Introduction: I've been teaching people how to drive since 1999, worked with people from all over the world, always try to do my best to teach how to drive, and how to do it in the way that you have to drive, when you're ready for your drive test. I cover all of Los Angeles, flexible hours, 6 am, to 8 pm, I can start from your home, job, school, and drop you off where it's convenient for you. I enjoy teaching, have worked with teens, adults, seniors, every day Joe's, actors, entertainers, etc. Car for drive test available, can recommend which dmv to go take your test at, which day is best, at what time, can train you for your test at any of the local dmvs in LA, and the Valley. Give you as many pointers as posible, when you ask me to take you to the drive test. I feel that I can do my job in a great manner!

I took several driving lessons with Jose and had a great experience. He helped me correct my mistakes on the road, which aided in learning and remembering everything necessary for safe driving. Most importantly, I passed my test with him. I can definitely recommend him!

My experience with Jose as my driving instructor was excellent. With only three lessons I passed my test on the first try. His calm and encouraging approach, coupled with professionalism, made the learning process both easy and safe. Felt secure on busy roads, I’ve learned a lot of useful instructions. I highly recommend his services.

Jose is the best driving instructor out there! I very much enjoyed being taught by him and just passed my driving test after doing several lessons together. Before that, my family was teaching me and I failed 2 times. He instilled confidence in my driving and was really helpful with explaining all the different rules and what to pay attention to. I highly recommend driving with Jose! Thank you very much!!!

Came to the US without any prior driving experience. Thanks to Jose's invaluable lessons now I'm a licensed driver and have so much more freedom when it comes to transportation. Jose helped me to build my general driving skills, while also providing advice and sharing valuable knowledge about a particular location I was going to take a test at. He's a great professional and I can definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor.
