Delight Driving Rosebank, Staten Island

Delight Driving is inexpensive, easy going and fast! Tom was my instructor and he really helped me shape up my skills and taught me many new ones. He is very calm, kind and was always on time for my lessons. Im glad that I got him as my instructor. I started my driving classes the second week in March and a month later, after five lessons I passed my drivers test. Thank you Delight Driving!

Delight Driving goes highly recommended. Im breaking down my review in separate components. Booking: The website was easy and quick to book lessons. You can see availability for a few weeks in advance; I suggest to book about 1-2 weeks in advance to get your preferred date/time/instructor, but there is always availability regardless. Instructor: I took a total of 10 sessions with Kamila and she is an excellent educator and I highly highly recommend her. She is professional, respectful...
Read full review, kind and patient when teaching you how to drive, which is the type of person you want being your instructor, especially when youre starting something as anxiety provoking as driving for the first time. Kamila never yells or raises her voice; instead, she uses all mistakes as an opportunity to re-teach, remind, and give you opportunities to practice even more. There are so many skills Kamila taught me that I undoubtedly will use for the rest of my life. Shes also very honest about where your strengths and weaknesses are. Kamila didnt just prepare me to pass the road test, she prepared me to be a driver. Pricing: $50 for a 60 minute lesson where you are picked up and dropped off from your address is, in my opinion, an excellent price. I think this is the route to go instead of a driving school where there are weekly classes and you have to share your instruction time in the vehicle with other students. I also think this pricing is either standard, or maybe even more affordable, as I found $60 for 60 minutes at another SI location. Number of Lessons/Packages: Youre allowed to take as little or as many lessons because you can pay for lessons individually or purchase packages for a small discount (about $10 or $20 discount). I recommend taking more than 5 lessons. It feels so much safer learning with someone who has a brake and its better working with an instructor who is also aware of what is needed for the road test. Road Test: I passed on my first try. However, I do not recommend paying for the Road Test package they have. Its $90 just for the instructor to pick you up/drop you off and to use their car. Thats nearly double the price of their regular 60 minute lesson, despite road tests being a total of literally 5 minutes (or less!). Skip this if you have a car you can borrow and can make it there yourself. They did not schedule my road test for me, I did it myself on the DMV website (which I preferred and was easier this way). Five Hour Class: I didnt hate the five hour class despite it usually being something people dread. It went by quite quickly, we got a few breaks, and it was an opportunity to learn in a different way. I enjoyed the videos. Classes are only available Saturdays with Rob. If you take this class, you MUST be on time with your camera on the entire time. You have to be fully present and engaged; you absolutely will be called out if you have wandering eyes or if its clear youre not paying attention. You will get cold called too. Rob takes this class very seriously; he will remove you from the class and/or not award you your certificate. The one thing that I was uncomfortable with was that there was a student who had her face in view but you could not see the top half of her body and he said I want to see your beautiful face and beautiful body on the screen. I think there was a way more appropriate way to say please be fully on screen. I also didnt understand why a face wasnt enough; not everyone has amazing computer setups. The certificate comes within a week or so after the class. Overall, Im glad I used Delight Driving and I recommend taking classes with Kamila.

Delight Driving is a really great school if you re looking to learn how to drive. I took a few lessons with Tom and he was never anything less than respectful and motivating. He also gives out good tips and helpful instructions. Choose delight!

I can t thank Delight driving enough. After having fear of driving Yuri and Tom (instructors) and Rob (owner) helped me to overcome that fear. With the amazing instructors they have. Yuri and Tom. Thank you both so much for being so patient with me. I passed my toad test the 1st try. This school is amazing. So professional and the instructors are always on time. They are so patient and willing to help. I recommend for all who are searching for a great driving school. This place is the one !!!

I took lessons with delight driving after a failed attempt at another driving school. The people at Delight driving were easy going and always very polite and respectful. It was very easy to schedule lessons with them as they were very flexible with times. The lessons itself were great and I learned everything I needed to know in order to pass my road test. Overall it was a great experience and I recommend to anyone trying to take driving lessons.

I passed my road test yesterday in 5 minutes with Delight Driving. It s a great school, good prices, and they make it very simple and straightforward to get started with the process. They offer highway lessons which is very useful. My instructor, Yuri, taught me how to drive. He was very patient, encouraging, and nice. He helped me become comfortable with driving and taught me everything I needed for the test. He knows a lot and gives great advice so I recommend him.

Hello everyone, I am very happy to announce you that I have passed my exam. I am the person who did not anything about driving. First of all, I am office worker and do not have free time before 5PM, I was facing difficulty in selecting the school who can give me classes after 5 PM and over weekends. I searched all Staten Island schools they were not flexible for me. I am really grateful to Delight Driving School as they understand my problems and gave me Classes on my availability. My Instructor...
Read full review was Miss Kamila, who is wonderful teacher, she taught me the lessons in a nice and easy ways. She never lost her patience on my repeatedly mistakes. She gave me a-lot of confidence. She is the excellent lady and teacher. I had one session with our Head of the school, he pointed out and taught me the very important points of not only pass the exam but also important for safety also. I am really thankful to Delight Driving School specially Miss Kamila and highly recommend this school. I honored this school as My School. Best wished and God Bless you all

Where should I start ? I called Rob out of desperation. I took a lot of driving lessons in France (pardon my French mistakes here) and tried to take my road test a first time here and failed it. I was such a bad driver. I then called Rob. Rob was not only the best driver teacher I ever had but also the best coach I had in my life. He is such a kind human being, genuinely good and will take the best care of you. He s tuff but trust me it s worth it, he managed to make me pass my driver test even...
Read full review though at the time I thought it was impossible. I had the best time with him, the best driving lessons and I will be forever grateful for that. Thank you Rob. Thank you Delight Driving for being the best driving school and really taking care of your students. Louise

I d absolutely recommend Delight Driving! My instructor Kamila has been so patient and explained everything very clearly to me. She gave me really helpful tips and was more than happy to let me repeat steps as many times as I felt needed. Robert coordinated with the booking of the road test and was very accommodating (and funny!). Delight Driving was (in fact) a delight to work with!

I booked lessons with Delight Driving for my upcoming road test and the hours they offered worked perfectly around my work schedule. When I told Rob (the owner) the date of my test he offered me even more lessons outside the times offered to ensure I was prepared. I had a majority of my lessons with Kamila who is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She was calm, patient, and took her time explaining everything I needed to do or talking me through things I did wrong. If you ever have the chance to have a lesson with her I highly recommend it. Thanks to the lesson I had with her the day before my test I was able to pass!
