    Rate: - I would have given 2 stars if it weren't for me actually learning a bit of how to drive…read more Quick overview about the driving instructor, Braulio (Leo): Rescheduled my lessons twice, at the last minute. -Did not give me time to continue learning how to make turns in the parking lot because his car needed gas. -Ended all the lessons 10-20 minutes before my time was up. -Ignored my message for my final lesson. -Told me he would be available at my time, but he was not. -Arrived almost 5 minutes late. -Went shopping at a 99¢ store & ordered In-n-Out during my time. -Every lesson he would ask if I already paid although I paid in full at my first lesson. -Did not remember who I was or my name at lessons. -Used his phone while I was driving. Overall, I believe I was taken advantage of because I'm young and he thought I wouldn't complain. I am thankful because this was the only way I could learn how to drive, but at the end of the day I paid $340 for 6 hours and he was very unprofessional. Detailed overview: I found Inter Driving School online and their website advertised 6 hours of lessons for $300. I called the (310) 631-9515 phone number. After speaking to Leo, he told me it was $340 with pick-up and drop-off at my house. I asked about pick-up and drop-off to the school since it's not far from me and I'd rather pay $300 but he didn't give me that option. When I asked about payment, he told me cash ONLY. My first lesson, I got in the car and right before he taught me he said, "You got my money?" On our way, he would get on his phone and I was getting super anxious because it's my first time driving. When I drove to our destination, the beach, he got out and took pictures then he said "Let's talk business." That felt very sketchy but I paid him and he gave me the receipt (photo attached). After that he made me get on the freeway without warning me (mind you this is my first time ever learning how to even use the car functions) and he made me drive home 10 minutes before my time was up. My second lesson, he forgot about it. It was supposed to start at 2:00pm but I texted him and he asked if 4:00pm would be okay. I said sure. He arrived on time and took me to a nearby plaza. This was my first time being taught how to turn. I wasn't doing great but after 10 minutes I finally did one decent turn, he told me he needed to put gas. We went and put gas in. Leo had to control the car a lot because I wasn't given enough time to learn how to make turns plus there was a ton of traffic at this time. Also, I once again drove home 10 minutes before my time was over When scheduling my last lesson, I messaged Leo days ahead asking if he was available and I was ignored. At this point, the week was almost over so I had no lessons so I asked if he was available the following week. I am busy so I gave him my availability because at the first lesson I asked him, "When are you available?" and he told me, "Whenever, I work around your time." He finally agreed to an early Sunday morning lesson. On Sunday, I texted him 40 minutes before the lesson asking for confirmation. He replied by asking to reschedule for 2:00pm, but I was busy after 12:00pm. He did not try to accommodate my availability and tried to schedule me for a night driving lesson until I told him I did not feel comfortable driving in night or morning traffic. At this point I just wanted to get my last lesson over with, so I changed my work schedule so that I could do my lesson. My final lesson, he confirmed 30 minutes ahead but arrived almost 5 minutes late. Additionally, he made me drive to the 99 cent store and he got out to buy stuff then he made me drive to in-n-out. He got out of the car and I wasn't sure if he was just taking a quick break but then after a couple minutes he came back with drinks. I then left the parking space and I thought we were leaving but instead he made me go around the lot and go back to the parking spot then wait for him to get his meal. After that, he made me drive home and I arrived 17-18 minutes before my driving lesson was over. He also told me I should get an additional 6 hours of lessons.

His positive energy made every lesson enjoyable and helped build my daughter's confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to Angel's excellent instruction and guidance, my daughter passed her driving test on her very first attempt! He took the time to explain everything clearly, provided constructive feedback, and genuinely cared about her success. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. If you're looking for someone who is professional, supportive, and truly invested in helping new drivers succeed, I highly recommend Angel. Thank you for helping make this milestone such a positive experience!

Angel is incredibly energetic, animated, and clearly passionate about what he does. He brings such enthusiasm to each lesson that it makes driving not only educational but as my son described it, genuinely fun. As a parent, I feel confident that my son is ready for his driving test thanks to Angel's guidance. My son shared that he felt completely comfortable behind the wheel, and that Angel kept the lessons engaging by talking, encouraging, and staying fully involved throughout. He said driving with Angel never felt stressful--it was enjoyable, and he actually looked forward to each session. Angel helped my teen feel at ease while still instilling the skills and confidence he needs to succeed. He also kept us informed and updated every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving teacher who truly loves what he does and inspires his students.
