Edward was great! He was so nice and taught me more in the 4 hours I had with him than my other driver instructor ever did. He got me through my nervousness and got me to pass the first time. My friend recommended me and now I see why. Really great school and would recommend for any student drivers Read Less

Edward was actually really nice, he knew the area pretty well. I learned quite a lot in the 2 hours that I was driving around, and it was a calm experience. He kept a funny conversation going on, which was really cool in my book. I looked at all the negative reviews, and they were from like 19471037103710 years ago... so either he's changed from these bad habits or the people who yelped bad reviews are are pansies. Would recommend again. Read Less

Sunny is a tough woman, very please with the class I took last week, and I felt very comfortable in her class. I learned a few things I didn't know before. We worth the 8 hours. Did not get bored at all. Read Less

It was great. He taught very well and I learned how to drive in just 1 to 2 lessons, each 2 hours long. If you want, he will also take you on the course that you will be tested on depending where you want to take the test. He will also take you to the test area if you want. I liked it. It was a little funny when he would make me stop so he could get coffee though. Read Less

Awesome traffic school, I did my 8 hour traffic school here last Saturday, I didn't feel tired or sleepy at all. Instructor Sunny Wu made us laughing and awake during the entire class, she is very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Unical, this school is a great refresher course for experienced drivers who need to attend traffic school as well as excellent for people learning how to drive to prepare to get their license.

Comment on the traffic school - UniCal offers traffic school on Saturdays,  alternative every other week in English and in Mandarin. The class is much better than the boring online or home study programs I previously took for my last ticket.Ms. Sunny Wu,  is a seasoned instructor with decades of experience in teaching traffic school.  She was a court interpreter so she knows a lot about traffic court as well.  She gave a lot of real cases as examples in her lecture.  We watched a video. We had Q&A. No boring moment at all. The class was informative and fun. That 8 hours went by fast. Following completion of the class,  Ms. Wu took care of the ticket dismissal process for every student for free and emailed  the ticket cancellation confirmation to her students. That saved everyone a trip to the court.  The service is excellent ! Read Less

I have called many traffic school,Unical traffic s the most friendly and efficient one. The staff picked up my call right away and answer all my questions patiently. They also offer me coupon discount. Mr. Wu is my intructor. He is a very experience driving instructor. His instructions are clear and easy to pick up. After I finish the package, 3 lessons, I pass my driving test and get my license. Thank you Mr. Wu for his professional instruction. I definately recommend UNICAL traffic school to my friends.

Instructor Edward Wu is the best driving Instructor ! At first , i was really scared in driving , but Instructor Wu is very paitient and nice . He taught me everything that i need to know , After a few Lesson , I pass my driving test in DMV ! and i am not scared of driving anymore ! Read Less

Edward is a wonderful driving instructor! While driving, he always comments on how I am driving and gives me tips on how to improve my skills. If you are rusty on something, he helps you out by talking you through it first and then teaches you how to do it correct. He never gets frustrated or upset if you do something wrong but instead is very patient and continues to explain to you what the proper technique should have been. Overall, my experience with Edward was excellent and would recommend him to anyone who is planning on learning how to drive because he teaches you how to drive safety and how to pass the driving test.

Really nice driving school around SGV. On time service and the instructors are nice. If you are looking for an instructor i recommend Edward Wu. He is always on time with my appointments, and teaches you the basics to driving. Read Less

I am an older "yelp-er" who doesn't normally post..... But this business really deserves this post:If you are looking for a traffic school that directs this boring mundane subject to the interesting side this is your place. Sunny kept it light and yet still educational to our everyday actions. She, also, approaches driving with the safety and cost aspects of our driving decisions.In a nutshell, if you must attend traffic school and don't want to feel like you have lost 8 hrs. Of your life, I would attend class here.Thank you for interesting points Sunny. Read Less

Word of advice before you consider this traffic school CALL IN ADVANCE to see if the class is going to be taught in either ENGLISH or CHINESE! Apparently I accidentally went on a Chinese day and Sunny had to teach a slightly longer Bilingual class. Anyways as for the school itself it is actually very educational. And I can honestly say  I did learn A LOT. Sunny did a great job of telling us what we should and should not be doing while behind the wheel. She really did her best to make sure everyone was on the same page and gave us plenty of helpful advice. The class time went by fairly quickly and it was pretty fun ... for traffic school hahah.

