Rykendrick C. - Driving Instructor
Service Areas: Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain, 4S, Del Sur, Poway I was born and raised in South Carolina and after studying and teaching in Germany, I decided to settle down in Sunny San Diego with all the beaches and tacos one could possibly dream of. Although teaching inside the classroom has been my specialty, I'm excited to be teaching outside of the classroom as well. I believe that with the right amount of patience and knowledge, I can be of much assistance in helping you obtain your license. Currently, all my family is back east so I spend the majority of my time with friends and traveling. My favorite way of traveling is by road trips. Once, my friends and I drove to 5 different countries in 4 days. So, I'm no stranger to the roads, and I plan to get you as acquainted. School Instruction Vehicle: 2019 Toyota Camry (Black) License Plate No. 8JQB898 Christine H. - Driving Instructor Sevice Areas: Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo/Carmel Mountain, 4S, Scripps Ranch, Del Sur, Sabre Springs, Carmel Valley You're almost there...so close to grabbing that brass ring otherwise known as a driver's license. It is now time to make that important decision, who are you going to choose to be your driving instructor? My name is Christine and it would be my pleasure to be a part of this exciting journey you are on. During the week, I am a preschool teacher, so I am extremely gentle and patient. I am the wife of a U.S. Marine and love being a part of a military family. I have two teenage daughters, Jessica (18) and Vanessa (16), and have taught them both how to drive. I loved helping them achieve the goal of a driver's license, and will enjoy helping you, too. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends...going to movies, plays, Padre and Charger games and family cruises! School Instruction Vehicle: 2017 Toyota Prius (Grey) License Plate No. 8CIH267 Pablo A. - Driving Instructor Service Areas: Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo/Carmel Mountain, 4S, Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa, Del Sur, Sabre Springs I was raised in the San Francisco bay area. I am working on my bachelors degree at SDSU.. I've always had a love for cars. I am a patient instructor, so my students learn quickly and I hope will love to drive as I do and look forward to their next lesson. School Instruction Vehicle: 2019 Toyota Camry (White) License Plate No. 8JQB613 ________________________________________ Janessa D. - Driving Instructor Service Areas: Ramona, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo/Carmel Mountain, Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa, Del Sur, Sabre Springs I was born in Joplin, MO, but moved to San Diego when I was very young and grew up in Point Loma and Poway. I went to school at Los Angeles Pierce College where I worked on a Horse degree with the 18 school horses we cared for on campus. One thing I discovered as a riding class teacher's assistant was how much I enjoy helping people learn new skills and how to bother be sage and have fun. Most of the things taught in a horse back riding class are easy to translate into a driving course. Such as knowing how to stay in control as well as the rules of the road. It also takes a lot of patience, understanding, and a calm personally to convince a 1000 lb. animal that it really does want to do the things it's being asked to do, so you can be assured that I'll be just as patient with driving students.

Hello, my name is Lyla, and it’s pronounced Lie-luh. Did you get it right? Anyways, my most common question from my students is how am I so calm? I was once in those new driver shoes. Nervous and scared but eager to learn. I am your support, your teacher, and your protector. My main priority is safety, and then after that I will show you how to be just as safe. I am determined and patient and I would love to aid in this exciting journey!
