Coach Gary is very patient and gentle. He will answer any questions you encounter during driving in a professional and objective manner. He will not intimidate you like other coaches. He will also constantly encourage you and will not undermine your confidence. He is the first choice coach for everyone to practice driving. I highly recommend him! ! ! !

The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. He provided clear guidance and helpful tips that really boosted my confidence. I especially appreciated how he tailored the lessons to my skill level and gradually introduced more challenging driving situations.

The scheduling was flexible, and the customer service team was always responsive and courteous. His car was well-maintained, clean, and equipped with dual controls for added safety.

Thanks to his thorough instruction, I passed my driving test on the first try! I highly recommend Gary to anyone looking to learn how to drive safely and confidently.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Richmond Driving Academy for helping me not only learn how to drive but also for giving me the confidence I needed on the road. I’ve had a fear of driving for years, but with Gary’s support, I overcame it and passed my road test on the first try! Gary is an amazing instructor — so knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. I had been looking for a driving school that would truly help me, and after taking lessons at different schools, I can honestly say this one is the best. Gary really helped me straighten my will and believe in myself behind the wheel. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn with supportive, top-notch guidance!

The school was really accomodating and I was able to have some lessons and have the vehicle for the roadtest within 5 days from my test.
Gary was great and helped me through the process of passing it. He is very patient, explains everything really well and helps to understand how the test works. I definitely recommend it, even if you're an experienced driver as he helps to avoid bad habits you may have.
