Lynn & Myra...
I worked with these women for around 2 mos. I have worked with two driving schools in the Long Island & Queens area in the past. I always had male instructors, and they would flirt, try to get a date w/me, ask me to take them to a store to get breakfast, or text their girlfriend on and off during my lesson. I was fed up. It had a negative effect on my focus and my wallet! I knew that these instructors didn't care. They were selfish and very unprofessional. I decided that A Women's Way, while pricey, was the best option. I was focused on obtaining my DL once and for all. Additionally, I wanted quality lessons that incorporated a deep understanding the why's" and "how's" of the driving and work with a school that TRULY understood the learning process.
I wanted an instructor who was going to make sure that every single move I made protected my life, and the life of others while on the road. Lynn and Myra shared that same mindset. They helped me to see that learning to drive is NOT a race, it's a process and everyone is different. Not all people learn the same way, at the same pace. So, the individual lessons, while expensive, help you to "customize" your leaning experience. Plus, the amount of wisdom they have is worth the price!
In the beginning, when I wanted to learn how to drive it was all about spending as little money as possible to learn the skill. Yes, I was hesitant to spend as much as I did on lessons with A Women's Way, BUT I tell you what...I would have saved hundreds of dollars if I came to them in the first place! Plus, Lynn's & Myra's passion, wisdom and heart is evident upon first meeting or speaking with them. If I had realized that I needed to learn in a certain way, and then align myself with a driving school that shared my values and beliefs about being a driver, I would have had my license a long time ago. And, I would have gotten it with A Women's Way.
Also, I did quite a bit of research on Lynn, the owner. I knew her story, purpose and incredible credentials in the field of Driving Education. She is so passionate about her work and purpose in within the industry. Lynn understood my desire to learn, and the specific ways I wanted to learn this skill. It’s no wonder she works with Myra (my instructor) who has tons of experience as well. Myra watches your every move - eyes, hands, and your legs to see your reaction time to step on the brake. She's also encourage me to be a confident and courteous driver, and never to let another driver diver's intimidate you, just trust yourself and your skill. If I made a critical mistake, she'd tell me to pull the car over and we'd walk through it. She'd ask me, "what went wrong?" "What did I learn from it?" and then.."ok, let's keep going, she'd say. Her work ethic and attention to your driving is impressive and inspiring.
My advice, make the most of lessons, be dedicated and fully present. Understand that yes...it is a financial sacrifice, you don't get use their car - (you will have to have your own for the test) and they only work with cash. While these can be looked upon as cons, it's a matter of perspective. The price of the classes made me take each lesson more seriously; not being able to use their car for my test made it SO much easier to build comfortably and confidence with the car I now use every day; (This was the car I practiced on in between lessons) Only dealing with cash reminded me of the personal sacrifice I was making to learn this skill every time I took that money out of my wallet.
Now, after years of self-doubt and lousy instructors I have my NYS Driver's license to remind me of my journey with A Women's Way. This journey was not easy, it was a fight to have the self-confidence, and focus to believe that I could do it. I wouldn't have been able to do it with Lynn & Myra, they are meant to do the work they do. I hope they know how important their work is, and that this lengthy review reflects that!
