My 5 hour class was so enjoyable and educational at the same time, who said learning can't be fun? Bob V. was my instructor and we had a good time. I cant wait to implement what I learned in my lessons and road test; can't forget in real time after obtaining my license. Overall it was definitely a good experience.

My daughter took lessons here, they were so accommodating- she took Saturday lessons with Reggie and she passed her road test on the 1st try. She liked Reggie as her instructor as well. Thank you Reggie for having the patience to teach my daughter and for your general niceness. And thank you Island for the nice lady who helped me book Saturday appts

Everyone at this driving school is kind and patient. Listen to what they say, ask all the questions you have (even if you think the Q dumb) practice as much as you can, keep your cool during your test - and you will pass!

I was extremely nervous before taking the road test. I wasn't sure if I was going to pass or fail and anxiety began to settle in. Shannon, my instructor, gave me words of encouragement and reminded me that Gear, Steer, and Look would be the only ingredients I need to pass and I did! Trust the process!

My name is Jada Hunter and I've recently had driving lessons with Jerry about 2 days ago. This experience was terrible. He was very impatient and rude towards me. When I first got in the car he let me drive without explaining anything first & was in the car saying "scary" because he was scared driving with me. When he redirected me instead of explaining & teaching me the correct way he played a YouTube video.

I will not be booking any lessons with Island driving school anymore, fyi- the car was sooooo dirty and old. Overall, my experience was very rude, and dirty. It felt like the car was gonna break down bc it was so old. After my terrible experience I went with Delight Driving and it was a totally different experience, i had rob as an instructor & it was a completely different experience. I was patiently taught how to turn the wheel & control the car. I can't wait to book my next lesson with him! They're great. :

This is the best driving school in NY! I had tried another school prior and had a horrible experience. I am so thankful for the experience I had with you guys. The office staff was so friendly and helpful. Both my instructors worked with me and told me why I failed my test twice prior. They worked with me on my weaknesses when I was on the verge of giving up on my license and myself.

My instructors made me feel like I actually could do it and believed in me. I passed my road test with the help of my instructors at island driving school. I am so happy I found you guys. Thank you so much for helping me. You guys rock!

I have to admit I was quite nervous starting out to drive. It wasn’t until I took lessons with this school and had Rob as my instructor, that I felt more confident and was prepared for my road test exam. Although he is very strict and will call you out if you do make a mistake, he will make you learn from your mistakes and make sure you will pass your exam.

I am proud to say, I was able to pass my road test today with flying colors and it was all thanks to Rob. I 100% recommend him as an instructor if you are looking forward to not only learn how to pass the exam, but to learn how to drive in the real world.

I sent my daughter to this school after trying other schools and I am so happy I did, they were very professional, courteous and friendly, her Instructor Lenny was so nice and patient after just a few lessons my daughter passed her road test, I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get their license.

Firstly, the 5 hour lesson was brilliant! Not a single minute was wasted; we only got useful info. You won't be falling asleep in this guy's class! Oh, and make sure you bring something to take notes with, and give them a look over on the night before the test day... trust me on this. My instructor was Denise and oh boy, does this lady know her stuff! Now I'm a fast learner, sure, but 5 lessons was all it took for me to pass on my FIRST try. Now that is what I call results!

My driver instructor, Danielle, was great! If it wasn't for her, I definitely wouldn't have passed my road test on the first shot. She was very patient and understanding with me since I didn't have a background of driving. :) Thank you Danielle and island driving school !!!
