Five Star Driving School - San Diego, California

Both of my kids took driving classes from Sam and passed on the first try. Sam is a great driving coach. When the class is scheduled he comes on time. He thinks through the program for each class. 3 classes was enough for both of my kids. We did them with intervals to give each child enough time to practice in between.
Sam cheered them on even the day of the test. My daughter did 0 mistakes. Sam is very trustworthy. Highly recommend the school and the teacher.

I had instructor Samim Zamen, he was phenomenal, I aced my driving test large part due to his preparations, he was always calm and in control, but also very helpful in getting you to do as much of the work as possible; I’d totally recommend this company for a deeper instructional experience!

Great Driving lesson for taking Behind. The wheel exam. I take my mom for a driving lesson, My mom was very nervous and she doesn't speak English, He explained everything very clearly to her, He is very patient and nice and explained every step clearly. He gave my mom lots of tips for taking the exams. My mom passed on the first try after taking the 2-hour driving test with Five Star Driving School, I would definitely recommend it. It's worth money and has great value.

I’m a 22 year old woman who had 0 driving experience before this year, I never thought I’d be really able to handle the road confidently due to a fear of driving. But my instructor was great and patient with me for my entire lesson plan, showing me all the little things I needed to do and even running me through all the possible drivers routes before my test.

It’s thanks to him that I passed my exam the first time through and now I feel confident to drive around main roads safely!

This review is long over due but if you are looking for an exceptional driving instructor for your young teen, give this school a call and ask for Sam. I researched so many driving schools, and read about instructors and Sam clearly stood out in terms of the feedback and accolades he was getting. From the very first time meeting in person, Sam came across as very likable, approachable, and instructor with complete control. Taking young teens in your car is no joke but he does that complete ease and confidence. That demeanor actually helps learning students too. I also found his approach very methodical in terms of how to go from simple maneuvers to more advanced one. We were so happy that we took additional lessons for my daughter, and it was totally worth it. My daughter got her driver's license in her first attempt, and we can attribute most of that to Sam! I would recommend Sam to everyone who is looking for a great driving instructor.

Samim was an amazing driving instructor. He was very patient and understanding of my driving anxiety. I passed my drivers test my first try after 3 appointments with Samim! 10/10 recommend learning with this company.
