Leung's Driving School is a GODSEND.He will prepare you with everything you need for the road test. Shout-out to Alice at the front desk for being a dear, always greeting me with warm smiles and delightful chats.I've taken the 10-class package (90 minutes for five days), which is a bit pricey, but it definitely paid off, as I got my license now. On the first day, I was a bit nervous to drive since it IS Chinatown and all, but Leung made me feel comfortable in the car and is a great instructor; very observant and teaches effortlessly. On the third day, he was pretty late, so to make my lesson up, he let me drive all the way to the driver test site in Red Hook via highway (my first time) so that three students can attempt to obtain their licenses. To my surprise, I felt super confident on the highway and even drove them back as I absorbed the knowledge of what to expect on my test day. Really unexpected turn of events, but you might get this opportunity, too! My last lesson was actually right before the test, which, in theory, is great and all, but I was so nervous that day that I messed up routine things, which made me lose some confidence. However, even though my driving during the exam wasn't pretty (hit the curb during parking multiple times and had to basically stop the vehicle for jaywalking pedestrians), I STILL managed to succeed on the first try. Honestly, the test is extremely easy to pass as long as you're aware of everything you must do, which consists of signaling, looking over your shoulder, pulling out, stopping, parking, yielding to traffic and people, performing a broken U-turn, and pulling over.Those are the pros of this driving school. Cons would be my teacher taking time off to go to the restroom, which happened quite a few times, but it didn't really bother me much; just a heads up for anyone who expects to get the full 90 minutes each lesson (though I think he makes up for it, but then again, he teaches another immediately afterwards, so probably not). But hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Nonetheless, it's been a fun ride.Thanks again, Leung! Read Less
