I recently passed my driving test, and I can’t recommend Mani Namazi highly enough as a driving instructor. From the moment I started my lessons, Mani made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. He has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease, which was a huge help in overcoming any nervousness I had.

Mani’s approach is both professional and personable. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always offering helpful tips and encouragement. Beyond his excellent teaching skills, Mani is just a great guy to talk to. He has a fantastic sense of humor and makes each lesson engaging and fun, which definitely helps in making the process less tedious.

If you’re looking for a driving instructor who combines expertise with a laid-back and friendly demeanor, Mani is the perfect choice. He’s genuinely the best instructor I could have asked for and played a crucial role in helping me get my license. Thanks, Mani, for all your support and for making my driving journey a positive experience!

We were very fortunate to use Mani Namazi of Cantor's for all three of our new teen drivers. Each one of them passed on their first time testing.
He was very patient and gave LOTS of positive feedback and suggestions. Mani also met with us after the lessons to give us the feedback necessary to help them pass their test.
We would highly recommend using Mani!!!

I did a few lessons of this driving school over a year ago and never wrote a review, but came back to write one because I was so pleased. My instructor was Mani. Mani was AMAZING. So patient and kind. His energy was so positive. I was 20 or 21 then, so I was a little old to learn to drive because I had a huge fear. I had a ton of anxiety around driving. Mani was incredibly understanding and let me go at my own pace. I don’t think I could be where I am today without him! Thank you to Mani and this driving school for helping me with such an important part of my life!

I passed my behind-the-wheel driving test on my first attempt! I was not happy with other driving schools before finding Cantors Driving School.

Instructor Mani is patient, kind and provided very detailed tools to feel comfortable behind the wheel. I needed positive vibes, encouragement and support. Of course, I also had to practice constantly with family in addition to my scheduled driving classes.

I recommend Cantors Driving School!

Thank you.

I had the 3 lessons package and choose to do them with Shannon after seeing only positive reviews. She was always on time and communicative. I thought I would feel nervous driving, however Shannon was helpful and would give me feedback after each lesson. She would take her time to make sure I understood how to park and drive in traffic. I went on the freeway in my last lesson and honestly felt confident with my driving skills. I can’t recommend Shannon enough. I even passed my behind the wheel test on my first try.

I highly recommend Mani Namazi for driving instruction. He did a great job teaching my daughter how to drive in a relaxed, encouraging manner that created a no pressure learning environment for her. He taught her all the necessary skills required for passing her test first time round. He was extremely reliable and a great communicator. Thank you so much Mani! You’re the best!

We have had an excellent experience with Cantor’s Driving School, specifically with my son’s instructor, Maní Namazi. Maní has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my son’s learning process. His calm demeanor and clear instructions have made my son feel confident and at ease behind the wheel. Maní is always punctual and professional, and his teaching methods are highly effective. My son is making great progress and is well on his way to becoming a safe and skilled driver. I highly recommend Cantor’s Driving School and Maní Namazi to anyone looking for top-notch driving instruction. Thank you, Maní, for your dedication and support!

Mani Namazi is the best instructor for my first time doing driving school. He is extremely professional and lets you know what you did wrong in a calmy and professional manner. If you're in OC and want to learn to drive, Mani is the instructor to choose
