Highly recommend this driving school! I came to Formula One as a very anxious student having survived a nasty accident the year prior. I feel so lucky that I was paired with Henry as my instructor. He was both very patient and hysterically funny. The lessons were pricey but worth every penny. And reception was super friendly, too! Read Less

I have had a wonderful experience with Formula One Driving School and my instructor Eugene.  I initially was unsure about what amount of lessons to take, I did an evaluation lesson which was one hour. From that point I felt comfortable with the school's recommendation of 10 lessons. From scheduling the lessons and road test, to the five hour class I feel that Formula One has been incredibly helpful. I was called every week to remind me of my upcoming lesson and always called by the instructor when he arrived at my door.Before driving with Eugene, my instructor, I was very nervous while driving. I would lose confidence easily and did not feel comfortable. After only a few lessons with Eugene I began to feel much more confident driving. He was very calm, put me at ease and we had great conversation. I learned everything I needed to for the exam, and he answered all of my questions. Finally, when it came time for my test I was very nervous. Eugene told me, " Just drive how you do during the lesson, and you will be great." I passed!!! Thank you to Formula One and Eugene for this wonderful and unforgettable experience. Read Less

Don't recommend this place. I took the driving evaluation course and it was terrible the instructor was not patient as I could not understand him as much with his accent. He got inpatient with me and made me feel even more  nervous when he kept trying to explain something to me. As I was a first time driver he made me feel like I should of known how to drive already. Unprofessional people working here. Don't recommend. Take your money somewhere else. Read Less

My daughter had 6 - 1 hour lessons with Joel. He was punctual and professional, my daughter had an excellent experience and became a much much better driver. Joel took her to the road test in New Rochelle and she passed with an almost perfect score. I highly recommend Formula One and Joel! Read Less

Formula one was as determined as I was to get my drivers license! The instructor was patient detailed and helpful. After every lesson I was tested on what learned . This is really a great school this is what learning to drive should be like. I highly recommend this school! Formula is school that cares the staff is very accommodating especially making the lessons convenient for my schedule. They get five stars for being caring, accommodating , kind, persistent and professional! By the way" got my license " go to formula one because they mean business with lots of care!👍 Read Less

i really have to say that starting off, this is my second time taking my permit test over, last time i did it was in high school,  i have been going on a three year battle to get it back, not that i have, i couldnt think of a better place to have taken the five hour course, from the first phone call i was handled with such great service, mind you i had called around and there werent any open appointments until october, yes at first i was wait listed but because of their organizalitional skills, i got the call that i was in, i arrived early as thats when i could come, the class went great, ira was so funny and informational as teacher, mind you ive been driving for ten years, and there were things i didnt know..im thrilled to have everything done and i am using them for my road test as well, cant wait wish me luck!

I had the pleasure working with my driving instructor, Ira.  I am a cooperative student, but I am not a very intuitive learner by nature.  I came to him after failing my first road test with an instructor (from a different school) that I did not enjoy very much.  Ira is a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point type of teacher.  He MADE SURE I was ready before taking the road test.  With over 30 years of teaching experience, he has figured out all the science behind the wheels, so he made everything so easy to understand.  When he criticized me, it was always in a constructive way with helpful tips.  He even made a fool-proof sheet on parallel parking for all his students!  He has an intelligent way of building his students' driving skill as well as their confidence and mental security, which are extremely crucial if you tend to get nervous for tests like me.  He may be a bit old school for some people, but he reminds me of a caring teacher who really wants the best for his students.I passed the test.  Thank you, Ira and Formula One School!  You guys are the best!

I have NO clue why this place has such a low rating. I am from NYC so learning how to drive was a WHOLE new experience for me. The instructors are so nice, and they offer great tips for driving. They're very approachable and they will gladly answer any question. One thing that I love and really appreciate is how, whenever you make a mistake, they fully explain what you did wrong, and let you know that it's okay to make mistakes. I tend to beat myself up over it, and I've had the instructors pull over and explain that it's okay. As one of them says, "Rome wasn't built in a day!"The ladies on the phone are really kind as well. They're very clear with any question you ask, and they are just great people.My family has been coming here for YEARS, since the late 80's. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn to drive and to be calm on the road. Read Less

They are completely unprofessional and the women that they have working the phones are a handful. It's as if you're causing them an inconvenience by giving them your business. Look elsewhere and save yourself the trouble of having to deal with them! Read Less
