If you are new to driving and want to pass the road test, I highly recommend taking lessons with Revolution Driving School! Just passed the road test this morning and couldn't be happier! A bit of background: I am 29, born and raised in New York City, and petrified of driving. I am THE textbook definition of driving anxiety. Like,"let me sit down real quick on this bench right here and meditate before I have a panic attack in the car" levels of anxiety. Thing slowly changed the more practice I got with this school. I took 10 lessons with Kareem, who made me feel at ease right away. I felt like I was learning how to drive but also chatting with an old friend as well. I also took 5 lessons with Owen, who was a man of few words, but very precise with his corrections, and not overly negative or critical on me when I messed up. Then on the day of the road test, I was able to practice with the owner himself, Ibo. It was raining, I had the flu, and my confidence was at 0%. After an hour of practice on roads similar to the practice test, I felt prepared and was able to visualize exactly what the test would be like. Took the test, passed it with a few minor deductions, and now I have achieved the mythical New York State license! Again, highly recommend this school. The staff are super friendly as well, and the secretary is prompt with her reminders and her bookings of lessons and cars. read more

Great school! I am a foreigner and know how to drive, but I needed to get a New York driver's license. I signed up for 1hr road test package that includes 5hr class, road test appointment and 1 lesson on the test day with the car rental. Don't ignore this package even if you are a driver with 15 years of experience like I am. The 5hr course focuses mainly on New York State laws and rules that are a bit different from other countries. They also focus on what to expect on the road test and any small details and tips that might help you to pass it. On the day of the test I did practice with their car, which is 2019 Honda Civic. They give lots of pointers of what you might have been doing all your life and did not realize it not going to help you to pass the test, because it is wrong! So they will shape you up to be ready for this 10min road test and you are good to go! They are also offering stick shift lessons, so I want to try that as well. Highly recommend this school for anyone wants to pass their road test. They do offer rush road test appointments too so you can pass in few weeks and get your license! read more

I've had a great experience with Revolut Driving School. There were a few minor inconveniences due to some emergencies but every time the problems were resolved quickly and professionally and that's what counts. Due to some life circumstances I've been trying to get my driving license on and off for quite some time and I've driven with 5 different instructors Antonio from Revolut Driving School is hands down the best one. Not only he's an exceptional driver he's also a fantastic teacher and a great person. He knows when to be serious and focus with you on the road, when to distract you with a conversation (if you're too nervous before your road test for instance) and just in general treats you with respect no matter what's happening. After every lesson with him it felt like I've made some real progress and felt more and more confident. Even though I didn't start from scratch I was very rusty and super stressed out and after only 10 lessons Antonio prepared me for the road test which I nailed first try. Would definitely recommend his to anyone without exception. read more

I highly recommend Revolution Driving School and specifically Tom as an instructor. I took about 10 lessons here, about 7 of those with Tom. Tom is incredibly personable and kind, and is vocal in communicating what you do well and what to improve on. He is very knowledgeable about what to do, but also has the patience to explain what to improve on. He understands New York driving conditions like no other, and will help you learn to drive safely in a place that is more difficult than most. My girlfriend always commented that it looked like I had so much fun when I came back from a lesson and that's because it was always truly enjoyable to learn to drive with Tom and I felt like I learned something new each time. At 30, I knew it was time to get my license so I could enjoy driving, but I never thought I would enjoy the lessons too. If for some reason you haven't got your license yet, learn to drive here and you won't regret it, and may actually really enjoy it. The staff is also very good, attentive and easy to work with. read more

I would highly recommend Revolution Driving School to anyone. My driving instructor was Antonio. He has an upbeat personality and his lessons were very clear and detailed. In addition, he was punctual with every lesson that I had with him. It took me a few tries to pass my road test but he was optimistic that I would pass. He even called me after I messaged him that I passed just to congratulate me, which I really appreciate. Thus, I would strongly recommend taking driving lessons with him. Getting the driving lessons scheduled after purchasing a road test package was not the most pleasant thing, however, as I was not initially given a call to schedule the lessons, and I had to call after waiting one week. On the other hand, I received a quick response after confirming the schedule by email. Even though booking in advance is needed and the packages offered are a bit pricey (they do have a sale on them every now and then), Revolution Driving School is absolutely worth the time and money. read more

