The instructors were very patient with her as she learned the car and rules of the road. It's very important to find a trustworthy driving academy. From purchasing the sessions, to scheduling the sessions, and to scheduling the CA DMV test, it was such an easy process. Our daughter really felt at ease and comfortable with instructors Catherine Steveley and Dan Younger. They really understand how to instruct/connect with a new youth driver. Thank you! Today, our daughter took her CA DMV driver's test and SHE PASSED THE TEST!!! Thank you to everyone at VDA!!! We will go through VDA when our son is eligible.

When my son first got his permit I looked on Yelp to find a great behind the wheel program for him…read more I called Varsity and they were amazingly helpful on the phone. When Bob came to our house for my son's first lesson he was kind and knowledgeable, letting us know what to expect. My son had a great experience and at the end Bob spoke with us and gave us things to work on with him. All three lessons were amazing, he even gave us tips and tricks for the test and suggested which DMV to go to. Our son passed with flying colors and has a great driving record (he has been driving for 3 years). I am writing this a few years later because we moved away from Irvine and had to find another company for our daughter. Her experience was not as good and we did not feel that she was ready to be driving on her own even after that company signed off on it. I immediately called Varsity and they found her a time to work with Bob and we drove down to Irvine for it. In just two hours he taught her so much, he went through everything and corrected her previous instruction. She is a much more confident and safer driver because of him. She passed her test two days after the lesson. Thank you Varsity and Bob!

My daughter passed her drivers license test on her first try, thanks to Sherry!…read more We initially tried another driving school in Irvine, who uses contracted driving instructors and had issues with scheduling and last-minute cancellations. Frustrated, we began asking around and we were referred to Sherry by one of my daughter's friends who also had a great experience with OC Driving Academy. Seeing that Sherry is the owner, I felt confident in having her as my daughter's driving instructor. She is communicative, punctual, and was very patient with my daughter as she was learning how to drive. Not only did Sherry help with my daughter's driving skills, but she also helped me (as a parent) be as prepared as possible for her driving test. Sherry made sure we knew to bring our registration, proof of insurance, etc. to the DMV. She was super knowledgeable and resourceful about what we could expect for my daughter's driving test, and thanks to her, my daughter passed her exam on the first try. I would recommend Sherry to anyone parent who is looking for a well-qualified driving instructor for their teen.

We chose the 6am to 8am lessons (fewer cars on the road), and let me tell ya... Sherry was at our doorstep at 5:58am!  I also appreciated that we paid *after* each lesson. No upfront charges. No commitment. No pressure. After every lesson, Sherry would text us a list of things to practice. She also sent us what we needed to bring to the DMV test. If you're looking for a driving instructor, I recommend OC Driving Academy!
