After failing my road test over 10 years ago, I decided to give it another go and picked OWD as my driving school based on the reviews here. All the instructors I had (Walter, Erica, Jeremy, Rob just before the exam) were overall great teachers who not only showed me the tips and tricks for the road test and driving in general but also instilled a lot of confidence in me while I was behind the wheel, even when I was at my most nervous. Also, I got a lot out of the 5-hour class that was taught by Angel. This is the most encouraging group of people who want you to do well. It's a two-way street (no pun intended) -- come in open-minded and willing to learn, and they will help you as much as they can. I had no issues with scheduling lessons (even doing it week-by-week with my schedule) and with the reception when I had questions/requests. They also call you the day before to confirm/remind as a courtesy--a really nice touch. After 2-3 months of lessons (I had the 15-class package plus 1 extra before the test), I took the test in Fresh Meadows and passed with flying colors, thanks to them. TLDR: great instructors who look out for you, courteous reception, would recommend!!

The staff are very comfortable being unprofessional…read more They can't schedule a road test but took me to the location just to bring me back without taking a test. Was a terrible experience communicating with the staff! They never follow up when they tell you that they would. If you're are considering because of the cheaper prices I can assure you that it is not worth the price drop. That is if you will even be able to do what is promised within the bundles. They couldn't complete their own bundles requirements & had issues securing road tests.

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.

Really set my nerves at ease. I failed my road test almost 20 years ago and never went back. My son challenged me to get my license. I had theeeeeeeee best instructor-- Krystal.

The entire team at San Juan was amazing! Don't hesitate to come here.

I signed up for classes at San Juan Driving School and was blessed to meet Alex. I had never been…read morebehind the wheel before and felt very nervous and apprehensive about driving. Alex was beyond patient and made me feel very much at ease, like I could conquer anything with practice and a positive outlook. Although I didn't pass my road test on my first try, I don't blame Alex as he prepared me to the fullest. I was able to control my nerves the second time around and owe it to Alex for being a superb teacher. The staff at San Juan is also very friendly and helpful. Scheduling was easy and my questions were always answered in a professional manner. I thank my instructor, Alex, for helping me meet one of my goals and highly recommend him for a first-time driver like myself or anyone needing to touch up on their driving skills.

I am writing this on the day that I passed my driving test on the first try in Brooklyn, all thanks…read moreto the amazing and patient Erika (and with some help from Gus as well) from Revolution Driving School. TLDR - if you're a nervous or anxious driver, or have had difficulties with other instructors in the past, Erika is absolutely the one you should get started with. My apologies for the novel that's about to follow: To start off with, I am (or was), an incredibly nervous driver. While I had gotten my license by the skin of my teeth back in 2018, I developed a severe phobia after a bad experience on a highway and let my license lapse, not realizing that if your license is expired for more than two years, you can't just renew it - you have to take the whole road test again. When I learned this, I became so nervous that I started having insomnia and couldn't fall asleep - that's how nervous I was thinking about getting back on the road again. After completing my permit, I worked up the courage to book a lesson with Erika. Now, I've had my fair share of bad driving instructors - they often are gruff, not that great at teaching or explaining, and not great at making you feel comfortable or relaxed. Erika is the exact opposite. She is warm and supportive, without being overly so - you never feel like you have to put on a show for Erika. The day of my first lesson I woke up with full body chills and nerves, but I immediately felt at ease with Erika when I was in the car during my first lesson and knew I made the right decision booking lesson with her. Slowly but surely with each lesson with Erika, I got more confident behind the wheel. She positively reinforces when you do something well, and explains patiently where you can improve. She also steadily increases your abilities over time, slowly taking on new things like driving in a different neighborhood or on a busy street, without rushing you into something that can feel difficult. Since parallel parking is my achilles heel, she made sure to spend extra time walking me through this during our lessons. Leading up to my road test I also decided to take a couple extra lessons with Gus, who only just recently became available again for lessons. Gus has a very different demeanor than Erika - more reserved - and so while he may not be the best person to take a first lesson with if you are extremely nervous and anxious like me, I did find my lessons with Gus to be helpful and so the combination of working with both of them made me feel doubly prepared. On the day of my road test, Erika had the perfect demeanor. She made me feel assured, but never put undue pressure on me - she struck the right balance of being supportive without having that become a stressor in and of itself. She answered all my last minute nervous questions ("Can you walk me through again what to do if I think I'm going to hit the curb while parallel parking? What if I'm too wide?"), without ever making me feel bad about it. I was blessed with a clear day and relatively empty roads, but regardless of the good conditions I know I can owe the credit of my passing mostly to the patience and guidance of Erika. She is truly life changing - she changed me from an incredibly nervous driver who would break down into a ball of nerves even thinking about being behind the wheel, to a confident driver who according to my evaluator, did a "perfect" parallel park - something that I would NEVER have thought in a million years I would hear anyone say. All told, I did 13 lessons before my road test - 9 with Erika and 4 with Gus. While it's possible a less nervous driver could have done less (by my 10th lesson everything really started to click), I'm glad I did those extra lessons to make me feel fully prepared. I highly recommend Revolution Driving School, and Erika in particular, to anyone who is nervous or anxious about driving. While of course what happens on road test day is your responsibility, you will feel so prepared working with them. I can never thank them enough for giving me my confidence back!!

His technique for parallel parking the bus is fail proof! I passed the entire road trip skills test the very first try! If you have a choice, request Mario! I've met and talked to the owner Ziggy a few times and he is cool and friendly. There was another instructor that didn't seem friendly and a little detached and uninterested and didn't really add to my training. I won't name, because I don't know what someone is going through.

The driving school was able to pick me up for lessons, set me up w/ the included 5-hour class over Zoom, and picked me up/lent me a car for the road test. It was also very easy to schedule lessons that worked within my availability. Jaret taught me a lot of useful tips for the test (esp parallel parking) that no doubt helped me pass. I literally went from being scared to go behind the wheel to now applying for moonlighting gigs. Jaret is a cool-headed, polite, and respectful instructor. Even when I made some dumb mistakes (of which I made plenty lol), he never yelled at me or got angry. This def helped to boost my confidence. I actually looked forward to lessons and now have that same positive feeling w/ driving in general (I'm sure it will wear off eventually lol). FOR MY FOLKS THAT ARENT CIS/STRAIGHT-MALES: I chose Luna school because none of their reviews mentioned their instructors being creepy to or sexually harassing women, yelling, or otherwise being unprofessional unlike some other schools I looked into.
