I'm a nervous mother with a new-ish driver and decided to finally hand over the reigns to a professional... and happy I did! My daughter came home happy to have learned so much and extremely more confident after her 2-hour lessons with Lenard. She decided to keep practicing with her permit and call for another 2-hour lesson before her driving test. Living in east Oahu costed an extra $20 which was no problem because we're limited on good driving instructors over here! $80/hour with 2-hour min + $20 travel fee. Excellent driving school with prompt replies and reliable instructor. Highly recommend! read more

I should have look at the reviews In yelp before taking the adult program. This is my first time going on yelp to review. Not recommended for beginners. I took the adult driving program with instructor Lenard Wong. While he might be a good driver himself, he is not a good instructor for beginners. I would only recommend him to people who already know how to drive and just need a refresher. For first-time and nervous drivers like me, I highly discourage choosing him. Every time I made a mistake, he would scold, yell, or sigh. This made me incredibly anxious and unable to focus. To make matters worse, he barely explained the rules or how to use the car's mirrors, mechanisms, and other essential functions, nor did he give detailed tips on how to drive well. By the second lesson, he made me drive on the main streets without proper, detailed preparation. Yes I made a lot of mistakes but everyone makes mistake and has different pace. I am trying to learn and that is what I am paying for but with him I am barely learning to drive. If you have zero driving experience, I strongly advise looking for a different driving school or instructor who is patient and thorough. read more

This review is in regard to Leonard. He was VERY unprofessional upon helping my niece. He was yelling at her, he was rude, and he was definitely taking advantage of her. He FELL ASLEEP on the wheel! And took her from Mililani to Kapolei to "feed his horses?!" We definitely called him and demanded a refund! $320 for 2 days just to fall asleep? And when we called him he said he had a "bad day". Then don't go making appointments to help others. My poor 17 year old niece was not at all comfortable during her experience. HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND LEONARD WONG!!! read more

tried wong way 2 different times the first time i had leonard and thought i was the problem because of my lack of experience and was critiqued heavily the second lesson its like he completely forgot what we worked on and i just thought its okay maybe i can just sharpen what i already know. tried again a couple weeks ago in hope for a different instructor but got the same guy and i told him im okay with my turns and just wanted to work on parallel parking. He proceeded to ask where i learned from and i said my friend and he told me that they didnt know what they were doing even though they have been driving for 6 years. and i had my road test and on the way he FELL ASLEEP but i wasnt gonna let that stop me. when we got there he wanted to get some practice in so we drove the kapolei route and when driving pass a cross walk i slowed down which he asked me why i did so, i couldnt give an answer at the time i just thought its was right and he said there was no reason to and low and behold that was something i got marked down for because i was supposed to slow down incase pedestrians wanted to walk. do not recommend if you guys get leonard im not sure about any other intructor apart of this company i have not been introduced to anyone new. read more

If you get Lenard, cancel. Based on my brother's and other reviewers' experiences, I do believe Matthew and Stephen Wong are excellent instructors. Lenard is clearly an experienced and strong driver, but his demeanor was very unpleasant and unfriendly. I don't need my instructor to be my best friend, but I do think they should at least be somewhat supportive, and like they genuinely want to help you get better. Definitely didn't get that vibe here. I highly recommend saving your money: I cancelled after lesson 1 and had a much more pleasant time practicing with others. I'd advise you follow my lead! read more

After posting my thoughts on Yelp and you have message me directly to " Please remove this review". Because you know what you did Wong/Wrong. Stop trying to defend yourself/business. Obviously, you do live up to your name Wong (wrong) way academy. LOL. Kids don't lie and I was there personally. 1) Meeting students was at a park in Waipio by Ressurection of the lord church. 2) You did have more then one student during your driving lessons. (My child had explained) You know kids don't lie. 3) Description of payments are in black in white. Would you like me to post of evidence. Which I still have. 4) Conversation on how you talk to your students. Like an example, " I BEND BACKWARDS". Of course you have to, if you don't like what you do, then by all means go bend your backwards to someone else. Obviously, from what I have seen in your reviews, you obviously had to make a change due to what I have wrote in the past. Glad you had made changes and I hope you did because you were bad news to begin with. We can go on and on. And with proof of evidence what was said (black and white) but I won't go there. We can if you want to. Karenocare read more

