Drive Rite Academy Mid Island, Staten Island

I highly recommend Drive Rite Academy Staten Island. Sujata was my instructor. My experience has been nothing short of pleasant with her. She is patient and has the ability to put you at ease while preparing you for the road test. Sujata really knows her business and I cant sing her praises enough. Thank you for providing quality service which is often so hard to find. I should add that, I had very positive interactions with Jeff in the office, whom I experienced to be super responsive and efficient.

Ive only attended the 5hr class so far and it was super easy as long as you participate and stay in the camera your bound to pass. I will soon have my first driving lesson and hopefully its as smooth as that class

It was a great experience being a student here! My instructor was Jim and he was super helpful. I really enjoyed his way of teaching, all of the lessons were relaxing and fun. I passed the road test on my first try :) Highly recommend!

I have nothing but praise for this driving school. My driving instructor, Sujata, is a fantastic teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable in what she s doing, caring, and excellent at teaching people how to drive. I highly recommend this driving school and Sujata as a driving instructor. Thank you for all that you did! It was a wonderful experience. I m incredibly grateful. Also, I want to thank Jim for easing my anxiety with his stories and jokes on the way to the road test. It helped immensely Best, Philip (Nilan)

Super fast and chill. I took my 5 hour class no hassle I had it shipped and came within a week. The teacher in the class was also super chill answered all the questions and explained everything thoroughly

My experience with Driverite has been smooth and very convenient. I peruse the website and make the needed purchases by myself since I anxious introvert but Driverite always follows up with a call if I have any questions. The Staten Island prices are affordable and they also offer split payments such as Klarna. The website is very straightforward and manageable. I ve done a good amount of lessons with Ms. Sujata. She is knowledgeable, patient and very welcoming and warm. I tend to be an anxious...
Read full review perfectionist and got discouraged when I could not learn parking correctly at first but Ms. Sujata would warmly say focus on the progress being made , which would help me become more confident in myself in order to start correctly parking. Ms. Sujata is an amazing instructor who always motivates me with her words and her fashionable dresses! Because of her I am now confident enough to apply for my road test and I will party when I pass. Thank you so much Driverite for this experience, I definitely will recommend as you guys were recommended to me by my older sister.

Hey I loved the class last night it was very engaging lol a lil tiring but hey what class that 5 hrs long isnt .. I overall enjoy the instructor his attitude and thoughts were great .. also his extra attention to detail in showing or parking maneuvers etc .. overall a great experience.

Took the five hour class forgot the woman s name but she was very nice and thorough she helped with every topic. If you do decide to take the five hour class just a heads up you are recorded and you do need your camera on other people have told me no but you do. It s very long to sit there for five hours But regardless it was a good experience she does you videos, signals, road test prep ect. Everything you need to know to drive.

Drive Rite in Staten Island is an awesome choice for driving courses. I was always afraid of driving and postponed learning this skill for the longest- i m a bit of a late learner now being in my 30 s. Word of advice- don t postpone and just do it! From the very beginning, the receptionist Kim provided a warm and welcoming introduction that made me feel at ease with signing up. She never pressured me or tried to sell me anything, but was very clear in explaining what to expect from the packages...
Read full review and helped me book some of my classes on the spot. I had Sujata as my instructor throughout all my lessons and she is the best! She is patient, friendly, positive, and provided really good tips to make me confident in passing the road test. She taught me good tricks to use for parallel parking that made it a breeze, which is what many people tend to struggle with! I m happy to share that after several months, I was able to pass the road test on the first try. The key is to keep practicing consistently, not to have too many gaps in between, and to believe in yourself. If I ever need more refresher lessons, I would definitely consider coming back. Would highly recommend Drive Rite and Sujata for new drivers or anyone aiming to refine their skills.

Jim has been a game-changer for me in my driving journey. After struggling with two other instructors, I realized how crucial teaching styles are in understanding what is being taught. Jim has been so graceful and patient, allowing me the safe space to learn and correct my mistakes - without the unnecessary comments or attitude my previous teachers have given. His humor and down-to-earth nature made every lesson enjoyable and boosted my confidence immensely. I was at the brink of giving up on driving...
Read full review altogether before Jim came along. Im happy to say I passed my road test on the first try! Robert from DriveRite also helped in arranging each of my lessons and he has been so professional and kind. From start to finish, Im very grateful for the experience they have provided :)
