A-Club Driving School

I had a great experience with A club from Mary Ann who you will speak with to schedule all driving lessons to the instructors I had lessons with Michelle and Jeanette and they were both so good clear instructions this was well worth the money I took six lessons and passed my road test! If you are looking for a driving school a club is the way to go

I was able to get my license with just 3 lessons from this school and 3 from a prior school. It was very easy to schedule appointments as they had a calendar of all the bookings/availabilities. My instructor was Michelle and she provided good feedback and helped me prepare for the road test by reinforcing good techniques. Would recommend this school to any interested in getting their license.

Ask for Jeannette! I have had few instructors with A Club and they all are very good. I am in particular impressed with Jeanette! She is an excellent instructor. With only two classes she eased my nervousness and was able to clearly explained everything I needed to know on the road in a way that's clear and concise. She took time to explain traffic rules, signs, and was able to demonstrate who has the right to go first for different scenarios. Jeannette also took great notes and communicated well what I need to watch out for, in real time. I really enjoyed taking the lessons with her and I will highly recommend her for beginners and people that want to brush up on their driving skills.

We had a great experience with this school for my teenage daughter. We'd purchased the 6 class package which included the 5 hour lesson and scheduling of the road test plus taking her to and from the road test. My daughter had Janette as an instructor for all 6 lessons and I would highly recommend her. She was patient, calm, kind and gave her great feedback and some useful tips for the test.

The day of the road test, she had another instructor, Sebastian, who took her to the test and was equally as nice and was able to calm her nerves and also give her some great tips and feedback going into the road test, which she then passed! I will add that because my schedule was ever-changing with work, I had to reschedule multiple lessons and even the road test on two separate occasions to a later date.

I gave a couple days notice in each instance and they were really good about it. They seem to be pretty busy lately, so as another reviewer recommended, I would make the lessons in advance as best you can to get on a good schedule and routine.

Very limited availability on weekends and i would not recommend the instructors at this school at all, especially if you're a new and nervous driver. I had two instructors, one basically provided zero feedback unless i directly asked for it and was late on several occasions, and the other couldnt empathize with the new driver/nervous feeling at all which made my lessons more stressful than they needed to be.

Their lessons are also only 45 minutes and they will not do pick-ups, even if you're in the neighborhood. Other schools i looked at offered hour long lessons at the same rate and would pick you up and drop you off in front of your place. My experience with the office was fine and professional, but unless you're a seasoned driver and just need some refresher lessons, i wouldn't recommend this place.

I highly recommend A Club Driving School! I had very little experience driving in the past and decided to pay for the 6 class package that includes the 5-hr lesson and use of the school's car for the road test. My instructor Jeannette was calm and patient and was able to provide great feedback after our lessons. Today I passed my road test on the first try and could not be happier!

Thank you to Sergio for your helpful last minute tips before the test. One thing to note, they are very busy and appointments get booked up quickly, make sure to book in advance if you need your lessons on a specific day/time.

Had the best experience here so helpful and professional run business. Would definitely recommend this place to learn to Drive. Thanks for all your help guys.

I would suggest everyone to choose A Club because they are very professional and know how to do their job very well. The staff is very kind and always ready to give information and help you. My instructor was very good and she gave me a lot of advice before taking the driving test. I am very happy that I chose them.

They have a good team! I highly recommend this driving school. All the instructors are very good at what they do however, I have to say that Michelle is one of my favorite because she was my instructor most of the time. And Sergio gives the best advice. Thanks guys. I'm elated

I have called ahead to postpone the class, because of an emergency meeting. They have told me that I should have called 24 hrs before and cant take it anymore. Paid $275 for 5 classes and one is gone for nothing. They could have given another chance. What is this? SAT exam? Job interview? It is just a driving practice. So many cheaper options out there and better car quality. I have picked this one, because it was close to where I lived.

I took 6 classes with Howard & Jose, and I passed the road test the first time! They both have different methods for parking & driving in general, but I found it to be helpful getting 2 different instructors just so I can see which way of driving fits me best. I appreciate that none of them yell at you if you don't understand even the most basic instructions. They're nice, patient, & don't push you to take more classes (even if you do need them). I'd recommend coming here especially if you're a nervous driver.

