Behind the wheel was a great experience with this school. I’ve learned many things and felt that my driving improved a lot. The instructor is amazing and will help you tremendously.

We all have those crazy parents that yell when you break slightly too hard or when they think you’re speeding by going five miles below the speed limit. Thank goodness for A Jay, his calmness and personality really makes it easy to learn. He is open for mistakes and corrects them in a calm manner. He is a great teacher and I 100000% recommend. also, he works around your schedule for your benefit ;-)! Read Less

Ajay has been an amazing instructor. He is very informative, but not tense. He remained relaxed even when mistakes were made. He was also able to work around my changing schedule. He was able to get me started immediately and never had a problem with when I had to work. Anybody who is interested in learning how to drive should look no further. I cannot speak highly enough of 1st Choice. Read Less

1st Choice Driving School is a great place to learn how to drive and specifically, learn how to drive well. The In-Car instructor is a wonderful teacher and he is very knowledgeable, you can ask him any driving question and he always has the most up to date answers. Not only that but he has a great sense of humor and makes driving fun! Definitely try out 1st Choice Driving School. Read Less

The Behind the Wheel experience was really good for me. I was able to identify my weakness (parking) and make that a strong suit rather than the reason why I didn't want to drive. Ajay was a wonderful instructor and I was able to take the class with no struggles. Driving on 95 wasn't a challenge and I wasn't in anyway uncomfortable my first time driving on 95 which surprised me, but how the class prepared me there was nothing to worry about. I'd strongly recommend 1st Choice Driving Behind the Wheel with Ajay as it prepares you for driving on your own very well. Read Less

Ajay was such a great instructor and explains what you need to do in such a calm and positive way, let's you know if you've done wrong and why it's wrong and how to improve. He's so funny and patient and I caught on so fast and I'm more than happy i went with this driving school over anyone else. He is so convienent, he will pick you up at your destination and drop you off and will make sure you're set for the road by the end of the course. 10/10 would recommend this driving school!! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

Had a little difficulty getting a driving schedule organized with Mr. Ajay. He seems toreply promptly only on certain days. After the first session, I was on the fence of continuing with him because he seemed impatient. It was a mistake to continue learning with him. The way he instructs is to chastise you. A driving instructor should be patient above all else. Another key issue I had was about half the sessions, the instructor had personal hygiene issues. Although not completely overwhelming, a sweat / body odor smell lingered.It was the middle of summer to be fair, but the instructor also refused to turn on the A.C. and would not allow you to roll down the windows too low. Ajay, if you're reading this, please put on some deodorant. During the sessions, we would pick up and drop off other students who were also getting instructed. Meaning there would be more than one student in the car at any time. In one of these sessions, the other student and the instructor Ajay were conversating. The student had remarked that another student the instructor had passed a week ago hit and run a week after getting his license. Ajay seemed unconcerned. Take this as you will. In my eyes, there was a moral obligation to let the police know or at least correctly instructing a student so they don't hit and run a week after getting their license. Ajay was late 3 out of 10 sessions. Mind you that the students drive to the other students homes, but it would be much better if he were on time. Expect to have to wait 10 to 15 minutes extra and be home later than you'd like. After receiving your instruction expect to wait anywhere from 10-20 minutes thereafter for another student to drive you home. Some organizational skills could definitely be improved here.He marks you down if you can't slam on the breaks when a yellow light appears. Even if you have enough time to get to the other side. Yellow means slow down unless you can make it before it turns red, not slow down regardless of where your positioning is. Finally, if you want extra classes he charges much more than any of his competitors. I heard from other students that he charges based on how much he likes you. I would not include this point if there were no evidence. I'd asked other students who had taken extra classes and got different prices. One student's quote for extra classes were 50 dollars for 3 sessions and another were for 150 for the same. If you're a strong driver and believe you can finish in the allotted time, there isn't a need for this point. Take this as a note of his professionalism or rather the lack thereof and heed with caution.To end such a negative review, I will say that Ajay knows how to drive. He is really strict about his testing. You can ask him questions and he'd reply with good answers, although a bit snarkily. TLDR - Hygiene issues, impatient, late, unprofessional, but knows how to drive. Tread with caution, would take this instructor if I were really confident in my driving skills prior to his instruction and didn't mind my other points YMMV, god bless and have a great day Read Less
