Vaswani is truly a great and patient driving instructor. He instructed my older sister, my twin, and myself - I am the latest success story in the family. He always works with me to answer questions I have during the lessons, never once have I felt jilted or like I couldn't ask even the simplest questions. I also recommended him to a friend of mine which goes to show how great of a teacher he is. I would recommend him to anyone with little to no experience, or if even if you have experience but want some more time behind the wheel. He is the person to go to when trying to get your permit and license. read more

Having previously failed the road test, I was very focused on passing the retake. My opportunities were driving more defensively and honing my scanning while driving. And, managing my anxiety around taking the test again. I met with Vaswani in August 2019 and told him exactly what my driving experience was and my nervousness around the test. Because I was also looking to do the BX Road Test and wanted a school to close by, Vaswani's Driving School was a great fit. I was paired with Carlos and from the first lesson he was straightforward about my driving strengths and what I needed to work on. Each lesson we had a targeted plan for what we needed to focus on, which made it very easy to practice and gauge my performance from lesson to lesson. Carlos was definitely a teacher who positively encouraged and pushed me to drive defensively while maintaining avid consideration for other drivers. And, I found Carlos' parallel parking technique to be more effective and simpler than I had previously been taught. In general, his tips around lane changing, turning etc. encouraged me to be decisive and ultimately become a better driver. I was able to pass my road test a month after starting with them so I would highly recommend Vaswani's Driving School and Carlos! read more

Fantastic. Let my New Jersey license w/NYS address expire. Excellent instructor, and staff. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Reasonably priced. I would recommend this driving school highly. Cliff Porter III read more

I had failed my road test with Vaswani Driving School after purchasing a package of 11 classes. His classes were too expensive and there was so much I should have been taught within those 11 lessons before taking my road test. Some people prolong the process of teaching so they can stay in business. I've only met one honest person within that school that really wants to help, the tall slim Dominican guy. After my instructor didn't show up due to weather conditions he was willing to still give the lesson in a blizzard. You won't be taught everything in that book, most is learned through experience but it's up to the instructors if they care enough to properly prepare you. This review is not to bash anyone but to educate those who are really looking to advance in their career as I did. 1. Finding the right school 2. Finding the right instructor 3. Remaining calm and confident Are key to passing the road test Email me if you have any questions about my feedback here: redmerie1108@yahoo.com with Subject: Driving Tips read more

If you want to do well and pass your test, this is the driving school to go to. A caring, funny and honest instructor that takes his time to identify and correct areas where you need improvement. Has a perfect parking technique that is sure to impress at the DMV test. Good luck! read more

I promised to share my experience with Vaswani's Driving Academy AFTER I received my Driver's license. Proud to say as of January 31st, I am officially a licensed driver . If there's one thing I can tell you about Vaswani, it's the fact that he is 100% professional, patient, diligent, and extremely Knowledge about driving. It's clear that Mr. Vaswani has extensive experience in driving and has mastered the technique to prepare beginners for licensure. I came across this driving academy through a coworker of mine, who had recently obtained her license through Mr. Vaswani's driving academy. Since our jobs require utilization of company vehicles, I had no choice but to take some lessons and work toward my license. It took me about 7 or 8 30-45 minute lessons to become comfortable behind the wheel, (again) and to mentally prepare myself for the road test. Vaswani assured me that I was ready for the actual road test, and that was all I needed to hear. The day of the road test, Mother Nature thought it would be a grand idea to snow. . I thought, "isn't this just great?" I sent Vaswani a text to ask if the road test was still on, he said it was, so I got my life together real quick, and got ready for the big day! Upon my arrival, there were 2 other female students there as well who was also scheduled to take their road test. All three of us were shocked to know we would be going together. When we got in the car, Vaswani turned around and said to us "three licenses today!" We all said yes, and began heading uptown to the test site. Before the actual test, one of the students and myself took turns practicing. We parked, made turns, did a few 3-point turns, parked a few more times and then before we realized, it was time. One of the students went first, then I was second, the other went last. Needless to say, WE ALL PASSED, on the same day! Need I say more?! If you're looking for a driving school that's going to actually PREPARE you and give you the confidence you'll need to ace the road test... I recommend Mr. Vaswani's driving academy. My experience was nothing short of amazing and I have to commend Vaswani for what he does because learning a skill like driving, takes time, and that is something he ensures he tells his students. My advice to everyone is; Take your time learning how to drive, listen to the instructor, pay attention (always) and remember the brakes are your friend! What I will say is, nothing comes cheap, you have to spend a little, to get quality service. So don't look for the cheap route because you'll be only cheating yourself. I kept telling myself the day of the test I would pass, I told myself that would be the last money I spend trying to get my license. (Because it adds up.) I'm glad I got my license, and you can have yours too when you have an amazing instructor such as Mr. Vaswani himself! read more

