Fantastic experience: Albert was quick, concise, and extremely patient in teaching me. More importantly, he made me feel comfortable with driving. Would absolutely recommend for beginners like myself. (Albert if you're reading this: Thank you again for helping me get a perfect score lol)

Fantastic experience: Best teacher ever and super nice !! Got my drivers licence very fast and on the first try !

Denise Lee 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is an outstanding driving instructor - I was able to pass the driving test confidently on the first try after only a few lessons with him. Previously I had tried other instructors but I did not feel comfortable driving and lacked skills after more than two lessons with them. In contrast, Albert explains everything very clearly and in a way such that it's easy to remember the road rules and you'll feel confident on what to do in different driving situations. His lesson plans are also very thoughtful and will help you cover a wide range of scenarios that you'll encounter in the test and also in everyday driving, so you can build a great foundation for your driving skills. He's patient, encouraging and tailors his approach to every student. Highly recommend taking lessons with him!

Fantastic experience: Great experience — Albert is very strategic, generous with his time, and helped me pass the San Francisco dmv test only after four sessions!

Lauren Turetsky 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: My son was so happy to pass his driving test on his first attempt! Albert was fantastic and helped him gain the confidence he needs to be safe and comfortable with both city and highway driving. Albert is very patient and professional. He did not try to upsell me and walked us through all of the necessary steps to help us understand the process and requirements. I'm so glad we found Albert on Yelp and highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Albert helped me finish up some lessons to get me prepared for the road test. He even showed up early so I can get extra time to help me the day for my test. Would definitely recommend!

Robert Jin 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I got recommended Albert by a friend who had a great experience. Albert is a great teacher and taught me all the basics and little I needed to know to pass the test and drive safely.

Yana Goldburt 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is a great instructor! On the first day, he made me feel really comfortable behind the wheel. We practiced things like changing lanes and turning in residential areas, which were pretty calm with not much traffic. On the second day, we did the DMV route, which helped me get used to the test area. Overall, Albert is an awesome teacher who really helped me feel confident driving.

Silas Lee-McNamee 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: By far the best driving instructor experience I’ve ever had! Albert was extremely friendly and took me through every possible route of the driving test, as well as tips and tricks for the most challenging areas. I will recommend Albert to anyone in the future looking to take a driving test in the Bay Area.

Elizabeth Wentura 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had several great driving lessons & instructions with Albert Lee. After failing the DVT test once, Albert helped me thru every step of the DMV process. I passed the drive test after taking several lessons and if necessary would call Albert again. He's the best, kind and patient.

Patty Chen 9 months ago

Negative experience: 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.

Sorry u had such a bad experience with another instructor!! But i think U wrote the review for the wrong instructor here? Please kindly remove this review! I don't think I had ever taught u? I'm not sure how they would have u turn without holding onto the steering wheel?! Telepathically? I always show my beginner students how to turn before going on the road! And I never had an accident with any students from practicing turning!!

Carla Beatriz Bayona 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to have passed my driving test first time after taking lessons with Albert. From day one, he made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and ensured I had a solid understanding of both the theory and practical aspects of driving. Albert has a patient teaching style, which really helped me overcome my initial nerves. He provided clear instructions and tailored each lesson to address areas I needed to work on. Whether it was maneuvering tricky junctions, parallel parking, or navigating busy streets, Albert gave me the confidence I needed to handle any situation on the road. The lessons were always well-structured, with a perfect balance of practice and feedback. I appreciated how he focused on helping me develop safe, confident driving habits. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to learn to drive!

Vincent Martini 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is both patient and professional, providing a great experience in his lessons. He is familiar with the standard routes the SF DMV uses for their driving tests and provided great direction on what to do and what to look out for when taking the test. After just a couple of sessions with Albert, I was able to pass the driving test on my first try, confidently and comfortably.

Izabela Witoszko 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is an excellent and patient instructor, and got me from almost no driving to passing a test after only 5 lessons. Highly recommend. Great prices too

Peter Huey 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had passed my written exam, and I was a first-time driver as I chose Albert as my driving instructor. For a first time driver taking his lessons, he explains the rules and concepts of driving very well, and is very patient as well, which helped me get rid of my nerves for driving. By the fourth lesson, he felt that I was ready to take the behind-the-wheel test, and even helped me signed up for the test. Though, I took a couple of extra lessons just to get ready for the test. His testing package includes an hour-and-a-half of driving lesson around the dmv, and the usage of his car. During the test day, I was extremely nervous. Albert had words of encouragement which helped me calm down before the test. Eventually, even though I made a few mistakes on the test, I still passed. Overall, my experience with Albert was great. If I knew someone who needed a driving instructor, I would definitely recommend Albert to them.

