I recommend the school Carmen the instructor is great she teaches you step by step In the 5 hour class she teaches how you have to drive in the road read more

Let me start off by saying that in the beginning Carmen did give me a little anxiety but that's something i had to face head one if o wanted to get my license. She gave very informative information that was needed to help drive better and her "Pizza" technique for parking is very helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't pass my road test last month because the guy i had was a complete a-hole, but i took everything i learned from Carmen and continued to practice and actually did pass my road test last week with only 10 points. I'm officially a driver now. -Marsha S.- read more

Carmen is the absolute best Over the years she has taught all 3 of my kids ..I have referred her to everybody looking for a wonderful instructor.she is patient and instills confidence in her students . Not to mention the pricing is great . You will not find a better school and instructor! read more

Do not go to this school. I failed my road test two times with this teacher. She has terrible road rage and was not patient at all with me. She would yell things out and bad mouth every other driver on the road. She is wacky and not a good teacher especially if you have anxiety about driving. On the day of my road test at the test site Carmen yelled at another driving instructor from a different school for cutting me off and called him a racial slur. Right before my road test. He didn't even cut me off. The day of my test she put me on edge and gave me anxiety. She is not calming and does not teach you the correct way to drive. Carmen also would change the car into reverse and park for me which didn't help me to learn. I recently started at Fitzgerald it's more pricey but its worth it. One lesson with Helen at Fitzgerald was better then 10 lessons with marsal. Your money will be wasted at marsal with the low quality lessons they give. Helen takes the time to show you little things with a calming tone and gives me confidence. She is so kind, patient and educated. The office is also very nice and easy to reach. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Carmen is very unprofessional please do not go here. read more

Marsal is an awesome driving school - Lisa is the scheduler and she does a fantastic job at fitting your child in a slot that works so well - even at last minute before a road test... Carmen is a wonderful person to teach your child. Very very friendly and trustworthy !!! You'll be very happy read more

PLEASE do not use this company to teach your child to drive!! The instructor was very racist towards my African American son. She told him " how did you get into Hofstra with a small brain," Your black how come you don't hang out in W... I find that ironic " and so on...I brought this to the attention of the owner and he's response, "she was just kidding."My son was so offended and hurt. We had to explain to him the micro aggression that he will face being a black male and how to manage those emotion.Disgusted!!!! read more

If you are an anxious or nervous driver....sorry you've come to the wrong place. The instructor I had was extremely impatient and severely exacerbated the anxiety I felt while driving. This culminated in our final lesson when she not only arrived late but also announced to me that she "was having a bad day". Once our lesson started, she became very impatient with how slow I was conducting maneuvers to the point of egging me on to go faster in a very condescending and unprofessional manner. I stopped the lesson right then and there because of how uncomfortable I felt being in the car. The instructor THEN went on to come to my doorstep and have a word with my parents. Horribly unprofessional, please do not waste your money here if you are looking for someone with patience and an encouraging attitude. read more

I was frustrated at first looking for a school and let me tell you thank god I found marsal driving school. Carmen is the best to ever do it! She deserves a noble peace prize, an award, a 10K bonus and everything else. Carmen knows her stuff!!! And her 5 hour class is like no other, she actually talks to you, interacts tell you things that matter because she actually cares! Trust me you won't be disappointed. Ask about her PIZZA PIZZA! She makes every class into a fun learning experience. You won't regret it. read more

Worst decision to take 5 hours road test course from carmen. She doesn't know how to teach properly and fails to tell you your mistakes. Extremely poor teaching techniques. She thinks that she is doing some favor and overly proud and arrogant. Her behavior is rude, humiliating and very unprofessional .on the day of my road test her anger was at next level for no reason. Instead of making me calm and confident she was constantly telling me fail fail fail.what I was wearing is none of her business. She gave me so much mental trauma on the way to my road test that I cannot describe here in few words. On reaching the test site she yelled furiously at the person who was standing outside his car and was in the queue for his test .she went and told the instructor that if I would have been in your place I would have failed him immediately as his cars break lights were on .She sneezed while waiting in the car and yelled at me why you have not blessed me. Imagine you are going to take your test in few minutes and you are sitting beside such a impatient and aggressive person ,what state of mind your's will be.Even my husband's colleagues daughter left in the middle after taking just 2 class because of her outrageous behavior although she had paid for 5 classes. Avoid going through such an ordeal. Avoid avoid avoid Strictly AVOID read more

Great school very helpful and accurate I felt comfortable the whole entire time always felt safe and good being taught by Carmen she's a great teacher I passed my road test first try in hauppauge never felt more ready for a test honestly 10/10 read more

We passed on the first try, Carmen was great. She gave us all the tips for the test, thank you for all the advices!

Stay away at all cost. This place is beyond unprofessional. They did not show up the day of the dmv road test. They were not in the office! They made me miss my road test. Don t have your day ruined. Pick another business and save yourself a headache. read more

carmen was great- i passed my road test on my first try thanks to her methods. not sure why the other reviews are so low.

Without MARSAL DRIVING SCHOOL's wonderful instructor CARMEN, I would not have gotten my driving license ! SHE IS GREAT !! I am in my early 40's and moved to LI from Queens. I was afraid to drive, not because of my TOTAL lack of skills but because this was new unfamiliar territory and I was afraid of other crazy drivers. I booked two packages with Carmen . Prices are very reasonable, less than anywhere else around, and each additional lesson / second package is discounted making this truly affordable ! ((side note: I tried another school a year prior and they were not only more expensive but didn't even take me on the main road, all they did was take my money.)) Book with Marsal Driving School save your time and money ! Carmen is SUPER friendly and VERY informative. She gave me little driving notes/lessons as we drove around during my lessons to make inform me of potential scenarios with other cars on the road. Gave me confidence to take control of the wheel. Practiced over and over until i perfected my 3point turns, merging lanes and major intersection turns. She taught me the infamous PIZZA parallel parking trick !! Carmen is also a defensive driving teacher, she taught me so much. I feel confident driving and owe it all to her ! She REALLY cares if you pass or not and I cried with her when I passed on first try !! If you want to pass your test, book with Carmen. Best decision ever !! read more

I just took my road test in Hicksville, I passed! (First time) Carmen's been teaching me and her pizza pizza technique is the best when it comes to parallel parking. Thank you so much!! read more

Thank you to Marsal for helping me pass my road test. And thanks to Carmen!! Carmen is very passionate about what she does and has a funny personality. Prior to Marsal, I had no driving experience what so ever. Carmen always put me at ease and was always very informative with every lesson. I passed my road test in Wantagh on my first try! :) thanks to Marsal and to Carmen (her pizza pizza technique will always stick to me). Their prices are also very affordable... So if u need diving lessons at an affordable price I highly recommend Marsal and Carmen!! They are the best!! read more
