Rivadavia Driving School

Gaetano Barreca

I passed my driving test in the San Francisco DMV on the first try! The school's hybrid car is in impeccable condition, clean, and comfortable. I had my first lesson with a lovely instructor, Javier. Even if I was nervous when we started driving, Javier was calm and gave me confidence. His instructions were like a mantra that I repeated in my mind during the driving exam. I took my driving test in San Francisco on Wednesday at noon; Two hours before the appointment for the behind-the-wheel exam, Jan Carlos came to pick me up at mine, and we did a bit of practice. Everyone was friendly at the DMV in San Francisco, and the examiner was clear about the direction. Jan Carlos is also a great guy, supportive and friendly. Also, the lady I spoke with on the phone, Lili, was there to listen to me and help me achieve my goal. I couldn't ask for more. I highly recommend the Rivadavia Driving school to practice and pass the DMV behind-the-wheel exam. It is easy to book an appointment through the Riva website, and you will interact with an amazing supportive team!

I took lessons with Yancarlos and highly recommend him as a driving instructor. He is a very patient teacher and has a great sense of what you need to improve in terms of skills and confidence behind the wheel. As a testament to this, on test day the DMV examiner commented on how well prepared his students always are!

Hi my name is Brittany I’ve recently just passed my first time and got my License I’ve been taking lessons with Emilio and Carlos and they are both good instructors but Emilio is my favorite if you are a person that’s trying to get your License this is the best school to go to; at first it may feel like a lot of work but it’s very much worth it take it from me a person that never drove a day in my life after being taught with Rivadavia Driving School as Emilio would say “You will be one of the BEST drivers!”

Yan Carlos was the best instructor! I knew nothing about driving and was anxious especially on the Highway. He made me feel safe and was always patient and good at explaining important concepts and rules. My lessons were never rushed. Rivadavia was great with fitting me in for lessons(I did quite a few as a new driver) and I felt incredibly prepared for the driving test and aced it on the first time. I’m super happy I went with Rivadavia and recommend it to everyone.