Vaswani Driving Academy - Passed my road test - Driving Schools Near Me - Bronx, New York

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Vaswani! He is hands down one of the best driving instructors in NYC. Vaswani is charismatic, funny, and supportive. He makes learning fun; I was genuinely excited to see him before every lesson. When I began with Vaswani, I walked in feeling nervous and insecure about my ability to earn a driver's license. During our initial lessons, he was very honest with me and let me know that I needed a lot of work, and he reminded me that I needed to practice from a relaxed/fun place. I am happy to report after several informative lessons with Vaswani, I was able to receive my driver's license last Friday!! I am an educator myself, so I know a great teacher when I meet one. Vaswani is an incredible teacher with an infectious personality! Learn from the best, sign up for Vaswani's Driving Academy. read more

I just got my license!!!! Vaswani himself was my instructor. A friend, who has been a licensed driver for about six years now, recommended him to me... and I also TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!! Vaswani is a very intelligent, knowledgeable, professional, patient, understanding, well informed, respectful, kind (yes I said kind), and all around excellent teacher and instructor. He asks you questions to make an assessment of your driving needs and your knowledge of what it means to be a driver, so that he can help you in the best way possible. And if you have questions for him, he is always willing to answer them. I totally appreciate his teaching style and the comfortable and real environment he created while teaching me to drive. He does what he says he is going to do, there are no surprises with him. He is definitely someone you want to do business with! He is very straightforward about everything, but most importantly, about what should and should not be done as a driver. He teaches the safety and mechanics of driving, but also the practical aspect of it. In a word, he is AWESOME!!!!!! By the way, his car is SUPER clean, and modern! :) When I started taking lessons with him was the first time I ever got behind the wheel of a car to drive, literally. I told him that, and also let him know, because I am an adult learner in my 40's (now driver), that I just wanted to first learn to drive, that I did not want to yet try to get my license. He was very understanding of my request. I started to take lessons paying as I went and eventually got into a package. I took as many lessons as I needed to be comfortable with driving, and Vaswani NEVER tried to hurry me into doing something I was not ready to do. He was very patient with me as a student, like I said. Also, yes, as previous reviews stated, he engages you in conversation - as he is teaching you to drive - and does put on the radio...and guess what...I TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT HE DID THAT!!! Why? Because that is real life, people talking to you while they are in your car, and music sometimes being on. Also, no matter what the weather condition, he will take you out there and have you learn to drive in it! I'm telling you, he thinks of everything! Lastly, If you need to learn to drive, the RIGHT WAY, then VASWANI is the RIGHT PERSON to teach you!!! But do not just take my word for it...go find out for yourself! ;) read more

Dayanna was the absolute best instructor! She was extremely patient and kind. She helped eased my nerves the first few days of lessons. As time progressed, I would then become so much more comfortable and gained so much more knowledge and understanding through Dayanna's teachings. She taught me everything I needed to know to pass the test and thanks to her on my very first try, I passed!!!! I'm so thankful for Vaswani driving school. I would highly recommend anyone looking to take lessons here. I'm so happy to have accomplished one of the biggest fears I've struggled with for so long. I am now a confident driver and hone the skills that I was taught though this school. If you are reading this, I was you at one point. Looking for good reviews and every reason to pick the right driving school. I'm here to tell you this is right choice. Dayanna thank you so much! You're the best hun! read more

