I took some practice lessons of behind the wheel and got over my fears and became a much more confident driver once I got my license. Very good teacher and instructions.

I took the re-examination course and after failing my permit test at the DMV 3 times. The instructors were very helpful and gave me several practice tests to prepare me for retaking the exam. With their help I was able to pass on my first try. Thank you AA Driving Academy!

Thought it was going to be a normal 8 hour class where you watch TV and answer questions, but Amanda did such a great job it didn't even feel like 8 hours. She was very informative, engaging and made sure everyone participated and didn't feel left out. Great class definitely recommend!

My teacher Mr Ali was professional and not like a parent that cannot remain calm when teaching you to drive. I took 5 driving school classes for 90 minutes each. No yelling no interference, he let me learn but also helped with the braking and acceleration on his side in case he thought I might be nervous. But I was the most nervous right before getting in the car I had so many butterflies.

What I didn't tell the teacher was that I hadn't driven in over 6 or 7 years! What helped me was YouTube videos on how to brake and speed properly. And you know what, I drove better than half the people on the road! After the first 2 classes I wasn't gripping the wheel tight anymore. Thank you for helping me get over my fear. I once ran into my neighbors fence and almost hit a tree just leaving my house with my mother's car to go to work.

They lived tight next door. I never even got onto the road. That was over 7 years ago. Over 2 years ago I almost lost my life to gastroparesis. Eating soggy cereal for 2 years and never seeing my friends again. And more horrors i went through I cannot mention here. But. You've given me hope again. Thank you AA :,) P.S half the drivers didn't use their turn signals. Yet I remained calm. :)

I was not looking forward to taking the defensive driving class, but it actually turned out to be entertaining and informative. Kaz was a great instructor, he made the time fly by. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Our Instructor Mr. Kaz was very professional, he explained all the class nice, pointing the most important subjects, he helped out each of us about our tickets, how can we got the points back to our driver licenses, and the most important he tried to make us co conscious about our driving.

Very educational and eye opening class. Polite and helpful staff who answered all my questions. Amanda led the class and it was one of those awesome teacher moments. I recommend her defensive driving course to help improve your driving, and remind yourself of many important things behind the wheel. Socially distanced class, masks worn by all. Made an 8 hr class go quick and was happy to have chosen AA Driving Academy. Matt

Great experience! The instructor James had great character, kept the class interesting, fun and welcomed. The course itself is very informative and helpful, very efficient and effective. James kept the class engaged and informed and entertained with great stories, experiences and statistics. A very relaxed atmosphere and experience.

Amanda was so passionate and understanding about each of our situations. She gave a thorough breakdown as to was of our situations, and made it so we understood it was a common driving mistake, but also explained the gravity of the consequences that can occur and gave real life situations that turned for the worse. Learning her class was far more engaging than the previous ones I've taken and I would recommend all my families drive out to take the class just for her instruction.

Although the course is boring. Instructor made it fun and engaging. I've heard some awkward stories about these kind of classes but thankfully instructor James made 8.5 hours shortened it seems. Won't be taking this again but hopefully we'll see him elsewhere.

Was a genuinely interesting and kinda fun experience. Not like what I expected at all. The teacher seems to genuinely care and is very engaging. He has a way of getting the room to engage and be interested as well. I'm surprised and happy to say that I actually learned something. Overall it was a great experience that I definitely recommend.

I had Christian as my behind the wheel instructor and I definitely improved as a driver by taking my classes with him. His tips were very helpful and the sessions weren't boring at all. I certainly recommended aa driving academy to anyone that's looking to get their license.
