Koala Driving Academy

Our son attended the teen classes with Koala, and it was an amazing experience. We have 3 older children that went to another driving school. So we have some experience with driving schools. Koala driving academy was amazing. Easy to schedule class, driving hours, and they are really quick to get back to you with any and all of your questions.

I had a great time learning to drive at Koala Driving Academy! Mr. Chris professionalism and genuine passion for safe driving were evident. Koala is a reputable driving school. Ms. Ziporah Hall and Mr. James Plauche (Coach), were amazing. They could see that I could do well, even when I doubted myself. They were very patient and kind, never making me feel bad for asking questions or messing up. They always made learning fun and easy to understand. Ms. Ziporah Hall was especially helpful. Her calm demeanor and positive reinforcement were priceless. She has a wonderful way of building a student’s confidence. She pointed out what I was good at and helped me with the things I found tricky, always with a smile. She made me believe I could do anything, and that made me feel much better and more sure of myself. She knew exactly what I needed to learn better, whether it's a bit more explanation, a moment of quiet practice, or a well-timed compliment. Koala Driving Academy helped me go from being a nervous new driver to someone who feels confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend them!

I completed my adult driving lessons with Koala Driving Academy and had an excellent experience. The pre-licensing class session on November 2 was well organized, and my behind-the-wheel lessons were promptly scheduled and completed by November 14. I also passed my driving test the same day. Mr. James Newman and Mr. James Plauche(Coach) were professional, accommodating, and instrumental in refining my driving skills, particularly with turns and roundabout navigation. Mr. Chris Clark was clear and helpful in explaining scheduling and ensuring my needs were met. He also provided confidence-building advice during the behind-the-wheel instruction. Ms. LaShaundra Kelly provided informative guidance before and clear instructions during the driver’s test, which greatly supported my performance. Overall, the process was smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Koala Driving Academy.

Overall a great school to attend for driving. Everything’s professional and the instructors especially have been all great. If you plan to attend, try your best to get "Coach" as an instructor at least ONCE!

This place is the absolute best. My daughter has severe anxiety issues, and Christopher has been absolutely wonderful and patient and caring about her. He has definitely gone above and beyond with trying to help her get her license. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Terrible experience – avoid this company! My teenager completed the classroom portion back in July, and it’s now October with no driving sessions scheduled. The owner constantly gives excuses and empty promises but never follows through. They even rolled out a new scheduling questionnaire on October 1, yet after completing it, there’s still nothing but silence. To make matters worse, the owner refuses to provide the completion certificate for the classroom portion. Completely unprofessional and disorganized — do not waste your time or money here.

We had a wonderful experience at Koala! Mr. Chris is very accommodating and made an effort to get us through the driving lessons as fast as possible. Coach is an excellent instructor and very easy to learn from and talk to - he’s so great at his job and any students lucky enough to drive with him are in for a treat. We would recommend Koala to anyone looking for a driving school without hesitation.