I am not able to comment on the quality of the driving lessons because despite putting in a lot of effort, I was not able to schedule a lesson. I called the Vaswani school at the main number advertised here and on the website and Mr. Vaswani picked up himself while in the middle of a lesson, which I think is kind of unprofessional, and was friendly enough, but after I asked a few questions about his services he said he was in the middle of a lesson and that I'd have to call back. He didn't offer to call *me* back. I called back a few days later and was again told that he was in the middle of a lesson. This time he said he'd call me back when it was done, but after several hours I heard nothing. I called him back and left a voicemail and he never returned my call. I e-mailed him via the e-mail service on his website and asked him to contact me because I was eager to start lessons and he never e-mailed me or called me back. I realize this school's lessons have gotten great reviews, but if the communication and customer service is so bad that you can't even set up an appointment or get a call returned, why bother? I feel the school would do well to invest in someone in an office to field calls rather than the person in the vehicle who won't have time to field phone calls. read more

I am not sure why people have left negative reviews because this is the only instructor who was able to get me to pass my exam. I have failed this test so many times that I had pay the DMV $10 to be able to take the test again. Yes I am serious I failed 5 freaking times! I have went to 4 different schools, all highly recommended. And each instructor told me that I was a great driver and that I would pass. But each time I failed. This issue is not that I am a bad driver, it is my anxiety. I would be fine during the 45 minute driving lesson, but then panic during the test. I remember once that I was so scared the text examiner told me to speed up. I didn't even realize that I was driving only 10 miles an hour! I went to Vaswani as my last resort. I was really prepared to accept that I would never pass this test. After my first lesson, he asked me why did I think I didn't pass all those times. I told him it was my anxiety during the exam. Instead of just saying that I will be fine like the other instructors, he told me that he wanted to see me drive in a stressed environment. So for the next lesson he scheduled it for 5pm and we went to Broadway near 231 Street! One of the busiest streets during the worse time! I was sooo scared! I literally made all the mistakes that I usually make during my driving tests! From then on he was able to help me correct each of the mistakes and to keep calm when I feel panicked. He was the only instructor to really identify my problem and offer real solutions to help me. And on my first test after taking 3 lessons from him-----I FINALLY PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so awesome!! I was shocked when I read everyone else's reviews on yelp. I did not have that experience with him. I will say that the best way to reach him is on his cell phone, but and he always responded to my texts and calls. He is one of the best instructors in the Bronx and trust me, I should know because I have worked with 5 different instructors. He was the only to help me pass. I really really recommend him! read more

If anyone needs classes in driving, I took 3 classes and learned the do and don't of driving my instructor Vaswani was awesome took my driving test today and passed it thank you for your time and dedication to your students read more

I got my license today thanks to Elvin ...I took my last two lessons and my road test with Vaswami and he was great but the confidence Elvin instilled in me was invaluable...I recommend this school to anyone who needs to learn how to drive....if you don't believe me just check the google reviews they have almost 90 5 star ratings I think that speaks volumes.... PS they are instructors not magicians of you've never drive before don't expect to be a Nascar driver after ten lessons.... read more

Ok so I had to stop going to this driving school the instructor was none responsive he never returned my calls or text. So annoying. I live very close by that was my main reason for going to Vaswani driving school. The cars are filthy and smelly the office is clean but the vehicle are dirty and old. I would never suggest anyone go there. Do yourself a favor get all you lesson scheduled b4 you leave on your 1st lesson. Don't get roped into paying up front with out getting your schedule because when you call to book a lesson no one will answer your call and texting this people is a joke. You have been warned! read more

Great instructor that i had. She was tough but prepared you for what you needed to know on the test. I went to a different driving school and took the test and failed. I came to her and realized a lot of the things the guy from the other school was telling me was wrong. Really caring about her students. I passed my road test with just 4 classes! read more

