Driving has been my biggest challenge and I'm glad I signed up for the 6-7 lessons package. Although I'm still a new driver I feel so much more confident. Andy helped me work on problem areas such as my left/right turns, steering the wheel correctly and merging. Andy was straightforward and didn't make me feel overwhelmed. Whenever I messed up he was very patient and would make me laugh and encouraged me to try again. Practicing with Andy has made me feel less afraid to drive and parallel park!!! Yayyy My experience with Gotham driving school has been excellent. Irene was super sweet she would always call me to check in on how I was doing and took care of scheduling my lessons and road test. She was super encouraging and caring . The Pre-licensing course was super useful compare to my previous driving school it helped me with road signs and how to approach situations you might come across on the road. Thank you Andy for helping me achieve one of my goals. I would recommend if you're looking for a Driving school to look in the Gotham website and signing up for Lessons in a package as they include everything you need. They provide the car, pick you up and drive you to the test.

I booked lessons with this school so that I could continue practicing. My primary driving school…read morewas extremely busy and the time btw lessons with my instructor could be lengthy. I was able to book a lesson right away. I mean like 2 days from booking! Seemed like this instructor had open availability.... but okay, at least I could practice. I got Julio (I did not read the reviews beforehand...) and it was the worst experience that I've ever had driving. This man kept grabbing the steering wheel, yelling about how people complain about him, told me to look at this car and that car b/c they don't know what they're doing, etc.. This lesson was a mess. The ladies that I spoke to were always pleasant whenever someone actually answered the phone.. They were helpful however they always seems disorganized and in a rush. I understand there's a lot going on in the world they just might be understaffed. I requested to change instructors right after that lesson. I got Ron and he is actually the reason I'm even giving this school stars. Ron was like a breath of fresh air. Calm, patient and able to communicate while giving pointers & critiques. He's still stern without all of the extra rah rah and I appreciate that. If you are going to book lessons request Ron. I actually took my road test this week and passed. But wanted to share my experience.

I had the best experience with Gold Success Driving School! Everyone I interacted with, from the…read moreamazing ladies in the office to Eric, who set everything up so quickly given my situation, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. My driving instructor, Frank Dao, is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. After going through multiple instructors at another driving school who never took the time to explain my weaknesses or how to improve, working with Frank was a game changer. He clearly explains mistakes, makes sure you understand how to correct them, and gives detailed, practical tips for everything, from mastering turns to parallel parking. Thanks to Gold Success and Frank's incredible instruction, I passed my road test, and I am truly grateful. I couldn't recommend them more!

Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and ended up…read morebeing a waste of both time and money. I did receive a refund for my unused portions of the package I paid for. I enrolled as a complete beginner and made that very clear from the start. Instead of receiving patient instruction, I experienced an instructor (Michael) who became frustrated with beginner mistakes and raised his voice during lessons. It was also extremely fast paced for a 20 lesson full package deal. On my third day I was being taught a 3 point turn and parallel parking when I was not comfortable turning onto roads and being centered on roads. There were also communication and scheduling issues. On one occasion, I arrived for what I believed was my scheduled lesson, only to find out the time had been changed without any phone call, email, or text notification. Despite the instructor being available, I spent approximately 40 minutes sitting in the vehicle while he stopped at McDonald's and handled personal matters rather than conducting the lesson. During multiple lessons, the instructor took lengthy personal phone calls while I was in the car, including highly personal conversations that contained inappropriate language. As a student learning to drive for the first time, I expected my instructor's full attention and professionalism, not distractions and personal matters. What ultimately made me decide to leave was being told after only three lessons that my remaining lessons and road test had been canceled because I was allegedly "too nervous." I had attended every lesson, was eager to learn, and had only just begun driving. Although I was offered another instructor, by that point I had lost confidence in the school's professionalism and chose to seek instruction elsewhere. Additionally, while waiting for one of my lessons, I overheard another student discussing a negative experience he had with an instructor named Frank. Under normal circumstances I would not place much weight on another student's experience alone. However, after everything I had personally experienced, hearing another student express similar frustrations further reduced my confidence in the school as a whole. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this driving school.

Phone calls from other students come through mid-lesson and he takes them while you're driving. Scheduling gets sorted out loud in the passenger seat while you're supposed to be learning a three-point turn. You're paying to hear about everyone else. Students who canceled on him. Students who failed. Students who went to other schools he calls by ethnic nicknames. Their names, their situations, their permits read aloud while you sit there wondering what he says about you to the next person. You're paying to be told you're the problem. Rushing, not listening, resisting his hands on the wheel, answering wrong, breathing wrong. He'll say he could teach you in two lessons if you'd just follow him, which is a neat way of making nine feel like your fault. You're paying for a clock that runs against you. He watches the time to get to his next pickup and hurries through the end of your lesson, then calls it extra time when he gives you five minutes back. You're paying to be mocked instead of corrected. Uber driver. James Bond. Grandma. Whatever gets a reaction. It's not feedback, it's commentary, and you're the audience. You're paying to eventually be told to leave. Because that's where every honest conversation with him ends. Not with an adjustment, not with a plan, but with God bless and good luck, which sounds gentle until you realize it's him deciding you're done. I stayed longer than I should have. Found another school, a calmer instructor, passed in only 3 lessons.

First Time Driver Here! Buy a Package and Learn to Drive with RUTH!! I promised myself that before…read moreI turned 50, I was going to learn how to drive. Scared and nervous were understatements. But once I got my Learners Permit (late July), I knew I had to get to it. Within a week of getting my permit I purchased a package and had my first lesson on Aug 2nd. My one and only driving instructor - RUTH - was the best. She was patient but firm. I cried during my second lesson and she gave me the pep talk I needed. I had never been behind the wheel of a car before but she encouraged me every single step of the way. Five weeks and 14 lessons later, I passed my Road Test (on the first try!!!!!). And two days after my 50th birthday, my NY Drivers License was in the mail. Thank you Ruth!!! Bronx Driving School is lucky to have you.
