I had the best experience with Gold Success Driving School! 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!

Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and ended up…read morebeing a waste of both time and money. I did receive a refund for my unused portions of the package I paid for. I enrolled as a complete beginner and made that very clear from the start. Instead of receiving patient instruction, I experienced an instructor (Michael) who became frustrated with beginner mistakes and raised his voice during lessons. It was also extremely fast paced for a 20 lesson full package deal. On my third day I was being taught a 3 point turn and parallel parking when I was not comfortable turning onto roads and being centered on roads. There were also communication and scheduling issues. On one occasion, I arrived for what I believed was my scheduled lesson, only to find out the time had been changed without any phone call, email, or text notification. Despite the instructor being available, I spent approximately 40 minutes sitting in the vehicle while he stopped at McDonald's and handled personal matters rather than conducting the lesson. During multiple lessons, the instructor took lengthy personal phone calls while I was in the car, including highly personal conversations that contained inappropriate language. As a student learning to drive for the first time, I expected my instructor's full attention and professionalism, not distractions and personal matters. What ultimately made me decide to leave was being told after only three lessons that my remaining lessons and road test had been canceled because I was allegedly "too nervous." I had attended every lesson, was eager to learn, and had only just begun driving. Although I was offered another instructor, by that point I had lost confidence in the school's professionalism and chose to seek instruction elsewhere. Additionally, while waiting for one of my lessons, I overheard another student discussing a negative experience he had with an instructor named Frank. Under normal circumstances I would not place much weight on another student's experience alone. However, after everything I had personally experienced, hearing another student express similar frustrations further reduced my confidence in the school as a whole. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this driving school.

If I could give them more stars I would. This school helped me reach my goal of finally getting my…read morelicense at this big age lol. Everyone was friendly and professional. Really set my nerves at ease. I failed my road test almost 20 years ago and never went back. My son challenged me to get my license. I had theeeeeeeee best instructor-- Krystal. She was great and provided feedback after each lesson and was able to tell when I was getting in my head. I had her for all 10 lessons. If you get her trust me you are in good hands. The entire team at San Juan was amazing! Don't hesitate to come here.

I signed up for classes at San Juan Driving School and was blessed to meet Alex. I had never been…read morebehind the wheel before and felt very nervous and apprehensive about driving. Alex was beyond patient and made me feel very much at ease, like I could conquer anything with practice and a positive outlook. Although I didn't pass my road test on my first try, I don't blame Alex as he prepared me to the fullest. I was able to control my nerves the second time around and owe it to Alex for being a superb teacher. The staff at San Juan is also very friendly and helpful. Scheduling was easy and my questions were always answered in a professional manner. I thank my instructor, Alex, for helping me meet one of my goals and highly recommend him for a first-time driver like myself or anyone needing to touch up on their driving skills.

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.

I took 10 lessons with Jaret and passed on my first try! I didn't have access to a car outside of…read morelessons (and had only touched a steering wheel three times previously w/ accidents each time) so it's all thanks to him! The driving school was able to pick me up for lessons, set me up w/ the included 5-hour class over Zoom, and picked me up/lent me a car for the road test. It was also very easy to schedule lessons that worked within my availability. Jaret taught me a lot of useful tips for the test (esp parallel parking) that no doubt helped me pass. I literally went from being scared to go behind the wheel to now applying for moonlighting gigs. Jaret is a cool-headed, polite, and respectful instructor. Even when I made some dumb mistakes (of which I made plenty lol), he never yelled at me or got angry. This def helped to boost my confidence. I actually looked forward to lessons and now have that same positive feeling w/ driving in general (I'm sure it will wear off eventually lol). FOR MY FOLKS THAT ARENT CIS/STRAIGHT-MALES: I chose Luna school because none of their reviews mentioned their instructors being creepy to or sexually harassing women, yelling, or otherwise being unprofessional unlike some other schools I looked into. I did not hear a single homophobic, sexist, or transphobic comment during my time w/ the school.

Passed the road test on my first attempt! Wonderful…read moreexperience with Luna driving! Staff is very friendly and helpful, specially Jordany, she is very reliable and efficient! A big thank you to the driver instructor, Jaret! He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, patient, and encouraging throughout the process! He made it easier to pass!! I'm so happy I finally got my driver license!! Couldn't recommend them more! 10 out of 10! THANK YOU!
