If you’re a first time driver and are looking for a school to begin this journey, PLEASEEEEE do not look or go anywhere else!!! For context, I started out with another school and purchased a package consisting of 10 lessons and 2 road tests (plus add on lessons), but failed TWICE, inheriting driving insecurities and anxiety in the end. If you’ve failed the road test, and have no clear understanding what causes the mistakes, but feel like something is off, it’s extremely frustrating. With that preface aside, I cannot RAVE enough about Mr. Yang’s Driving School. The difference was night and day! My only regret was that I didn’t start with them to begin with. Kenny was my instructor, and he is Godsend! He diagnosed the mistakes caused by bad habits never corrected before with a weak fundamental, i.e., understanding the types of turns, how much to turn the wheel, and patterns. How I was allowed to take the road test twice by the previous school remains a mystery. After the first assessment lesson, he helped me pick out the right package. I was just gonna buy the one with the most lessons in it in my desperation; talk about integrity when doing business. With the Sensible New Driver package, we focused on the weaknesses and break bad habits to prepare me for the road test, only 5 lessons later. He is professional, verrryyyy patient (breaking bad habits is hard folks), and kind, while also meticulous about the details. Our sessions are relaxed and fun, but also felt like state-of-the-art drill exercises, dealing with real-life scenarios. The explanations he gave were straight forward, clear, and effective. I saw a difference in my driving and the consistency in the results. Not only does he prepare you to be a safe driver, but also a knowledgeable driver; knowing why you do the things you do and execute the right techniques! He knows what they’re looking for, the level of expectations on the exam, and makes sure that you are well prepared. I took the road test again after 5 lessons and passed! Kenny has opened up a whole new side to driving and I’m so grateful to have found this school! I’ll be continuing with more classes with them in the near future. I’m definitely getting my confidence back on this journey, thanks to Mr. Yan
