Tanner was a great instructor for my first behind the wheel lesson! We covered a lot while still being very safe. He’s super nice and does not make the drive stressful. He definitely helped me improve in the short 2 hours!

Shoutout to both Jon and Tanner, they were both spectacular. My first lesson was with Jon and another time with Tanner. A good combination of both comfort and knowledge being taught. They gave me good pointers and I had a good talk with them. Might not be for everyone but if you manage to get a good instructor, it should be alright

I had ed as my instructor, and I had a great time. Not only was it a high quality lesson that taught me countless new things, but Ed was also extremely kind, polite, and professional. Throughout the lesson on top of giving advice he would make jokes to ease the pressure off of immense task of learning how to drive. Thank you Ed!

I had my first driving lesson with Tanner, and he was excellent! We started near Woodbridge High and circled around the parking lot before going through various streets and coming back to my house. Considering that it was night time, I think that he did a good job keeping me company and my nerves in check. I would definitely recommend driving with Varsity Driving Academy!

I just had my second lesson with Ed. He was very nice and helpful. Ed was able to make me feel very comfortable during my first time driving on the freeway. He also taught me a lot about safe driving and awareness. I learned a lot and I would definitely recommend this academy to anyone who needs a nice and professional driving instructor.

Ed is an AMAZING driving instructor. In the 2 hours we spent together he taught me everything I need to know to be safe and comfortable on the road. Ed introduced me to S.M.O. G and traffic checks which are both great tips that really make a difference. By the end of the lesson I was able to confidently perform lane changes and U - turns. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to learn driving!Thank you varsity and ed 👍

I just had my first driving lesson with Tanner. He was very friendly and instructive on beginning how to drive. We started out slowly, and once I gained enough skills/confidence, we began testing out different scenarios. I was astounded by Tanners expertise and good tips; without previous driving experience, I was able to drive on the main road after about 45 minutes. Tanner also pointed out some of my errors (stopping too close to cars in front of me, driving a bit near other lanes, etc.) so I would not commit them in the future. Overall, a very nice experience. I would definitely want to drive with Tanner again!

This place is hands-down the best place to learn how to drive. The instructors are all nice, (particularly Kam, Hi Kam!!!!) and all know how to drive. They gave good advice, and made everything crystal clear. I passed my drivers test first try with their teaching under my belt. I even took my test in a difficult area, and their teachings made it a cakewalk. Long story short, this place is amazing and I cant recommend enough that you come here if learning how to drive.

Ed was very patient and kind with me during my first session of driving practice. He started off by showing me the basic things in the car such as the windshield wipers and turn signals, as well as showing me hand signals. We started off in the loop in Woodbridge, then he recognized that I was ready to move on. We then practiced on the major streets after he taught me things like S.M.O.G. and how to properly stop at intersections. Afterwards, we headed on to the freeway to further practice S.M.O.G and to get a feel for the freeway. He reminded me that I was doing a good job periodically throughout the lesson, and if I made a mistake he kindly let me know how and when to fix it. I would definitely recommend him and had a good time learning.

I drove with Varsity for two hours and afterward, I felt much more confident in my driving skills. Specifically, my instructor, Ed did an amazing job helping me become a better driver. He was very understanding, encouraging and calm, and that helped me feel relaxed while driving. I actually had a lot of fun driving as a beginner. Ed also provided a lot of great tips for driving such as following S.M.O.G when doing lane changes, making sure to scan intersections, how to u-turn, and other basic driving skills that was necessary to know. If I made a mistake, he provided constructive criticism, which helped me to improve the specific skill. When I did something right, he would let me know that I was doing a good job. By doing this, I am able to take mental notes of how that skill is performed correctly. Overall, my driving lesson went a lot better than I expected, being my first lesson with varsity. In addition, Ed’s presence and teaching played a major role in the lesson being phenomenal.

