    Incompetent and unprofessional are the two words I'd use to describe my experience with Yisrael…read moreHannah and Golden Key Driving School. Let's start from the beginning. I booked their ten-lesson package, and from day one I knew something was wrong. My first lesson consisted largely of driving around the Dyckman Marina while the instructor was on the phone handling personal conversations. Unfortunately, this became a recurring pattern throughout my lessons. A significant amount of paid lesson time was spent listening to personal phone calls instead of receiving instruction, feedback, or guidance. The overall teaching environment was also unnecessarily unpleasant at times. Instead of maintaining a calm and professional attitude during lessons, the instructor frequently made sarcastic or snide remarks that added stress rather than helping me improve as a driver. Constructive criticism is expected during driving lessons, but there's a clear difference between professional instruction and dismissive commentary. Lateness was another constant issue. In almost every lesson, I had to wait for the instructor to arrive. Most delays were around five to ten minutes, but one incident was especially ridiculous. I waited approximately 30 minutes before being told by the office that the instructor was downtown and would not return for another two hours. I was advised to go home and wait for a phone call. Instead, I returned to the office myself later and found the instructor already there. Had I not taken the initiative, I strongly suspect my lesson simply would not have happened that day. Rather than apologizing for the inconvenience, the office blamed a surprise city inspection and dismissed the issue entirely. This pattern of avoiding accountability continued throughout my experience. After finally completing the ten lessons, it was time for my road test. My appointment was scheduled for 8:45 AM, and I was instructed to arrive at the school at 8:30 AM. That already seemed cutting it close, but I trusted the school's judgment. Instead, I spent around 40 minutes sitting in a car with other students before we were rushed to the testing site late. Because the vehicle was not present before 9:00 AM, the examiners refused to let me and another student take our tests. Again, instead of apologizing, the school blamed the DMV staff and claimed the examiners were under inspection by supervisors. Whether or not that was true is irrelevant -- it was the school's responsibility to get students to the test site on time. When we returned to the office, there was still no accountability. The office staff insisted "it wasn't our fault they had an inspection." The instructor himself gave me a half-hearted wave and walked out without even acknowledging the situation professionally. To their credit, they scheduled another road test for the following week and told me to arrive at 8:00 AM for a 9:00 AM appointment. I arrived early and waited until after 8:10 AM before leaving because no escort had shown up. At that point, I decided I was done dealing with this school entirely. The level of disorganization and lack of professionalism here is honestly shocking. Before spending money with this business, I strongly recommend looking into their history and reading other reviews carefully.
