Daniel is so patient, kind, and empathetic. I’ve been so anxious to learn how to drive for YEARS but he has helped me so much. I recently just passed my road test and got my license all because of his wisdom! (He also taught 2 of my cousins ^-^)
To Whom It May Concern: I just got my license after putting it off for more than 7 years and having driving anxiety. I went to a different driving school at first and after explaining to them that I haven't been behind the wheel of a vehicle in over 7 years, they took me around a parking lot for like 20 minutes before they sent me out into residential and then out INTO BUSY HONOLULU NEAR ALA MOANA (I learned much later that this was a WILD thing to do, not just because of my lack of experience but how crazy that area really is). I left that driving school not too long after and developed more anxiety about driving. My hands were shaking after two lessons. I had some anxiety to begin with (which is why I put it off for so long), but this was a lot worse. I sucked it up like a couple weeks later, called Daniel and got lessons. I'm glad that there was so much structure and meaning to what was being taught. I don't have a way to practice so my only time was with Daniel and maybe one day a week (if I was lucky) with my parents to practice. My hardship with lessons only came from myself and my anxiety. It was my only worry for the days in between each lesson, and I was worried I was going to cause a problem or my lack of experience or knowledge was going to get us in trouble. Lots of lingering anxiety from that first day with that other instructor of being out on a busy road with the lack of knowledge to handle anything. But somehow getting into the vehicle I knew I was safe and I was okay, and all the worries I had for the entire week were gone for the couple hours I was in that car. After driving more and more with Daniel, I found myself less worried about having to mentally prepare myself each week and soon after my anxiety went away entirely. I can definitely drive confidently, something I didn't think I'd be doing at the start of this year or even like half a year ago. Thank you so much for teaching me Daniel, thank you for getting rid of my anxiety. More people should learn how to drive from him, if more people did I probably wouldn't have had a lot of anxiety to begin with. I can't emphasize enough how AWFUL my driving journey started out but got so much better the moment I started learning from Daniel. Thanks again, Selina
Mr. Daniel did a great job at helping me and my friend learn how to drive! He's very knowledgable and kind. I recommend him for beginners or anyone looking to sharpen their skills.
Daniel is such a great driving instructor! Amazing technique and class structure and a very calm and patient teacher. After my lessons I feel much more confident and better at driving!
Before Daniel's lessons, I never wanted to be behind the wheel due to the unexpected. Once I met Daniel, he gave me tips on making driving safe and fun; after our first couple of lessons, I knew I had chosen the right teacher. His patience and consistent advice on making driving easier made me want to improve my skills with each lesson I completed. During our lessons, I would mess up, as most people do, but Daniel would try to point out the positives instead of lecturing me on why I messed up, which would encourage me to try again and fix the mistake instead of feeling bad for myself. There is so much more to say about how Daniel is one of the best-driving teachers out there; all I can say is that my money was well invested, and being a defensive driver is crucial these days.
