When my daughter turned 16 was so excited to learn how to drive. 5 Speed had been there for years and very close to my home. Sergio was so nice and pleasant in front of me but what he did to my child behind my back left her traumatized. She had just lost her father in the pandemic and was already dealing with alot of emotions. When she would come back from her driving lessons crying I was convinced that she was just nervous and emotional. No new driver is ever not nervous. Little did I know, Sergio would yell at her and verbally abuse her in the vehicle. One day, I was literally driving home from work and had to pull over by the driving school to calm her down before her lesson. End result she failed her first road test and we never sent her back there. Starting over at a new driving school was nerve wrecking for her because she expected the same treatment. She was much happier at the new school and was able to pass her test after getting over the fears and trauma Sergio caused her. Sergio needs to be reported for his actions. If anyone is willing to work with me on this please email me at malanipersaud@ymail.com.

The driving packages are very affordable, and I really like the fact that no one at Shore driving school tried and sold me a driving package that was expensive and for lesson I did not need to prepare for my commercial driving road test. I want to say thank you to Vanesha who is the customer service representative at the location on Jamaica Ave and Glen who is the driver instructor who did a wonderful job preparing me for my commercial driving road test. I passed the road test the first time I took my road test. Five stars are not enough for such a wonderful experience. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Not only…read moredid I come here for my Class D license, but they also played a key role in me obtaining my CDL Class B. I got my Class D in 2019 on the first try, thanks to the excellent instruction I received here. More recently, in November 2025, I passed my CDL Class B road test with the guidance of Instructor Glenn (first try). From the moment I walked in to sign up for the course, Glenn was there to walk me through the entire process and assured me he'd be my instructor. From that day forward, he equipped me with all the knowledge and skills I needed to succeed. Each lesson was packed with useful information, and Glenn's patience made a world of difference. If you're fortunate enough to have Glenn as your instructor, you're in good hands--he goes above and beyond to ensure you understand everything needed to pass. I would also like to thank the office staff, Anessa and Natasha. Both incredible, professional and transparent individuals who had the world of patience when assisting me schedule the road test. I'm incredibly grateful for all of them for everything they've done to help me along the way.

Everyone I interacted with, from the…read moreamazing ladies in the office to Eric, who set everything up so quickly given my situation, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. My driving instructor, Frank Dao, is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. After going through multiple instructors at another driving school who never took the time to explain my weaknesses or how to improve, working with Frank was a game changer. He clearly explains mistakes, makes sure you understand how to correct them, and gives detailed, practical tips for everything, from mastering turns to parallel parking. Thanks to Gold Success and Frank's incredible instruction, I passed my road test, and I am truly grateful. I couldn't recommend them more!

If you carefully follow and study his instructions, you will be well-prepared. I was extremely nervous throughout the process and honestly did not think I would pass but I did, all thanks to Frank (especially after failing my first road test 10 years ago). The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because my first assigned instructor was very unprofessional and did not take the lesson seriously. At the end of the lesson, he even asked if he could call me, which felt inappropriate and left me with nothing learned. I contacted the receptionist, explained the situation, and asked to be reassigned, which is when I was paired with Frank. While I was grateful for the switch, I do feel the school should have provided me with a makeup lesson since my first one was a complete waste of time. That said, I'm very glad that with only 4 lessons, I was able to absorb enough from Frank to pass my test. I do believe that if I had been given a proper makeup lesson with him, I might have finished with fewer points deducted.

    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!!

    I never thought I would actually LIKE driving. I was terrified for years and delayed learning to…read moredrive until my 30s. Then Erika, at the Brooklyn location, changed everything for me. She's one of the kindest, sweetest, most patient people I have ever met. She gave me the confidence and courage to get behind the wheel. I look forward to lessons and every hour I get to spend with Erika is a joy. Her laughter, her insight, and outlook on life is a blessing. She's taught me so much more than just how to drive.
