If you want to get MENTALLY prepared for passing the behind-the-wheel test, please, make Lance your…read morefirst choice! Scheduling and payments: everything's online. I suggest reaching out via text message before paying to make sure he has the availability you're looking for. Lance is very organized and it has an excellent scheduling system. You will get reminders through text and he will always be on time for lessons or your DMV appointment. He respects you, your money, and your time. He is flexible as long as you communicate with time. 1 hour behind the wheel test prep: He will give you the DMV examiner experience, meaning he will be VERY strict and COLD BLOODED for real, (I even told him that lol) If you have ever been at the DMV you can tell how sad and mean this people are. Well, Lance will show you how to control your nerves and focus on the importance of driving safely and listening actively. So don't take it personally, for the ones that said he was mean, I would say he's very straightforward, he wants you to follow the rules and you have to go out of your comfort zone and trust his teaching method. He gave me feedback after the lesson, it was mostly learning how to control my nervousness and don't anticipate the examiner's instructions. Other than that he said my driving was fine. :) DMV test day package: He picked me up on time and let me drive to the DMV, again, her reminded me about actively listening to the instructions and the importance of understanding the psychology of the test to pass. Lance being this strict helped me to be more calm because when the examiner approached us, I was prepared to not let the examiner's cold-blooded unemotional detached attitude affect me. Result: I passed the test with few errors and then we drove back to the pickup spot. Today recommended! Thanks, Lance, I wish you the best!

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 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!

I paid for 3 sessions and was impressed with how the training was adapted on the fly based on my progress. I learned what I needed to pass the test, gain confidence in driving and lessen my anxiety. By the third lesson I had learned what I needed so the instructor added more skills worth knowing to make sure I got my moneys worth which was awesome on top of the value the school had already provided. I will definitely be recommending friends and family in the future.

After many anxiety inducing attempts with other driving schools, I came across this page and decided to reach out to James. He helped me get past my terrible anxiety and has made me a more confident and comfortable driver. Without his help, I probably would be struggling still to get my license. If you need someone who's calm, but still challenges you based off of what best fits your personality, James is the instructor you're looking for.

After finally finding a time that worked around my son's school schedule and doctor's appointment, the owner told me to "try a bigger driving program" instead of helping me schedule.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this company.
