JR and Avery are great instructors! JR is honest and takes you through it with a very kind demeanor!! Avery is great at details of driving and getting the basics down too. I really felt myself improving with both of them.

I had a great experience learning with both Frank Dao and Michael Robledo. I took 8 lessons with Frank, who was extremely detailed and thorough in his instruction. He always made sure I understood what I needed to focus on and consistently reminded me of the key areas that would help me improve and be successful on the road test. His attention to detail helped build a strong foundation and confidence behind the wheel. Before my road test, I had my final lesson with Michael. He consistently reminds you of the areas you need to focus on and helps correct mistakes before they become habits. His patience, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me the confidence I needed on test day. He shared useful real-world advice and test-day strategies that made me feel prepared and relaxed. Thanks to the combination of Frank’s detailed teaching and Michael’s practical guidance, I was able to pass my road test on the first attempt. I highly recommend both instructors to anyone looking for patient, knowledgeable, and supportive driving instructors.

I am extremely happy with my results. I passed first try with my instructor. I had two different instructors. The day of the road test, I got about 45 mins of practice beforehand and breezed through my test. Come to this school if you want to pass your driving test first try. PS. they make everything a lot easier for you including the scheduling. The front desk secretary is very understanding and flexible when it comes to wanting to switch times for the lessons.

Fantastic instructors! I just passed my driving test thanks to all the help from Vlad. I was very nervous to start driving but Vlad built up my confidence quickly. He explained things clearly and slowly for me to help make things click. Superb teacher. I was worried that Manhattan would be so busy for lessons that it would be stressful, but the instructors direct you to quieter streets to practice maneuvers. Vlad and Morris are very positive and motivating so it kept me going. I highly recommend them, they’ll help you pass your test for sure!
