Passed my behind the wheel exam today with Instructor Gabi! I appreciated her patience and her tips and tricks throughout our preceding lesson and I felt very comfortable driving under her guidance. Highly recommend!! read more

Excellent school. Driving instructor, David, did a great job with my kid. My kid was happy with the lessons and passed the driving test on the first time. Office staff was helpful and scheduling was easy. read more

I'm an adult student with some anxiety around driving and I am so thankful I took lessons through Teen Driving Academy! I passed my behind-the-wheel test on my first try thanks to their help! Gaby is a phenomenal instructor - she is easy to talk to which helps calm any nerves when you're behind the wheel and she is very thorough in preparing you for the test. She really helped build my confidence. A 10/10 instructor, for sure. Whether you're a teenager or an adult student, these driving lessons are 100% worth it as they help you develop safe, smart driving habits that will last you for life. read more

My daughter took the 10 hour course and passed on the first try. The instructors were very helpful and paient. Highly recommend. They took my daughter to DMV and setup the test time and everything. Andrea and David were beyond helpful. read more

I used Teen Driving Academy for both of my daughters. Everyone I know that has teenagers used them too. Myself and my friends with teens all had positive experiences with them! I highly recommend this company if you are looking for someone to teach your teenager how to drive! read more

If you can get David as your driving instructor- your teen will fully understand the road rules. He had such a quiet confidence and that was calming to our son, who was learning how to drive. We got the package where our son used the teen driving academy car. David picked our son up and then I met them at the DMV. David was so proud of our son and was such a positive influence. Our son got ZERO errors on the drive test- David was beaming too. We don't have any more kids going through to learn to drive, but we recommend Teen Driving Academy to others. If you want someone who is a calm and confident presence, request David. Such an awesome experience for our son. read more

Gaby is such an amazing instructor! I got my permit when I was 18 and started lessons with her. I unfortunately had to take a long pause due to my summer job then starting school up again. A few weeks ago I started up lessons with her again and she immediately made me feel comfortable behind the wheel again. After 2 lessons with her I passed the Behind the Wheel test with only 2 points off! Thank you for everything Gaby! read more

Had my first lesson with Andrea. We drove all around Yorba Linda and Brea away. She was very nice and helpful!

My daughter had an excellent experience with Teen Driving Academy and especially with Gabby! She was very knowledgeable and was great at explaining complex driving techniques in a way that's easy to understand. She also provided a 2 hour training session right before her driving test and explained in detail what to expect on the test. This helped tremendously and my daughter passed the test with ease! I highly recommend Teen Driving Academy and ask for Gabby! She's awesome!! read more

Just passed my DMV behind-the-wheel test at the Fullerton DMV! I had Calvin as my instructor for all three lessons, and he helped me so much. He's very patient, understanding, and detailed when explaining how to navigate certain streets and signs. I highly recommend Teen Driving Academy as the process of making appointments was so easy, and I never had a bad experience with anyone there. Just glad my test is over! read more

With having only about 2 months before my permit expires and didn't do much of my own practice due to college, I was getting a bit worried about how many times it will take for me to pass or if I would be able to get my license at all. However, I decided to get lessons through the Teen Driving Academy, and it was definitely the best decision I made! I went with the 5 lesson plan for 10 hours. Back when I went in early July, I was able to get my first lesson the following week. My instructor was David, and I'm really glad he was my instructor. I was visibly nervous on my first lesson or two, but he made the lessons in a way that allowed me to become comfortable and I slowly became confident in my driving skills. He was super patient and friendly with me, and since the first lesson, he gave me what I needed to know for the DMV test. He teaches thoroughly and gives helpful feedback with each lesson and I get to keep the notes he has written for me on what we did and what I needed to improve more on. 5 lessons was more than enough for me, I even got to practice some freeway driving on lesson 3, though it's not required for the test. On every lesson (especially the last one which I had a few days before my appointment at the dmv) we would also go on different test routes, which allowed me to have an idea of what the actual test would be like. Our routine made the process much more easy. I passed on my first try at the Fullerton DMV with a high score (which I felt very accomplished since I've heard that location has a reputation of being hard but a bit better more recently). Overall, I would highly recommend this academy for those who want to learn to drive whether or not you are a teen or a young adult like me. I would like to give a thank you to David because I probably would not have gotten my license a month earlier if it wasn't for him! read more

