I cannot recommend this driving school and Gerald enough! I’m in my early 40s and, having always lived in big cities, I never had the need or the confidence to get my license. I was honestly quite nervous about finally getting behind the wheel. While other schools tried to upsell me on endless lesson packages, Gerald was straight to the point and wasted no time. He is the perfect balance of sweet but firm, and he took my fear of driving away from the very first lesson. Despite not having a car of my own to practice in between sessions, I felt fully prepared and passed my DMV test after only three meetings. If you want an instructor who is efficient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about your success rather than just your money, ask for Gerald. Awesome dude!

Thank you Gerald for greatly helping my teen!!! My 16 yrs old passed her first attempt on behind the wheel test on a rainy morning of Dec. 21, 2025. She was assisted by Gerald, and also used his car. It was worth every $$$ we spent.
