Albert is an excellent instructor! He is thorough and very experienced with the San Francisco DMV. His teaching style is very effective. I passed my test on the first try and felt very well prepared for it.

If you’re a beginner, I strongly advise against taking lessons with him. Despite clearly telling him that I was a complete novice and didn’t yet know how to turn, he insisted I attempt a turn without holding onto the steering wheel, which was highly unsafe and as a result led to a minor crash. Throughout the lesson, his demeanor was far from professional, he frequently belittled me, screamed at me, and made me feel utterly incompetent. Considering the high rate of nearly $100 per hour, the experience was both disappointing and disheartening. Might I also add that I gained nothing from this whole ordeal. Update: I see your response. And no I did not take another instructor, this is the right address ✌️charging $100 an hour is absolutely absurd btw. Not even nurses get paid that much who do u think u are ? Just because I looked young u think u can take advantage ? Ok bye

Albert was amazing! My daughter needed professional assistance in order to pass her driving test! We were crunched for time and Albert made it work with her school schedule. Having Albert assist truly made a difference in her confidence on the road. From the first lesson, my daughter came home and said, “mom, he’s great!’ He even checked in the morning of her test and gave last minute advice. Totally worth it!!

I passed my test today at the first attempt! Albert is a great teacher. Very clear and logical instructions, very meaningful safe driving habit building. I also really like that he calms his tone a lot in the hour leading up to the test to sooth you so you are not too nervous. He gave very helpful tips on routes and let you practice what you are not good at until you are comfortable. If everyone in SF takes his class, we will have much better traffic and safer roads. Thank you Albert! I strongly recommend him to everyone. I was looking elsewhere too but glad I made the right choice!
