Long and heartfelt review:
I went to this driving school as this was closer to my place. Also other reviews helped. My first class was with Paramjit. He was very friendly and initiated me to the American way of driving. Being from India I had difficulty adjusting to the left-hand driving. He patiently explained all the rules and showed me the techniques for reverse parking, parallel parking etc. Till this point I was doing all these in right hand driving and doing it in hunch. He showed me the right way of doing it.
My next two classes were with Kuljinder. As mentioned, I did not have problem in driving but had problems with the rules and technicalities as they are completely different from India. She patiently explained all those points as many times as I needed. I was very nervous all through the time and she tried best to soothe my nerves. She was friendly but strict at the same time.
Overall she was friendly, just and dutiful. I must say she is the reason I passed my driving test. Kuljinder, I cannot thank you enough for all the guidance. You constant harping on the rules and technicalities made me remember those. I hope I will be a better driver because of your teaching.

Previously, I don't have any driving experience. I started to learn driving in Feb from Kuljinder. She is a very detail-oriented teacher (so that's why one comment one year ago said she may be a little strict sometimes XDDDDD but it is good for safety. If you just consider to find any school let you pass exam loosely, it is not a correct attitude for driving). For each techniques, she will explain the rationales behind, as a result to make you feel easy to understand.
As I don't have any cars or know anyone one can help me practice after lesson, I took 13 lessons. Before I attempted for exam, she helped me solely focus on practicing road conditions at the last lesson. It was because she knew I was not good at this area (we skipped maneuver at the last lesson because I am already good). She really helped me specifically to resolve my weakness and rebuild confidence.
Finally I passed at 4th attempt. I am really happy. At each lesson and exam attempt, she did provided a lot of feedback. That really helped me getting improved and drove better than previous time. At 3rd attempt I scored 74 and at 4th attempt I scored 90.
If you are hardworking enough to follow Kuljinder's techniques closely, you are definitely a safe driver and you can pass the exam. I highly recommend Drive Academy Driving School. Thank you Kuljinder!

Best driving school. I took 5 classes from instructor Kuljinder. She is excellent teacher. Before i was so confused about driving rules and parallel parking techniques. After the class i understood the rules and techniques are very clearly. Each and every class was very helpful to me. I highly recommend this for beginners and also people who know driving partially.
