This is a great Behind the Wheel course. My son really liked and respected Mr. Odom, and you know how teenagers take criticism. He actually looked forward to going. Bottom line, Navigation Academy is an exceptional course if your teen is soon to be a licensed driver!

I have to start by saying a BIG THANK YOU to Mr.Walter Odom! Absolutely wonderful teacher , he's patient and encouraging, and his calm demeanor gave me the confidence that I can drive on my own, safely. Every minute of the class is full of information and safety tips and everything that will continue to ring in my head every time I drive! I really appreciate the effort and extra time Mr.Odom put into the classes, giving me more time behind the wheel and also I really appreciate that he instilled in me the confidence and a real love for driving! Thank you Sir!

My daughter & her friend, just finished up, the last week of August, with Navigation Academy & Walter. Best money spent!! Walter was a wonderful teacher & helped them navigate through the rules,laws & driving techniques for “Behind The Wheel” portion of Drivers Education. Our daughter & her friend really learned a lot & enjoyed Navigation Academy & Walter. Walter is patient & kind & the girls learned a lot from him Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Navigation Academy & Walter.

My son just finished driving school with Mr Odom. I can not say enough good things about him. This was my first experience with all of this being that this was my oldest child. He made everything so easy. We are looking forward to working with him in the future with our other two children. Thanks Mr Odom!! Kaleb is excited about the adventures to come!!

What a wonderful experience my twin daughters had with Mr. Odom!! He was very patient and caring, positive and enthusiastic, and has an impressive attention to detail in teaching driving skills while emphasizing driver safety! My girls continue to talk about him and what they have learned from him! Therefore we would highly recommend him!

Placing your child in a car is a scary thing. But the Odoms made the process easy and were so reassuring for both us as parents, and for our son. It was obvious from the initial meeting that my son’s success was a priority. He looked forward to his lessons and was ready for his test without any anxiety. Can not recommend this company, and the Odoms, enough.

Kathryn Jessee

I really appreciated how detailed the information provided prior to the driving class was. Mr. Odom met with my son and I and explained exactly what to expect and worked with our schedule. My son liked driving with Mr. Odom and I appreciated his calm demeanor. I will definitely recommend the Navigation Academy to others.

This is my second time using Navigation Academy and I was just as pleased. From beginning to end Mr. and Mrs. Odom run an exemplary business. I chose Mr. Odom because I know that he’s completely professional, fair and he can relate to this age group in a really great way. I never have to worry that he’ll be on his phone, distracted or not giving 100% to his students. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Odom for making the experience so great!

Mr. Odom and the Navigation Academy worked with our son and the other student to find a schedule that worked for everyone. The feedback from our son about the training was that it was excellent, and our experience overall was First Class!

My son had a great experience. It was easy to communicate with the school and schedule lessons. I will definitely send my other two sons here.

Mr. Odom was very professional from beginning to end! Great experience.

Rainbow Waters

Dealing with the reality of my daughter and driving, I admit I was very nervous. Mr. Odom was very thorough and took the time to talk with me from the beginning. My daughter was in good hands with Mr. Odom and the time and attention spent on detail was excellent. I really appreciated Navigation Driving Academy for being flexible with schedule. I am glad My daughter was taught by an excellent teacher for such an important milestone in her life. Thank you Mr.Odom. Your service was very much appreciated.

Beth Howard

Mr. Odom gave my son the confidence to drive--I cannot thank him enough!

We are certainly pleased with the Driving Instruction approach of Mr. Odom. Our Son who has driven under our instruction for some time, has since adjusted his driving style with a greater awareness of other drivers and potential hazards. If you are considering a Driving School and appreciate succinct instruction and exceptional results, this is your school. Driver attention to detail is a must, from promptness to technique application. Your beginning driver will become a Great Driver under the instruction of Mr. Odom.

Kyra Turner

Highly recommend Navigation Academy of VA...Mr. Odom is an excellent and calm teacher. He turned my 16 year old reluctant driver into a driver with confidence.

Saundra Heater

Navigation Academy was Great! Professional and helpful! My daughter learned alot, I'm so glad that we contracted with Navigation Academy! Thank You! :)

Michael Rhoad

My son recently successfully finished the program and received his temporary driver's license. He enjoyed the time spent with Walter (the instructor) and spoke very highly of the experience. As I told someone else, this company is on DMV's website, they have an extremely high Google review, and my son enjoyed his time. I plan on using them again when my next son (14 yo) needs to get his license.