Wong Way Driving Academy - Driving Schools Near Me

This is a review for Adult driving lessons with Lenard. He is not a bad person but he is unfortunately not a good teacher. Despite all the bad reviews about him I wanted to give him a chance. There might be a chance that people are review bombing him and maybe people are "Wong" about him. Well the people are right. Now I don't usually care when people yell at me or critique me when I'm trying to learn something. But there's a difference between yelling at someone to get a valuable point across and yelling out of frustration. This instructor is the latter. He is not a patient person and needlessly puts stress on people he is teaching. I have anxiety and panic attacks and when I told him that sometimes I get scared around cars he tells me to just deal with it. If you do have anxiety I highly suggest to not take an instructor who can't understand the debilitating effects of anxiety. And his lack of patience highly exasperate my stress. He does not positively reinforce good driving methods, behaviors, and techniques. During lesson I didn't know if I was doing something right. And everything I did felt wrong. The only conversation was him yelling at me when I did sonething wrong. I had to constantly ask him if this is right and he just sighs and mumbles. If you don't give positive feedback, how are you going to build a driver's confidence when they are driving? Lastly I decided to go to other driving instructors and see if I was a bad driver or not . And oh my what a difference! Lenard teaches a slightly unconventional and orthodox way of driving and other driving instructors told me to forget everything he taught me because it's an outdated and inflexible way of teaching. Many instructors were baffled at how I was driving with what he taught me. You can imagine how much of a setback this was because I practiced everything Lenard taught me and it was already in my muscle memory. I had to spend weeks forgetting what he "taught" me and build confidence driving. Again Lenard isn't a malicious person who is intentionally trying to bring you down. But it's arguably worse if he brings you down unintentionally. He can be professional and I do wish him the best. But he himself seem to not learn from all the feedbacks and criticism after all these years. He is just not good at teaching. As a consumer why settle for him when there are many excellent instructors out there that can give you a run for your money? read more

I do not recommend taking driving lessons with Lenard. I took 2 classes with him in July and November 2021. I'm an adult with little to no driving experience and I communicated that to Lenard ahead of our first class. Yet for some reason, he expected me to know more than I did. In both of our classes, Lenard would be overly aggressive, yell and not offer constructive criticism when I made mistakes. He didn't seem self-aware that his irrational outbursts to my errors were distracting. I don't get the sense he has intentions to help new drivers build a sense of confidence and safety. Anytime I did something wrong, he would put his hand on his forehead and sigh loudly. There was one instance when I slowed down before making a right turn because a car across the way was making a left turn onto the same road I was heading. Lenard started yelling at me, asking why I'm slowing down and saying it's my right of way. I didn't know that, but that wasn't the right way to teach me in that moment. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and started to tear up. He didn't even coach me on how I could have done that better and just sent me a PDF after class. I had high hopes for these classes based on all the strong reviews here, but unfortunately did not get paired up with a good instructor. read more

