Let me just say that this is the best driving school in all of Connecticut. I don't like long reviews so I'll make this quick and easy to read: - I received A+ service from everyone I interacted with. - Brigam was an excellent tutor and I am so grateful for the tips he gave me during lessons. He made everything so easy. - Rob was the best person that could have taken me on to my road test. His knowledge seems almost limitless. I completed my driving test with a perfect score and I couldn't have done so without this incredible team.

I did my classroom requirement to have a driver's permit with Lewis via a promotion at groupon. Wanting to go on a budget my on the road driving class, I went to a different driving school as suggested by a friend because she said it is cheaper but I felt like the instructor dont teach me enough, doesnt gives me confidence, and makes me feel uncomfortable and just nervous all the time. Tried asking my husband to take me out to teach me but that too, didnt go very well as to his point, he isnt really equipped or good in instructing on driving.

When Im just trying to learn how to drive, it is very important that I gain the confidence I need. As much as I wanted to save money on classes to get my license, my main goal really is to be able to drive my son anywhere whole, alive and safe. So I enrolled at Lewis for driving classes. It pays off in the end. They were nice to me the whole time. Worked with my schedule very well and even pick me up at work and sends me home. Rob is so calm and funny i dont feel nervous whenever we do our on the road classes.

He tells me and gives me time for me to correct my mistakes and learn from it. Might not be important to some but it is to me. Today, I am very happy as I pass my road test with no comments or "X" on it. Thank you thank you! "Salamat" in Filipino

Both of my kids went to Lewis School of Driving and had great experience. They both passed the driving test on the first try. The school's staff and instructors are very friendly and hard-working. Jennifer is always very helpful and does her best to find lesson times that fit our kids' schedule. I recommend Lewis School of Driving with no reservation.

A great place to bring your child to learn how to safely drive a car. Very helpful from the online classroom sessions right up to the DMV driver's test that happens right there at the school. Highly recommended!

All 3 of our children attended Lewis School of Driving. The class schedule is flexible and abundant, giving them all the ability to finish at their own pace. The driving instructors are patient and clear and Rob was fantastic with putting us all at ease. For anyone with new drivers, the discount on insurance for completing the program is a needed bonus. Love this family run business and would highly recommend them!

Jen made sure I was going to pass my test and gave me the confidence that I needed. I would recommend Lewis Driving school to anybody who want to get there license.

We taught all three of our kids how to drive and only had them take the mandatory 8h theory classes with 2 hours of driving lessons. My oldest did the 2 driving lesson option (discontinued since) and road test with Fresh Green Light in Darien 4 years ago. Even though being a good driver the driving instructor the night before his road test told him that he would fail - I had to take him out to drive that evening just to bolster his confidence again.

He passed the next day without any points taken off. My middle one took the road test at the DMV in Danbury and did not pass three years ago - supposedly touched the grass parallel parking! I found out about Lewis School of driving and he went there. Took two lessons and had his road test the next week - passed without a problem. My youngest took two lessons with Lewis and passed two days ago.

Both had Rob as an instructor who was really great. My experience with Lewis: they actually seem to care about the students, scheduling lessons and road test was easy (we had long waiting times at Fresh Green light). Also, I thought the mandatory parent "lesson" was a lot more informative at Lewis. Fresh Green light focused mainly on distracted driving and kids being killed showing a lot of videos. Lewis did too, but also gave parents tips how to teach their kids how to drive and what to watch out for. The parent class at Lewis was run by the owner who did an excellent job.

Lewis School of Driving was recommended to me by several coworkers and I am so thrilled and happy that I listened to their recommendations. They were so accommodating and was able to work with my schedule and situation on a very short hand notice. I had Kevin and Rob as instructors both of whom were exquisite. They were patient and made me feel at ease. I felt very well equipped going into my road test. I would recommend this business to anyone. Thank you so much for all of your assistance.

I really enjoyed my experience here. As an adult learner, driving can be nerve wracking. Jen, my instructor, was super patient and always calm and collected. Her easy going nature really helped calm my nerves behind the wheel. She was also great at breaking down instructions in a way that I can understand. I honestly could not have passed my road test without her expert instruction, really glad I decided to take lessons here!
