    Violating the law piggybacking students. See below 3/11 teacher showed up on time for my first driving lesson (ever in my life- yes I explained this during booking my appointment) with another student in the back seat. I was expected to get into the car and drive on the streets of Jersey City to Bayonne to drop off this student. No review, no explanations, no practice in a parking lot. I was then going to have to drive to his next appointment and have them drop me off, making me late for work. None of this was explained on the phone. I have never been in a drivers seat let alone driven, let alone in a city. I feel this was Unsafe, unprofessional, and not the way to teach someone. A new student should be instructed on basic driving, off the road before being expected to drive on the road with unknown passengers. I have reported this to the DMV.

    Me lol

    Great school, thought me everything about the driving ,truck components and safety. Going to providence driving school was the best decision I've made.

My son was ready in the morning and explained that he didn't see his text until he woke up. My son texted the instructor in the morning that he is ready and the instructor rudely responded to find another driving school. Luis is very unprofessional and needs training in how to treat people with respect. You don't cancel somebody the day of the appointment.

I used his services over 10 years ago so prices might be way higher now but I decided to write a review because now my younger brother is going to embark on his driving journey. When I took my road test the first time I did fail (couldn't parallel park haha) but I was upset because the guy didn't take me anywhere to practice like he claimed he would. Second time around I got some practice right before the road test and passed! No refunds even if you fail by the way but when you do pass, he offers to drop you off to the DMV which is nice. Overall he is very patient and he could come off as rude or aggressive like I'll never forget I stopped at a red light but was blocking the intersection slightly so he said loudly "go GO you can't block the road" and so I just went haha but he wasn't mean about it. Overall I recommend him if you're local to the area.

    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!!

    My experience was one to remember and I'm grateful to know that businesses out here still…read moreconsidering customer service and not just profit. You all should try Revolution Driving School.

I got a call a few days before to confirm, and then 20 minutes before the lesson to confirm. Then, at the time of the lesson, the instructor called to tell me that while he was close by to the pickup location, he had something else to do in Edison and wouldn't be able to do the lesson. The scheduling person called me to reschedule the lesson, which I did for a few days later. Then the next day I got a text asking me to move the lesson again. Ultimately once I got a lesson, I was paired with Cathy who is the best driving instructor I have ever had. She was so clear with her instructions and patient. I already have my license but needed practice on the highway, so we did a 1 hr 45 min lesson for highway practice. My recommendation if you schedule a class here is to take whatever time they tell you as an estimate, and to ask to schedule with Cathy because she is fantastic!

Thank you, Kathy and Rahul, for guiding me all the way to getting my license--you truly deserve 6 stars!