Great driving school. I had Jeanette and Howard as my instructors. They were very helpful. I didn't have anyone outside of the driving lessons to practice with so I wanted a place that was an area close to the city that gave me the driving experience like a new yorker with heavy driving traffic. Passed my driving test the first try and ready to learn how to drive on the highway

Such a great experience with A Club! My husband and I each signed up for their 6-class package. I've driven before, but years ago-so was rusty and nervous, and my husband had no prior experience. Our instructors were very knowledgable, helpful, friendly and patient. They provided us with great instruction as we practiced through Sunnyside, and helped to build our confidence behind the wheel. It's a small business, so there's extra care provided to their customers-this morning the owner of the business met me and my husband to drive us to our road test, and gave us encouraging advice while we waited our turn. We both passed on the first try. Definitely recommend A Club- while Jeannette was my favorite instructor, both Howard and Louie were also great to learn from!

I don't like this driving school based on the merit that it's the worst school in New York City, they care only about the money not the students. I don't recommend this school to anybody.

These people don't care about the student drivers. they just care about money I saw their book and almost every body who has been their student failed. they want to come back so they get money.

I cannot speak to the quality of the class itself as I walked out 20mins after the start time of the class I was there to take since A.it had not even begun, B. there was NO AC, C. it is one very small cramped room. They seemed nice and their reviews are great but for this lady that's not enough to sit through a five hour class in a over packed hot box.

This is a great Driving school that has been around since the 60's. They must be doing something right! I suggest sticking to one instructor because once you get used to their method of teaching its hard to switch to other instructors. I have tried 3 instructors at this school and i highly recommend Jeanette. Very patience, lets you have complete control of the car (not constantly stepping on breakpad unless you make a dangerous move), provides you constructive criticism and points out your mistakes.

Make sure you have an instructor that highlights your bad habits, you will need to change this for your road test. I bought 12 lesson package and i was never behind the wheel prior to starting my lessons. I passed my road test the first time with a very grumpy and mean inspector. When you take your road test, try to ignore the fact that the inspector is in the car with you and act confident.

If you are confident your driving will reflect that and the inspector will think you have complete control of the car. They are some inspectors that like to be condescending and enjoy having complete power so don't talk back and just ignore their attitude if you end up with an inspector like i did.

I came to A Club as a very rusty driver (I haven't driven for several years). I passed my test in England many years ago but needed to take my road test here. I took two lessons with Jeanette the week of my test (I really appreciated the post-work evening slots). I higher recommend her. I'd been feeling very apprehensive, worrying about making a stupid mistake on the day, but she did an amazing job of making the lessons nice and chill and putting me at ease.

We fitted in lots of useful practice into each lesson and she gave me excellent tips and pointers for the road test. The car was nice and compact and the rates were reasonable. On the day of the test Howard took me over to the test site in Astoria. We had a great chat and again he did a wonderful job of putting me at ease and giving me useful advice.

I passed with a perfect score! These guys car about encouraging and embedding good habits that will stay with students long after the test and make them safer drivers. I'd definitely recommend for both new drivers and foreign drivers like myself looking to get a NYS license!

Request Louie to be your instructor! The best and coolest teacher! He trust his students. I only attended classes with him 3 times and I PASSED THE ROAD TEST ONE TAKE last Tuesday! Oct 9 in fresh meadows. He really cares for his students. before me and dmv inspector went to the car he said "goodluck lally " like a father telling to her daughter " don't forget what i thought you ".

This school is highly recommended price and convenience. They drive you to the road test location. thank you so much Louie, see you again soon. After passing road test on one take i realized i saved a lot of money and time. Taking second one cost money and time. highly recommended!

A little bit about me first, I got into a very bad car accident when I was a kid. It put me off driving for a very VERY long time. So as I reached 40 I made it a personal goal to finally learn how to drive. A Club was incredibly receptive to my issues and extremely patient. They helped me around my issues and instructed me in a very methodical way which is how I prefer to learn.

