1st SGT Driving Academy Manhattan, New York

Perfect school for foreigners! The Sergeant gave me loads of helpful tips for driving in the US when youre used to other countries (Europe in my case). Thanks to him, I passed my driving test on my first attempt! Highly recommend!

My experience with the school was excellent from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and easy, and George was an exceptional instructor. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He took the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I was able to pass my driving test on the first try! I highly recommend 1st SGT Driving Academy and George to anyone looking for a quality driving education.

I am an international driver who needed to pass the road test to obtain a license and I highly recommend this driving academy and especially the instructor George to anyone seeking top-notch instruction. Their excellent teaching skills, invaluable tips, and abundance of practice materials ensure that youll be well-prepared to conquer the road test and beyond. Trust in their expertise, and youll be on your way to becoming a skilled and safe driver.

As someone who had major driving anxiety and who didn t think they would ever be able to drive, I can t recommend this driving school enough. George is an excellent instructor, and I greatly appreciated his patience with me as a skittish driver. Though it definitely took me a while to get over my nerves, George was always very supportive and encouraging. His wife was also incredibly accommodating when it came to scheduling lessons, which as a student I also greatly appreciated. You re in good hands here!

George is a great driving instructor! I had learnt how to drive internationally but hadnt driven in a while so ended up taking the 5 class course with George to refresh. He was extremely helpful going overall the major points of the test and I was able to pass on my first try! Would highly recommend the academy to anyone looking to get their license in New York

I had a great experience with 1st SGT driving academy! Scheduling lessons and the road test was very easy, they were really responsive and helpful. George is an excellent teacher, very patient and knowledgable. I was an international driver that hadn t driven in many years, so he really helped me relearn skills and prepared me for driving safely in the city. Thank you 1st SGT!

George is a great instructor. Very informed instructor, and a very understanding person. He will guide you through each part of the road test that you will take in Red Hook. I got the ten lesson package, and it worked for me, but if you are not confident in your ability to learn quickly, the 15 package will surely do the trick. He gives you detailed instruction on each majour part of the road test, especially parallel parking and three point turning. Basically, take your lessons with George. You can t go wrong. He will instruct you based on your particular needs, and he will make sure you pass your road test.

As an International Driver who is having to take the NY road test after many years of driving in the UK and Asia I found the 5 lesson package invaluable. George is an excellent instructor who guided me through the nuances of driving in NY, plus pointing out the (many) habits I had developed over the years. The schedule was created with my own working hours in mind and the test was scheduled early in the morning - so I could still get back to work if I needed to. I passed first time thanks to George and will definitely be recommending him to other International Drivers and new learners - like my son!

After failing a few road tests at another driving school, I was referred to this driving school. George has taught me a lot from the beginning and never gave up on me. He is a very knowledgeable and fun instructor that is willing to put his heart into your learning. George is fun to talk to and he will teach you everything you need to be ready for the road test. With Georges encouragement and instructing, I was finally able to pass the road test. I would definitely recommend this place to all who want to learn how to drive in NYC or refresh their driving skills here.

I had a great experience at this driving school! The driving instructor, George, was very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. I would really recommend the 15 lesson package, as it allows you to feel secure in your newly acquired driving skills for the road test. What George teaches is specifically for the road test so when its time to take the test, it feels familiar and you are prepared. Another thing to note is that this school is very accommodating when it comes to scheduling. Especially for someone like me, balancing school and work, George and his wife were able to make a schedule that worked perfectly for me!