Revolution Driving School in Queens is a highly professional and excellent driving school with great administrative staff and driving instructors. I first started with a driving lesson to gauge my level of readiness after which Antonio my instructor recommended the number of lessons I would need. After having failed two driving tests with other schools I passed my test all thanks to Antonio - the best instructor I have ever worked with! The school is very well run, the booking process is smooth, they send you reminders for lessons and they are able to book the road test on your behalf. Antonio was exceptionally patient, funny and fun to work with. He is a very talented and skilled teacher who put me completely at ease and calmed my nerves. His techniques were excellent and easy to remember. After 5 lessons with him, I was ready for my road test which I passed all thanks to Antonio! I had a great time learning to drive with Revolution Driving School and the best teacher Antonio! read more

Just passed my exam today on my first try! I took the licensing course as well as driving courses with Yazuv. He is very responsible and very friendly. During my driving courses, he kindly pointed out things I did not do very well and he made sure I made progress on them by the end of the course. I couldn't have done this without him! The staff in the office is also very helpful too. They made sure that my classes went well and they will try their best to meet my scheduling requests. They don't oversell you things or classes that you don't actually need. I used to live in this neighbourhood so it is very convenient for me to come here. Their office/pick up location is right off a subway station. The Astoria driving test site is another bonus for choosing this location! It has very little traffic the day during my test. I highly recommend this school! read more

I am new to NYC and originally from South Africa. Back home we drive on the opposite side of the road which makes driving in America and especially NYC very stressful. Although I am an experienced driver, I had to retake my learners, 5 hour online course and then the actual road test. Originally this came as a surprise but I was also grateful to go through the process in my new home city. This entire process was simplified by Revolution Driving School. I live in Long Island City which is close to their offices and from Princess at the office to my instructor Antonio, everything was professional and made epically simple. Thank you for assisting me with the process and Antonio for the words of encouragement and friendship. To anyone looking to book a driving school, look no further than Revolution Driving School. I highly recommend using them. read more

Today I passed my driving test! It took less than 10 lesson and honestly I owe a huge THANK YOU to ANTONIO. He knows what the student needs and goes after after it to teach them, while giving the breather to let the student make mistakes and ask questions so he immediately catches the problem and explains it without making them panic. Before my road test he bullet pointed everything relevant to the test and we focused on it. Revolution Driving, thank you for being patient with me. PRINCESS, seriously thank you for being at the office. The kindest person, most understanding and patient at my worst times when I was sick. Thank you for being on top of finding me appointments when you know I needed them and checking back up on me. I can't thank you guys enough. Revolution, you're honestly an amazing school and anyone is lucky to be your student. read more

I had an excellent experience with Revolution Driving School. I used the school earlier this year for a 10 hour refresher for practice as well as the 5 hour pre-licensing course in NY. I highly recommend their school for hands-on driving. I recommend Arturo, their driving instructor. He's one of the best I've seen with his teaching methods. He was great in guiding me through the best ways to get a feel of the car, learn the NY streets and ace the DMV test. He's a pro with years of experience with road tests. He pinpointed my weaknesses on the first class and improved my driving step-by-step. All while making the classes really fun. Trust me, an hour of driving can be boring but he makes it enjoyable and is a good communicator with tons of wisdom. I was able to pass the test on the first try and credit to Arturo and his teaching! read more

Antonio is a fantastic driving instructor. During each lesson, he made sure that I practiced everything that the road test would evaluate me on (turns, stop signs, parallel parking, three point turns). If I didn't execute something properly, I would repeat it to fix the mistake, which I found really helpful as a newbie driver. He is extremely patient and positive, and is very clear as a teacher. If we got into a sticky situation during a lesson (like getting stuck behind an ambulance, or dealing with other drivers not following the rules of the road), he was quick to take control and get us out safely. I always felt very safe during my lessons. The office staff are also super helpful in scheduling lessons, and sending lesson/road test reminders. Thank you so much Antonio & Revolution Driving School! read more

Revolution LIC were so professional and helpful from the moment i contacted them for support with passing my test (switching from an overseas license). They didn't try to upsell me on extra lessons that I didn't require and were always very thorough with upcoming lesson reminders and details about my driving instructor. My driving instructor Antonio was a legend. He took me through my paces then we kept revisiting actions that i needed more practice on (i.e parking). On test day he was supportive and even took me through the antic test course with Google Street View so I was 99% sure of what was required of me. The proof of all Revolutions and efforts was that I PASSED ON MY FIRST TEST A huge thanks to Antonio, Emily and Ivelisse for all their support and professional approach. read more