I don't want floaty responses I want black and white and that's what they gave me because I asked for that. I passed my test on the first try, I can't tell you how amazing it felt to finally overcome this obstacle. I did it with their help, not just one instructor, all of em. Just great people and a great experience. I would fully recommend A Club Driving School.

Although my husband John is a licensed driver, he had not driven for a few years and since we will be soon be moving to Florida he felt he needed some brushup. He signed up for three double lessons with A Club, and was assigned Jeannette as his instructor. He said Jeannette was very professional, knowledgable, and patient. She pointed out minor mistakes that he was making and got him road ready in no time. He said he would recommend Jeannette to anyone who needed to both sharpen their existing driving skills or pass the road test.

A club is great! Instructors will prepare you for the test in a few lessons. Everything that the examiners ask for the day of the test they will go over with you thoroughly. They are great with making an appointment that fits your schedule! The day of the test you won't be disappointed

I totally recommend the A Club driving school, especially Mr. Howard. He was very patient kind, supportive and positive. I took 8 classes and passed my road test. Sergio and Janine were so helpful too as they patiently scheduled my classes around my work hours.

I booked a 6 lesson refresher course with A Club. Scheduling lessons was easy over the phone and receptionist was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Instructor picked me up from my house so that was pretty convenient. I had most of my lessons with Dino. He was hands down the best instructor. Very laid back and made me feel so comfortable even though I was really anxious and down right scared of killing us both.

He gave helpful hints and lots of encouragement and wasn't overly critical. He said that all I needed was practice so he didn't critique every mistake I made which would have overwhelmed me. I would highly recommend Dino you won't regret it! Unfortunately the reason why I am giving only 3 stars is because I had one lesson with a different instructor, Jennifer, that was the worst.

A complete 180 from Dino. The receptionist described her as "tough" but that is a much nicer word than I would use. She was so negative and down right nasty. She gave me attitude and made me feel so uncomfortable I did my worst driving with her. Really awful. Stay away from her if you want a positive experience driving.

New owner is a bit of a wreck. Could not find receipts from previously paid amount. and while it was acknowledged that I had received some services the new owner would not give the remainder of what was still outstanding in credit to me. In front of a class of other participants in the school portion she started banging things around on her desk when she finally agreed to honor a portion of what I had already paid and then started crying at her desk. I have never been more uncomfortable but had to remain in order to get the safety school certificate. In a million years I would never recommend.

I went to this school for my first set of lessons, I failed my road test. I have to say Howard was nice however after my bad experience i went with another school in which i was told, my driving skills were poor and i did take road test again and passed with flying colors.

Thank you AClub driving school for all your help in helping me learn to drive and pass my road test! Special thanks to Elena and April for being such great instructors. You ladies really helped me build my confidence up. Thanks to Louie for driving me to my test and being so positive. If you live in the area and are looking for a good driving school, look no further!

I'm fine with this place.they're usually friendly to me. They do call my phone a lot which does get to me sometimes, but I can understand that they have to receive payments sooner or later. They have two very good teachers there who I highly recommend, Elina and Debbie. I've had all my lessons with both of them and they are stellar driving instructors.

Of course, they both teach in their own way, but they're both great. As long as you pay on time and you pick the instructors that you're most comfortable with, then this place is extremely helpful when it comes to preparing you for your road test.

A friend recommended me A-Club driving and now I am so glad that he did. I am absolutely satisfied with their service. The staff was very helpful and friendly all the time, I even had to ask them to reschedule my road test appointment and they took care of it with total ease. I paid $225 for a 5 lesson package including the car rental for the road test, later I paid for two extra lessons because I wanted extra practice before my test but nobody ever pushed me to buy a bigger package or more lessons, opposed to other schools I visited that wanted to make me buy a big package.

This school is affordable and has great instructors, I felt very comfortable during my lessons since day one. The instructors helped me to improve my driving skills and gave me great tips for the actual driving test. Now I am much more confident in my driving ability. I recommend A-Club to everyone who needs to learn or improve how to drive.