Thomas Crook 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Albert’s of Standard Driving School in San Francisco, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As a California DMV Certified Driving Instructor, Albert provided me with invaluable guidance, especially since I had no classroom instruction prior to my lessons. As an older driver, I was looking for a refresher to prepare for my California road test, and Albert was the perfect choice. Albert's teaching style is exceptional. He was incredibly patient and took the time to thoroughly explain the rules of the road, ensuring I felt confident and prepared. He guided me through essential driving tasks that are crucial for becoming a safe and responsible driver. I was quite nervous about the road test, but Albert's positive encouragement and detailed instruction made all the difference. Thanks to his support, I successfully passed the test with excellence! If you or someone you know needs a refresher course, a comprehensive driving program, or driver's ed for teenagers, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Albert. He truly is the best in the business!

Firas Farah 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm an out-of-country driver and Albert offered me 90 mins before the exam + his car/insurance for the exam. In the 90 mins, he prepared me really well and the exam was easy. His price was great. He's very kind and fun to talk to. I would very highly recommend him.

Eva Lewis-Katz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: He is the best driving instructor. Very calm and patient. He doesn’t yell and made me feel safe. He doesn’t get mad at mistakes but instead takes the time to use them as learning opportunities. I passed with a perfect score because of him!

R Addison 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I hired Albert to teach my 17 YO great-nephew how to drive. He passed the written and driving test the very first time! Albert was patient, informative and taught him what he needed to know. 5 Stars and will recommend and use you again when the siblings are ready to learn! Thank you Albert.

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my behind-the-wheel driving test, and I have to give a huge thanks to Albert. He provided me with all the essential tips for the test, including those small, easy-to-miss details. Albert’s calm and friendly approach made the driving lessons enjoyable, and he really helped me feel at ease behind the wheel. His guidance made the test seem much simpler than I expected. I highly recommend Albert for anyone looking to pass their driving test with confidence.

kunal joshi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I booked a behind-the-wheel test package with Albert for a test at San Francisco DMV. Albert picked me up an hour and a half before the test and gave me a driving practice on the city roads. I used his car for the test. His instructions were precise and the guidance he provided during the practice helped me successfully pass the test in first attempt. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor if anyone’s looking for lessons.

Fantastic experience: Albert is a great instructor. He’s very polite and knowledgeable. His instructions are clear and concise. He provides consistent feedback to help improve. He also doesn’t make you take additional lessons if you don’t need them. In my case, he felt confident in my abilities after 3 lessons and I was able to pass my test.

Melanie Ma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is a really good instructor. I was really nervous in the beginning but he was very helpful and walked me through anything. I took (4) 2 hr sessions with him and every time i would learn something new or know what I needed to improve on. I highly recommend him, because I passed with his help. :) Thank you Albert!

Alma Gashi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Albert teaches everything you need to know on the road and tailors the lesson to your type of personality. As an individual with anxiety and perfectionist tendencies, Albert taught me how to be confident on the street even after tiny mistakes. I couldn’t believe I would PASS after just 5 lessons, as a total beginner, but I passed with almost perfect score. Thanks, Albert! P.s. be assured, Albert will cover everything that will fall on the test and beyond (i.e. freeway).

Fantastic experience: Albert is a helpful driving instructor who is good at explaining in detail what needs improvement and how to work on it. After a couple of lessons, we went on the freeway and I felt more comfortable in doing so than I would have initially thought.

Shruti Parulekar 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is an excellent driving instructor. He is calm and patient and gives you clear instructions and feedback to develop your driving skills. In the past, I have taken a few classes from other driving schools in Bay Area and I think Albert is the best instructor I have met so far. He is very professional and genuinely interested in teaching you. I took 4 classes from him and after each class I felt more confident about my driving skills. After my first class he suggested I needed 2-3 classes before giving my driving test (instead of multiple classes which a lot of schools would recommend). On the day of my exam he took my around the common routes and also helped my practice things I was not confident about so I felt more prepared for the test. I was able to pass my driving test in the first attempt after just 4 classes. I would highly recommend Albert especially if you are a nervous driver or don't have a vehicle to practice on.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Albert. Albert did an excellent job of teaching concepts, allowing me to drive with an awareness that made difficult city driving much easier. He was always calm and patient, despite the difficulties I had when I began learning to drive. I passed my drivers test first try, and credit that 100% to Albert, who knew exactly which routes to take me on and what to practice in order for me to pass.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience learning how to drive with Albert. He gives you his full attention during the class, and makes sure to plan a route to focus on areas you’d like to improve. He is relaxed and very knowledgeable on tips and things to look out for as well! I had a big fear of driving and now I feel it is quite simple and logical, and fun :) I would very highly recommend him!! Thank you again Albert!

