Francisco was easy to schedule with and provided timely responses. As a father of a daughter, it was necessary for me to have a female driving instructor, given that parents cannot accompany their children during the two-hour driving training sessions. I did not want to leave my daughter alone with a male instructor I did not know for two hours, which some other driving schools would have required. Maria was a great female instructor, always punctual and kind.

If you are looking for professional driving instruction, this is the ideal place to visit. I had three sessions with three different instructors, and each one was extremely helpful, kind, and patient with me. I was very anxious about driving and felt insecure about not having obtained my license until my early 20s, but none of the instructors made me feel bad about my age, and they always provided a calming and supportive environment that made me feel comfortable while driving, which was also reassuring given that they have their own emergency brake. It was very easy to book lessons, with a lot of availability, and I could usually book an appointment just a few days in advance. I highly recommend this place.

I highly recommend this driving school. They were so friendly, reasonably priced and so prompt. They scheduled him exactly when we needed it. My son passed on his test the first time and he really enjoyed the instructors. He said they were so nice and knowledgeable and had a great experience. Thank you for helping my son get his license this week!

My son went to Varsity school half year ago and he didn't pass the test. I signed up my son with this school one week ago. After 6 hours of training, he passed his test today! I am very happy with the instructors. One instructor trained the driving from Tuesday to Thuresday and took my son to the DMV today. The other was for Sunday. I don't know their names, but I want to thank them for their patience and knowledge. I will recommend this school to everybody I know.

I definitely recommend City Freeway to whoever who's learning to drive for the first time! The lessons are reasonably priced, and I was able to pass my driving test on the first try. Cassandra was my driving instructor and she was absolutely amazing! She made me feel comfortable right away, and I could not have done it without her.

The driving instructor Cassandra is a great person she helped me learn how to drive, and I just passed my behind the wheel test. If it wasn't for her I dont think I would have passed.

I passed my driving test today. Thanks to ANTHONY he was my instructor and he guided me very well. He never scream at me and kept patience with me. I have never drove a car before so I was very nervous. But he always make sure that I stay confident by his positive words. He was always on time to pick me up for my lessons. He make sure that I cover all driving test hurdles. I am very much thankful to him for his support and guidance.
I did my driving test at Costa Mesa DMV, CASSANDRA took me there. She helped me to calm down, since I was very nervous. She is a lucky charm I would say since I passed my test in first time only. I truly belive that both ANTHONY & CASSANDRA genuine care for their students. Good luck to others.
