Premier Driving School - Sunnyvale, California

Aditya Gawali

I choose Premier Driving School for my Driving lessons and DMV test, and I had a very positive experience right from scheduling the lessons to attending my driving test( and passing on first try).

Richard was an excellent driving instructor. He was very patient and knowledgeable, explaining everything clearly and concisely. He helped me identify areas where I needed improvement and provided me with valuable tips and techniques to practice. I felt comfortable and at ease with him, and his calm demeanor made learning to drive a stress-free experience. Additionally, he was incredibly supportive and helpful when I took my driving test at the DMV. I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!

I took several lessons with Premier Driving School, and Richard was my instructor. I highly recommend talking lessons with Richard! He is extremely detail-oriented, professional, calm, gives clear feedback, and is willing to work with you until you feel confident and safe. Every time I took a class with Richard and then drove independently, I would feel more confident each time. Richard has a great teaching structure and knows how to build things up gradually.
They are always booked in advance, but the wait time is worth it! Thank you, Richard, for all your hard work and patience.

The best driving instructor ever one can have. Richard is the best!! He keeps you calm and composed throughout the driving lesson. Even if you are a beginner, he will keep you composed and go through the basics to get the best out of you.

I had some prior driving experience but driving anxiety and prior bad experiences with grumpy driving instructors made me nervous. With Richard, he kept me confident and whenever I made any mistakes, we would discuss it.

I passed my Behind the Wheel Test in the first attempt all thanks to him. He is pretty busy so it’s better to call a month in advance and book your dates with him.

Highly recommend this school. Very organized and professional. I contacted Premier Driving School for my wife's driving lessons. She being a new driver with no driving experience was very nervous about driving but she was able to pass the test in the first attempt.

Richard is a great instructor and very polite. He is patient and very helpful. Definitely helped my wife to gain confidence behind the wheel. We also spoke with Andrea and she also has been really helpful and prompt in answering our questions and scheduling appointments for the driving lessons.

They usually are booked at least a month in advance, you might want to plan the lessons ahead. But they are definitely worth it.

Like many others have shared, Richard is an amazing driving instructor to learn driving with! His guidance is straightforward and effective, which makes each lesson very worthwhile. We also benefited from the driving school's drive test package, where Richard accompanied me to take the road test (he stepped out of the car when I took the test itself). Navigating the DMV is a stressor for me, so having someone who knows how the road test goes was a big weight off my chest. I was pretty nervous going into the test, but through conversation with Richard during the wait for my turn, I definitely relaxed a lot, and by the time it was my turn to test, I felt grounded. Highly suggest this driving school and Richard 🙂

We will be signing our son up here. Richard was super helpful explaining the process and taking time with me on the phone. Feel reassured that my young driver will be in good hands.
UPDATE: Both my boys now, 3 years later, have gone through driving with Richard. He's on time, a great mentor and my boys both enjoyed driving with him and learning the ropes. Highly recommend. 5+ stars!

This driving school is well organized and responsive. Instructor Richard is amazing.
He is reassuring, patient and also guides the lessons with what the student sometimes needs simply needs to experience. Great instructor for adult learners too!

I had a great time learning how to drive and I passed my test on the first try.

I highly recommend both Premier driving school and specifically Richard.

I feel like Richard is one of the people that found what it is they were meant to do - which is to teach.

Apart from being a very nice, calm, and considering instructor, he made sure to always share his knowledge with me. Even as an experienced driver, I feel like each time with Richard was accompanied with tips that were worth their weight in gold, and were definitely the main reason I passed my driving test on the first attempt.

I undoubtedly recommend Richard to any driver with any level of experience.
