Terrible experience. Would give 0 stars if I could. I paid for 3 driving lessons and got 2. I am a very understanding and tolerable person but I've had red flags from the start. "Martha" hasn't been on time for any of my lessons. And each driving lesson I've had, she takes more than a 10 minute bathroom/Starbucks break and doesn't extend the 2 hour lessons, so it's cut short. She's very disorganized, papers scrambled all over the car and her way of "organizing" is gathering all of the papers and putting them on a clipboard. At one point she couldn't find my permit. She also took the time to answer a phone call with another driving instructor to give advice. Why waste a student's time and stop on the side of the road, if the person you're calling is supposed to be a QUALIFIED driving instructor?? I was supposed to have a lesson last week, but she canceled and called in sick 4 minutes before my lesson was about to start! Unbelievable. I just let it pass, and rescheduled to get the last lesson over with. Today I was supposed to take the 3rd (last lesson) since she called in sick to the last one. She came 45 MINUTES LATE and said she stopped  for a bathroom break. I confronted her and told her that all of this behavior has been unacceptable. She wouldn't allow me to get any means of a refund and had the audacity to say that I shouldn't have waited 45 minutes outside. How would I know? She told me it would be a 10 minute wait. She has no respect for anyone's time. Definitely check out other driving schools, unless you want to waste your time AND money here. I thought her name was Elvira this whole time, and it wasn't until I asked for a refund when she corrected me. Here's our texts and the voicemail she sent me 4 minutes before my 10am lesson. What a mess. Read Less

Martha does not have the skill to teach you anything special about driving. She should not even be allowed to own a business. She will quote you at a certain price on the phone, Then wait until she is done "teaching" her lesson to try and charge you double. She told me that I should have known how much it was because it was clearly on her website and proceeded to argue with me in a very aggressive manor. Instead of de-escalating the situation like any normal business owner, she just screamed and acted like a child and continued trying to bait me into arguing with her. I remained calm and exited the vehicle. I just wanted to warn people that if you purchase services with Martha and end up needing a refund, you will have to get a lawyer in order to get your money back. Read Less

HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDEDTheir service is honestly the worst I have ever experienced from any driving instruction school. On the website, the contacts provided tells you that there are 2 phone numbers and a text number. The text number goes directly to one of their instructors named Martha. She really is not the best communicator because she makes a lot of assumptions, is not the best listener, and is not organized. She had red flags from the start. First, it was really hard to set up a time for the lesson, because communicating a good time with her was super inefficient since she would send 2 random times first and then proceed to ask what time works for you. Then on the day of the scheduled lesson, she was 2 hours late and I had to contact her first to figure out what was going on. She blamed the front office, but that was not understandable since I contacted her directly. During the lesson, she was very disorganized as she was constantly looking for her stuff and she seemed like she had other agendas on her mind cause while I was trying to follow what she was telling me to do, she would also plug how she will teach anyone, her experience, and asking me about my younger brother. Like hello, I am your current student  She had me stop for her to go to the restroom costing me 20 minutes of my lesson time, since we left at 5PM and came back at 7PM. Right at the end is when she says "I need $110 for this single lesson." That's when I caught on she did not understand that I wanted the promo. I told her that there was a misunderstanding, and her response was to pay her now and call the office tomorrow to fix this (She assured me it could be fixed).She had texted me that there was a promo for the Riverside area where you could get 6 hours behind the wheel for $249. I had confirmed that this was the deal I wanted, but she had somehow confused me wanting the promo with only wanting a single lesson. All she told me was that it would be $110 for the first lesson. I thought she was telling me to pay in payments, but it was actually a misunderstanding. When I called the main office, the girl over the phone told me there was nothing that could be done because I was enrolled for single lessons and I was constantly told that the website establishes that once enrolled, you cannot change it. I had another lesson scheduled right after this. Right before the scheduled time, Martha called me and asked me if I was still doing the lesson. She then proceeds to tell me the fix cannot be done because on the website, it says so. I reminded her of what she had previously said to me, and for about 20 minutes, she continuously tried to convince me she did not say it could be fixed and that she was right. I genuinely tried to work it out with her but her responses kept revolving around it being completely on me, that she needs to pay for bills, and finally came to telling me to find somewhere else cause they are cheaper. The whole reason I contacted this place was because they had the best price deal. As a working girl, I understand the hustle to pay the bills, but if this was just a service as she kept telling me, it was not good, and I'm upset my money I earned from my minimum wage job went to this.This review is one of the longest I have ever written, but it was necessary to express my frustration with a place that cost me my hard earned money from bad communication. From seeing other reviews, it is very clear that Martha is caring and can teach, but you also have to take into consideration that she is not a great communicator, disorganized, and her lessons are only effective if you are aware of what you need to work on. None of the staff is great at communication actually. This place just really needs to take the time to work on their business end, so if you want effective and efficient instruction for a good deal, this is not the place to go. Read Less

Martha is a wonderful driving instructor. She has provided me with the necessary constructive feedback to become a better and safer driver. She is also very understanding and patient. Her motto that "anyone can learn to drive" is also very encouraging and motivating. She emphasizes the idea that anyone can learn to drive. One just needs the will and the practice. Martha will help you a lot throughout your lessons. I definitely recommend her driving lessons to any new drivers and/or to drivers who need a refresher. Read Less

