Jeff is the best instructor to have if you have severe driving anxiety. Not only is he very accommodating with your school/work schedules, but you will see yourself improve with every lesson. 10/10 would recommend!

Jeff was amazing, I paid for 3 2hour lessons and it was well worth it! My son was very comfortable with Jeff and therefore he was able to learn without being uncomfortable. My son easily passed his test. I will recommend them in the future to anyone needing a driving instructor. 10'S for me.

I just passed my road test today at DMV Decatur, I saw Jeff 6X because I have zero driving experience and never parked in my life. Jeff is an excellent teacher and passionate about what he does, I've learned so much within 2 weeks especially on how to be a defensive driver. Driving requires repetition in order to truly master it - it's muscle memory and most people would practice with their family members with zero patience and end up feeling miserable lol so choose Nevada Drive Academy. I can't thank Jeff enough. I gained so much confidence and mastered a skill, support local business always! :

Thank you Jeff. I do not know what I would have done without you. I was frightened sitting in the car with my daughter teaching her how to drive. I scheduled an appointment with Jeff and he took her driving. After two driving sessions with Jeff. My daughter had more confidence and I felt more comfortable teaching her how to drive. She did her hours with me and drove with Jeff. He took her to her driving appointment. Yes! She passed her test. I highly recommend Jeff at Nevada Drive Academy. He's calm, punctual, and professional. Thanks Jeff.

Jeff helped me out just last Tuesday to get my driver's license. I've been working at it on and off for almost a decade, signed up for lessons back in April, and here I am waiting for my driver's license to arrive in the mail. Over the 9 lessons I had with Jeff, I managed to build up the confidence to drive to Boulder and back, among other personal achievements. I'm sure I'd have to buy another bus pass or something if I didn't sign up for these lessons. Thank you again, Jeff.

I had really high anxiety while driving, I couldn't even take the car out of park. Jeff took in account my anxiety and was very patient. He's very professional, driving is so much easier. I never thought id pass my test and I did! Thank you so much!

I had postponed getting my license for years because I was super terrified of driving. My friends for my birthday bought me this class. It was the best gift! Jeff is an amazing teacher who treats his students with respect and genuinely cares. Throughout the course, he taught me everything I needed to know for not only the test but helped prepare me for driving in Las Vegas.

He helped me build my confidence with driving and taught me not panic when I made a mistake. Without his calm demeanor, I feel it would've taken me alot longer to gather the courage to get my license. I 100% reccomend this course and specifically Jeff as the instructor.

The best instructor by far is Jeff. He is an excellent instructor and teaches you step by step the correct way to drive and he knows exactly what the DMV expects from you and how to achieve that excellence. I tried 2 other schools before I met Jeff and all that they showed me was incorrect and of course l failed the test. When l met Jeff I noticed immediately he was a very patient and great teacher.

When he brought me for my test he told me to relax because he knows i have all the skills necessary to pass the test. He was correct and I passed the test with close to a perfect score. Please don't waist your time and money, just call Jeff and I promise, you will be very happy that you did. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Jeff a 10. I want to thank you again Jeff for giving me the confidence and knowledge to drive correctly. 12/10/2020.

We hired Jeff for driving hours for our daughter. I can't recommend him enough! He instilled confidence in our daughters driving ability. He had a gentle approach on helping her correct the things she was doing wrong. Our daughter genuinely enjoyed their car hours together. He would then communicate with us on the things they worked on. What she needs to practice.

What's she doing well with

We also hired him to run the course with our daughter prior to the test and walk her in to the DMV. He coached her on the do's and don'ts. He went over and above!! After she passed her test he then sent us literature on safe driving apps, things to remember if you get pulled over, etc... Jeff is top notch & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

I would 100% recommend the Nevada Drive Academy to anyone who is in need of a car for their test! I was not initially planning to take my test in a rental car but when my car broke down unexpectedly the day before it, I didn't know what to do. When I called Jeff, he was extremely understanding and made time for me in his schedule right away. The Kia Soul is very easy to drive and Jeff is an outstanding teacher.

He takes you through all the routes and provides key information on what instructors are looking for on the test. He is patient, gives great constructive criticism, and helped me feel confident before my test. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and his guidance is absolutely worth it! Definitely will be recommending this service to anyone I know taking the test. Thank you Jeff!

We booked many driving lessons for my daughter. He even took her to the DMV to get her license today. Always on time and very professional. My daughter was very comfortable with him. I just made her nervous. So thank you for being great. I will totally recommend your services.

Jeff was so amazing with my daughter. He answered all my questions and was very patient with her. He helped get her where she needed to be for her testing during this pandemic.

Jeff was the most amazing driving instructor. Don't use anyone else! After a bad experience with another school I was put off taking another driving lesson but I'm so glad I found Nevada Drive Academy. Jeff was extremely responsive when booking my lessons, he was perfectly on time and so calm and kind while I drove that I felt really relaxed. I booked in to use his car for my driving test and Jeff helped me through every step at the DMV, showing me where to go, and even helping me with the forms.

He is very knowledgeable and gives you all the insider information! It was really lovely to have someone with me as I was a bit nervous. I felt I really learned lots with Jeff, not just how to pass my test but tips and tricks to really understand how to drive well. If there were an option for more than 5 stars I'd pick that!

Jeff is a great teacher and a truly nice guy. My 17 year old daughter had used a different instructor for several lessons and wasn't confident enough to take the behind the wheel test, but two lessons with Jeff and she was much more confident and ready. She passed with almost a perfect score! He took her driving exactly where she needed to get familiar and prepped her for every situation she could reasonably expect during the test. You're the best!

Hi everyone, I was looking for a safe & efficient way for my son to learn to drive. Jeff was just what he needed to get his license. My son learned to drive and has confidence now. Choose Jeff and you won't regret it! We had a great experience!

I have always been a bit nervous about driving, so it really takes a patient person to attempt to teach me. I had tried taking my driving test before, but ended up failing due to still not feeling confident behind the wheel or on the road. After months of avoiding driving or the idea of getting a license, I decided I had taken enough Uber's and Lyfts and decided I wanted to get my very own driver's license.

After a long search on Google, I came across Nevada Drive Academy. From the very beginning, Jeff was quick to answer any questions I had and made sure to work with my busy schedule, which was very important to me. Every lesson I felt more and more comfortable and started to feel like driving was becoming a natural part of my life. I just took my test last Saturday and passed!

I seriously almost cried. I can't thank Jeff enough for the time and personalized dedication he gave me every lesson. If you need that extra boost of confidence in your driving, call Jeff!
