I had training class this Saturday for hour and half and mr Mejid was very rude and unprofessional Us a new driver you make mistakes and instead of correcting it calmly and professionally he was shouting at me saying I was irresponsible and telling me my hand is glued to the steering wheel and I was slowly stopping at the stop sign and he slammed the break and told me I didn't see it but I did he told me he doesn't read minds and he was very upset and not friendly at all overall he was very rude and have anger issue I had another driving instructor before and non of them act and speak students this was I was very upset and when someone constantly shouting on you and you start panicking and that what happened to me today he kill my confidence in driving very disappointed I do not recommend it

Had to take a long break due to a family living situation before completing my behind the wheel, Majid was very understanding on top of being a helpful instructor.

Mr. Majid Pedram is such an awesome and experienced instructor. He showed me every single detail of driving confidently and how to become a skillful driver.

Majid is amazing. Two of my kids learn to drive from him and my third one is in the process of getting her drivers license. He is patient and persistent in teaching the kids to drive in a competent and safe manner. I highly recommend the school.

I took the online drivers ed and behind the wheel with this school. Eric, one of the behind the wheel instructors was awesome. I was nervous when I started out, but after one lesson I wasn't anymore. The online drivers ed wasn't bad, there's 7 sections, with a test at the end of each section. You can take section 1-6 at home as many times as you would like, but you have to take the final at the office. It cumulative, but if you retake the other section tests a couple times, you'll be fine.

My experience with my instructor was positive: he was understanding, knowledgeable, and patient. My experience with Majid, the head instructor that gives you your license, however, was less so. He was rude, condescending, and definitely plays favorites with his students, tending to be nicer to girls than to guys. It's sexist, and I was highly considering reporting him to the state to get his licensing credentials hopefully revoked by the end of my experience with him. Based on the poor quality of the guy running the program, I do not recommend this school to anyone.

Took a 2hr driver training session from instructor Erick. He was very friendly and cheerful guy and explained things very well.

Was really nervous about them after reading all the negative reviews however had a very different experience. i have never been behind the wheel and didn't know a bit about driving but in just three sessions their instructor Mr. Smith i was able to drive even on high ways. i am glade i had the chance to learn driving from them. they seem to be quit professional and experienced

Majid taught all 3 of my children how to drive and the majority of my friends children. He was professional and takes giving them a driver's license VERY serious. He stayed in contact with me, returned calls immediately and even gave my one child a free lesson just to make sure he was confident. My sister came to town and needed a school for my niece.

She was anxious when she saw the star rating and reviews. She trusted me and was very happy! My children (and niece) never did anything to make him angry so I can't speak to the review claiming he's insulting when he's angry. It's his job to decide when to be on the breaks. Not the student who doesn't have a license. Once again he takes his job seriously so to be angry that someone was not taught properly doesn't surprise me. Reviewing him negatively because he got lost has nothing to do with his actual business. Read the below reviews with a grain of salt.

Agree with Kayley, I also had a bad experience with this guy, I'm trying to obtain my license and called/emailed various places. I was very polite and emailed the man and asked a simple question. I got an extremely rude response on how my school didn't educate me on the requirements for driving and just said to to pay him $295! Just rude and unprofessional, please stay away!

The assistant driving teachers seem to be decent, but the head driving instructor who always administers the final seven licensing sessions is awful. Driving with him is very stressful, as he is hot-tempered, overly critical, and is very quick to put the breaks on for even the tiniest mistake. Some of the things he says when he gets angry can be very insulting, and I am considering filing a report with the dmv for his behavior.

He clearly has favorites with his student drivers. He also make hand signals to tell students how to correct their driving, which is very distracting, as watching his hand signals takes one's eyes of the road. While my time learning with the assistant instructor was fairly pleasant and helped my skills, looking back if I knew what the actual licensing sessions were going to be like, I probably would've just taken the regular dmv-administered test. Sign up for driving lessons and to get driving hours, but you'll want to leave the actual licensing to the dmv.

I'm usually nice about reviewing, but this really made me upset. I called this guy at this driving school, and set up a time for him to pick me up so I could learn how to drive, right? So I wait for him, but he's about 30 minutes late, so I call the guy. He says he'll call me back when he's near my house, but even after an hour later, he's lost!

He asks me for directions, then later, tells me to walk to the spot where he is so he can pick me up. I just got pissed off and canceled the whole thing. Thank goodness I didn't pay in advance! Oh yeah, the driving school is only 1.1 miles away from where I live.about 4 minutes, according to maps.yahoo.com. My gosh!
