Thank you so much George, you've taught me so very much while I attended your driving school. What I've learned here was priceless, all the skills I will need for my future. I really appreciate your guy's services! George is the man, please do yourself a favor and go here you won't regret it.

My son took classes with one of the instructors named Jason. Jason was so kind and knew how to work with teens. My son was nervous about his driving test but Jason made him feel very comfortable. My son passed his driving test in his first try. Jason is an excellent instruction and I would highly recommend him. Behind the Wheel school's staff is very caring and professional.

The administrative staff are professional, prompt and very pleasant on the phone - a great first impression. My daughter took lessons with BTW Driving School with several different instructors- all were professional and really helped her gain comfort and confidence while driving. It was the perfect compliment to learning to driving with me haha! She passed her test on the first try. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend this business.

Excellent Instructors -The instructors recognized our son's driving ability and tailored their instruction to him so that he got the most out of his behind the wheel training sessions. Excellent Staff -The staff was so helpful. Our son is a football player and they were so helpful in accommodating his practice schedule when it conflicted with the classroom instruction.

He was able to complete all his required time in the classroom because of the staff's ability to see him as a valued customer and student athlete. Excellent Business -Our experience was wonderful. We have shared our experience with other parents and sports families. I think it's nice to know that there is a business that values their students and their commitments as much as they do.

I hadn't driven in years and needed a refresh. I'm happy to have chosen chose Behind the Wheel as my teachers. I took 20 hours, saw two instructors (Mario and Tracy), and had a DMV appointment session with Ryan. The result was I passed first time and feel like a better more confident driver. So overall a great experience, by good folks that supplements well an initiative to learn to drive (11/16/2018).

I've had two separate experiences with Behind the Wheel Driving School. First we hired them for my niece after she received her permit and they picked her up, did the two hours of driving and brought her home. After 10 hours of lessons, we hired them to take her to the DMV for the test. She passed! Now its my son's turn. Great school, great staff!

BTW Driving School is beyond excellent! I had no driving experience, when I started driving with them. Thanks to my instructor Ruben I was able to pass the driving test from the first attempt. The Customer Service is great. They are very professional and open to accommodate your schedule. I had a very short notice for my Drive Test day and Ryan (the owner) helped me to schedule everything.

So I'm an adult learner. At age 44 I finally decided to get my license since Los Angeles isn't great for public transit. (I certainly can and will use it for things other than driving in LA but that was one of the biggest factors). I purchased a package of lessons after passing my temporary license and began to learn my way around driving in Los Angeles.

Although I'm sure it's no scarier for a student/teenage driver, learning at this age certain comes with it's own fears and challenges. Ryan and his team of instructors were patient, offered excellent and calm advice as I drove around. I had purchased 8 x 2 hour lessons but probably could have done with half that. It may have cost a bit for those lessons but it's priceless for me to finally have my license and to get it after my first attempt. Ryan, in particular, was my main instructor and his style was completely relaxing for someone like me who has gone half a life with low confidence and other fears. His style definitely put me at ease and gave me the confidence to pass. Well worth the money and time!

Both of my daughters got their driving lessons at Behind the Wheel, and they both had very good experiences. Each girl had a couple of different driving instructors, and all of them were very nice, patient, and encouraging. Their friendly and relaxed attitudes helped make what could be a scary experience much more pleasant than expected. Both girls accomplished much more during their driving lessons, even the first lessons, than I would have thought possible.

The schedulers were very flexible with scheduling convenient lesson times, and the instructors almost always showed up on time. I would definitely recommend this school to others (as I already have done), and will probably use them in the future if we still are in the neighborhood when my son starts driving.
