Jumpstart Driving School

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!

My instructor was Max, and I have been practicing with him for almost 10 sessions! He is very nice and professional. He is also very patient too. I also book the session for him to take me to take the test, and I think that makes a huge difference. He took me to practice before the test, and that helped me feel more confident. I practiced with a lot of instructors in the Bay Area, and I think he is the best!

I took 4 sessions and a test day assist course with Max and passed the driving test. He helped me gain a lot of confidence in driving and made sure to provide feedback at the end of each class so that I understand my progress and area of improvements.Overall I'm very satisfied with my experience and would definitely recommend him to any new drivers.

Wonderful experience taking lessons with Max. He was very respectful and prepared me for exactly what was needed for the test. Importantly, I got the confidence to drive on the busy California streets. I also did a pre-test lesson with Mahasty and her tips for the exam were super useful to calm down the nerves! I passed my test on the first attempt with very few errors. Overall, I'd strongly recommend JumpStart Driving School if you're in the South Bay.

Max was incredibly flexible and helpful in getting us an appointment scheduled when all the other schools were backed up and unwilling to help. He has been on time, easy to work with and best of all, my son just loves him. He comes home laughing and happy and says he's learning so much. Also, the price is right! We will definitely be using JumpStart for our other children as well. Highly recommend!

I signed my daughter up with this driving school based on the Yelp reviews and was delighted with their service. I chose the 10 lesson package to give me peace of mind she'd have professional instruction (and didn't pick up any bad habits I have, which are numerous). Her instructor was Mahasty, who my daughter got on incredibly well with, she really enjoyed all her lessons and there was great continuity. They took care of her on the day of her test and all the paperwork required afterwards, she was then dropped off at home with her pass certificate! They also have safety protocols in place when instructing. A great experience!

My son immediately shared that Max was very patient, helpful and sincere. Since he knows what is expected on the DMV test, Max made sure to cover the details of the test during my son's first driving lesson. Further, Max was punctual. He even went out of his way to reschedule an earlier date for our convenience! Moreover, he was completely thorough in ensuring the safety of my son. I could tell right away that he had taken the recommendations from the Center for Disease to heart. Not only was my son's temperature taken before the lesson, but Max took his own temperature as well. Afterward, Max covered the seat with plastic and thoroughly sprayed the inside of the car. Thank You Max for the extra peace of mind and for sparing us of stress. God bless you!