Highly recommend! I had Sandy for three lessons and Melissa on my last before going to my driving test and they both helped me pass the test first try at Montebello! Both were super kind and helped me feel calm while learning to drive read more

We had an amazing experience during driving lessons with my driving instructor Gaby! She was super chill and fun during lessons and made sure I knew all the ways I could get marked off on the driving test as well as gave me tips on how to succeed. She was also super understanding when it came to me not being able to attend one of my lessons, and even moved around her schedule to fit me in for another lesson before my test despite her being previously unavailable. Because of Gaby, I was able to pass my driving test this afternoon with minimal mistakes and I'm super grateful to her! She's awesome and I would totally recommend her as your driving instructor! read more

Our son had three different instructors. I don't remember all of their names, but he said they were all very nice and helpful. Very patient. Would use them again. read more

This place is awesome!!! My son passed the drivers license test with no errors because of Gaby. She showed him what to expect on the test and gave him useful tips that nobody else has given him. read more

Had my son's first driving lesson. It went very well. Gaby was patient and offered a lot of helpful advice.

Today was Hannah's last driving lesson with Andrea. From the beginning of my lessons, Andrea was a great driving teacher. Thank you for everything, she is the best. read more

Calvin is the BEST trainer. I had three kids go through the school and all passed! We have been very happy with our experience. The scheduling was also easy and the girl helping us was very kind. read more

Completely worth the money. Gabby was my instructor and she was very helpful when it came to driving. She made sure I knew all the rules of the road. She was super friendly, fun, and informative. When it came time to take my test at the DMV I passed with 1 mistake! She was such an encouraging instructor. I highly recommend her. read more

We had such a great experience with Teen Driving Academy. It was easy to make an appointment. I didn't have to book weeks in advance. My daughter has a crazy schedule with school and sports and I was able to book an appointment the day before. Sally was her instructor and she was amazing. She explained everything to my daughter. She even came up to explain what she needed to work on after each lesson. I would recommend them to any one looking. Sally made my daughter very comfortable and gave her so many good pointers. We have her test next week and she had her last driving lesson today. She is for sure ready for the test. read more

Great customer service! We've had 2 of our 4 kids go through their program and I feel like they really prepare them. They are prompt and show up on time. They come to you and greet you at your door. Much better than the AAA experience we had for our daughter. They are also great supporters of the community and the youth in our local schools! read more

Teen Driving Academy was amazing from start to finish. My son passed his drivers test this week. Definitely need to give a shout out to Alvin who took my son out for all his lessons. My son really enjoyed Alvin and felt comfortable with him. After my son passed his drivers tests he asked me if we could write a review for Alvin. Thank you Alvin for being apart of this milestone for my son. read more

I completed my Teen Driving Academy journey with Daniel as my instructor. He gave me some really good advice and tips, along with correcting me on any mistakes I had. He was very good at keeping me calm and relaxed, and also talking so that I could talk out the nerves I felt. Daniel gets a 5-star rating from me, and with him as my instructor, I passed the first time at the Fullerton DMV. Thank you, Daniel, and good luck to everyone else! read more

amazing place to learn! This review is long overdue, but I am sure the service is still amazing! I started my driving lessons right before COVID hit back in 2020, and scheduled my Drivers test in February 2020. Suddenly it was July 2020, and the California DMV rescheduled without giving me proper notice. I quickly called Teen Driving Academy to schedule my last lesson right before my test. Since it was on such short notice, there were no instructors available, but the nice lady on the phone put my mind at ease and was able to get the owner to do my last lesson with him the morning of my test! I am very thankful for them! I highly recommend this academy because they truly care about their students! Good luck to future drivers :D read more

Calvin was my teacher and he did really well helping pass my driving test! Thank you Calvin!

