I had my lesson with Macarena. She was warm and very encouraging, and calmly corrected me when I made a mistake. Even though I had never driven on a highway before, she made me feel confident in driving on the highway and switching lanes. She's knowledgeable about the DMV routes and brought me to them to practice. Plus she gave me a snack! Would definitely recommend.

Passed my California driving test first time with "very good skills" comment from the tester - thanks to Macarena's expert instruction. I've been driving for over 20 years, and had driving instructors in two other countries. Can happily say Macarena was the best of any of them.

Just passed my test today! I had experience driving in a foreign country, took no lessons, and failed the first time. After that, I took classes with Macarena who was amazing and passed. She was great at identifying my mistakes and going through them again and again until I got it right. Highly recommend it!
