Absolutely had the best instructor for my daughter. Nat is the best she is strict and i like that with the driving rules but at the same time she makes it a fun lesson . She made my daughter feel so comfortable and confident. She wanted us to keep her informed when ella took her driving test so she could congratulate her when she passed. I Absolutely recommend her as an instructor she is a blessing.

I had such a phenomenal experience with my instructor Nat!! It was my first lesson and I was so nervous but from the second I got in the car she was super friendly and outgoing; it made me feel so much more relaxed and comfortable to ask questions which is so so important!! I started the lesson with my biggest worry to be staying in my lane, and by the end of it I drove smoothly on the freeway. Thank you so so much Nat 🥹 I passed first try!

This is a good driving school. Alfred (2nd instructor) is the best driving instructor in town! ..very patient and knows how to deal with me as a first time driver. I passed the DMV driving test for first take only 🙌. Also, I admired how they deal the issue with my first instructor professionally. I will recommend them to others.

Such a great service. I took two sessions, my first session with Oscar, and second session with Rocky, and I learned so much! Finally got the confidence to take my behind-the-wheel test and did a great job on it. Finally got my license and feel so motivated to achieve more goals in life. Thank you to everyone from the Southbay Driving school, will definitely refer friends and family members to this school ❤️

Alfred was an awesome instructor! We went over the DMV routes and everything I needed to know about my upcoming drivers test. I am very confident now after we practiced. He was awesome to talk to and gave great advice. I highly reccomend for anybody who is not a confident driver, these lessons will definitely help you refine your driving skill.
