Max is one of the best driving instructors I have ever met. I was a newbie to the world of driving when I came across jumpstart driving school that was recommended by my friends. Max is extremely organized and methodical which helped me clearly learn techniques and gain confidence as I practiced more. He also never misses the instructions. His repeated instructions and keen observation on what requires improvement in driving helped with my practice a lot. my DMV exam went well because of his teaching. I highly recommend Max for all age groups to learn driving the right and safe way. Read Less

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 stress. God bless you! Read Less

Jumpstart came with a referral from a friend. Max worked with our 16 year old son. Had him driving on the freeway in no time! When we asked for extra lessons, though he said he wouldn't mind, but told us we didn't need them. Appreciated the honesty. Paid for the Pre-DMV lesson and had my son take the test in their car. Totally worth it! Passed at DMV Santa Teresa the first time! Read Less

This is my first time writing a Yelp review. I took 6 hrs of driving instruction from Max. He is very skilled, patient and knowledgeable instructor. He gave me really helpful pointers for safe driving and took me for practice in various traffic conditions. Taught me how to back the vehicle in a straight line, parallel parking etc. I called him for some traffic rules clarification after our class, he was happy to help. Had a few rescheduling issues, but otherwise he was always on time, ready to help. I passed my behind the wheel test at Santa Clara DMV in the first attempt.( And I had very less experience.)Highly recommended. Read Less

Max is the best driving instructor I had. I am not a teen driver but I did not know the first thing about driving a car, and Max was very patient with me from my first class. He taught me everything from the basics, upto driving on the freeway. My driving gets better with him after every class. Also, his class scheduling is very easy online, and he is always punctual (in fact he is 5 minutes early most of the times). I got my license in my first attempt itself today, and I can't thank Max enough for it. However, more than getting a license, practicing safe and confident driving was very important me, and I learned this from Max. If you want to learn safe driving, you have to learn it from Max.

I needed a qualified CA driver to accompany me to my behind the wheel test. I'm an expat and was already driving on a foreign license, with over 10 years of experience. Max gave me some great tips about the area I was taking the test in. I had looked at other local companies but Max was definitely the best. I would highly recommend him. Read Less

Excellent instructor as the other reviewers have pointed. Just cleared my DMV test on first attempt! I've had a learners permit for 5+ years and never felt confident enough to attempt to drive before starting my sessions with Max 9(I took 3 sessions). He just helped take the edge off driving for me, no more debilitating jitters! Even on the way back from the test, he was coaching me on my problem areas. Another big plus, he focuses on good, sensible driving habits and not just on passing the test. Read Less

This was a really great experience. Max is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Along with being nice he was a great instructor and got me to drive amazingly in my first two hours. Recommend to all. Read Less

I found Jumpstart Driving school through Yelp. I had tried two different highly- rated driving schools before but they did not work for me. I was absolutely scared of driving before i met Max but within a couple of sessions with him, i was able to pass my DMV test on the first attempt. He not only focused on the test, but also made sure i become a good driver. He is an amazing instructor, very experienced and knowledgeable. He was extremely patient with all my queries and made sure that i understood the rules of the road to become a confident driver. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. Read Less

Max is one of the nicest persons you will ever meet. I was not a new driver but I wanted a refresher class since I did not drive at all in the last few years. He took his time to explain all the rules. He identified which aspects I am not doing well and made me practice. He is not at all in a hurry, unlike what I heard from my friends about their instructors. I would definitely recommend him. Read Less

Great instructor. He was very patient and we went through everything I needed to know in order to be a good driver. At the beginning I wasn't feeling comfortable driving, but he gave me the confidence I needed. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who wants to learn. Read Less

Brought my little cousin here for his driver training.  The kid was terrified of driving before his training here.  I forgot the instructors name, but he was very patient, explained everything from A to Z and prices were reasonable as well.  The first experiences of a new driver are very important as those experience will impact their driving for the rest of their lives.  These guys are on point.   Highly recommend.
