They have been amazingly helpful and helped me get my license despite of my initial anxiety with driving. They have great instructors who can give calm and direct instruction. I have already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so. If they can teach me to be a safe driver I believe they can teach anyone who is patient and open to learning. This has been a huge part of my life and moving forward and I am entirely grateful for this experience. Thank you again Richard for all the time you have put in molding me into a better driver!

Always felt safe and comfortable. Instructor Richard was calm even in some dicey situations. If I was going to do this again, would definitely choose PremierDS.

Smooth experience! My instructor (Richard) was very professional and he was always patient and nice. Thanks to his excellent teaching and his adaptable schedule, I learned to drive and passed the test with a very reasonable budget and in a short time window. His advices sometimes have implications way beyond the road for those who listen : ) Read Less

I had an EXCELLENT experience with instructor Richard and Premier Driving! Richard was always positive, very patient and explained driving situations and scenarios in a way I could understand and immediately apply. He also gave me room to develop autonomy in my driving while feeling safe at all times. Thank you SO much Richard for helping me overcome my fear of driving and for giving me tips not only for the test but for the road too!! Definitely recommend Premier Driving school, Michelle was also wonderful in scheduling my lessons to work with a busy Stanford schedule. If you are looking for a school with a professional attitude, an effective teaching method and awesome people, Premier Driving is the place to go! Read Less

We heard about Premiere Driving School from a Yelp Review written by a friend.  I have twins and so needed to schedule our lessons together.  Andrea was very helpful and anwered all our questions initially.  She explained the 3 lesson plans and timeline.  I set the first lesson with Richard and he arrived on time and was very helpful.  The girls loved his gentle unflappable manner and he was very good about giving us feedback on what to work on before the next lesson.  After our third lesson we went to our DMV tests on consecutive days and both girls passed!  Thank you Richard and thank you Premiere!

Richard was very patient and was on time, but he missed emphasizing some key features which caused my daughter to lose some points during her test.  Michelle also gave me some bad advise on the choice of DMV's. They are bit overwhelmed because they are getting customers from Stanford driving school, which closed down, but I will not be using them again. Read Less

After a bad experience with Stanford Driving School which went bust in the midst of my son's training, Richard was a breath of fresh air. He was excellent to work with. My son enjoyed his instruction and did well in his DMV road test. I just loved that he gave my son a quick reminder course immediately before the test and stayed with him while he took the test and then drove my son home with his new license in tow. :) Read Less

Both of our kids learned to drive through Premier Driving School and they were able to successfully pass their driver's license exams on the first try.  Richard was the on the road instructor for both of them and he always gave us a clear and concise evaluation of the lesson and told us what they did well and what we should work on with them.  He used a Toyota Corolla and a Prius both of which looked to be safe and in excellent condition.  We called to set up the initial driving lessons and after that did everything by email, though Michelle called the kids and gave them 3-4 dates and times to pick from to schedule the next one.All in all it was a smooth and successful experience and we have recommended them to many of our friends.
