Mark, a founder of Primo Driving Schools, is an excellent driving instructor and a very kindhearted person. After taking 8 classes with Mark, I passed my driving test from the first attempt!
Before buying a package of classes, I did some research on yelp and called a few other driving schools in my neighborhood in order to compare prices and services. Prices for packages are pretty much the same in every school. Mark was very polite and personal on the phone. It sounded like he really cared about me as a person and not just another client. That's why I chose him, and now I'm so happy to have done it!
Every class he taught me new skills and took me to new places, including Downtown and Silver Lake. I knew I probably wouldn't need it for a test, but I will definitely need to know how to drive on a freeway, how to merge into a fast-moving traffic and to get out of it safely. Moreover, Downtown LA has many one way streets and it is important to know how to get around such an area. Last 2 lessons were dedicated to preparing me for a test in Santa Monica DMV per se.
Mark was flexible with his schedule, and didn't hesitate to sacrifice a few Saturday afternoons for our classes. Moreover, he was punctual and always let me know when he arrived. While driving, he would always comment on my pluses and minuses, but in a very respectful and encouraging manner. I constantly felt his guidance, support and attention. Mark definitely instilled confidence in me as a driver, which I lacked when we started our classes.
To sum up, I HIGHLY recommend Primo Driving Schools!!! THANK YOU MARK!