Just got my license a few hours ago. I was taught by Joey, one of the two instructors working at the school beyond Vaswani himself. He was a good teacher, very pleasant to interact with but also very punctual and professional. He pointed out my weak spots and helped me fix them. I took the package that includes three 45min classes and the exam itself (being driven there, and renting the car). It was $33 per class, and $60 for the exam; very reasonable especially if you know what they ask for at Manhattan schools. The car I used is a Toyota Corolla. It is responsive and rather small; a perfect car to practice and take the exam in. The school is a 10min walk form the 4 line and the D line; also quite convenient (for me at least). I definitely recommend them. Good luck with your exam! read more

Ok. Grab a snack and c'mon back because this is about to be a lengthy review. 6 years ago I took the 5 hr class followed by the 5 lessons package and after completing all 5 lessons I wasn't quite ready for the road test. My permit expired and I never took the time to go back and take more lessons. Present day Im a mother and have noticed in more ways than one the importance of having a license and the freedom that comes with being able to get behind the wheel to get where ever you need to go. Vaswani makes the 5- hour class very engaging. He gives good instructions and personal tips on how to be safe on the road. Even offers financial advice and answers all answers with detail. This time around I made sure to purchase the 10- driving lessons package. By lesson 5 I was confident driving on the road but not so much with parallel parking and 3-point turns. By lesson 10 I was more comfortable parallel parking and making 3-point turns but alas- my nerves would sometimes get the best of me when it came to making decisions without Vaswani telling me what to do. I purchased 2 more lessons and scheduled the road test. On the date of the road test Vaswani gave one more lesson right before the exam and said "Darling this is as ready as you'll ever be" and I felt positive I would pass the exam. I failed the exam. When parallel parking, as I reversed into the space I HIT THE CURB! I knew at that point the exam was over but the examiner continued the exam and when it was over she told me I failed. Today was my 2nd attempt and long story short, I passed. Although my nerves were worse today than they were the first time around, I PASSED. I was so happy I cried tears of joy. I can say the lessons with Vaswani payed off. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I seriously would. I had Mr. Vaswani himself as an instructor, bought a package, and did not learn anything. I failed my drivers license test with him. I had him in highschool through my school's driving program. He was good then, and very gentle and nice with us students - but once I graduated and came back for independent lessons, he suddenly became mean and condescending! On top of that, all he does is talk about himself and his family. Over and over and over again. He is a very pompous man, and he would give me severe anxiety while I was driving. He also talks over me and talks down to me like I'm a damn baby. I remember one time he told me to turn too early, and he blamed me, and while I was turning, he kept on screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Extremely loud! Why are you screaming and making me anxious? Not only that, but his scheduling is really bad - after one appointment, he would schedule me a month out and tell me to "practice by myself and then come back". What? I am only saying this because I went to another driving school, only took 3 lessons, and I passed my test with flying colors! I learned SO much more than I ever did. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I go to this driving school and I sit there for a five hour class and listen to this man ramble on about how much money his son has in his savings and how many cars he has, where he lives and so on, all non essential things and all Unwanted self promotion. Fast forward to my driving lessons I got put with a man who came off as he could care less about teaching, and someone who rarely showed up on time for our appointments. I was quick to find out I became his errand boy dropping him off to various locations and having me wait in a car while he did whatever he was doing on my lesson times.. I got very vague instructions about driving. If you are looking to waste $450 by all means come to this place.. I went on to pass my road test all thanks to my practice outside of this school.. if I could give this place zero stars I would.. read more

Such a great driving school. Yes you must go through a 5 hour class and sit through videos but within those videos really shows you the consequences of other people who are victims of driving accidents be it the victim or the one driving. Whats well worth your payment is the accuracy and professionalism of Mr Vaswani when he is teaching you. He he will constantly practice with you whatever it is you wanna keep practicing just feel free to ask him . He has a fair balance of being easy going and following the rules of the road . You'll learn to be a great multitasker while you guys can vibe about any topic but he also will test if you are alert at all times . The fairest chillest and most professional teachers . Worth all the time and effort . He will also teach you the easiest method to parallel park just chill and relax . By test time comes you are fully equipped Thank you so much Bruh. Dary read more

