What Our Customers Say

My daughter first started her driving lessons elsewhere, but she wasn’t very happy with the instructor after 3 lessons, so we decided to give Top Driving School a try—and I’m so glad we did! From day one, she couldn’t stop raving about her instructor, Yousuf. Unlike other schools where lessons were often cut short and she’d be dropped off 10–15 minutes early, Yousuf always made sure she received her full time!! He is friendly, personable, and made my daughter feel completely comfortable behind the wheel. She especially appreciated how patient he was and how thoroughly he explained everything, answering all her questions with care.
Now, she’s genuinely excited about her driving lessons! It truly makes a world of difference to have an instructor who is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also inspiring and encouraging. Thank you, Yousuf—I can confidently say that Top Driving School is the best of the best!

I’m an adult learner and I was feeling very anxious about driving and taking the road test. This school is the best and a BIG shout to Darius !!! Best instructor ever. He’s super effective in his teaching but also so nice and made me feel relaxed and confident while driving. I passed today! Darius was very accommodating and worked with me so I could get my lessons in and after a couple lessons I felt confident enough to take the test after putting it off for so long. The school also was able to squeeze me in for a refresh session right before I took the test which I really appreciated them making the time for. I took lessons with a different school in Bergen County, and I did not have a great experience with them (the teachers seemed disengaged and disinterested during the lessons and I didn’t feel that I learned well). Top Driving School, however, totally exceeded my expectations - I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anybody looking to learn to drive!! Don’t think twice about booking with them, definitely sign up! Thank you guys!!

This review is being written from my perspective as a parent. I was invited by Danny to ride along for the last of my son's 3 driving lessons so that I could personally gauge my son's abilities and be prepared to work with him. In addition to having a friendly attitude, Danny was a highly knowledgeable and skilled instructor who provided clear instructions, helpful techniques, effective praise, and constructive feedback. My son was nervous, but Danny strived to put him at ease with his patient, calm demeanor, checking in periodically on my son's state of mind and even adapting the lesson with driving routes that suited my son's level - not too overwhelming, yet still challenging enough. Most importantly, Danny taught invaluable defensive driving methods that will undoubtedly help avoid accidents. At the conclusion, he asked for my input and followed up with appropriate recommendations. The fact that my son looks forward to practicing driving with me is a testament to his positive learning experience with Danny, who has my strongest recommendation.