Honestly, from seeing all the great reviews I went to spend the extra money to have lessons from Wong Way Driving Academy. I paid for four lessons and rented the car for my drivers test. In total, I spent about $760 or more to learn how to drive on Oahu. I mentioned to my instructor that I came from a smaller island and I didn't know how to drive in the "city". Despite that, he would make (as other Yelpers have mentioned) aggressive outbursts and rude comments. It was discouraging to keep taking lessons but I thought that I might as well stick through it. My driving instructor also FELL ASLEEP while I was driving. I drove from Ala Moana area through Kalihi to the point where I noticed the monorail. I realized he was asleep and only reason I noticed that he was asleep was because I had to ask for directions back (since I'm not from here). He would also pressure me to make turns faster and yell at me for small things like double checking my left side. Crazy to think that I spent $140 to get yelled at for double checking my left while taking a right turn. I would say something like "It's just a habit for me to look down the lane when I'm making a turn." My instructor would reply aggressively asking why I would have to do that when I have the green light. I've almost been hit from someone running a red light with my previous instructor on a different island so I KNOW how important it is to double check the lanes (luckily my instructor back home was reactive and even honked at the person running the red light for me). My instructor back then didn't even get mad at me for that. In fact, he told me how it was the other persons fault and how it's important to double check for people running red lights. THAT'S how an instructor should teach their students. Although I hated driving with him, I give two stars because he was accommodating with my schedule. I still can't lie about how glad I was to have cancelled one of my appointments because I got constantly beaten down with snarky remarks. As a young adult, $760 is a lot to spend on driving lessons. I live on Oahu alone so I regret spending as much as I did here. My advice for any adult drivers looking to learn how to drive in Oahu is to find a friend to learn with instead. It really isn't worth it to spend over half a grand to get yelled at. Before you say, "It can't be that bad," check the reviews. In simplest terms, I felt finessed after reading all of the positive reviews. I don't think that I've ever felt more discouraged to drive but I guess that some people aren't meant to be teachers. read more

If you're assigned Lenard as your instructor, make sure you ask to switch, or find a new school. He literally wants his students to fail the driving exam and acts as if you've personally offended him by not knowing how to drive. He is rude, egotistical, unhelpful, snappy and impatient. He did not prepare me for my driving test at all and even insisted he's a "great instructor" after I failed. He will make you feel incompetent and uncomfortable while you are driving with his rude remarks and nonverbal aggression. Don't waste your time and money, go find another driving instructor unless you want to be belittled by someone who enjoys taking out their anger on new drivers. read more

Can't recommend Wong Way enough! The class was easy to get into and Mr. Steven Wong worked with us to get our son's BTW hours completed before we left the island. Mr. Wong was patient, knowledgeable, and took our son to the driving course prior to his driving test. Our son passed on his first try! You can't go wrong with Wong Way! read more

Bad experience with Lenard. He is forgetful and aggressive. He does not teach, and only yells at you. This does not foster a good environment for learning. What a waste of my money. Sad to say, because I had a great experience with Steven Wong years ago. read more

Thanks to Lenard Wong, my son passed his road test on the first try! Lenard helped my young adult learn the rules of the road, as well as the tricks for passing the driving portion of the exam. While we live in Aiea, we registered to take the test in Waianae. Lenard took my son to the Waianae test location to familiarize him with the area and what to expect. He also had a helpful 4 page guide which further prepared him for test day - and reduced our anxiety! Great job, Lenard! read more

Thanks Matt! Trent got his license on the first try! Your help doing the course help build up his confidence. Learning from such a nice and patient guy like Matt was another added plus! read more

Wong Way Driving Academy - Thanks Wong Way Academy! Your practice with Trent on the course. Helped him passed his 1st try at the road test! - Driving Schools Near Me

Wong Way Driving was great. My son did the classroom and BTW driving. Mr Wong had excellent communication with my son(good coaching while driving) and myself scheduling the BTW sessions. My son passed on his first try at Koolau DMV. :) Advice for other parents, drive with your child at least 20-30 hours before the BTW session. It will make the BTW session much more effective. Good luck! read more

I started off with A One Driving School because they had a lot of good reviews, but quickly wondered if the reviews were authentic (I had a terrible experience) and switched to Wong Way. Benjamin at Wong Way was a life saver. He was so nice and helpful in all of our driving sessions (I believe I took about 5 sessions). On the day of my test, my CAR that I have been practicing in broke down (such luck!) and I was in a panic because I cannot reschedule the test date as I was leaving town and had a deadline in which I needed to get my license by. I called Benjamin while he was teaching another student, and he came straight to my rescue! I passed the test and now am a happy and safe licensed driver. Highly recommend Benjamin for anyone who is looking to learn and to pass. read more