Calvin was a most patient, informative and dynamic behind-the-wheel teacher! My son was WELL prepared thanks to his last minute input.. and he PASSED his test and has his license now!!! I especially love how Calvin took my son on the route around the DMV test site! He supplied us with detailed notes of things to practice and details that might be asked about (lights, defrosters, rear view mirror...). He even gave us his cell number if we had any last minute questions prior to the test!! Thanks Calvin! You are a gem!!!! read more

Definitely would recommend Calvin to everyone who is doing this program. I just finished my lessons and he was so instructive, kind, and chill. Always felt comfortable driving as if I was driving with a family member. Also very easy to talk to and an amazing teacher. Great communication and always showing up on time as well. Overall great guy and instructor. Call and request Calvin because he's the best from what I've heard from others as well. read more

Our daughter had a really good experience with Sally, her instructor. She passed her drivers exam the first time. Our son is requesting Sally now to be his instructor. read more

All 3 of our kids used Teen Driving Academy over the years. Our last son Jason just completed the program. We have had Alvin and Sandy with all three kids. Jason was just not able to relax so we extended for more lessons. One thing we did as parents is we took our kids to where I first got behind the wheel of a car. Rose Hills Memorial Park, Gate 11, is a large section of the cemetery that you can look at on Google Maps. This Gate 11 area is a large flat area with a oval track, intersecting streets. Great place as a parent to get your student to learn the braking and steering for your own car. I highly recommend it. The people at the cemetery are already dead, so can't hurt anyone and the curbs are all rolled curbs, so good place to practice parking along a curb. Sandy was awesome with Jason. His last appointment 3 days before his DMV test at Whittier, they drove it and she went over possible routes he may be taken. She was exactly right on route #3. Jason aced, got 100% on his driving test. Thank you Teen Driving Academy for working with us. Highly recommend. As a parent, if you see red flags, pay a little extra to add more lessons. read more

Our youngest son had an amazing experience, just as our oldest did 3 years ago. Both Instructors were relatable and guided them in a way they felt built the necessary knowledge and confidence. Khash & David were awesome! Highly recommend. Both passed their tests on the 1st try. Thank you! read more

Catherine is wonderful! I needed a lot of help with my turns and lane changes and she was very assertive yet warm! I felt so comfortable driving with her instructing me - I will definitely be learning from Catherine again. Thanks! read more

We absolutely LOVE David. He is an excellent instructor. Very calm, patient and kind. He is detail oriented and helps you understand what to look out for. He writes up a detailed report after each lesson and is very easy to learn from. Both my kids went through teen driving and absolutely enjoyed their experience with David. read more

I needed some current driving instruction for an upcoming DMV driving test with an examiner. Called TEEN DRIVING ACADEMY, Brea Ca, and talked to Monica. She was helpful, courteous, very informative and ENGAGED. Set a driving test for 2 hours (in-car) with Mr. Alvin. What a gift. Alvin has handled 1000's of driving instruction sessions in his 15+ years. He was fun, a teacher with respect, very informative, and I PASSED THE DREADED DMV TEST with 5 misses, out of 70+ techniques and 20 misses allowed. So Glad, So Happy with Monica and ALVIN to help me prove to myself I still can make it happen, at 80 years. And learned some, many of the driving needs, requirements that have/will change on a regular basis, now and in the current future. Thank you to both for allowing me to "Make It Happen". read more

My daughter has been so lucky to have Catherine as her instructor. Catherine is pretty awesome and my daughter has nothing but great things to say about her. My daughter is comfortable driving with her and even on the freeway, she felt confident and ready. I love how my daughter has a lesson checklist after each lesson that shows her how she did and what she can work on. Catherine is fabulous! Thank you, Catherine, and Teen Driving Academy! read more
