If you want to learn to drive and pass on your first try, this is the school for you! I drove with Dwight (The owner) and he was very patient with me and not only told me what I was doing wrong but how to fix it. I was able to pass my Road Test within a month, 10 lessons and on my first try! Driving with Paradise, I was very comfortable behind the wheel. I took lessons with a school before this and did not feel at all confident. I am so happy I found Paradise Driving School and would recommend it to everyone I know who wants to drive because it was well worth it! Read Less

This isn't a proper driving school - it's a low budget one-man operation. I called 4 weeks in advance and the owner refused to book me an appointment without me going to his premises in the Bronx to 'sort out the details', which was an hour commute away. This was despite me even offering to pay upfront. I wasn't prepared to go, because taking a morning off work to make an appointment seemed unnecessary, so he reluctantly agreed to my appointment because I was a 'gentleman'. He offered to call me back to confirm but after not hearing from him for another 2 weeks, I had to chase him. He confirmed he was 'taking a risk' but would be there for my test and a quick refresher beforehand. On the morning of the test I roused myself from bed in the early hours and went to the driving test location. Before I left, I texted him to confirm the meeting location and the time. When I got off the subway in the Bronx I also called him and left a message. Both went unanswered.I then had to run an amazing race type morning, calling up other driving schools, cabbing around the Bronx, and desperately trying to find someone with a free car. I did eventually - I used Best Way Driving School, which was professional and kindly recommended to my by Pelham Driving School (who didn't have capacity). In hindsight, I could have called the day before to confirm the location. But I attribute my confusion to his inability to keep an appointment, even after I had to chase him repeatedly just to make it in the first place. The whole process was vague, informal and untrustworthy. Taking a morning off work to trek out to the Bronx and sit a test is hard enough, without having to deal with flaky, unprofessional business proprietors. Suggest you ignore his nice-looking website and go with one of the established driving schools referred to above. Read Less