Vaswani Driving Academy - License Achieved Thanks to Vaswani - Driving Schools Near Me - Bronx, New York

Really down to earth driving instructor. Not down your back when you make a mistake, and he has a really effective teaching method. Reasonable rates, and he teaches in a Corolla, which is a really comfortable car to learn in. Highly recommended. A bit far, last stop on the D train, but distance is relative to where you live. Again, great guy. read more

I was recommended here by a friend. I am looking for a respectable place of business that goes for quality as this will be my first time learning how to drive. I went there on a horrible rainy day after 2pm. The sign said they were open but no one was inside. I knocked a couple of times on the door and pressed their broken door bell, not sure if it even works. There were a lot of advertisements on the window and door at the front of the store which I found very distracting. There was a slot which held fliers of the pricing and services they offered. I was told that the pricing wasn't very competitive. read more

Vaswani Driving Academy - Thought I'd share this info for future prospects. - Driving Schools Near Me - Bronx, New York

I came here a few years ago when I first wanted to get a license. The instructor I had was this seemingly quiet man from Bangladesh who had boundary issues. He was a good instructor who taught me a few things, but was a bit flirtatious for my liking. He would constantly try to invite me to places which is beyond unprofessional. He would decrease the amount of time he taught me depending on how he felt that day! He would always make me feel like I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't even complete the classes and never went back. Absolutely hated it! read more

5 stars - a great value compared to schools in the city. I used them for a road test/quick driving lesson. As a seasoned driver who let his license expire, the road test process was much more difficult than expected. Joey was my instructor and was patient, friendly, and professional. He made this exhausting bureaucratic process as smooth as it could possibly be. Highly recommended. read more

One of the best driving academy there is, the instructors are very patient and excited about teaching their students. Some of the most humble and willing individuals that I've met here who never gave up on me. Even when I gave up on myself they pushed me to become the best driver possible. They are very flexible when it comes to scheduling driving lessons and have a host of packages to choose from or pay as you go. Trust me you'll get a bang for your buck at this academy and much more than just driving lessons but valuable life skills. read more

I wished I read some of the reviews before signing up for Vaswani's. I sincerely regret taking lessons with Elvin in the past. He was always on his phone while I was driving or had loud music playing and I did not even know what an u-turn was at any point during all my lessons. He said to watch videos, so I never had any actual practice. He did not teach me how to properly park. Also I was never taught how to observe any signs like i did not know while driving with Elvin that you have to stop and check to see what car/vehicle came first when you approach a "STOP ALL THE WAY." Sadly since I paid full for a package, it took me 6 months to finish up my 10 lessons so nothing was ever consistent. I eventually went to another school and passed my road test and that's why I am writing this post. I learned so much within a month at the new school with just a few lessons like SERIOUSLY while I learned NOTHING from Elvin during those 6 months!!! I thought I was a bad driver until I met an instructor who actually cared, taught well and made sure I knew the steps for parallel parking/u-turn. Tips for people who still choose to drive with Vaswani school: 1. Take the 5 hour driving class with Vaswani but then go for the actual lessons/practice with another school (trust me that is better for you)! 2. Do not pay in full for packages instead pay per lesson which is the smartest way to approach this school. When you pay in full beforehand, they do not take you seriously. (I would suggest taking 3-4 lessons to see if you are learning before taking any more.) 3. Make sure you are practicing with the latest car and not with an old car either. 4. If you end up with Elvin, speak up when he is just on his phone or playing music. He does not care about his students or maybe he chooses to care about people he can only speak Spanish with. 5. Choose Havemeyer Ave (streets are spacious) for your road test instead of having Elvin sign you up for Strang Ave (streets are narrow). 6. If you do not feel confident for your road test, do not take one extra lesson before your road test. You will NOT learn anything regardless instead pay more for no reason and it'll be a shorter lesson than the previous ones. read more

