My daughter had such a positive experience with Johnson Driving Academy. Ms. Pam and Mr. Wearing were very personable, patient and encouraging with her behind the wheel training. We would highly recommend this school for drivers ed training.

My Son had a very positive experience with Johnson Driving Academy. The instructors made him feel comfortable, and gave him the confidence he needed to get through the class. I appreciated always been informed of each step of the process and how professionally we were treated. My Teen passed the Permit Test on his 1st attempt. Looking forward to enrolling my next child with them.

Pamela is a fantastic driving instructor. She is calm, generous, and patient. During 6 sessions, she taught me all the basics of driving and allowed me to pass my NC road test on the first try within 3 weeks of starting lessons. I could not recommend her and her school more highly. Scheduling was easy and convenient, the car she provided drove great, and she gave me lots of specific tips for the exam and for driving my own car with its different features. I can do a 3 point turn in my sleep now :)

Pamela was very well versed and made my daughters first driving experience amazing! She was thorough yet calm and collected while instructing. Very personable and reliable. We would highly recommend Johnson Driving Academy. My daughter passed her permit with flying colors after the course.

Pamela Johnson did a wonderful job! My daughter recently finished her classes and driving instruction and felt very prepared and confident going into the DMV to obtain her learner’s permit. Due to Covid, the classes were all online, but Ms. Johnson always kept the kids engaged and all seemed to participate. She was great at communicating with me about my daughter’s status and was very accommodating with the driving schedule, which I’m sure with numerous kids who all have crazy schedules, could be extremely difficult. I had called 3 other driving schools and left 3 different messages. When I called Johnson Driving Academy, Pamela Johnson, very professionally received the call and answered all my questions and got my daughter set up! I’m very glad we decided to use Johnson Driving Academy. My daughter now has her permit and is logging in the driving hours!
