My instructor was Tommy and he was amazing. Taught me how to parallel park perfectly and gave me tips on how to pass my test!

Tommy was amazing. He reviewed all the safety steps with me as well as reinforced my confidence and I was no longer nervous for road test. He made comfortable around the wheel. I would highly recommend golden crown driving school and when you go by ask for Tommy.

I had a great experience taking lessons with Tommy. He is friendly and informal, but also highly professional. He evaluates your skills at your first lesson, and then tailors your next ones according to what you need to improve on. I was a new driver, bit I felt comfortable practicing with him within minutes of my first lesson. He is excellent at giving practical advice for the test, such as parking, 3-way tuns, yields, and speed management. I would highly recommend Tommy as an excellent instructor to anyone considering using Golden Crown Driving School.

My Son's Instructor was Tommy he was also my daughter's instructor 3 years ago. We had a great experience both times. He not only teaches safe driving but also gives good tips for passing the exam. We would HIGHLY recommend this school and Tommy to anyone in need of driving lessons.

Great school, I highly recommend it. Tommy did a wonderful job with my daughter. I felt comfortable sending her out alone with him. He was patient and helpful. Taught her things that improved her parallel parking. Today he took her out for an hour lesson and then to her road test. She passed! Thank you!

I bought a package for my 16 year old son for Christmas to do private driving lessons. Our instructor was Tommy. We were a little hesitant having him in a car with someone he didn't know but that changed the minute we met Tommy. He was professional and very welcoming and put our minds to rest straight away. Our son was extremely happy with him and the communication was excellent. Tommy would contact us if their might be a problem with weather or road conditions and was always on time to collect our son from our house.

We had the same instructor each time which I feel is very important and I would most definitely recommend Golden Crown Driving School to parents and friends. My son took his driving test yesterday and passed. Thank you Tommy for building his confidence and making him road worthy.

Tommy was a very good instructor. He made me understand what I was doing wrong and made me feel very confident from the moment I sat in the car. He went through what I needed in order to pass the test and gave me tips on beyond the test as well. Overall he is a great instructor.

Kevin is a great instructor. I had an accident in the past and was afraid to drive for a very long time. Kevin was very patient and gave me great tips which helped me feel confident on the day of the road test. His parking technique was very easy to learn. He speaks Spanish too and that was very helpful for the lessons, but we also practiced in English as the road test approached. I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone who needs to pass the road test

I would highly recommend Craig King and Golden Crown Driving School. Craig was my Son's Instructor and I can't say enough good things about him. He prepares his students for the unexpected and gives students the driving skills essential to become an excellent defensive driver. Craig is a perfectionist and takes pride in making sure that his students are confident drivers. The only problem is that he is so good, it's hard to get an appointment, but the office was always able to accommodate my son. We will miss seeing him on a regular basis!

Tommy was the best instructor! I was very nervous throughout my lessons but he made sure to explain everything to me in detail. Whenever I forgot to do something he would help me correct my mistake and soon enough it became a habit! On the day of the exam I was able to feel super comfortable driving thanks to Tommy! I highly recommend him as an instructor!

Tommy is a great driver instructor for Golden Crown Driving. He gives you great tips and tricks to be a better driver and does a really good job at it. His 3 steps for parallel parking are so easy and I caught on the same day. I have my road test in January and he's been helping me a lot. I most definitely recommend him to be your instructor.

I have taken six classes with Tommy and he has been a great instructor. I had never driven a car before this but Tommy made me feel comfortable and confident as early as the second half of the first lesson. He has a very practical way of teaching that makes learning things like parallel parking easy and intuitive. Highly recommend him!

Here to say Tommy is the absolute best driving instructor. He was patient and reassuring with my teenage daughter, who was very nervous. She passed her driving test on her first try which I knew was going to happen with an instructor like Tommy. If you are in need of a driving instructor I am here to tell you. go with Tommy and Golden Crown Driving School, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be using Tommy to teach my other daughter as well

Tommy is an extraordinary Instructor. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding driving instructor. He was very patient and informative. Tommy helped me to become a comfortable driver and made sure I knew how to correct my mistakes. During my lessons, we reviewed rules of the road, parallel parking, practical driving scenarios and essentials for the road test.

I was provided with the necessities to become a safe, responsible, and alert driver. Both my sister and I had Tommy as a driving Instructor and we would rate him a top notch Instructor. Many thanks for your guidance! We passed our road test!

I had a great experience with my instructor Craig at Golden Crown Driving School. I wouldn't have gotten my license without him, so thank you Craig! You over-prepare your students and that is why you're great at what you do. Thanks again.

Wilson was a great driving instructor! He was definitely calming and reassuring, knew exactly what he was doing, and made sure I knew my mistakes so I could correct them! Very glad to have been able to have him as my instructor! With his help I was able to pass my drivers test! I came in very nervous but he made sure to answer all my questions and go over all techniques with me! Wilson definitely knows what he is doing and is extremely good at his job :
