I am very happy we chose Driver Ed Academy for my daughter. Thanks to everything she learned, she is able to drive with confidence. She passed her driving test with ease. Julie and the rest of the staff were great! 10/10, Would recommend!

I received training at the Driver Ed Academy and passed the driver test successfully. I was trained by an instructor named David. I think he taught us how to drive properly as prescribed by law. The fact that he is little quiet and focus on driver's safety may be a disadvantage for social people, but for shame Asians, it is an advantage. Conselor Julie is very friendly. Since I'm not good at English, I wanted to transfer various information in writing, but she readily accepted my request without telling me various things about the rules.
Due to personal reasons, I needed Julie's help even after paying all the bills, and even then, she responded very kindly. Driver Ed academy is a very responsible company.

I failed my driver's test on the first try and had to take an abbreviated course. All the other schools offering this service for adult drivers were either closed or completely booked, so that's where Driver's Ed Academy came in. Sadly, the instructor was beyond unprofessional.
He was loud, abrasive, disruptive, and overall a horrible individual to learn from, let alone drive with.
The two lessons of two hours each day totaling four hours all together felt like weeks. The days consisted of this person screaming at me, constantly telling me to start, slow down, stop when I'm already coming to a slow, go when I've barely had any time to check my surroundings ( He would often check for me which I feel defeats the point of DRIVER'S EDUCATION) and hurry me across every single road, intersection, and crossway.
There was also a time when a small pickup truck was quickly pulling out of a driveway in a residential area and almost collided with us. I spotted this and corrected my path so that we would be out of the way of being hit. ( Keep in mind it was pulling out fast and there was not time to simply stop unfortunately) I did this and immediately, he snatches the wheel from me and starts loudly shouting at the top of his lungs about us slightly touching the grass. He even admitted that we would have collided had it not be for me noticing, but he still felt the need to almost actually make us crash by forcefully grabbing the wheel from me.

In summary, I am unsure if this older guy that I believe goes by the name of David handles all driving related matters at this school or not, because from what I have seen from other reviews, there does seem to be other teachers here of value. But as far as abbreviated training goes, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you go elsewhere. Yes, getting your license is exciting and a huge milestone, but it doesn't have to suck. If you're in the area, please bide your time and wait it out. I personally received all my actual driver training from the AAAA International Driving School and the guy who taught me there was the complete inverse of everything David was. I'd recommend them any day over Driver's Ed Academy.

I highly recommend Driver Ed Academy. Julie is the best. She is a very caring person and is passionate about teaching teens to drive. She went over and above and am very happy to have her teaching my teenager to drive...A big thumbs up from me!

The Driver Ed Academy had been recommend to us by a couple of friends so we chose to send our two sons through their program. Our boys each had a very pleasant experience. They both had Dave as their instructor and said that he was very patience, friendly and a great teacher. From a parent's perspective, below are the things that made this such a great experience:
- A lot of classroom instruction times to choose from
- Very short lag time between when classroom instruction ended and behind the wheel sessions were scheduled
- Various behind the wheel times to choose from
- Flexibility on pick up location. My son had an event at school he needed to attend and Dave was able to pick him up at school two times, which was very convenient for us
I highly recommend the Driver Ed Academy.

Overall the experience wasn't bad. The classroom lessons were somewhat helpful but the driving instructor Mr.greg needs to hugely improve on his attitude and sarcasm and patience with new drivers, but can give helpful tips every now and then. So all an all I'd say go here just for lesson but if you can handle a rude attitude and sarcasm then go for driving lessons as well.

Very Nice Instructor, but office staff seems to be one person only Julie and forget about calling on Fridays, ur call will be answered when she will answer, only when she want to, and can put u on hold and forget about it, yea it happens once every three time, but she is very nice and helpful if she is feeling it. Instructor is very nice and punctual and he is always on time and nice and very good. They have a late model red corolla. Only recommendation is they need to hire a full time employee for CUSTOMER SERVICE I mean this is 2018.
