Top-Rated Instructors and First-Try Success

The Driving Professors has established itself as a premier driving school in Folsom, California, earning the trust of DMV employees, law enforcement officers, and parents alike. The school’s philosophy prioritizes education over profit, ensuring that every student receives high-quality instruction. This commitment is reflected in the numerous testimonials from families who report that their children passed their DMV driving tests on the very first attempt, often with zero errors. Students consistently praise the instructors for their ability to build confidence, particularly for those who enter the car with significant anxiety or nervousness.

Flexible Scheduling and Personalized Attention

One of the standout features of this school is its flexibility.

Negative experience: This was a while ago, but I took my first driving lesson in this driving school and it felt like my anxious what-ifs was a fraction of what that 1 hour and 45 minutes felt like. My instructor (can't remember her name, apologies) didn't answer/poorly answered any of my questions I had for driving. For example, at the beginning of the lesson she had me drive anywhere I could go while she got situated. I thought that, this would be a perfect time to practice my parking because I still didn't get a hang of it. I asked her for some tips, gave me pretty menial tips that didn't help me AT ALL. And whenever I parked badly, she would just say a flat no and wait for me to do it again. Also in this conversation, she started to talk about gender stereotypes which, in my opinion, is completely unnecessary to the situation at hand. Specifically so, she discussed how "girls are more likely to be nervous than guys in driving" which is so random because I'm fairly sure everyone--regardless of gender--should be nervous on their first driving lesson. After the entire parking ordeal, I started to drive around in complete silence. I'm not complaining about the silence, no. Silence is good, since teens like me prefer to have a quiet moment to focus on driving. But when I did something wrong like doing a rolling stop/not using my blinker, she did the same thing as before. She plainly said no and didn't bother to expand on what I did wrong. Midway into this driving lesson, this woman had the gall to stop and go out to buy candy at a gas station, taking off a lot of time for MY LESSON I PAID FOR! That was probably the most disappointed I have been in someone, since she didn't bother accounting for the missed time when she was inside the gas station. There are more minor moments that bothered me in this lesson, but I'll spare the details since this review's growing pretty long. Looking at the Our Professors page, I believe that the teacher I had was Tracy, but do give the benefit of the doubt if you are a parent/future student reading this. She also did apologize to me around the end regarding her attitude, since her student before my lesson ruined her mood. That's completely all right; everyone's been in abstruse situations so I wouldn't judge at all. However, I strongly believe that should not give you leeway to not help me at all. FYI, I don't think my review alone should stop you from choosing this school, however, I just wanted to give some insight on my personal experience. I didn't get to choose the other professors, but from the reviews given by others, they seem amazing. I haven't done another one of these driving lessons by any driving school after this lesson; my parents and I decided it would be better if I got my license at 18 rather than doing another lesson because how bad my experience was with this one (and the other driving schools were all booked.) *edited this to fix some typos
