Emilio is such a fun, knowledgeable, and punctual teacher. He is very patient and teaches in a manner that has helped me remember the rules of the road over the years. I brag about never being in an accident in all my years of driving experience thanks to Emilio's defensive driving techniques. I was able to pass my driver's exam without a problem and I was very happy with the results.

Emilio and Macarena are excellent teachers and were incredibly patient as I overcame my fear of driving and went on to pass my driving test with flying colors! I can't recommend this driving school enough. I had about 8 lessons and came out of it a skilled defensive driver.

Though I found Rivadavia Driving School later than I wish I had, I am truly grateful for my experience. Again, I had most of my lessons with Macarena and I had one with Emilio but BOTH instructors are great and I highly recommend either of them!