I had Martha as a driver, she was great and made me feel more confident about taking my test! She was very clear and she even had notes to help. She made me very comfortable and I definitely recomend her! Read Less

I called to schedule a 2 hour driving lesson, and for a car rental on the day of my driving test. Everything was settled and paid for over the phone, and I was told that I would be picked up 1 hour before my driving test, which was also what their website states. The day of my driving test, which was scheduled for 3:40PM, I was expecting to be picked up by my instructor, Martha, at 2:40 like we had agreed. When it was 2:50, Martha still hadn't arrived so I called them. The lady who answered told me Martha was on her way. By 3, Martha STILL didn't show up, so I called again and Martha then told me someone else would be getting me and that she was around the corner. At 3:15, someone finally arrived (I think her name was Alejandra), and she even said herself that she didn't know what was going on, and that she was just told last minute to come pick up a student and take me to the DMV, which by the way, she had never done before. ALSO, she didn't even bring her license and only had her permit on her, so she had to call Martha and tell her to meet us at the DMV because the DMV needs the instructor's license since I'm borrowing their car. At this point, I'm extremely nervous and worried that I'll be late, which is NOT how I should be feeling before my driving test. Once we get to the DMV at 3:35, I check in and thank goodness made it on time. While we were waiting, I asked Martha why she was 45 minutes late picking me up, and she kept dodging my question by saying things like "The reason we schedule early pick ups is so that you have time to check in at the DMV" and "But you're here on time right?" YES, an early pick up was scheduled for 2:40, but no one arrived until 3:15, and honestly if I hadn't called I don't think they even remembered that I was scheduled for that day! Everything was very unprofessional. As for the driving lesson with Martha, I thought it was mediocre. I didn't feel like I learned anything from her, and she was pretty disorganized. She also seemed nervous during our lesson, which made ME nervous.I DO NOT recommend this driving school!!!! Read Less

First of all, I was quoted over the phone a specific amount. When the lady came to pick up my son, she tried to add tax. I asked her why is she charging me tax? She told me, she has to pay taxes. Anyways, I don't think it is legal to charge tax for a service, but if someone can prove me wrong, please let me know. She opted to not charge me tax to keep my business. My son told me, that she would have him stop the car so she could talk on her cell phone. I managed to avoid her tax, but not her phone bill. The second time my son was picked up, it was a young man. When my son came back, the trainer told me that he didn't feel he had the experience to teach my son. My advice is do your homework, pay a little more and get a professional to teach your loved ones. I am a professional driver by trade and didn't care for some of the things that was being taught. All in all, I was paying Aery driving school to sign my son off for the 6 hour mandatory training and we did get that. But, if I had to do it all over again, I would definately hire someone else. Good luck! Read Less

Steer clear of this company.  We paid for 10 hours, Martha showed up, took our money and provide a "2 hour" class which was cut short because she needed to fill out paperwork?? Then she was a no-show, no-call twice!  We had to file a grievance with our bank to get our money back. Avoid Martha like the plague. Read Less

Steer clear of this driving school. They were quick to take our money provided one lesson then they were no call-no show twice. We had to file a grievance with our bank to get our money back. Unbelievable! Read Less

Great business to boost your confidence in yourself and driving in the streets. With the right attitude and desire for learning how to drive, you will be ready to Ace your behind the wheel test at the Dmv. I would recommend Luis as an instructor for he gives you clear instructions of what us expected and will help you improve. Martha is good as well, even though her English isn't the best she's great at giving you street knowledge if you do not have the knowledge, she'll be sure you have it. Thanks Aery and a special thanks again to Luis. We passed man 😎 Read Less

Aery driving school goes over all the basics and teaches you to not only pass the driving test, but be a safe driver. Even after one lesson you will learn a lot. The instructor, Martha, is a very nice person and is great at what she does. Highly recommend. Read Less

I had tried learning to drive from my parents and friends but I would always get very nervous and overwhelmed. I had my first lesson today with Martha and the difference was incredible! She was very calm and gave easy to understand instructions. I already feel more confident in driving and look forward to my next lesson! Read Less

I am a late driver! I am 21 years old,got behind the wheel for the first time with her! She helps you get comfortable and not only teach you to drive but follow the rules of the road! She will review, draw, and reasure that you are getting the information!!! Martha was an excellent teacher and shows you how to be a great driver so that your driving is "sweet" !! Read Less

Very much enjoyed my experience with Aery driving. Martha, my instructor was extremely sweet and made sure that I was comfortable in every lesson. Throughout the lessons, she made sure to go very in-depth with everything I would need to do to pass the test. Not once did she scold or get angry over mistakes that I made and rather reassured me that I was doing fine. She is the type of instructor to talk and draw out diagrams including everything you need to do to pass the driving test. Extremely informative, all the tips stick with you on the long run. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a well advised instructor. Read Less

I got my lessons very quickly and they even worked with my schedule so I could have them in consecutive order. My instructor was very nice and very thorough. She went above and beyond to teach me what I needed to know so I could be a good driver. Definitely worth the time and money. Read Less
