One of my new years resolution for 2023 was to get my drivers license. I got it yesterday. Yay! This driving school schedules the road tests in New Rochelle, the speed limit is faster there (30 mph vs the 10-25 here in Inwood).I took my first exam in August 2023 with the other driving school in the area. The experience left me unsettled because the instructor there was quick to temper. I do not respond well to being yelled at, especially in confined spaces. It made me realize how important it is to be comfortable and build trust with an instructor.Luckily I found that with Greg Myers. He's a little kooky, but a good bean. He's got toy cars, a clipboard, and a tape measure....read full review
Greg is an extraordinary teacher! He is very patient, friendly and helpful in many ways. After each driving lesson, told me what I could improve on during my next lesson. I improved tremendously from the very first lesson to the last lesson. With Greg's help, I was able to pass my road test first try. Thank you Greg!!!
