Great Driving School

by karla_review

Ann's Driving School One day my driver didnt come and I had to go to my College. I asked my brother who said he was very busy, Next day I had to go for shopping and still nobody had the time to leave me. It irritated me no end. I decided Ive had it enough. I will learn to drive myself. Then I took admission in Anns driving school. I got Judy as my trainer who, after a short orientation session, will make you drive for your entire lesson. Right now, I feel pretty accomplished at having driven down the Great Highway, through the western part of the Presidio, down Arguello, learned 3 point turns, through the Outer Richmond and to my place in the Haight. I've even done some parallel parking! My right turns need work but I feel very confident that they'll only get better. Now I dont have to ask anyone, I can go anywhere I like but I have promised myself never to be too arrogant to help. Thanks Judy.

Top Notch Driving School!

by LaraMichelle

I investigated numerous schools and there was something about Ann's parallel parking instructions on their website that said to me, "These folks know what they are doing." They are not cheap, but my selection did prove that you get what you pay for. They are quality.

They are a professional operation that returns all phone calls within a day, is on time for all appointments, and provides clean, unmarked vehicles in which the only clue that they are for student drivers is the gas and brake pedals on the passenger's side.

Joe was my instructor and that guy could probably teach my dog to drive. His patience and gentle guidance instantly undid all the confusion and frustration my friends had created whilst driving under their tutelage. He not only taught me the rules of driving, but really made them make sense by explaining the hows AND they whys, not just the former. The methods he utilizes make driving seem fun, safe, and easy, so much so that at times I wondered if he was secretly waving a magic driver wand over me. Reality reveals that it's simply his experience, talent, and people skills. His friendly, jovial nature halved, in the least, my "test anxiety." Joe is one of the top 3 most comprehensive instructors I have ever experienced, and just as sweet as one of the others, my 5th grade English teacher, Sister Alice. He never once made me feel remotely uncomfortable for any of my mistakes throughout the learning process - which wasn't a long one, something that I attribute more to him than to myself.

I'm off to pop some champagne with the aforementioned friends now, as this morning I passed my driving test with flying colors. Move over Danica Patrick, I'm legal now!
