A1 Driving and Traffic School McLaughlin, Los Angeles

I would like thank A1 driving School for accompanying me all the way to my behind the wheel driving test. I had 4 hours session with them and it s really worth it. I passed my behind the wheel driving test with flying colors and I only took it once! Geo was my instructor and he did all the best of his ability to make me a good driver! He instructs well and he is very systematic in terms of driving! I gained my confidence in the road and I was able to deal with different traffic situations and managed...
Read full review it very well! Geo you are the man! Keep up the good work! You are really efficient and effective driving instructor! Also to Jackie thank you very much for your excellent customer service, I really appreciate it. You guys in A1 driving School are so NICE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

They have very friendly and experienced driving instructors. Frank (instructor) was a great teacher. Very nice, calm, understanding, and is a very good instructor. The staff is friendly and respectful. Overall, the whole school comes together to help and make sure that the driving students are well prepared and can pass getting their license.

This is a good driving school. It was super easy to schedule my lessons with them and make payments, Jackie was always polite and helpful to me. All the instructors were very patient and pointed out my mistakes promptly. At the same time they never made me feel nervous and chatted very casually while driving.Its makes a lot of difference when you are driving for straight two hours :) I had total 12 lessons with them and most of the time Geo was my instructor. He was very friendly and encouraging! Definitely made me a better driver! Thank you all of you at A1 driving school! PS : they loose one star for messing up my pick up address more than twice.

Great experience! Surprising part was my instructor had much more confidence than I had that I will pass the Drive test in 1st attempt! This instructor has hell lot of patience and is so cool and friendly - start of my class, my view of me driving in US was different and after 1 class - I could see myself driving in US! I recently moved from India to US and used to drive back in India. Amazing person to learn with, knows how to boost up confidence in his student and train him accordingly. I chew...
Read full review his brains a lot with my questions during my class - as in why not this way etc etc and he answered them all explaining the rules! So do i still need to mention his name here...... Any guess.... Ofcourse!!! It has to be Geo!! Thank you A1 and Jackie who mapped me to Geo as my Driving Instructor. Thank you Geo!! You Rock!!

I had failed the behind-the-wheel driving test five times before I found A1 Driving & Traffic School. I had driven with a permit for many years but always messed up in some ways when I took the driving tests. Therefore, I really needed a driving coach who could help me get my drivers license at the sixth try, and Geo was the guy! One thing Geo did differently from my previous driving coaches was that he did not drive for me. There were several times that I went too close to the car in front of me...
Read full review but I was able to stop before I kissed those cars. When most driving coaches would have stepped on the brake for me (some might even scream out due to panic,) Geo gave me the opportunities to feel how much time I might need to safely stop my car. With his calm attitude, I felt I was trustworthy and gradually built up my confidence in driving. After Geos training, I truly believe that I can be a good driver without anyone telling me what to do when I drive alone in the future. I took fourteen 2-hour sessions with Geo within one month, and had practiced driving around the general Los Angeles areas including local streets and highways, even on the winding roads in Laurel Canyon. We usually had the radio on and chatted like friends. Although Geo seemed to be casual, he was quite alert when I drove. He gave comprehensible instructions when I didnt know how to react to the road situations, and his advices indeed helped me improve my driving skills. All in all, I had very happy learning experiences with Geo and A1 Driving & Traffic School (Jackie and Abraham were also very patient when I talked to them.) Most importantly, I passed my driving test this time at Culver City DMV. Thank you, Geo!

A1 Driving school was a fun and interesting experience. I purchased three lessons. For the first and third lesson, I had the honor of having Christi as my instructor with her extreemily fun personality, passion of music, and her influence of calming you down and getting you focused on the road. She gives you really good tips and notes and repeats them constantly so that you would remember them. Really good instructor for teenagers especially. The seccond lesson, I had was with Frank. he was very mellow and patient with me. He had great reflexes, laughed at my jokes, and when i was freaking out on the freeway he calmed me down and got me through it. He was so good, I just had to treat him to a starbucks. I love A1 driving school!

I hadnt driven a car before, and now thanks to A1 Driving School, I got my license on my first attempt! Special thanks to Geo, great teacher. He observes your driving keenly and customizes the lessons to develop what you lack. Also thanks to Jackie for prompt and efficient customer support.

I loved my experience at A1! My driver was Christi, and she taught me everything I needed to know before taking the test. She answered all of my questions, and was super patient with me. I purchased three lessons, and took my behind the wheel test the day after my last lesson, and I passed. Definitely a great choice!

Thank you Geo! Received my Cali DL first go at the Santa Monica DMV. I recently moved to LA from Australia - I have been driving for 30 years but wanted a single lesson a few days before my test to brush up and understand what the testers would be looking for. I had my own car and Geo took me around the area where the test would be. He was really clear, and concise in his instruction. He picked up on my strengths and weaknesses straight away, and at the same time instilled me with confidence...
Read full review in my ability. It was interesting that just driving around so many scenarios came up that were pertinent to passing my test. Geo knows many of the DMV testers and has great local knowledge of SM and also many other areas on the west side. Geo is really easy and fun to be with and the two hour lesson just flew by. He is relaxed, confident, and knows his stuff. Loved the lack of ego - a truly sweet guy with a positive regard for his clients and in life in general. Thanks again! Karen Grant

A1 Driving school is definitely the best driving school around orange county.The staff is nice and friendly. I took 3 driving lessons from the school and luckily, my instructor was Christi. She is a very friendly and nice person. She explained each and every rule clearly and I cleared my driving test within 1 month and that too in my first attempt.Thats some achievement for a person who has never driven before and also,who was damn nervous about driving in the first class but with Christi,it was...
Read full review all fun and amazing and I learnt driving in no time.She always encouraged me and said that driving is not so tough and she was so right. The examiner told me that I did not make mistakes,my stops were perfect, and she felt very safe with me while I was driving. What else do you want? I owe this to Christi. Thank you A1 and specially Christi. I would recommend this school to everyone who want to get their driving license.. Yayyyy!!!
