Fantastic experience: My instructor was really good and patient he used to be a pilot and was very knowledgeable and helpful to me and gave me a refresher course on driving and safety skills.

Fantastic experience: I’ve bought 6 hours of behind the wheel lessons only to find out they are booked more than a month in advance. EDIT I was contacted by the Poway driving school and the issue was resolved in a kind and professional manner. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had an incredible experience with Poway Driving school! She worked with Byron and Brandi and found them both so kind, calm, and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend this school. Specially taking classes with Emmanuel. He is very professional and reallyyyy patient. He really knows what he’s taking about. Thanks to his knowledge and professionalism, i passed my DMV drivers test the first try, always keeping in mind his tips on driving. Poway driving school way to go!!

Fantastic experience: Very efficient and supportive. Portal is quite user friendly. Will definitely recommend to others

Fantastic experience: I am really thankful for all the instructors at Poway Driving School. I went from being nervous driving out of the parking lot to passing the DMV behind-the-wheel test in under three weeks practice. Their professionalism is top-tier.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Poway Driving School. The instructor (Ben) was so patient and made my daughter feel comfortable. The instructor actually tried to teach her and empower her to know what she was doing, instead of just logging in the needed time. I would highly recommend them. In a world where it is hard to know who to trust your kid with, this place delivered.

Fantastic experience: Had three lessons with Dion at Poway and just passed the driving test on the first try. Thanks so much Dion!

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with the instructors. I felt I got some great advice, good amount of driving practice, and it was all beneficial. The first lesson I had was with Bryon and he was wonderful. Then my second and third lessons were with Dion and then Diego. All three were very good. They made me feel comfortable, remained calmed while I drove, and just made learning to drive and getting practice, a very relaxed situation. I really appreciated all three of them!

Fantastic experience: Great driving school, I had Dion as my instructor and he is definitely someone I'd recommend to anyone looking for driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: Emanuel is a very good instructor. Both my girls only want to have sessions with him, and this after they tried different instructors.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is especially good. Owner of school is also really nice.

Fantastic experience: Since I am elderly, I felt I was not best person to teach my grandchild how to drive. I booked four 6 hour sessions and they were worth every $$. The instructors were patient and well qualified. She passed first try with only one point off! I highly recommend Poway Driving School and I told the Poway DMV what great instructors they have! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My daughter took her lessons here and we would do it again. Byron was the most awesomest teacher. He was so calm and patient with my daughter. He was always on time and with a smile on his face…..I knew my daughter was in good hands. Thanks Byron you are amazing!!!!!!!!

Positive experience: The instructors were all friendly and easy to talk to. They taught me a lot of tips for the driving test. I was not very good at parking and backing up on the side of the road at first, but with a lot of practice, I think I've improved. However, when the apprentice instructor was riding with us, instructor tended to be preoccupied and neglected to give me instructions.

Fantastic experience: On time, and great instructors.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my driving lessons with Brandi. She was an incredible instructor, she made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and confident about driving. Each lessons I would learn valuable tips and information to further help with my driving. I couldn’t recommend her more, her bright and positive attitude helped me relax and get comfortable on the road. Thanks Brandi!!

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: I used this school for my son a few years ago, and recently with my daughter. The instructors are amazing and dedicated when it comes to helping! My daughter worked with Lisa and Dion and they both gave her great input and experiences. I highly recommended this driving school for anyone! Both my kids passed their first time with the help of the school.

Fantastic experience: My drivers Dion and Byron did very well to shape me into the driver I am right now thank you to them

Fantastic experience: My daughter did her driving lessons with Chelsea and we had the best experience. Chelsea is cheerful, positive and very understanding which made the whole driving experience easy and smooth for my daughter. Thanks to Chelsea my daughter passed her driving test!

Fantastic experience: As a new driver with zero experience before, I gradually got more confident and comfortable driving every session and got my license successfully. My instructor Dion is friendly, patient and very helpful. He is always on time, his sessions are organized and enjoyable, and he gives constructive feedback. I would definitely recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Today I had my behind-the-wheel test and I passed it. I can't thank Emmanuel enough, my driving instructor, for giving me excellent pieces of advice that helped me pass this test. He is such a professional! While I was driving with an examiner, and when he was directing me on the things to do during my test I always had in mind what Emmanuel taught me how to do it, like, how to properly park or those small things to be aware of while I'm approaching or I am in the intersection, to maintain the distances, etc. every single advice I got helped me passing this test. I highly recommend this School for the professionalism they have.

Fantastic experience: Great driving school, good cars to learn in. Brandi Matthews was a great instructor and made behind the wheel lessons easy and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: The instructors drive to your house to pick you up if you are nearby. Instructor Lyla Lopez is very patient and provides good advice.

Fantastic experience: Attended the in course session for my permit back in 2016, now my younger brother is taking the online course. They're great, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Today I took my driving class lesson here it was really interesting. Lyala was my instructor who works here and she is the bestest .I was little bit nervous before, but she is super friendly and makes me comfortable behind the wheel. Now I think I am absolutely ready for my up coming driving test. I wanna say big thanks to Lyala and Poway driving school for this amazing experience.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had Luis C. as her instructor today and he was EXCEPTIONAL! She had an excellent experience and learned so much from Luis. He made her feel comfortable and answered all our questions. I would recommend Poway Driving School, and Luis specifically, to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Driving class so good thanks for powayer driving school

Fantastic experience: My daughter used Poway Driving School. We LOVED her instructor, Kathleen. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Negative experience: My daughter had Joshua as a behind the wheel instructor twice, and she said he was rude, condescending, and nearly had her in tears the whole 2 hour lesson. She had another instructor for one of her driving lessons who she really liked, but really had a difficult time with Joshua. Would not recommend Joshua as a behind the wheel instructor. I would consider taking my younger child elsewhere, after this experience with Joshua.

Positive experience: Thanks to Joshua, the behind the wheel trainer from this school who helped pass with just a single error. Arrived little late but he is cool, friendly, patient and his instructions were practical which can't be learned ourselves.

Fantastic experience: I took my in class lessons here it was early and super long but fun and interesting. I took my driving lesson with David who works here and he is the best. He's super friendly and makes sure youre comfortable behind the wheel and going to certain places.
