 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Never was behind the wheel before, they taught me everything I needed to know to pass my road test and learn how to drive. Noel is a great driving instructor, very knowledgeable and experienced whilst also being a very funny and entertaining guy simultaneously as a great teacher.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never driven a car before and was a complete beginner when I started lessons with Grand Prix Driving School. I signed up for the 18-hour package, and thanks to their excellent instruction, I passed my road test with flying colors! Most importantly, I now feel confident driving in Manhattan, which I never thought would be possible when I first started. A special thank you to Professor Perry, who was an amazing instructor. He is patient, accommodating, and has outstanding teaching skills. He also has a great sense of humor, which made every driving lesson enjoyable and stress-free. Our driving hours were always fun, and I learned so much from him. I highly recommend Grand Prix Driving School to anyone, especially complete beginners. Thank you for helping me become a confident and safe driver! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 7 stars review

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience learning how to drive with Perry as my instructor. I started with absolutely no prior driving experience, and thanks to his patience, clear teaching style, and encouragement, I passed my road test on the first try after 23 hours of lessons. I really appreciated how focused he was on safe driving habits while also preparing me specifically for the test. I highly recommend Perry to anyone looking for a great driving instructor, especially beginners!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perry was my instructor and he was great.  I passed my road test at the first attempt and have been driving safely and competently thanks for Perry.  While helping us to pass the road test is a priority, Perry didn’t stop at that; he tried to make sure I would be a really good driver who can drive safely on my own in various traffic and weather conditions.  I still hear his teaching my head when things get complex on the road.  I’d strongly recommend Perry and the school.