I tried a different driving academy for my daughter. It was very minimal and she failed over and over (still hasn't gotten her license) Decided to send my son to Wong Way, welp it was the right way!!! My son passed his first try! Wong Way taught my son to be a diligent cautious driver. I'm very happy. read more

Wong Way Driving Academy - Passed his first try. He turned 16 Oct 29, 2017. Only 3 months ago - Driving Schools Near Me

See all

I chose this Driving Academy for two reasons: 1. the great reviews; and 2. the great pun. Their response time after I put in an inquiry was quick and to the point, which I appreciated. As an adult driver, I was paired with Lenard Wong. Lenard was great at keeping me calm, instilling confidence and teaching me all the rules of the road (& parking lot). Under his instruction, I passed the first time! Lenard and the Wong Way offer you an insight into exactly what you need to pass your test. If you need help getting back on track with driving, or need to brush up on a specific skill, go the Wong Way! You won't be disappointed. read more

Very nice instructors. My son passed the class and passed his road test today on the first try. The instructor takes them and lets them practice the actual coarse they will drive. read more

Wished I had read the latest reviews before. And based on the reviews about Lenard, I found out the hard way that it is what they say about him. Wished he could be a bit more patient, more cool-headed and not this aggressive twat. Is it acceptable if you are the student and the instructor is saying "Shit" on you when you make a mistake and did not follow his instructions to a T? Sure, we make mistakes, but you don't have to be yelling and getting angry at them. Still, 2 stars as I still learn something new from him, I just don't like the attitude and demeanor instructing his students behind the wheel, read more

My son started driving a little more on the roads this past summer. It took 3 of us to teach him all we knew how to drive. We thought to put him in a driving session/lesson to see what a professional driver instructor could do to help sharpen his driving skills. I sent a Direct Message through Instagram and I received a quick reply! We were connected with Lenard and scheduled his first session with him. He met us in Wahiawa and they drove around for an hour. After their session, Lenard said that Noah did well, and that he didn't need any more lessons...just that he needed to drive much more to get used to being on the roads and freeway. I did notice that his driving skills improved! He took his Driver's Road test in Wahiawa and passed first try! read more

Big Mahalo to Wong Way Driving Academy! My 16-year old daughter passed her road test on the first try! She received a perfect 0 points during the road test. Thanks to Mr. Steven Wong who offered many helpful road test tips. Mr. Wong is a very calm and patient instructor who came highly recommended. As a resident of Honolulu, I was apprehensive to take my daughter on her first drive on H-1 which is fast paced with difficult highway entrances. Mr. Wong confidently took my daughter on busy H-1 to give her more confidence driving on the highway. As a parent, I am grateful to Wong Way Driving Academy for teaching safe driving. Mr. Wong is truly the #1 expert on driving! read more

Boomers like Lenard are the worse. All of the criticisms on yelp of him are legit. Imagine having a an impotent old man taking out his frustrations of being what he is and being a passive aggressive dork on you for being an inexperienced (the whole point for paying for this faka was to gain it) driver. Appreciate what I learned but I can't sit next or talk to people with this obviously passive aggressiveness that comes from his own personal and physical problems. (This review was for summer of last year btw) read more

Not everyone is cut out to give driving instructions .... I am one of those people :) Thank goodness for me I found Steve ... he is such a skilled, nice and funny guy ! He came to the house and we had him take the niece for 4 one hour & a half lessons ( in his car) ... he is literally a "driving whisperer" .... she is driving & I no longer fear for my life :) Priceless :') read more

