Columbus Driving Academy - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

I had a good experience at Columbus driving school. My scheduling was smooth, and I had a great instructor. Her name is Ramona Sockerson. She is the best. She is really calm and her lessons came in handy. She got good secrets to passing the driving test. She always made sure that I was calm and gave good stories and nice tours in very beautiful scenery. I had all my in car lessons with her and I highly recommend her. She is that one calm instructor who will not scream at you just because you made a wrong turn, or made a sudden stop because you panicked, she always said to me 'it's okay, keep driving, use your hazard lights, and so on. She is a nice lady.

Dont bother. Bought the 4 hour driving for wife. Then cant schedule because she needs a class first. Try to Call to clarify for 30 minutes to no response other than an auto voicemail

Their site says to call in before coming by. How would that work?

while going to drive for about 2 hours you want to be with someone who is comfortable with not only your abilities but there’s as well, I’ve seen a lot of errands being run, or just instructors on their phone checking for their “package” I’m here to give a very honest and sincere review to other teens like me looking to invest in drivers ed.
When I started my first in car I had it with a older black lady (not going to name call) everytime I drove with her it felt as though I was messing up on my 3rd in car with her I ended up crying because instead of teaching and encouraging her student she did the complete opposite. I only had 2 good in car experiences that weren’t with her.
2nd in car experience I had was with an instructor called John, he was very patient and didn’t yell too much, when I had him for my in car it was raining heavily and we didn’t get to do my cone portion. With that being said at times he did seem to get ticked off when you couldn’t grasp something within seconds. My last and final in car was with Richard, he was very respectful I told him the things I struggled with while driving and how the maneuverability portion was the hardest for me to grasp, we spent about an hour practicing and it was the simplest way I’ve ever learned cones, especially if your a very anxious learner/ person in general. I ended up taking my license test and getting it first try. Goodluck to everyone else.

If i could give less than 1 star i would. Covid19 may have slowed things but they could hire more people to accommodate the back log they have. Getting the “in class” part completed is easy, getting “in car” is near impossible. They are backed up 3-4 months. First drive for my daughter scheduled in Oct. Second, third,and forth not until JANUARY. They collect your money then hold you hostage

We had very bad experience with the receptionist on interacting with us after registration. They talk nicely until registration and later they had bad attitude. We had to wait for 3 months after online sessions. The instructor was 77 years old and good in talking but was not flexible when requested for one situation. He asked us multiple times to adjust schedule but when it comes to us asking he showed bad attitude.
The worst experience was when he comes and honks about his arrival.
He sends text to reschedule and expect us to looks his text. We expect them to call for rescheduling.

IMO, I wouldn’t recommend and encourage all of you to not go to them for Teen driving lessons.

We experience nothing but professional, courteous, and friendly service from the time my son finished the online course until the last in-car drive. When I called in to schedule the first in-car, the woman on the found was very friendly and helpful in getting them scheduled with Robin. Robin was a FANTASTIC driving instructor. She went over and beyond getting my son ready for his driving test as close to his 16th birthday as she could. I would highly recommend Columbus Driving Academy for their teenage drivers.

Absolutely horrible experience. We were able to knock out my daughter's classes within a week. However, the wait for in cars was horrendous. 1+ month between sessions. Called to ask about getting her in with a different instructor and was told the wait would be even longer. The person answering the phone was horribly unprofessional and told me he didn't have time to argue with me because he had a job to do. I asked to speak to a manager and was placed on endless hold. I will be spending my money elsewhere for my other 2 kids.