Fantastic experience: Albert is a wonderful driving instructor and is very attentive to your strengths/weaknesses as a driver. He is realistic on how many classes you need and spends a majority of the time helping you improve on specifically what you want to work on. I came to him as an unconfident driver who was very anxious on the road, but his guidance was so helpful and I am so much more self-assured in my skills and am no longer afraid to drive anywhere! His rate is also very reasonable and an absolute steal for the depth and quality of his lessons. I would recommend him 100% to anyone who is looking for an amazing driving instructor in SF.

Caroline Schercousse 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Albert!! he is an amazing driving instructor. I already had a DL from Europe but I was very stressed to take the test. Albert came to pick me up an hour+ before I had to take the test and he made me drive around, explaining everything you need to know to drive safe and pass the test. I obtained my DL on my first try thanks to Albert! He also cares a lot and wants us to pass the exam as much as we do! Thank you again, Robert.

Franklin Zhu 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Albert is super nice and helpful. I had tried other schools and lessons in the Bay Area but none were as professional as Albert, he explains things very well and is great at teaching. I passed on my first try and will definitely take more lessons with Albert as he makes me feel more confident driving on California roads. He makes sure to help resolve any bad driving habits and is the best driving instructor I ever had!! I struggle with the DMV test before having Albert teach me!!

Fantastic experience: I have never driven before and Albert helped me get over my fear of driving super quickly and safely! We passed the SF driving test after a few classes. He’s also super knowledgeable, patient, caring and just a fun person to be around. Albert was also very accommodating and generous with his time, which made it very easy for me to learn on a short time frame

Juan Pablo Torres 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As an experienced driver who learned how to drive in Mexico City at 15, I can say I wouldn't have passed my driving test without Albert. It's not just about knowing how to drive, Albert teaches you which rules are priority and what you need to pay attention to during the test. I highly recommend you drive with Albert before your behind the wheel test, even if you already feel confident.

Thomas Mc Guire 1 year ago

He teaches you not only to pass the test but to be comfortable driving in general so you will not only be able to do well on the test but be a good confident driver in general. In around 2 classes I was able to pass the test and a big amount of the credit goes to him.

Marisol Fernandez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I always said that I would never learn to drive, I had a terrible fear even though my relatives always wanted to teach me, I never achieved it until I encouraged myself and finally called Albert, the best, very patient and with the best desire to teach you how to drive as soon as possible. I only took two classes with him and it was enough. I recommend him, he is the best and this is from 11 years ago. It has served me so much in my life. I truly thank this person for existing. Yo siempre decia que nunca aprenderia a manejar, tenia un miedo terrible, a pesar de que siempre mis familiares me quisieron enseñar nunca lo logre hasta que me anime y por fin llame a Albert el mejor muy paciente y y con la mejor disposición de ensenarte a manejar lo mas pronto yo solo tome dos clases con el y fue suficiente lo recomiendo es el mejor y esto es de hace 11 años atras me ha servido tanto en mi vida de verdad muchísimas gracias a esta persona por existir.

Fantastic experience: Albert is a fantastic teacher, extremely patient, calm and cheerful. He made sure I knew the fundamentals very well, wrote notes for me after the lesson so that I wouldn’t forget and catered the lessons to whatever I felt I needed to work on. I have a licence in the UK however wanted to learn how to drive in the US so came to him for 2 lessons and will definitely be going back for more if I need practice!

Mun May Tee 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: All I heard about taking a driving exam in SF is that it's difficult, but Albert gave me a lot of confidence and turned driving in the city into something I enjoy. He had me practicing on routes that prepared me for the exam - which I passed with an almost perfect score and found it way less intimidating than what others describe. He also shared some manual driving tips that were very helpful. It's rare to find someone so patient and genuinely caring about making you a confident driver. He's friendly and puts you at ease, even when you're navigating the most nerve-wracking streets. I had a past with anxiety due to a previous road incident and have put off learning to drive for a very long time. Albert is the main reason why I now love driving. TYSM!!

Overall 10/10 experience and would recommend to any new or less experienced drivers

He’s very detailed in his explanations and helps you clarify any confusions until you fully understand. His feedback on your drives helps you fix even the smallest details, making you the safest driver that you can be on the road. After 2 lessons with Albert, I passed the DMV driving test! If you’re ever in the SF area and looking for an instructor, book a lesson with Albert!!

Fantastic experience: I just want to say Albert did a fantastic job through and through! He was able to accommodate me within a strict schedule, and late notice. He was friendly and knowledgeable the entire time, and made driving feel safe and comfortable, and the rates were very good for San Francisco. This is a great place to go if you need someone to help you with your driving. With Albert I was able to pass my test with zero marks and a perfect score, I hope that he is able to do the same for you!!