Everything started out great, but then after failing the road test twice under Vaswani, I knew that it was time for change. I had an unpleasant experience with another driving school, and I thought that this driving school would help me. I was wrong. Overall, Vaswani is a nice guy, but there is something about his teaching that is flawed. I spoke to a friend after failing to secure my license with the help of this school, and he said that he knew a lot of people that failed with Vaswani. There are other driving schools around with instructors that will go above and beyond to help you get your driver`s license. Research before you commit to this driving school. That was my mistake. read more

This man is the truth. I was referred to Vaswani by my sister in law. I went to his five hour class on a Tuesday night. It was awesome!!! His teaches you everything you need to know about driving and more. His teaching is very clear and professional. He never makes you nervous. His rates are very reasonable. If you purchase a package after the five hour class, he credits the money from the class ($35) towards the package! It's a win win here. I got a package of five driving lessons ($210 maybe). I was not driving before I started the lessons. It was fairly new to me. I became comfortable immediately with the brand new Toyota Corolla that you get to drive. Within weeks, I was ready for my driving test. I was more anxious than nervous because I knew that I had an awesome teacher. And sure enough...on my first try, I got my license. Going to Vaswani Driving Academy is your best option. It was worth every dollar. I am now a driver. read more

Perfect driving school. Mr Vaswani is the perfect driving instructor and is very very excellent.

My first ever experience driving was with a perverted money hungry instructor from another school who didn't care if I was ready or not for the road test and all they cared about was making THE MONEY. I went to Vaswani's? And when I say, these people are intelligent and amazing? They will HELP YOU PASS and be a good driver for life. My driving instructor was Dayanna and she's extremely patient and kind and tough. I know. It was amazing. Dayanna will always teach you something and make sure YOU STAY ON POINT. I suspect some of the other negative shitty comments about her are from people who aren't ready for the road test. Because with Dayanna? If you aren't ready? SHE WILL TELL YOU. And let me tell you how much time and money that saves you from taking the road test and failing it over and over. I got my license the first time I took it! Dayanna was amazing. If you have her as an instructor you're extremely lucky because this woman is not only the best? She'll make you an amazing driver and give you the confidence you need to take that road test as calmly and quickly as possible. Don't listen to the negative reviews. Dayanna will make sure you know how to drive and she's also going to be your biggest cheerleader when you feel like you doubt yourself and are struggling to make it. Seriously. GO TO VASWANI. GO TO DAYANNA. read more

I took signed up with him because my best friend mom learned from him that was 20 years ago. But now he's a horrible Instructor! No communication skills at all, lessons are spaced out way too far across from either once a week or once every three week. Classes are 45 minutes long depending on his mood if he's late or upset he'll end the lesson shortly, doesn't teach you everything unless you ask for it. I suggest another school other than this one, it's a hit or go when it comes to this school. read more

I didn't like this driving school. I started out with Elvin who I guess is a nice person or whatever but I took lessons almost everyday for three or four weeks and didn't feel like I learned shit. When it came to the road test, naturally, I failed. (woohoo) Let's go into detail: My first lesson was with Vaswani, and it wasn't fun. He did this thing where he tells me to slow down, then to speed up, then to slow down. To the point where I wasn't sure what the hell he wanted from me and I just wanted to go home. He likes to yell, regardless of what other people will tell you. He yelled at me while I drove and shocker, yelling at people while they drive will not enrich their driving experience. After that I was with Elvin and he was okay but I was always uncomfortable around him. Sure he means well but there was just something weird and creepy about the way he taught me. He would cram my lessons into like an hour and a half and I think the longer I drove the less confident I became. I definitely couldn't drive well with him after I'm PRETTY SURE he was watching porn on his phone beside me. After that I was pretty much fucked cause I was uncomfortable and couldn't focus. After I failed the first road test I went back to learning with Vaswani who mistakenly showed me his gallery on his phone in which there was a picture of AN ASS and I was RIGHT BACK at being uncomfortable and unfocused. This time I wrote it off to male sloppiness and not some type of perverted whatever. And I thought I felt more confident but those were just emotions, the fact remained that I pretty much still know nothing about what I need to pass the road test so on the second try I failed. Failed WORSE SOMEHOW. Maybe I just suck at driving, or maybe I'm bad a retaining information but I don't know. It might just be that these two particular instructors are ASS. read more

