Todd is an excellent instructor! My daughter enjoyed her driving classes with him, learned a ton and passed her driving test with flying colors. The officer giving the test even commented on how well she did on parallel parking and I credit that all to Todd on teaching her that skill.

Outstanding experience. We are so glad we found Premier, it is so nice to have someone other than a parent teaching our daughter about driving and safety on the roads. Dan is so professional and knowledgeable from his experience in law enforcement. Our daughter enjoyed the experience and feels more confident in her driving. Highly recommend, we are so thankful they are offering this service.

I passed my driving test today in Ozark, Mo after taking lessons with Gene Harmon. He was an amazing teacher for me, and was able to help me celebrate the small steps I was making with each lesson. I was severely anxious about getting my license, and he was able to calm my nerves. Thank you so much to everyone at Premier it was worth every penny!

So thankful for instructor Mr. Gene Harmon! Excellent coaching and training of driving skills with my son. We had the basics down, but need assistance in several specific areas and Mr. Harmon was able to teach effectively where my son learned and passed driving exam with 100%. We weren't expecting that but knew we just needed to pass. I have a sense of unexpected peace as a mom with him now driving by himself. Absolutely worth the investment both time and money. Mr. Harmon held the standard high and we highly recommend!

Todd was an outstanding instructor for our daughter. They thoroughly prepared her to pass her drivers test and prepared her to hit the road on her own. Thanks Todd

Premier Driving Academy is a fantastic school for anyone wanting to learn how to be safe while driving. My daughter learned all the great skills to help her succeed in the road. Her instructor was Todd, he was very patient and knowledgeable. My daughter felt very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend this driving school.

We absolutely recommend Premier Driving Academy! Dan Bracker is wonderful. Our daughter felt comfortable working with him from the get-go, which is super important for a 15-year-old girl and her parents! We saw a huge strides in our daughter's driving skills right off the bat. Mr. Dan did a fabulous job coaching her and we are SO thankful for the skills he taught her during their sessions.

She was so proud of herself when she went to take her driver's exam & passed on the first try, earning "the highest score so far" that day We will definitely be calling Mr. Dan again when it's our next daughter's turn to start learning to drive!

We were very impressed by the quality of instruction that Dan provided for our daughter. She felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated the preparation for her test, especially with parallel parking. She passed her driver's test on her first try! We highly recommend Premier! ~ The Hampton Family

My daughter has high anxiety and I felt I was unable to help her gain the confidence she needed to succeed on the road. Gene was our instructor and he did a fantastic job. He is encouraging, kind and professional. It was easy to fit each practice into our schedule. I highly recommend.
