I already had a driving license and had been driving 20 years in France, but when I moved to NYC I…read morehad to start all over again for a NYS driving license. Although annoying, the process was very easy. First I had to take the written exam at the DMV. I used the DMV app to study everything on my phone and also read the DMV workbook material once. I passed the test on Aug 27 at East Harlem DMV. Go early, the test and registration will be done in 15 min but the wait can be very long to then pay for the learner permit (2 hours). Once I had the learner permit I signed up for the 5h pre licensing class at Harlem Driving School because it is right in my neighborhood. They have such classes 3 or 4 times a week, I went on a Wednesday at 17:00 but you can do Monday and Saturday also. It was fine, but there was no AC (only fans) in the room when I was there on a hot and humid August evening. I then took 1 driving lesson (45 min) to get to know the car I would be using on road test day. The instructor gave me great tips about the exam. I decided to pay extra money to rush the road test appointment and passed it at the Bronx 233rd St location 5 days later. All in all the process took 25 days from the day I received my social security number to the day I passed the road test. License should come in the mail within 2-3 weeks. It was a good experience overall. On the day I took the road test all 4 students from Harlem driving school passed!

I liked them. Had a few different instructors as my days were not consistent. Worked out for me as…read moreI used to drive but had not for more years than I could remember. Had to go back to basics. A few different instructors allowed me to compare whether I was learning everything I needed to learn

I had a tremendous experience at Acropolis Driving School! They were so kind, communicative, and,…read moreof course, tremendously talented at teaching someone how to drive! I could not have asked for a better driving school to not only help me obtain my license but to help me to truly KNOW what it means to be a good driver. Right now, I am 32, and I last drove in a car when I was 16, but I never managed to get my license! This year, I decided I would become a licensed driver before the year was out, and Acropolis wanted to see me succeed in this endeavor. From trunk to horn, as it were, my experience at Acropolis was exactly what I hoped it would be. Firstly, the ladies at the front desk are so, so kind. I cannot say it more emphatically! Never will you meet nicer people who want better for you! Lissy, Estephany, and Iralda went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and calm! And everyone knows that a good feeling is key to driving well in the car. It really felt like a family helping you to drive. And I so appreciated their enthusiasm and bolstering. They even went out of their way to make some specific arrangements for me in terms of car and lesson schedule when I went to take my road test! They did not have to do this, but it really helped me to feel confident about passing and so they went above and beyond to help accommodate me! And I cannot say thank you enough! Acropolis is also SO organized. It is amazing. They would text me the night before every single lesson and always made sure I knew what my schedule was. If I needed to move classes, they would always accommodate me, and the classes always began and ended exactly on time! When it came to being behind the wheel, Acropolis very smartly kept most of my lessons with one instructor, but sometimes changed the car and teacher to help simulate real driving environments. This method gives you a core guide to learn from in a solid way, but also gives you access to different driving perspectives and tests your abilities to be in a new car with a new person. Acropolis also always has both the goal of making you an excellent driver and the goal of you getting your license in mind. These may sound the same, but they actually require two different skill sets from instructor and student. And both are equally important to seeing you onto the road! Acropolis gave both to me! During my lessons, my two main instructors were Miguel and Marlene. And truly, I cannot say enough about either one of them! Miguel was my instructor for the first half of my lessons. And he was such a calm and solid presence in the car when I was so nervous at first. Crucially, he really wanted to focus on the overall experience of driving. The important outcome in our lessons was not passing one road test necessarily, but that I really knew how to drive. I appreciate so much the core fundamentals of driving that he instilled in me and how at ease he made me behind the wheel. Marlene was then my instructor for the second half of my lessons! Firstly, Marlene is so cool and funny. And she has a knack for breaking down the complex module of driving into easily understood pieces that can be executed. She explained maneuvers to me in a way that I could think about while not in the car and review by myself, which was exactly what I needed. Marlene understands how to slowly evolve a student and how to get them ready for whichever road test they are taking specifically, which is a tremendous kindness. I could not feel more grateful for her instructions. TL;DR: Acropolis Driving School got me my license; what more is there to say!

I have nothing but good things to say about this driving school. Lissy is a sweet heart and she…read moreworked with my very tight schedule. I ended up taking 15 driving classes. Ariel is the best. He was patient and gave great feedback. I passed my test on the first try and if I ever had to do it again I would go back to acropolis.
