Driving Schools in New York

“Great experience taking a two hour refresher lesson with Morris; he was patient and knowledgeable, teaching me some new things, and allowing for exactly the type of practice I wanted.“

“I 100% recommend Revolution Driving School! They have multiple convenient locations for driving lessons. The school can also schedule your road test, and there's a good chance you'll be able to use the same car you practiced in for the test, which is a huge advantage. Communication with the school is primarily done through email or text, which worked well for me. If the phone isn't answered, don't be upset; they will respond to your email promptly. If you're fortunate, your instructor will be Waleed (I took lessons in the Upper East Side). Waleed is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He provides helpful feedback during lessons. We connected well from my first lesson. The whole driving experience was fun and enjoyable. Right before my road test, Waleed showed me a different technique for parallel parking that finally clicked for me! I used his method, and my parking was spot on an hour later during the test. Forever grateful, Licensed NY Driver, Maria“

“I highly recommend Kenny as a driving instructor. His genuine care for his students set him apart, making each lesson a positive experience. He takes the time to ensure you feel confident behind the wheel. Carrie who takes care of logistics is also amazing at what she does. She does her best to work with your schedule and is incredibly helpful! Their prices are incredibly competitive compared to other schools in the area by a huge margin. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor, this is the place to choose!“

“Acropolis was wonderful to me throughout the 15 lesson experience spread out over several weeks, and worked with me to find a schedule that fit mine, which I really appreciated. They're punctual, clear, confirm your appointments over text the day before, and the instructors are to the point and inform you about what will work and what won't on the test (shoutout Marlene she's the GOAT). I passed the test on my first try and Acropolis really prepared me well for it -- I owe them a lot. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Everlina is an amazing instructor/fairy driving auntie, and I couldn’t have imagined or hoped any better to do this journey with anyone else. Her joy and humor are infectious. She is calm, patient, mindful of your needs, and will redirect you in a gentle way. Everlina has experience working with people of all ages and abilities, including those with anxiety. She really goes above and beyond for her students young and old. Doing the lessons with her also started to help break down my habit of being incredibly hard on myself and to not stay in a bad moment in order to spiral. You also don’t just gain an instructor, you gain a friend and I will be sure to keep in touch with her in the future!“

“I had a fantastic experience with Perfect Park Driving School. After not driving for over a decade, I needed to quickly refresh my skills for a new local license. They scheduled back-to-back lessons with excellent instructors, and just two weeks later, I passed my test. This school is top-notch. Learning to drive in the LES prepares you for anything in the city. Thanks to everyone on the staff. Highly recommend!“

“Exelente el instructor Michael lo iso muy bien . Tome 2 clases con el y aprendí muchísimo por su paciencia para dar la práctica. Muchas gracias.“

“Hassan was very helpful as a teacher -- he's very patient, relaxed, and makes sure that I can actually drive safely. I postponed taking driving lessons for years and thought that I would never be interested in driving. The practices/lessons I did with Hassan definitely has helped me feel relaxed when driving“

“Ruben is a fantastic instructor. I wholeheartedly recommended. After several driving school and failed test i can say with out reservation that no other instructor matches his patience, skill, and communication. Prices are great. He teaches you not only how to pass the test but how to be a safe driver.“

“I was familiar with other driving schools, and their work was very prompt and thorough, which made me realize once again how great Japanese work is. Thanks to my instructor Otsuka, I was able to pass the road test without any problems. I wish I had been here for you from the beginning. This is a recommended school. Thank you so much ✨✨???“

“Took me 16 lessons and 2 tests but it was overall a great experience and helped me get my driver's license. Definitely recommend“

“I took the pre license course 5 hour class and it was amazing. Mr. Griffith is very informative and taught the class well. I feel so prepared for a road test now. Thank you so much! Very professional. The fact there is an option for 3 different mailing varieties is nice. I picked Certified Mail Overnight and I can’t wait to see it! :) I recommend you guys to anyone who needs to take the pre license course.“

“New york commercial driving school excellent service from the administrative staff and instructors, very diligent and dedicated in teaching everything necessary to obtain my CDL, 100% recommended“

“Mr. Chen is a very nice and experienced instructor! He answered all my questions very patiently and gave me very useful tips on parallel parking. I am a driver for 28 years in my country, and need to get a NY driver license, if I use my own instinct to do parallel parking, I can park the car within one foot from the curb (the test requirement), and immediately behind the car in front of mine (very useful skill for narrow space on the streets) probably only 7 out of 10 times, but I can do it beautifully 10 out of 10 using Mr. Chen's tips! And he knows every details of the Red Hook (Brooklyn) road test site and will give you all the hints that make you feel confident in the test. Besides, Paly is a very enthusiastic receptionist at the school office, she answered my questions very patiently and assisted me in every aspect of this journey according to my requests. I really appreciated her help!“

“Choosing this driving school turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. Back in college and during my time working back home, I did some driving but never had proper lessons, and over the years, I completely forgot the basics. Gerry's calm and patient teaching style made all the difference. He has a natural way of making you feel safe and confident behind the wheel, even in the challenging environment of city driving, where traffic and pedestrians can be unpredictable. I also had the chance to practice in quieter residential areas, which helped me refine skills like proper turning and acceleration. It was such a well-rounded learning experience that I feel genuinely equipped to handle any driving situation now. The program didn't just prepare me to drive - it prepared me to drive well. The entire team deserves praise! Emmy, from the admin side, is a scheduling wizard. She went above and beyond to accommodate my tight schedule, making the process so smooth and stress-free. Wilma, who oversees the operations with her husband Gerry, truly leads a team dedicated to equipping students with the skills they need - not just to get a license, but to drive confidently and responsibly. Thanks to this school, I feel safer, better prepared, and more skilled than ever before. This isn't just a driving school- it's a life skill training ground. Highly recommend!“

“I passed!! Passed first time of the ‘actual’ test (long story but technically second time, first time I forgot my corrective lenses and could not take the test). Aubrey is super patient, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. He is always very helpful when I have questions. Not only did I passed, now i became confident in driving as well, can’t wait to rent a car and go on some weekend trips to upstate!!“

“Everyone I interacted with at the Grand Prix Driving School was courteous and professional. They very quickly got me scheduled in for classes with the driver I requested, Augusto. He was recommended to me by my friends and family who had recently learned with him and had all passed on their first go! Augusto is a very patient and encouraging teacher who will definitely let you know what you need to fix. I too passed my test on the first go with 2 weeks of three classes a week. Very happy with the entire experience.“

“I usually don't write reviews, but I had to in this case because they helped a lot. The owner and the instructor Yisrael, and instructor Catherine, both did an amazing job teaching me how to drive. This was from how to properly make turns, how to properly park, adjust your mirrors, and how to 3-point-turn. "Follow the 3 R's" will be said enough time that it was almost impossible not to recollect the saying during the exam. I did practice occasionally with family too, but it's not the same when you have instructors doing this every week for the last 16 years. They tell you exactly how to drive in the road and what the DMV is looking for. IT IS ALL ABOUT SAFETY. I took the exam once before about 9 years ago and failed. I took the exam this time around with Golden Key Driving School and passed, just in time for my new training. Couldn't have been more thankful and I highly recommend!!!“