I took lessons in this school and it was great! Finally I managed to pass the road test with their help. My driving instructor Antonio is great, he is an experienced driver, he gave me very useful lessons, tips on the road and taught me how to drive. I'm very appreciated for that! As for the school, they provide excellent service. Manager Galina helped with all my questions and gave me detailed information about everything I needed. Big Thanks! Also the school has an extremely useful option "a driving lesson just before the road test", it helps to warm up before the test, to get used to the car and makes you confident behind the wheel, it's very important for the road test. As I said, the Revolution Driving School is great and worth! Thanks Antonio and Galina! read more

When it comes to Revolution Driving School it is good customer service especially Emily. She is very helpful and understanding when it comes to nervous drivers like myself for the very first time. There is very good drivers. But the one instructor I had is Antonio. Very good very understanding and knows how to work with you, even if it is your first time driving. I recommend him to anyone who was nervous as me and can break you out of your nervousness baby steps. All I had was patience and following instructions is key. which is why I passed my road test first time for the many sessions I had with Antonio he was very helpful I paid close attention. And the main thing is learning how to control the car and move. Well recommended. Thanks man you the best. read more

I had absolutely no driving experience when I came to Revolution and I passed my test after about 17 hours worth of lessons with Tom. More importantly, I feel like I have a good foundation that I can build on thanks to him. With his background in teaching, Tom's a very patient and upbeat instructor, who cares more about making sure you develop good driving habits, rather than just passing a 7 minute road test. In spite the fact that New York driving can be frustrating at times, I looked forward to getting out on the road because Tom's positive and calm demeanour made me forget that and just enjoy driving. I'd also like to add that the Revolution Staff were very quick in scheduling and rescheduling lessons; they also booked my road test well ahead. read more

I am really satisfied with the service and results from the driving lessons. Where I can start: I took my driving lessons in Long Island City. The staff is great! I have two jobs and Elizabeth always worked around my complicated schedule. I had 3 different instructors, they were great, Sabrina gave great feedback but the best was Antonio. Antonio made me feel comfortable as a first time driver. He gives amazing tips, he was always on time and very professional. I took my road test in Queens and passed it on my first try. My last lesson was right before the road test, I practiced my parking, U- turn and the turning points. This made me feel overall more confident with my skills. In general, I recommend this school and Antonio as instructor. read more

I went to Revolution Driving School to renew my license. I just pass the road test. I highly recommend this school. *Friendly staff *Reasonable pricing *Good teaching, helpful tips and advice to drive well *And the best was my instructor. Antonio was very punctual, full of knowledge and went to te point and details as well. He gave me tips and advice to drive well in the very complex traffic of NYC. Keep in mind that is not only about passing the test; but driving well and safe. And by doing that and following his instructions, I assure you will pass the test. My experience with the school and the instructor was excellent. Thank you Revolution Driving School Thank you Antonio. Do not look further, call now and get your appointment with them. read more

I recently passed my driving test and I have to say I'm so grateful for that and giving all the credit to my instructor Yavuz and Revolution driving school. They're the most professional and courteous with great communication skills. They're always looking for the best interest of their client.I had to reschedule my appointment and they absolutely had no issue with that. Yavuz was extremely dedicated and focused on what were my biggest obstacles. He worked with me and gave suggestions and guidance which helped me to improve and become more successful at my driving skills. Their 5 hour class was super informative. I'm exceptionally happy and satisfied with their service. So happy that I found this driving school read more

I had a really phenomenal experience here! I learned how to drive abroad, but haven't done so in years and finally wanted my license in the US for a vacation requiring some driving the next month. So I wanted a few lessons and go straight for the road test within less than one month... Erica was amazing in arranging all my lessons and accommodating my timeline, shuffling things on multiple occasions to give me the best schedule possible. My instructor Shannon was an absolute professional. After a few rides I felt my confidence in driving come back and I passed the test without a hitch. He walked me through everything I was tested on, and well beyond to be prepared for any scenario on the road. It was a pleasure ! read more