I sent my daughter on her very first 2 hour driving lesson with Lenard Wong. She had a very terrible experience. We all thought that the purpose of a driving school was to teach them how to drive and not expect a person to already know how to drive. When she came home and told us that Lenard Wong made her feel incompetent while she tried to drive while he made his harsh comments. A waste of $120 for us. Tried to call and speak directly to the owner of Wong Way Driving School and no answer and no call back. read more

My husband and I had no time to teach our 18-year-old how to drive, so I did the super fun research on Yelp and found good reviews for Wong Way Driving Academy. I emailed them one night and in a couple of hours I received an email saying that I will be contacted in the morning and sure enough, I received a lengthy text with all the available dates they had for the next two weeks. The price they quoted was higher than the other places that I contacted, but 5 stars on Yelp has never failed me, so I took the plunge and scheduled 5 driving sessions with Wong Way. After I booked the dates, I decided to just scroll through the comments. I don't know why I didn't look at it BEFORE I booked the lessons for him, but I'll just blame it on the busy holiday season. I found out that he would be having lessons with Lenard. Imagine my disdain when I read the negative reviews about him. Well, I'm here to say that Lenard was (is) AWESOME. My usually cynical son thought he was great. And I'm happy to announce that he got his driver's license today on his first try! I would text Lenard, but I lost his number when I updated my phone, but Lenard, if you're reading this. THANK YOU so much for being such a good instructor and he went into his road-test with confidence and got his license on his first try! I appreciate your flexibility with the couple of lessons we had to reschedule. You are awesome, your company is awesome and I would recommend you to any of our friends and family. BTW, my son took the road test at Koolau and did great. read more

Long, long time ago, I was a poor college student who had no hopes of driving. I was traumatized from my previous driving instructor (more on that the end of this post), before I found this instructor. I was so lucky to find this instructor. He's super cool, cracks jokes, and teaches you easy methods that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Easy parallel parking? Check. Easily teach you ways to remember the safety rules of the road? Check. Drive you to the DMV, make sure you pass your test, and gives you a high five when you pass? Check. This is a great school and I will always remember what they did for me. ***** Who was the terrible driving school? A One Driving School. See my review for that here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/a-one-driving-school-honolulu?hrid=v0zJusp8Jb6LbhgudnswZA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) read more

I have a driving lesson with Lenard, I don't recommend him as your driving instructor. He was so impatient & not giving constructive criticism when you did something wrong. And at the very beginning, he doest even introduce himself. I greeted him in a positive manner, and he just look and greets in cold. And for the 2hrs I drive with him, he only teaches how to park near the curb, not even a parallel park. The rest he let me just drive. The whole driving was so awkward and silent. He doesn't give any tips or advices about driving. He ask me where I'm gonna take my road test, and I ask him what's the best location to take the road test, he just sarcastically laughs and didn't say anything about my concern. And the worst part, he SLEEPS. He just let me drive straight so he could sleep. And what I know is you supposed to know your student if she/he knows the place, familiar or new to them. He didn't get to ask me if I'm new here or how long I've been here. He expects me that I already know this place. I think he just takes advantage of me because I'm not really vocal to him and I'm a young woman. I just do what he says. I just let it go because he is old, but if you think you're too old to teach, just stop/retire, you're giving urself a hard time and the students because if your behavior towards your student. And the money we spent to learn is are hard-earned money. :)) read more

First I'd like to point out that the driving school (classroom instruction for under 18 drivers) is different from the driving lessons, even though it is all under one company. Most of the rave reviews here are for the driving school. I will be reviewing the adult driving lesson, specifically taught by Lenard Wong.  I signed up for the adult lessons and was assigned Lenard as my instructor. Before my first lesson I had maybe driven for a total of 4 hours, so I was pretty new to driving. Although Lenard was aware of this, he scolded me every time I made a mistake. He would frequently sigh and give me attitude throughout the lesson. He was also the first one to bring me onto the freeway, during which I saw him not paying attention to my driving and looking on his phone. I had a total of 6 lessons with him and I left every time feeling less confident in my driving. I later had a session with another instructor who was much calmer, more instructive, and less abusive than Lenard. read more

