Leroy is the best! Anxiety #1: Daughter is learning to drive. Anxiety #2: We could not get Carrie, who is AWESOME and coached our son. We met Leroy briefly when he did a pretest coaching session with our son, so we signed our daughter up with him for a first lesson. My daughter had SO MUCH FUN and LOVES DRIVING! Driving instructors are special kinds of angels, doing things few of us can do. I’m thrilled that our daughter has been flourishing and looks forward to practicing with us. Leroy shares tangible tips that our daughter shares with us. SO GRATEFUL for all of his enthusiasm, patience, and expertise. (03/30/2026)
After taking lessons with Instructor Leroy, I passed my road test on the first attempt! As a student, I really valued how professional and courteous he was throughout the entire process. He didn’t just teach me to pass the test; he taught me to be a safe driver. He has a great eye for detail and would explain my mistakes clearly so I understood exactly how to correct them. I never felt rushed— he always made sure I had enough time to practice difficult maneuvers repeatedly until I got them right. Whether you are a new driver or just need a refresher, Instructor Leroy is one of the best instructor you could ask for. (01/23/2026)
I had initially planned to only schedule a single lesson with BADA, but I quickly signed up for a freeway lesson with Leroy after attending an initial Academy Driving Program lesson with him. He has such a wonderful way of showing your true capabilities and potential.
In each lesson, we worked up to things that were initially beyond my comfort zone (driving to the top of Montebello Rd, for example), but in a way that felt completely natural comfortable.
On top of that, the lessons were just fun. Leroy instilled within me a love for driving. The same goes for instructor Steven. I am so thankful to you both! (10/29/2025)

I’m writing to express my sincere appreciation for my driving session with Leroy today. He was an excellent instructor.
I was particularly impressed with his professionalism and his willingness to teach me reverse parking. He also provided clear and effective instructions on parallel parking.
It was a thoroughly positive learning experience. (5/6/2025)
