Driving lessons for international students in California | Chinese-speaking instructors, college pickup and booking
New to California, without a car or looking to practice between classes? Share your school’s city, meeting area near home and available times. College beginners can ask about pickup and Mandarin, Cantonese or English instruction.
Discuss your needs before documents and booking
Step 1: Use WeChat YohonLi, phone or the course form to share your city, age group, experience, goal and availability. Step 2: Prepare the DMV-required application documents and confirm legal eligibility for practical instruction. Step 3: Confirm the instructor, language, meeting point, hours, price and rescheduling rules before arranging lessons. The enquiry form does not require passport or immigration-document uploads.
Near Bay Area universities
UC Berkeley, Stanford University, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University and Santa Clara University are in different East Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco and South Bay locations. Enter your actual home city, not just Bay Area university. Meeting points and instructor times are checked separately.
Near universities in Los Angeles and Orange County
UCLA, USC, Caltech, Cal State LA, Cal Poly Pomona and UC Irvine are not adjacent campuses. Tell us the actual campus, home city and available session length. Confirm pickup each time. School names do not imply partnership or official recommendation.
Near Riverside and San Diego universities
Students near UC Riverside, UC San Diego and San Diego State University can contact the Eastvale/Riverside or San Diego service team respectively. College-beginner pickup can be requested. Confirm campus access, parking and the exact meeting point first.
Pickup, costs and course arrangements
College beginners can request pickup, but not every distance is free. Free pickup is available within about a 20-minute drive of the agreed DMV. Check charges for longer or special journeys first. Weekend enquiries are welcome; your timetable and instructor availability determine the final arrangement.
License documents for international students and new immigrants
DMV reviews individual eligibility and documents. International students can also ask their school’s international office about status documents. Another student’s checklist is not necessarily yours. Overseas drivers can read our overseas-driver guide; first-time learners can use the California learning-to-drive guide.
Explore courses by learning goal
Parents and learners should distinguish theory from practical training and confirm what they are purchasing and the next stage.
Provide the test date and location, then confirm practice and vehicle arrangements separately.

Enquire first, then confirm the course
Instruction is available in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. Instructors hold instructor licenses, and teaching vehicles carry commercial insurance. Ask about weekend, parking, freeway and confidence-building lessons.
Free pickup for a test-vehicle product follows that product’s terms, not every course. Confirm the course, meeting point, instructor journey and potential extra fees individually before paying.
Prepare these four details
- Your city and preferred meeting area.
- Adult or minor courses, existing experience and learning goals.
- Preferred teaching language, lesson dates and times.
- If your road test is booked, provide its location and date and say whether you need a vehicle.