Review №22

My first driving session with Varsity was terrific. Ed, my instructor, did a fantastic job of both teaching me all the necessary fundamentals of driving, as well as making me feel at ease (while still being attentive) throughout the entire session. Since this was my first time ever driving, we worked on very basic fundamentals like understanding each function of the car (mirrors, turn signals, transmission, etc.). We then began slowly making our way around my neighborhood and getting comfortable making both left and right turns. Anytime I would brake or accelerate too suddenly, Ed did a great job of reminding me what the appropriate correction was. He would even remind me not to say/feel “sorry” despite my constant impulse to apologize after each small error, which was very constructive and reassuring. We worked our way towards driving out on public roads soon after. From there, I practiced how to approach making right turns, slowing down the vehicle when coming to a stop, checking the bike lane, when to completely stop before turning depending on the light, making lane changes, performing left turns, and making U-Turns. When Ed saw that I was doing well at certain actions, he would give me slightly more advanced ones to work on as we continued (like performing a U-Turn at a more narrow intersection than the one I had previously done). This both reassured me that I was doing a good job, but also taught me how to approach more challenging situations, because driving is a such a dynamic activity in itself. Overall, I am very happy with how the session went, and I would strongly recommend Ed for any future students who plan on doing Varsity Driving.

Ed was a fantastic driving instructor. He was constantly on top of what I needed to do and thoroughly explained the rules of the road. He made the driving experience very comfortable and was quickly able to notice what I needed to work on. Ed allowed me to drive on the freeway for the first time and kept me very relaxed. In addition to this he helped me to make better lane changes by following the acronym SMOG. Overall this experience was very helpful and really helped to improve my driving technique. I can’t wait to take more lessons with Varsity and would highly recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for a great driving instructor. Thank you Ed!

Review №24

Before driving with Ed, I had very little experience driving on main roads and navigating through intersections. I was only able to drive in lone parking lots at best. After going over the rules of the road with Ed I now feel more confident than before and more knowledgeable. Even before driving in my neighborhood he went over all the tools in the car that I may use, making me feel more comfortable. After some time getting used to driving and making turns in the residential area he eased me into the main roads. To anyone who is still learning to drive I highly recommend Ed as a driving instructor.Thanks Ed 👍🏼

Ed was a phenomenal driving instructor, and I learned so much from him! Although I was already somewhat familiar with driving, Ed helped correct some minor errors I would make quickly and clearly to help improve my driving. He also taught me S.M.O.G for changing lanes and always gave direct instructions. He taught me to scan intersections and be an alert and safe driver. I feel a lot more confident going into my behind-the-wheel test now. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Ed, and I highly recommend him as an instructor! Great experience with Varsity Driving

My first driving lesson went exceptionally well with the help of my driving instructor Ed.

I had Ed as my first time driving instructor and it went phenomenally. At first, I was a bit scared of the road and I made minor mistakes, however, Ed was able to quickly correct my mistakes and give me tips to drive a lot better than I have thought. He was able to handle all of my situations professionally and efficiently, and also taught me many ways to drive much better. He was communicative through out our lesson and taught me about the S.M.O.G acronym to change lanes, which was extremely helpful and safe. I highly recommend anyone who is going to Varsity Driving academy to request Ed as their driving instructor. Great experience overall.

Ed from Varsity Driving Academy was a fantastic instructor. Before my first lesson, my only experience driving was in a parking lot, which to put it mildly, was a big fail. So I was surprised that within the first hour, I was driving in my neighborhood and by end of lesson, I was driving all over Irvine on roads with speed limits of 50 mph. For sure, I am requesting Ed for my 2nd and 3rd lessons as well. Thank you Ed!

I had my second lesson with instructor Kam, and he really went above and beyond. In two hours, we went over parallel parking, freeway runs, lane changes in heavy traffic, u-turns, and so much more. Every time I couldn’t do something very well, for example right turns, we would do them over and over again until I got them right. He patiently went over the steps as many times as I needed to hear them, and he had also prepared many papers (that he made on his own) with step by step procedures on how to park or how to proceed in an intersection. I felt much more confident after the two hours. Thank you Kam!

My instructor, Hong, did a great job explaining everything I needed to know in detail as well as provide me additional skills beyond his requirements to ensure I feel comfortable not only for the driving test, but for the future as a whole.

Just wanted to shout out my guys Jon and Chris. They were super chill and I learned quite a lot.
