This school is simply the best driving school our Island has to offer! With various instructors to choose from, you are able to find a teacher that works with you to excel in driving. The only thing I would change is how booked up the scheduling system is. It makes continuity between driving lessons hard to keep.

John

Island Driving School helped me tremendously. I passed my road test for the first time! All of the instructors were great. Thank you, Island Driving!

Jasmine

I enjoyed Bob’s 5 hour class it was very fun and informative. He was right when he said “you guys are going to want to stay longer than 5 hours” ??

Megan

Instructors are excellent and are very helpful in preparing you for the road test and also just driving in general. 100% recommend.

Nesreen

This is a great school .. all staff are amazing, always friendly and welcoming in the office and over the phone .. As for instructors, I was extremly lucky to have Anthony as my teacher, eventhough he is young but he has a great knowledge, he makes me feel so relaxed and have big confidence on myself which i really need to pass the road test, i give him 7 Stars not only 5.

Anika

Lenny is really friendly, and he knows his stuff! You can tell he cares about his students and wants them to pass.

Brianna

Wow. Let me start off by saying, today was the first driving lesson where I actually felt like I not only learned a lot but have it embedded in my head as well. While I didn’t mind the other instructors, Robert FAR surpassed them for me. You can immediately tell he has superior knowledge and training. I am someone who takes a hot minute to get my bearings together before I’m able to intake the actual lesson being taught. Robert had me repetitively go over the basics before jumping head first into the unknown. I appreciate that very much. I was having a difficult time in previous lessons with my turning and he made me feel at ease, in control and very safe. I left this lesson eager to get in the car again and again to practice what I was taught. I’m so excited to see what my next lesson will be to improve my driving! I feel like if I continue with Robert not only will I be able to drive correctly but become a master at it. Thank you so much! - Brianna

Great school

Amy

I had taken ten classes with another driving school prior moving to Staten Island, and failed my road test three times. I had pretty much given up hope when I was signing up for classes with Island Driving School.
But the instructors were different. Though I only had three classes with Island Driving School, the instructors made me more comfortable behind the wheel than before and I gained more confidence driving. This was exactly what I needed to pass the test. The 5-hour class was also actually pretty fun, with lots of helpful anecdotes.
I highly recommend this school to anyone uncomfortable with driving.

Helen

Happy New Year,cheers to a brand new 2022. Wishing you all luck, success and happiness. Just wanted to prepare for my road test with amazing lessons with the best instructors on STATEN ISLAND. I’m improving all the time and are ready for the road test. Truly, I booked a road test special with 30 minute prep and car for the road test. Praying that someone professional will assist me and never misinform me that I can’t book the 30 minute prep nor day of the car. It’s all in my package and the DMV hasn’t stopped working. Thank you for your time and cooperation. Gladly, I look forward to more lessons and passing my driving road test for the first time. Thank you
Kind regards,
Ms. Helen Kournidakis

Abear

Anyone that knows me knows one of my biggest fears is driving ! at 39 years old for both wonderful instructors Anthony V and Lenny B to teach me how to not only drive , but parallel park , K turn and shift lanes is beyond a miracle! I have a long way to get somewhat good and more confident. However these two gentlemen really had the patience and skills to teach an unteachable person (aka me)

highly recommend !!!

Gangaha

Back home we drove on the other side of the road. So, it was a task changing to US driving style. Out of many places that offer to teach, the Island Driving School was the best choice. Island Driving School provides you with the necessary training reliably. I am so happy with my decision to go with Island Driving School. Special thanks to Bob who was great with the 5hr class, and Anthony who taught key factors I needed to reach the goal. Trust me, I only had two one-hour lessons with Anthony! He is so good at teaching the K turn and the parallel parking ??
