Jumpstart Driving School

I would definitely recommend to any new drivers. I took multiple lessons with Max with barely any previous driving experience and with his guidance I was able to pass my test first try. He is very patient, detail-oriented, and funny! I was very anxious to start driving but with time I became more comfortable and confident after taking lessons with this school.

I am happy to recommend and share my personal experience, I chose to take several lessons with Max. At first I tried a one-time lesson and then I reserved a lesson package plus a pre dmv test lesson. During the lessons I gained confidence and on the day of the test I arrived calm knowing that he was with me and understood the DMV registration process and it took the pressure off me. Max is very nice, explaining and patient. I recommend without thinking twice. By the way, I passed the test on the first try

I took lessons from Max, who was incredibly patient and answered every question I had. In my opinion, he's one of the best instructors in the Bay Area. He instills safe driving practices, ensuring you not only perform well on your test but also drive safely in everyday life. I had previously tried a few instructors, but unfortunately, they were either too discouraging or rude. Max made the whole experience of learning to drive enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn driving the right way while also having fun.

Thank you Jumpstart, especially one of their instructor, Max!! thank you for being the best!! I was able to pass on my first try so thank you so much!!!

Max is a fantastic driving instructor. Under his guidance I have been able to pass with zero errors, despite last time failing within the first few minutes of the test. I have found him to be much more knowledgeable and helpful than other driving instructors in the area. Max gives clear instructions and knows the rules of the road. I also found the pricing to be very competitive compared with other local companies. Thank you Max!

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Although Max did do a good job when it came down to the driving practice, he made inappropriate and rude comments (political, etc.), which made my child feel extremely uncomfortable. The way he acted was not professional or okay at all, especially for the price you have to pay for each lesson, 175 dollars!

The lady was rude, and said everything I did was wrong. She refused to continue the lesson, and she was saying "No" all the time. Her directions on where to go was very late. I need a better driving teacher that is nice. The lady also rescheduled 30 minutes later.

Great instructors !! Passed on first try for both knowledge and road test. Both Mahasty and Max are very knowledgeable, patient, and good at giving direction.

Mr. Nick is the best driving instructor ever! I had my license but never really drove as I grew up in NYC. When we moved to Massachusetts, it became clear very quickly that I would have to start using my license and relearn how to drive. I was so nervous and had so much anxiety about driving, especially as I will eventually be driving my child around. Mr. Nick was patient and helped me build my confidence. I would recommend him to anyone - especially an adult who is learning to drive or building their driving skills again!

I got the classes from Max and he taught really well. This was my first time driving and I passed the test in first attempt. Max prepared me really well.I would definitely recommend him.

Mahasty was my instructor and she was amazing! She gave me excellent driving lessons and gave me insight on the DMV behind-the-wheel process! I got finally got drivers license!! Thank you so much Mahasty!

Great driving academy helped me pass my test with ease!!! 10/10 I recommend if you are trying to get your license fast

Max's teaching method is very effective. I got useful and specific feedback in all the classes that helped improve my driving ability and build confidence. He provides clear information on all the aspects evaluated in driving test so you can practice with confidence and be ready. My test was early in the morning, so Max mentioned about potential sun rays blocking my view and suggested I take sunglasses along. Without his attention to detail and careful advice, I would have been caught off guard. Thanks Max for helping me learn driving and clear the test! Really appreciate it.

I took one class with Max and he is an excellent instructor. He covered all the basics I need for my driving test. I feel more confident about giving my test. Thank you, Max!

Max was wonderful! He really helped me prepare for my driving test, which I passed on the first try! Thank you Max for all of the helpful tips and insight in making me a better driver! Anca

Max is a great driving instructor. He keeps the student calm and pays attention to weaker areas and makes sure the student is completely prepared for the test. He also knows DMV are really well and can give you good practice before the test. I highly recommend him

I chose Jumpstart Driving School and Max as my instructor based on Yelp reviews. Prior to taking lessons, I had no driving experience and Max was extremely patient in teaching me basic techniques on how to handle a car before we could even start driving on streets. I took about 5 lessons from him, and was able to pass the test in first attempt. At the end of each class, he provided feedback on areas which I need to work on. He was always on time and quite flexible with the schedule. I was really impressed with his integrity of proactively reaching out to me to offer me a refund when I intentionally delayed my classes for about a year and a half due to covid. Would definitely recommend Max as a driving instructor.

This man needs to learn to be professional and not make clients uncomfortable by constantly grabbing the stirring inappropriately; cracking cheap jokes and the list goes on. It was a waste of time and money. I will never recommend this school to anyone.

This is our second time using this school. We came to them when our oldest was driving and was happy with the lessons and the test day service. Now that our youngest is learning, we returned. We've had one session with Max so far and happily purchased the full package (10 hours, plus test day support). I'll post about the lessons and progress after, but wanted to give a quick appreciation. Max is incredibly booked - we didn't find out until after we scheduled the DMV test that there were no calendar appointments on the days leading to it. We rescheduled the test then contacted Max. He added us to the calendar for days that were not yet available to book. And of course, since that happened months ago, our schedules completely changed with the school year started. I reached out again, and Max was so accommodating to fit us in, even though they were fully booked. It's so amazing to have this support as everything else around us seems so unpredictable!

This is long overdue. I took a lesson with Max over 2 years ago and I passed my driving test on the second try after like 6 hours with him in total. He drove me back and forth from both my first and second test and was really patient throughout the entire test.Although Max's teaching technique was a bit intense, I tend to do much better under pressure and I appreciated his rigor as that was what pushed me to be comfortable behind the wheel! He's been doing this for years, so he knows exactly what the DMV looks for and the common pitfalls people have on the test. I would book him again!