Sunny is the best! She makes class so much fun! She is really knowledgeable and you will be glad you went there. I learned a lot. Hopefully I won't have to attend again but if I have to, I will come back here.  Highly recommended! Read Less

SHORT VERSION: If you wish to pass the driving test, I'd recommend Viva driving school in Pasadena. They will teach you everything you need to know about what the DMV will expect. If you wish for a cheap driving school, this school will do $60 per 2-hr session but you won't learn as much and you will probably get a lot of errors during the driving test.LONG VERSION:The overview of my scenario: I took two 2-hour driving sessions with 'Unical Driving School' and a 1-hour driving session + DMV servicing with another school called 'Viva Driving School'.4 NOV 2013: Called to schedule my appointment, and the receptionist who I talked to wasn't rude, but didn't explain to me much about their programs either. All she said was "$60 for 2 hours". I made an appointment anyway because it was VERY cheap compared to other schools.6 NOV 2013: It was the day of my appointment. The instructor  was supposed to be here at 1:45pm, but he (Edward Wu) came 10 minutes late. He was very nice, so I decided not to mark him for being late. I told him it was my first time driving, so he drove around for 15 minutes, but he didn't really teach me anything while he was driving. It was my turn to drive, and I did "pretty well for a first time driver" (in the words of Mr. Wu). We drove around Monterey Park, and occasionally, he would tell me to slow down when no cars were around, and then tell me to speed up when cars started to line up behind me. It got pretty annoying. Occasionally, he would go on his phone and not really pay attention to how I was driving. At the end of the lesson, he wanted me to schedule another appointment, and I did it (which I knew I would regret) because I felt like I didn't really learn anything.7 NOV 2013: This time, he was 20 minutes late... minus one star. He taught me how to change lanes, which was great, but he did the same thing as he did yesterday (telling me to slow down and speed up)... minus another star. That's all he taught me for that day... Same thing as yesterday, he was on his cellphone, plus, he would occasionally yawn. He wanted me to schedule another appointment, and that's when I felt that he was doing that on purpose to make more money.12 NOV 2013: This was the day I had my DMV driving test. I decided to try 'Viva Driving School' in Pasadena because they had a special package where they do DMV Servicing (they take you to the DMV at the day of your test, and let you use their car to take the test) plus a 1-hr driving session prior to the test. They taught me a lot about what was expected on the test, things that weren't discussed from 'Unical Driving School'... minus TWO stars. I learned WAY more in 1 hour with 'Viva Driving School' than I did in 4 hours with this school. Read Less

Just got off the phone and the lady who answered was very nice and patient in answering my questions and helped me figure out my eligibility and gave me tips in how to go to court and inquire about my case.If I'm granted eligibility to attend traffic school, this would be the school I'd go to.

5 star reviews? What planet are you all on... this Edward guy was not only a horrible instructor he is one of the worst human beings I have ever met. Helen D. and Tom W. are 100% correct1) He makes you drive at exactly 5 mph slower than the posted speed limit, and if you deviate a tiny bit he will yell "SLOW DOWN" or "SPEED UP" at you. A hilarious moment was when I was going 30mph on a six lane street with 1000 feet of open space ahead and a car tailgating me and he says I'm going too fast, TOO FAST TOO FAST SLOW DOWN2) It was my first time driving a car, he gave no advice at all, just silence punctuated by random yelling when I am trying to figure out by myself how to properly turn. "ARE YOU TRYING TO CAUSE A COLLISION" he yells. No, screw you sir, it's my first time driving, maybe you can actually give some tips, or just shut up.3) He will make you pull over at a donut shop to get some nasty 75 cent coffee, which he will then breathe onto you as he yells or spray onto you with his chronic cough. Then the coffee will inevitably cause him to make you pull over at a public restroom.4) Get used to listening to Chinese language radio for hours, he will occasionally sing along or do weird flailing arm calisthenics in the passenger seatAll these 5 star reviews must have been from people he paid off or his family. He was completely impatient and unprofessional, expects first time drivers to drive like pros and yells when they don't, and is just generally a jerk.TL;DRIf you like being yelled at and belittled, and getting dank coffee breath ejected at you, and listening to a 50-year old virgin Asian guy singing along to Chinese radio for six hours... then go get yourself checked out by a psychiatrist. Just please don't waste your money here. Read Less
