Coastline Academy Driving School Reviews

Richard made the Road Test feel so easy. I was extremely nervous, but with him as my examiner, I was calm and did very well.

I had my lesson with Steve a day before my road test in San Clemente and I couldn’t be more grateful for him being extra assertive on making me driving all the way down there, so I can be more familiar with the roads and be confident with my driving. I had few errors at the beginning of my lesson, but Steve is a great instructor and really calm guy.

So grateful that Michael helped me to focus on my driving skills instead of obsessing to practice where I'm going to take my road test. He took me to Tustin and Orange which was hilly like San Clemente, but it definitely increased my confidence with driving especially learning how to navigate upward/downward hills safely.

Jim was hands down very helpful from start to finish of my DMV road test. I truly appreciate how empowered me to always be confident and safe with my driving. I'm so happy and satisfied that I get to do my very first driving lesson with him and chose him to be my instructor for my road test too. I really learned a lot and he helped me overcome my fear of driving fast but making sure I'm within the speed limit.

Joe is a really good instructor, but my daughter was sensitive about his feedback. He also ended early and was inquiring why I wasn’t there yet. The first two lessons we had with him were great so I am unsure why this was different

Great lesson with Yvette. She's great at explaining things clearly

Lise A., Wednesday, March 11, 2026

Rick is so friendly. He clearly knows how to drive defensively. Most importantly he knows how to teach. Sometimes when I take my lessons and the instructors do not want to talk to me or they just want me to leave and get the lesson over with.It doesn’t feel very nice. I'm glad Rick treated me like a person and not just a customer.