Fantastic experience: Family and friends only got me so far - I wouldn't have passed my road test without Albert's help. Expect useful advice and stern, but valuable, criticism. For people who have a fear of driving, his teaching vehicle has secondary controls, so he can get you out of unsafe situations. This safety net is especially invaluable for the highway driving section. Though not part of the road test, it was part of Albert's course (at least with me).

Angel Meza 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I heard about Albert from a friend. I explained my situation about how little experience I had and felt insecure about starting so late. He was very supportive and patient with me. Took the time to show me the basics (I was a bit nervous, so a recap was very welcomed). During the actual drive, he carefully explained each "what-if' cases and how to act on them. I made some mistakes, and while quick to point them out, to make sure I don't repeat them. He was also very supportive during the good parts too. I kept hearing from colleagues and friends taking the driving test here in SF was difficult. Difficult by comparison and for a beginner, but after a couple of lessons with Albert, the test was a breeze. I highly recommend to anyone whether experienced or new, Albert's driving school is highly recommended in my opinion. Thanks for everything Albert!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of booking a lesson/DMV test with Albert and I have nothing but praise. First off, he gave a very thorough explanation of the different road scenarios that I might encounter prior to driving. As we started driving, he gave helpful tips throughout the whole process whilst being very patient. I managed to pass the test on my first try. He also has some of the most fair rates of any driving instructor in SF. Would definitely recommend! Photo is of me with the Prius after my driving test!

C L 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My driving experience with Albert was a 10/10. Previously, I had a horrible experience with a driving instructor who had no trust in me, and it basically made me hate driving altogether. However, I was recommended by a friend to do lessons with Albert. He was patient with me and was super understandable about my fear. I ended up passing the test with only 3 errors. I never got to thank him for it, so thank you, Albert for helping me overcome my fear and anxiety of driving! ( ノ ゚ー゚)ノ

Fantastic experience: Albert Lee is an exceptional driving instructor. He is very calm and he is also kind when correcting mistakes. He is a great teacher and has helped all of my siblings and I have personally recommended him to my friends. I highly recommend his driving lessons to anyone who wants to learn how to drive well and safely on the road.

Fantastic experience: Albert is a very clear and patient driving instructor. He identifies your mistakes and bad habits and pushes you out of your comfort zone to help you become a safe driver. He is also very easy to communicate with and is flexible with scheduling. I passed my driving test in a month after taking 4 lessons. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Through word of mouth, I (28F) asked Albert for two lessons back in 2023. I was so nervous about driving but Albert was very calm, poised, and patient in his teaching. He created a really safe and chill environment for me to learn driving. By the end of the first class, I felt comfortable enough to go on the highway for a little bit! Hats off to Albert for instilling such confidence in me. My second lesson was focused on trying out busy routes very similar to that of SF DMV test. It was very helpful in understanding what to expect for the test. I am super grateful for Albert’s teaching and will recommend him to anyone who is anxious about learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: Albert was a wonderful instructor to learn driving from. Before I started, I was anxious and afraid of driving, but he was very patient and corrected bad habits. Learning how to drive from Albert made me feel more confident about driving overall, and I passed my driving test after just a few lessons. Absolutely would recommend if looking for a driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Albert taught my daughter to drive and I have since referred others. She passed the first time- which is always a plus. But more importantly, he gave her the tools and confidence to be a good/safe driver. As a parent, I appreciated that Albert was easy to communicate with and had some flexibility with scheduling.

Fantastic experience: Albert is a wonderful instructor! I am an adult learner with some experience driving but never got my license. I had 3 lessons with him and he gave me the confidence to drive in the city and in Daly City. He walked me through the exact route of the test and I passed on the first try. Thank you Albert!

Fantastic experience: Albert is a phenomenal driving instructor!!! He has the patience of a saint and nerves of steel. Albert has a no-nonsense method of just putting you on the road and having you buck up and go for it! His confidence in his students makes them excel without them realizing his tactics. My story is extreme. I am a 58 year old San Francisco native. I was terrified of driving for decades. I either walked for miles or took public transportation. But in my old age, I decided that "being afraid to drive" was not a story that served me anymore. Carrying around that fear was dead weight. Albert taught me to drive in 8 lessons over 6 weeks. My 9th and final lesson was on the day of my drivers exam. I passed it with points to spare. For me having the confidence and skill to get in a car and drive away safely is a life changing event! I owe my new found freedom to Albert's excellent instructions and total confidence in my ability...even when I doubted myself. You can't find a better teacher than Albert Lee!

Fantastic experience: Alberto is a good instructor if you need to learn how to drive or you would like to pass your behind-the-wheel test. He is patient, professional, and friendly. He has a good method of teaching and it is easy to understand his instructions and corrections, also if you are not a native speaker. He gave me important tips during our session. I had two hours of lessons the day before the test and warm-up on the test day. After that, I passed the test on my first attempt because Albert helped me. I highly recommend Albert for foreign drivers.