If Leonard Wong is your instructor immediately switch. He will refuse to teach or answer any questions. He expects you to already know everything about driving and if you're not already perfect he will be rude, sarcastic, and acts like a petty little teenager. Seems to feed his ego to set his students up for failure. Never take a lesson with him as it will be a complete waste of time and he will just use the opportunity to yell and offer absolutely 0 help in learning to drive. read more

Don't recommend having Lenard as an instructor. I'm a first time driver. He has so much attitude. Very sassy comments. He's a perfect fit 10/10 if you enjoy arguing read more

My daughter Laci, had a great experience with Matt! He's funny, knowledgeable & easy to get along with. Thank you Matt for having patience with Laci, she always comes back laughing & a lot more confident in driving. She passed on her first try!! Mahalo again to Wong Way Academy!!! read more

March 10, 2023 I took a driving lesson with Lenard, and I implore that you consider looking for another instructor unless you enjoy aggressive remarks and nonverbal gestures that indicates his frustration if you are struggling to be more comfortable operating a vehicle and applying your understanding of the rules of the road on the actual road. Be ready for explicit indications of irritability if you make mistakes, a constant need to repeat the same phrase of action despite you attempting to perform what he asks of and snarky remarks when you ask him a question regarding to the rules of the road for clarification. Prior to me driving his vehicle for the lesson, he did an initial survey to comprehend how much experience I have with driving before my scheduled road test, and I explained to him promptly about the areas that I need the most work on. I took the minimum amount of behind the wheel hours that the business requires adults to pursue. His general comments of the road test were insightful as he highlights how the examiners will score the driver based on a point system that gets reduced if mistakes or failures occur during the session. I will acknowledge that he has helped me in areas of parallel parking and gave me a better understanding of what areas I need to work on if I hope to pass my road test, but in my own opinion, his demeanor outweighs the constructive areas of criticism and comes off as condescending, as if he expects someone paying for these lessons to know whole-heartedly the traffic rule and law as if we were textbooks ready to be referenced on demand. It is in this area where I find that taking a lesson with Lenard from this organization is of a paradox: How can a company such as this one - which promotes safe and defensive driving - retain an instructor that has questionable methods of teaching that instead further diminishes the confidence level of a client who may need more assistance for their road test or familiarity operating a vehicle? Before you pursue an adult behind the wheel lesson with Lenard, please consider reading the reviews of him on this platform and make an informed decision with the information that is written by those who have had near similar experiences to mine. I am sure Lenard's method of instruction is not ill-intentioned, but I do sense that his sense of navigation for instructing students is authoritative, sandwiched with small complements to lay out the terrain of encouragement. At the end of the lesson, I drove myself home from Kapolei and left the vehicle feeling ashamed and belittled rather than encouraged and humbled to understand the plans I need to work on if I want to pass my road test. What disgusted me from this experience was his racially ambiguous comment about Native Hawaiians as I was heading home, making a statement that once I obtain my license, I can "speed like the rest of them". This places a bad taste in my mouth as it demonstrates how comfortable he is to talk about groups of people with prejudice. Personally, I would not schedule another lesson with the instructor and my review is in no attempt to defame or tarnish the business he represents, for many of the youth enrolled in this academy have been successful in their lessons both in class and behind the wheel from other instructors and their reputability producing great results. The furthest we went was to Kapolei. In terms of scheduling, communication needs more improvement as I have experienced delays in responses from him. My initial lesson was cancelled because I was sick and told him that I would reach out as soon as possible when things also calm down for me as I have other responsibilities I must cater to. Thus, I do not appreciate being yelled at or feeling insignificant when I am doing my best to learn from a person who claims to be a professional with their x years of experience in this line of work. There are better options out there, and unfortunately this is a sunk cost. I hope this helps others for reference. read more

