Very happy with my experience with Gerry. He made me feel relaxed behind the stair wheel and prepared me well for the final road test. I would definitely recommend.

I want to give the BIGGEST SHOUT OUT TO ZACH! My instructor. I booked several lessons because I doubted myself, but my instructor did not. He had a great deal of patience with me. There was a mix up in schedule but Wilma and Zach were wonderful in correcting everything. Thank you!

I am writing this review as a courtesy to my friend who took the driving lessons with Manny ( one of the instructor) - he literally didn't give any instructions at all except showing my friend how bad of a driver he was. He was very impatient and irritated if you make a mistake and always had an attitude. If there is a negative scale for teaching efficiency, his is gonna be infinity. Otherwise, the other instructors are all pretty good.

A long overdue review! I had zero experience behind a wheel and was definitely prone to being nervous. Joel was literally the best instructor one could ask for. I didn't realize how much about road safety and practical driving knowledge I learned from him until I became a driver myself. Knowing how to maintain your position and avoiding getting stuck at the intersection is important especially in New York.
And not many drivers learned that through instructors. Even my friends who have experience for years find it challenging to maneuver through the traffic in the city. Wilma and Emy were also great and friendly working around my schedule.
