Elite Driving Academy

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so glad I chose Elite Driving Academy! Mike is an amazing instructor — patient, clear, and encouraging. If you follow his guidance, you’ll be test-ready in no time. Scheduling lessons was effortless and always worked around my busy work schedule. Thanks to Mike, I passed my driving test on the very first attempt. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Mike’s calm demeanor made me feel confident in my driving skills and ready for my test. I passed on my first attempt with only two points lost. I have a license from my home country of Canada, so I do have lots of driving experience, but even so, Mike gave me some good tips to improve my driving. He is extremely knowledgeable on the rules and regulations specific to the California test, and we practiced all the skills that would assessed on my test day in detail. Thank you Mike!

Experiencia fantástica: Elite Driving Academy is the best choice I have made to prepare my teen to drive. Mike helped her feel comfortable and prepared to pass her test. He goes above and beyond with the students by having them practice for the test driving the actual test route. He makes the DMV appointment for them and let's them use his elite car to take their test if they prefer to. He sets them up to succeed. My daughter was very excited to pass her test the first time and with an excellent score. I highly recommend Elite Driving Academy.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my second time around with Mike as I had a make or break experience last year when he took over my instruction and helped me pass after two fails. I'm 79 and I needed practice, Mike's knowledge, and the tips and test savvy confidence he instills. Passed again and can say with certainty that if you want to learn how drive; with Mike, you will!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an outstanding experience at Elite driving academy, and I owe it all to my fantastic instructor, Mike. From the very first lesson, Mike demonstrated incredible patience and expertise. His friendly and approachable manner made every session enjoyable and stress-free. Mike's teaching techniques were clear and effective, and he always provided constructive feedback to help me improve. His dedication to his students' success is truly remarkable. Thanks to Mike, I felt fully prepared and confident during my driving test, which I passed easily. I highly recommend Elite driving academy to anyone seeking top-notch driving instruction. THANKS MIKE!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Mike is a great friend to have for seniors (and juniors) to have when navigating through the CA DMV driving test. I had failed the first two of three road exams and lost paperwork before the final one. He knew what to do when I didn't, stayed cool and was savvy all the way. Also reasonable and thorough.

Experiencia fantástica: Michael is a terrific teacher! He's easy to communicate with and scheduling appointments is simple. My daughter was completely prepared to take her drive test. A lot of attention is paid to making sure the student learns how to drive, the rules of the road, what to expect on the driving test, and how the test will be administered. As a parent, he made it very easy for me by scheduling the drive test and meeting us at the DMV on the testing day. He waited through the entire process and got to share in my daughter's excitement of getting her license, on the first try! I highly recommend Elite Driving Academy.

Experiencia fantástica: At first I was very nervous ,but Mike patiently helped me and encouraged me ,and got my license for my first try. Thank you Mike.

Experiencia fantástica: I just passed my test first try! Mike walked me through everything I needed to know before taking the test and reassured me. He is extremely patient and informative and I’m extremely happy to have had him as my instructor.

Experiencia fantástica: We used Mike for both of our daughters and I would highly recommend using his service. They both passed on the first try with little error. He took all the stress away on test day by having them drive the course right before the exam and it made all the differenice! A+++

Experiencia fantástica: Mike is amazing! I was nervous to drive but with his lessons he made me a confident, safe driver and taught me everything I needed to know to pass my test on the first try! He really went above and beyond! I highly recommend Elite Driving Academy.

Experiencia fantástica: I used Mike and Elite Driving Academy to teach both my son and daughter to learn how to drive both received 100% scores. Mike is very affordable, patient, and knowledgeable. Both my kids were prepared for their drive tests and passed first time. Mike even stayed with me during their driving tests to help me maneuver through the whats next part of the appt. Thanks, Mike.

Experiencia negativa: I paid and signed up for the 6 hour course for my daughter on May 1st. As of August 2nd, Mike has failed to give my daughter the lessons she needed to get her licensee. She has had 4 one hour lessons, each almost a month a part, and Mike left after showing up for another lesson this weekend because of his Cat! He advertises his 6 hr course as the following * The Elite Driver training System * Curb Parking & lane positioning * The 10 Blind Spots * 180-200 Right & Left turns * Lane Change moderate traffic * Straight line Backing * Parking lot, Parking * Correct following distance * Correct stopping distance * 10-20 second scanning * Timing traffic lights * U turns w/ green arowws * Freeway merg light - moderate traffic * Freeway exiting * Smart lane positioning * When to signal * How to look back correctly * Safety equipment check * Mock drive test. My daughter just drove around the neighborhood with him, no freeway training, and none of the information above was covered. My daughter still has trouble staying in lanes and is not prepared for her test. Mike neglected to schedule her drivers test in advance even after sending him her permit no less than 5 times. First one sent on May 8th, then every time my daughter texted him, she had to resend it. Her permit expires in 2 days so she will not be getting her license soon. We hired Mike because we needed a professional 3rd party to teach our daughter how to drive. Both my wife and I tried with her but we made her too nervous. Mike took our money and did not fulfill his agreement. After contacting him, he said he had been trying to schedule but he could not. Sorry but he had from May 8th to today to schedule a date and he never did. He has offered to refund the last two sessions, however I will be seeking a full refund. Do not let this guy teach you to drive!

Experiencia fantástica: Mike was awesome! A fantastic instructor who was patient and informative! He even met us at the DMV to help us with the process. His services were invaluable!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! Works with your schedule and could not be happier with the results. A new confident driver in the family.

Experiencia fantástica: Did an amazing job helping me get my license. Mike didn't just teach me how to drive but he walked me through every part of the way through the DMV and never quit on me until I got my license. He's also a pretty cool guy. :)

Experiencia fantástica: Best academy

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great time learning how to drive from Mike. He taught me everything I needed to know for the license exam, and I was able to pass without making any mistakes. I really appreciated his thoroughness and patience when teaching me all the skills required to be a great driver. I highly recommend Elite Driving Academy to all driving students

Experiencia fantástica: After having passed my driving test a few days ago, I can attribute much of my success to Mike & the Elite Driving Academy. Throughout my lessons leading up to the official DMV test, Mike had not only proven himself to be an experienced technical instructor (he taught me all the rules of the road, helped me gain newfound awareness of my surroundings, reviewed safety precautions, etc) but a patient, reliable, and supportive advocate for his students. Mike’s commitment to client success is unwavering. His willingness to go the “extra mile” was impressive. His insider knowledge of DMV test procedures/styles proved invaluable. Every time I had a lesson with Mike, my confidence behind the wheel grew stronger. Above all, I highly recommend the Elite Driving Academy to prospective driving students. My experience was absolutely wonderful. Thank you Mike!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a phenomenal time working with Mike. He took the time to break down all the rules of driving very well. He is also patient too. Great place and guy to work with. I highly recommend him. If I need to review any of the rules of driving he is my go to man. When i went to go get my license, he took the extra time to prep me up for the course and for the test. I love this man!!!

Experiencia fantástica: We are very happy with the whole driving school process! Mike is a fantastic instructor! Our daughter passed her driving test with 100%!!! We highly recommend Elite driving academy! The very best!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best driving school among several driving schools that I have visited in Southern California. Mike is a very experienced instructor. I highly recommend this wonderful school.

Experiencia fantástica: I was fully satisfied this this experience. Mike works really well with kids. We is very flexible and responsive. I have used 3 different driving schools over the years and this is by far the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Our friends and family have used Mike's service for years. We have all been very happy. Mike goes above and beyond and also handles special needs situations. Thanks for all you do Mike!