I scheduled my 16 year old daughter to do the behind the wheel program with them, since she couldn't take that portion of her Driver's Ed at her school. They were absolutely fantastic with making her feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. Matt was flexible with scheduling her driving times to meet our needs. The cherry on top is that our daughter passed her driving test on her first try. Without a doubt I highly recommend Wong Way driving! read more

Had the best experience with Wong Way Driving Academy ! Even with COVID they were able to meet our needs by offering online classes. My sons instructor Matthew was very knowledgeable and made the experience very comfortable for my son. I'm thankful all of the behind the wheel was done near the DMV where my son tested, this was very helpful! Lastly, communication throughout the process was always in a timely matter and informative! read more

After completing Driver's Ed classes at Hawaii Baptist Academy. Daughter had a scheduled appointment for behind the wheel lessons. Apparently no one showed up or called. When contacting WWDA they said it was scheduled on a wrong website. My daughter was told that they would contact her the next day. Never heard from them since. read more

Steve Wong and the Wong Way Driving Academy gets 5 Stars from me. Not Just 5 Stars... BUT FIVE GOLDEN Stars ! Last September my daughter had a brief window of time, in between school schedules, where we could focus on her driving. I had started her out driving, first in a parking lot and then on the local side streets. To be honest, I didn't think she was the most skilled or confident driver and she sometimes made me pretty nervous. Clearly time for a professional instructor to take her to the next level and get her ready for the road test. So I emailed several driving schools and Steve Wong responded and we set up a time for an evaluation sort of lesson. Flexibility: He worked with us on scheduling and was even willing to come over to Kaneohe. Email seemed to work out well for both of us. I think this allows him to work out a plan for efficient use of his time and ours. Plus you don't have to play phone tag. He can't answer the phone instantly anyway as he is booked with classes and road instruction during most of the day. Four short lessons later he pronounced her ready for the road test. Sure enough she had improved greatly and passed the road test after failing once. She made a stupid mistake because she was nervous. But on the retake road test she passed with confidence. Proven Results: My daughter was a much better driver after just a couple of lessons with Steve Wong. He spent the time during the driving practice sessions actively teaching her the skills she needed to pass the road test. My daughter was happy to have passed the road test but I was even happier with the results. read more

Never write review on Yelp coz it's annoying. But Steve, yes, I have so much to say! If you are as awful as me at the starting point, call Steve for help! He makes driving learnable! If you are much better than me at the beginning, call Steve for guaranteeing your road test result. All the insider tips and experiences for each road test location! Before taking Steve's class, I was one of those Asian girls never thinking about driving in the first 20 sth years of my life; last time, I was driving a golf cart into a river after bumping in several trees; my mom said if I could drive, she could fly; Certainly I thought driving was the mission of impossible as an girl with ridiculous spatial sense, dreamy and unreasonable judgement, and super slow reaction. --Nothing exaggerating! Yes, Steve took this mission impossible! What amazed me was driving could be learnt if sb is a great teacher with huge patience and great experiences with different ppl! He knows when to let you make mistakes and learn and when not to (which never happens when I drive with others!) Bonus point: humorous(lots of laughter!!! super positive energy!!!), innovative(icy water training), and generous. Da perfect driving teacher if you need one. Wonderful teacher with expertise. Steve turned me from a nightmare into a real dream. Yes, I got my licence from the first try in dillingham. My mom is ready to fly. read more

Need A good driving school to teach my wife how to parallel park and to take her road test in. Read all the good reviews on Wong Way Driving School so decided to call. Voice mail asks potential customers to leave message or text would be better. I did both waited over 3 hours still no response back or text? I run a family business here on Oahu we always answer voice mails- texts and email inquiries. I think it's rude and bad business to ignore potential clients! So I give 1 Star for not giving common courtesy call in return.... read more