Jen Walczak

Walter was amazing! He made the experience fun and relaxed... my daughter loved him! Highly recommend!

Trevor Roper

I really had a great time learning from Mr. Odom during the behind-the-wheel portion of Driver's Ed. His instructions allowed me to much easier understand the concepts of driving safely in any location, and I feel like my time in his class has greatly improved my skills with driving and better prepared me for the road.

Richard Palmer

Mr.Odom was an excellent instructor.

Stacey Hanvey

Highly recommended!! A great experience for my son. Great to know that there are patient people out there willing to take a chance on driving with a young teen. The scheduling times that we chose were before my son's school schedule each day. They were always on time with picking up & dropping off. Never worried for a second. Thanks again for your time & patience.

Sherene Silverberg

Mr Odom make Driver's Ed a piece of cake. He has such a calm, but commanding presence that resulted in both my kids listening to him immediately and following his lead. He spent a lot of time working on defensive driving skills, for which I am truly thankful. I was very happy with how I saw their driving skills improve after each class. This class was some of the best money I've spent in a long time.

Navigation Academy is an excellent driving school. Walter is very professional.

Donald Wingard

Walter Odom is courteous, prompt, and professional. His care and attention given to the students is very evident and my daughter was very pleased and excited with each lesson. We definitely recommend his service and are planning to use him again in the future with the next daughter!

Lea Nelson

Both of my sons took their behind the wheel lessons with Mr. Odom and both are excellent and well-informed drivers. We have recommended the Navigation Academy to many others. Equipping the next generation of drivers to be safe and smart positively impacts the community and beyond. Well done.

Cam S.

Excellent customer service, response and scheduling! Our daughter was lacking confidence and had some anxiety over learning to drive, especially in the busy Greenbrier area. Mr. Odum met with us and developed a plan to help transition our daughter into becoming a confident teen driver. Within a month we saw a tremendous boost in both her confidence and driving skills. After a few private lessons and a week of Teen Behind The Wheel, she finally earned her license and was just beaming with pride all day! She looks forward to driving now!! Can't say enough great things about this company! Thanks again!!

Justin Deuro

I've known Walter professionally for years, and am absolutely certain he is a man you want working for you. Patient, professional, knowledgeable, driven, and just plain friendly. He will take care of you and teach you everything you need from beginning to end.

Stacey Guilfoy

I have sent two of my daughters through Navigation Academy's driver's training course and can not say enough amazing things about it! My girls came out much better drivers...more confident and more prepared to take on the crazy roads that make up Hampton Roads. Mr. Odom is THE best around! My girls were comfortable with him, always had the best things to say about him and he was flexible with scheduling, patient and kind. Five stars! A++! Highly recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Walter Odom and his wife Mrs. Jora Odom. They were very efficient, punctual, informative and quick to respond to any questions I had regarding my son's driving lessons or schedule. My son had such a wonderful experience driving with Mr. Odom and he appears more confident and comfortable behind the wheels now. He was excited about what he learned and even taught my husband and I a thing or two. I am not the least disappointed that I selected Navigation Academy and am grateful for the knowledge he has given my son. I am looking forward to working with them again when my youngest is ready to get his license.

I highly recommend Navigation Academy. I recently completed the driver education course with Mr. Odom. He worked with my school schedule and was very patient. I learned a great deal and really improved my driving skills. Strong points of the program include: 1. Promptness and professionalism of instructor. (Mr. Odom) 2. Overall learning experience which included interstate driving, parking, and city driving. 3. Strong knowledge from instructor.

Mr. Odom is excellent

My daughter was scheduled to start this driving school but the day came and they forgot about her. They have our money but isn’t accommodating her for the week that was scheduled. Their excuses were 1. No one wanted to take a 7am driving class. 2. The other times are now already full. So we can get her in next week. Only problem with that is, I won’t be here and she doesn’t have transportation to get her there and back. Even though we booked and paid for them 2 weeks ago. Very disappointed in how this situation was ran. No ownership in their faults!! With this school you have to drop/pick your kid off at a Panera. There is no building for this school. Hurts to have to tell your child no driving school for you this week. Now back to the drawing board. Thanks a lot for nothing!
