Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test on the first try! And it’s all thanks to the amazing instruction from Mark and Elaine at Goodland Driving School. I’m naturally a nervous driver, so I didn’t practice much on my own and depended heavily on their lessons. Mark is fantastic at adapting his teaching style to fit each student’s personality and driving habits. His tips are practical, effective, and make an immediate difference. Elaine is an absolute pro when it comes to parking. I was really worried that my lack of parking skills would hold me back, but after just a few lessons with her, I felt completely confident. Their patience, expertise, and encouragement made all the difference. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for instructors who truly care and deliver results!

Fantastic experience: I have quite bad driving anxiety and I was unable to get practice outside of the lessons and yet I passed on my first try! I had lessons with 4 instructors and they were all great! It was good to get a different approach to both the teaching and the feedback from each of them :) Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Elaine is a good driving instructor. My daughter said that learning from her is like driving with a friend.

Fantastic experience: They were great. Initially, my daughter had zero experience, I was too nervous to teach her myself. The Goodland Driving School instructors prepared her well from ground zero to passing the test. Special shout out to Joshua and Mark. The instructors are calm, experienced and made her feel comfortable and confident about driving. I would highly recommend them over the other competitors. They also offer better rate. Save yourselves from anxiety, and Save money and sign up with them!!!

Mark will teach you the main fundamentals and once you are comfortable behind the wheel, Elaine will ensure that you pass the bar set for the actual test. After passing my test, I had the confidence to drive rental SUV within Goleta which was unimaginable for me a few days ago. The prices are way more reasonable compared to any other driving school. Couldn't be more satisfied with this driving school.
