Provided by YP.comI am 68 years old and had never ever had a driver's license. My husband who did all of the driving had passed and there I was without a way to get around. While working in the yard one day, I saw a pretty green Kia Soul passing by and noticed that it was a driving school. I I called and the people were so nice and courteous. I signed up and received a wonderful instructor named Darryl. He was the best. He was very friendly, encouraging, very patience and really in tuned to what I really needed to do in order to pass the driver's road test. No matter what I did wrong, he never lost his cool. I felt very comfortable with him. He taught me so much, things that I never realized that were involved in driving a car. Thanks to him I became a licensed driver on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 9:01 A M. Nova and Darryl - you both get 5 stars plus from me because you are simply the BEST!
Thanks!

Provided by YP.comI THOROUGHLY loved the professionalism and expertise of not only Nova Driving School and their employees (who were always warm, friendly, and accommodating whenever I had inquiries or concerns), but my driving instructor, Paul R.!!
I had my bits of anxiety behind the wheel, but he quickly ended that. He helped me to refine my techniques, pass my road exam, and to be a better, more defensive driver. He is a very kind, encouraging, laid back yet firmly spoken instructor who makes you feel like you are taking lessons with your own dad! I will recommend Nova and Paul to everyone in need of driving lessons and/or their license.
I APPRECIATE YOUR GUIDANCE, PAUL! :) Thanks again!

Provided by YP.comI have just passed my driving road test after a very useful practice with Senem. She reviewed important driving skills carefully and was very patient with my practice.
I had some trouble with my road test because I brought the wrong lease; so I missed one document in group D. Senem was patient to be there with me and helped me resolve this issue. Senem, thank you so much!
I highly recommend this instructor if you want to learn how to drive.

Provided by YP.comI have taken your classes at your driving school. Initially my classes were scheduled with Dash for a 6hrs session costing $365. Later on I had taken an extra lesson costing $90. I was told that I was ready for the test. However I couldn't clear it on my first attempt, in spite of getting a passing score !!
I spent another $195 for the second road test prep following by my second road test attempt (this time, the instructor was Paul who was pretty good). However I couldn't clear the second attempt as well, inspite of following all rules. The examiner stated that my turns had to be more stable and smooth.
All the hard earned money that I have spent ($650) is a total waste now !!!..
How can you guys encourage me to go ahead with the road test when I was not ready for it. Also, I was not told that in the actual road test, the examiner is gonna look at these minute details.
I never expected that I would fail in the second attempt !!!.. Totally disappointing !!!..Waste of my precious time and money !!!!..You guys just loot the money from people like us. Do u think I'm a money making machine or what ??.. Utter waste of money !!.. I would need a refund and/or more free lessons, until I'm deemed fit to pass the test.

Provided by YPmobileJust had my first lesson with Rosmery! It was great! I was nervous at the beginning, but by the end of those two hours felt really encouraged! I appreciate that Rosmery it very thorough and honest - she gives feedback immediately, gives short comments that don't distract me but really help, because she supports and at the same time gives valuable information. She started at the very beginning with me and worked on my driving skills little by little, so I wasn't intimidated at all, but accomplished way more then I expected in two hours. I didn't feel scared, but always felt cautious... I even drove back home!! Looking forward to the next class!

Provided by YP.comGreat learning experience!!
My instructor Martha is a kind lady who takes time and effort to really teach you how to be a great driver and does everything she can to make sure you learn to the best of your abilities.
If I were to learn how to drive all over again I would most certainly take the driving lessons again.

Provided by YP.comI have done 5 lessons with Nova so far and have my last lesson and road test in a couple of days. I feel like both my driving and confidence have improved with these lessons. Martha was my instructor - thank you, Martha!

Provided by YP.comI gave the school 4 stars since the first two days i had unhelpful instructor. However, the third day the instructor was very good and helpful I think his name is Dian (I am not sure). He is working on Sunday only. Then, I had the third instructor. She is fine, but she could not explain what should I do in details. In the road test, I had Martha who is very very good instructor. She helped me to know my problem in holding the steel and pushing the gas. She really did a great think for me.
Thank you Martha and Dian

Provided by YPmobileI had Martha for my instructor and she was fantastic. She calmed my fears and on the first day I was totally relaxed driving around the city. Francisco took me out for a spin on the day of my test and told I'd be fine, and he was right. I would recommend Nova to anyone who has a fear of city driving. They instill confidence and I would recommend them to anyone who needs to get their license.

Provided by YP.comGot a lesson from Julio right before my road test. He's a great instructor whose lesson dramatically and noticeably improved my driving. He had terrific tips and advice for both the test and driving in general. He was firm about what needed to be done but was ultimately very friendly and amiable. We had some communication issues but overall he was very clear. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for good, practical instruction.

Provided by YP.comThank you Martha. Thanks to this wonderful and very patient teacher, i had a very good learning experience at Nova Driving School, she took her time to make sure i got everything right, it was like learning from a friend because it wasn't just about the driving. There were times i was sure she was frustrated and maybe a little angry and disappointed but just explained the problem and the solution as many times as needed and that helped me a lot when i eventually took the road test. I got my license easily because of Martha, thank you so very much ma'am. She'd definitely be the first person i'll think of when anyone needs to take lessons.
