I recently obtained my driver’s license after completing a comprehensive 12-hour beginners course. I highly recommend my instructors, James Sebastian and Lawrence Chris, for their exceptional teaching and patience. They imparted valuable techniques and demonstrated remarkable patience. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge Carlos, one of the founders of Nova, who kindly assisted me in warming up my driving skills on the day of my test at the DMV.

hey i’m 21 and currently a rising senior in college and liked nova’s driving school. ik ig it could be a challenge to choose which instructor you would wanna have BTW lessons like a class and if you’re really looking for an instructor to take BTW lessons, i would strongly recommend manuel! I took every other instructor but really liked manuel. He’s so funny, humbles you (but never in a bad way, he really wants you to do well while driving). He likes to teach you in a fun way while throwing some jokes here and there to build a good relationship with his students. Would recommend him or Diego (he’s also a rlly chill dude)

Great experience all around and I highly recommend Nova Driving School! I am nearly 50 and never had a driver’s license. I opted for the Ultimate Beginner’s package of 12 hrs because I had very little driving experience prior. I added another four hour package to help boost my confidence behind the wheel as I was a bit anxious with sweaty palms and everything! I took all my lessons with Jamie, who I cannot recommend enough. He has a great balance of instruction, insights, quizzing and visual aides, along with a dash of much appreciated humor. Once we determined I was prepared to take the road test, we practiced the route and Jamie instructed me on the potential pitfalls with exceptional expertise. Nova scheduled the road test for me and it was nearly identical to what Jamie prepared me for. I’m thrilled to finally have my license! Jamie’s words regarding safe driving will ring in my ears for a long time and I feel comfortable being behind the wheel.

Just took my driving test for the first time and passed! I opted to use Nova’s car during the exam and they set up the appointment with the DMV which took a lot of stress off me so I could solely focus on my driving skills. Martha was my instructor and she was amazing! She did a really good job at critiquing my driving, in a kind manner, as well as thoroughly explaining how I can improve. She noticed that my turns and breaking needed some work, then spent time really helping me fix those issues. I could tell she really cared and wanted to see me succeed. I would definitely recommend her and the driving school!
