying little gas, more gas, no gas within the same 5 seconds, giving confusing signals, and blaming me adding gas while my foot was not even on the padel... He never actually looked at what ur doing but just arrogantly thinking he knows you the best. When you asked him what mistake you made and how to fix the problem, he never able to teach u the right way. Instead he'll just say, ' just take more lessons and you'll be better.' YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN NOTHING AFTER CLASS... and I really hated him kept saying he will bring me to good places around here, I was like 'I don't even care about the tourist spots I just want to learn how to drive. Who cares if the place is rich or no?' Appreciate him took me around but he's gone too over for real. One more thing is when we were on the street, the speed limit was like 35mph but he kept asking me to drive at 20 something... when I speed to around 30+ he'll start judging. But I knew the DMV is gonna fail you if you drive too slow... the fact that when I was having lessons with another driving school, the instructor told me I was driving too slow on a 35 street with just 27-29 speed but this Zoren always say I can't drive fast... I really got pissed by him because he said like he's the only one who knows how to drive in the entire world, really arrogant. The last lesson I told him I am not taking class with him anymore cause I'll change to another teaching school and he just told me I AM NOT GONNA PASS MY TEST CAUSE I DONT DRIVE WELL the fact turned out I passed my test with only three mistakes proves I drive okay even I start from zero. But the credit doesn't go to this driving school at all

    Could have written a review a decade ago but dunno yelp that time. But Zoren deserves a good…read morereview. Not sure though if he's still there since it's been 10 years since I enrolled here. I enrolled to a different traffic school that year for months and was frustrated because ive been failing my actual driving test. I failed 3 times So my ex bf who is now my hubby enrolled me to a different traffic school nearby his apartment. He said he's one of the best.. Sooooo I met Zoren who was my driving instructor and only taught me for 2 hours before my actual driving test, he's so nice and funny because he's Armenian and knows how to speak a little bit of Tagalog. Anyway, after my session with him, he went with me and drove to Glendale DMV for my actual test, he's a bit popular there because driving examiners knows him. Lol! And I remember the examiner told me i was lucky that Zoren was my instructor. After my test, finally, i passed Thanks to Chase Driving School
