I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to give a huge shout out to this place. My instructor Alexandra was warm and welcoming. She was knowledgeable on the rules of the road and helped me build confidence while driving. She was very much involved in the dmv process and made the whole experience great. Don't think I could have gotten my license without Yolandas and will forever recommend this to anyone with a desire to drive or improve their driving skills! I so glad I checked this place out

I wish I knew Yolanda's Driving School sooner. But as they say better late than never! Thank you so much, Fred! You're the best. I finally passed my driving test today, without Fred's outstanding teaching skills I wouldn't make it. Thanks for your patience, effort and the driving techniques that you taught me. Fred will make you feel comfortable and he trusts his students that they can pass it. I like how he helped me bring my confidence back to nail the test today. I am one happy student and I will definitely recommend Fred and Yolanda to anyone!

...Thanks to Victor's expert guidance and the comprehensive training I received at Yolanda's Driving School, I passed my driving test with confidence on the first attempt. I felt well-prepared and ready to demonstrate my skills thanks to Victor's thorough preparation and the supportive environment fostered by the school. I cannot recommend Victor and Yolanda's Driving School highly enough to anyone looking for a top-notch driving education in a supportive and inclusive environment. Thank you, Victor, and the entire team at Yolanda's Driving School, for making my journey to becoming a licensed driver such a positive and empowering experience.
