Local Driving School

I had Kirt for two lessons and it was great. He made sure to help me on any areas where I felt uncomfortable and left feeling more confident in my driving. He will train you on the route and the conversations we had while driving were great!

The school is great. If you’ve never driven before and don’t have a car, this is the place for you. My instructors, Druh and Kirt, were super helpful and really taught me how to drive, and gave me advice on how to pass the road test. After months of trying on my own, they helped me pass test. Without them, I wouldn’t have a license. I highly recommend this school.

Sean was my driving instructor and he did a great job to prepare me for the btw test in just 1 hour. He is patient, insightful, and a great choice for a quick prep with guaranteed success! Strongly recommend.

Kirt is a great instructor and took me out on really interesting routes. Happily I passed first time and feel very confident behind the wheel - lots of great tips for being a safe and considerate driver in the bay.
Thank-you Local Driving School

I just completed my behind-the-wheel training and have past the road test today. Although I ended up using another company to take me to this road test in Oakland due to personal availability, Local Driving School in the East Bay is the way to go in terms of driver’s training and exposure to the road. They have a great fleet of Toyota Prius or Corolla training vehicles. Everyone I have met at this school has been so kind, professional, and supportive! Kirt took me on trips to places I haven’t seen on the road. He will put you in different driving scenarios that will make you a perfect driver. Druh was the perfect driver to do a mock test with. She was my first instructor to expose me to the adventurous road on Day 1. Sean is the master behind finding your perfect pulse on driving technique and knowledge. He will train you to the highest standard in terms of safe driving both in real life and the road test. Fernando brings you on his unique 2 hour course and is a great guy to talk to when you’re on the road. He has a famous El Cerrito, Berkeley, Kensington, Richmond route that he stands by. The customer service online has been amazing as well! I wouldn’t have made my driver’s license without this school’s diligent training. Thank You Local Driving School!

I took the silver package for lessons initially and later added top up for few more lessons only to get better at generic driving. I preferred the combination of both Kirt and Druh as it boosted my confidence further. Druh is supremely calm and master of her trade! Kirt is super passionate and desires to imbibe the significance of driving in general and provided constructive criticism. Sean checked on my skills and gave me the last minute motivation on the exam day.

I passes in my first attempt with no anxiety at all, coz I had wonderful driving experience with local driving school. Highly recommended!

I had Kirt and Druh as my mentors and they always provided insight to make me a better driver, they helped me scan the roads better which in turn make me a more confident driver. They are both very patient and calm which makes them easy to communicate with, which makes the experience of driving a much easier task. Overall the Local Driving School provided me with the best opportunities in order to pass the driving test and grow my ability as a driver

Thank you Druh for being patient, kind and considerate with me. Every lesson I had with Druh was informational.she goes at your pace and lets you ask question. She does inform you on everything you need to work on and gives you a paper at the end of each lesson on what you can improve. (only if needed) The second lesson she will ask you what you want to improve on and what your having trouble with.she is an amazing Teacher. Thank you again!

Kirt was a great instructor! He helped me pass my first driving exam today. I’m usually a nervous driver but he was so friendly and made me feel confident in my driving. All my previous lessons with other instructors really helped prepare me as well.

The instructors are always friendly and helpful and calm. Druh and Kirt were very helpful and friendly.

Amazing driving experience. Learned a lot from my instructor Kirt. Really recommend him and this school!

I did the platinum pack with Kirt, and after driving with him for ten hours, I truly feel like a confident driver. He gave constructive criticism when I needed it, but also gave me support and gave me the confidence to drive on any road.he also gave me detailed evaluations after every class so that I knew what to improve. If you have been thinking about learning how to drive, definitely do it at Local Driving School with Kirt, you will not regret it!

I had Kirt as my instructor and it was a great experience overall! I had him the three times and I learned so much and I’m always more confident and comfortable after the lessons!