I took many lessons with Vaswani and failed the road test ,because I didn't learn anything from him.After just a few lessons at another driving school , I passed my road test ! Stay away from Vaswani Driving school.Do you really want to learn how to drive with an instructor who can't keep his eyes off his phone ? read more

I passed my road test today on the first try thanks to Diana! You were patient, calm and the best driving instructor I could have imagined! As an older first time driver I was hesitant that I could do this - but you taught me well and put confidence in me that it was not complicated at all!!!! Thank you Diana and thank you Vaswani for having an incredible instructor on your staff! I cannot believe how easy you made parallel parking for me! I feel like a pro at it! LOL - THANK YOU AGAIN! I don't think I could have done this with anyone else! read more

I had really high hopes after the 5 hour class here only to be let down. My instructor is Dayanna and scheduling is the worst. My lessons are so spaced out that I everytime I get in the car it feels like the first time. Half the time I don't even feel as if I'm being taught, just told what to do but the problem is I have no real knowledge of the road and what's best. There's just very little clarity in her way of teaching. I do wish I could give a better review as she is a nice and patient person, but she just isn't getting the job done. Once I have my last lesson and fail the road test that follows, I'll be moving on to another school. Any recommendations yelpers?? read more

I just started a new job and was in need of my license. Vaswani driving academy has a great reputation which encouraged me to reach out to them. I had the pleasure of getting lessons from Dayanna. She is pleasant, patient and a professional. Needless to say I passed my road test!! :) Thank you! You guys are great!! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Vaswani's driving academy. He is a great instructor who brings over 2 decades of driving knowledge. He is very personable and makes you feel very comfortable when you are on the road. He ensures you are ready for your road test and makes sure there are no short cuts. He will not schedule your test if he does not think you are ready. He is definitely busy as people are lined up for his classes his reputation precedes him. read more

Bad experience,I had Elvin as a instructor. Most of the time he was a half hour late to pick me up in the mornings at the school. Instead of teaching me how to drive,he would be on his cell phone talking to his wife n daughter while directing me into super heavy traffic like Webster and gunhill. He never taught me how to park properly he would just watch me make mistakes n hit the brakes n say turn right turn left,see u got it. Then 3weeks later he would get upset if I made a mistake. I didn't not realize the flaws until a regular person taught me how to drive.(I learn more from YouTube n simply reading the DMV book.) He didn't START me off in a traffic free area. I paid for 11 lessons all the lessons were two, three weeks a part and I basically paid for him to stay on his cellphone. The very last lesson I had to payed for,he made me get out of the car n search for a ATM 5mins B4 my test instead of simply waiting to we get back to the school,he kept nagging and nagging about the $40 and stating MY BOSS IS A JEW. YOU KNOW HOW JEWS ARE ABOUT THEY MONEY,causing me to be upset and more nervous. This may be a good driving school but Elivn is not a good or caring instructor. read more

Wow it saddens me that Mr. Vaswani has gotten any negative reviews. He's been such a respectful, polite, professional instructor. He's actually the best instructor I've ever paid for. After about 6 lessons, I took my exam and passed! His teaching and patience is very commendable. Yes! He's very busy!!!!!! For the most part, there's no one in the office because he's always on the road giving lessons. He tries his very best to accommodate every student as his days begin very early and end in the evening. He's always booked which should show how great his instruction truly is. I really could disagree with all the negative reviews. If you want an instructor who is really going to help you pass and live in the Bronx area or are willing to travel, I'd definitely would call to set up an appointment. Please do not get discouraged if he cannot take your call immediately, he truly is busy teaching. And make sure you call when you have your permit!!!!!! You need that & a 5hour class certificate before you begin instruction. If you don't have your 5 hour certificate, he gives classes twice a week. You won't be disappointed. If you want to pass your road test and get practical lessons, go to Vaswani Academy. read more
