NJ National Driving School

I took some classes with them a few months ago and my experience with them was mixed, mostly not good. My first day was fine and we did almost 2 hours, but my instructor was late and had the wrong address (person on the phone made a mistake despite me repeating myself VERY SLOWLY several times). They were also on their phone for half an hour and were not fully concentrated in teaching me.

My next day was ridiculous. My instructor was 25min late and decided to stop by a corner store for a drink/snack (using my instruction time btw). They were on their phone for a whole hour and was gossiping in Spanish with the person on the phone (i understand Spanish) and my instructor started to CRY, too? You are getting paid $50 an hour and the least you can do is PUT THAT PHONE AWAY!

The only good thing I have to say is that they sorta know how to teach and take it slow which I really needed. However, unless you have no other option and this place is the most convenient I DO NOT recommend this school if they continue the same habits. I'm keeping myself anonymous since they love using that "we don't have your name in our records" excuse. English is not their first language so OBVIOUSLY they don't even write the RIGHT info in their books.

I registered my daughter for this school less than a month ago. The first time she was picked up for practice Lady was on time, great! My daughter was supposed to do 1 hour, and the woman only kept my daughter for like 45-50 mins. The next week came, and I told Nuria about the less than 1 hr lesson, and she told me she would bring it up to the lady conducting the class.

She did and the lady sent me a text saying she did keep my daughter for an hour. I told her I looked at the time and that wasn't the case, but in my mind I thought whatever, I am not going to argue I just want my daughter to have her driving lessons. She picked up my daughter, on time again and kept my daughter for 2 hrs as planned this time. Now I am trying to schedule my daughters next driving lesson because her test is coming up, and they don't return my call.

I text them, no text back. Every time I call this guy answers the phone that says he will relay the msg and still nothing. If they dont want my service just say so. After the 2nd failed driving class in Elizabeth NJ I refuse to sign my daughter up for any other driving schools in this city. These people are irresponsible, unreliable, and compared to my younger years when I used to take driving lessons, these classes don't compare.

I used to go on highways or even drive further. That is not the case with theses schools anymore. They want more money and less work. I will never reach out to these people again.

I want to start by thanking Nuri and her beautiful mom Rosie for teaching me how to drive. I learned so much with them that I definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn to drive. I was learning to drive in NY and then I moved to jersey and when I became consistent and going to my driving classes I passed on my first time and honestly I was shocked but I wasn't surprised because both instructors were amazing and know what they are doing. My son is about to take his permit and definitely will be taking him to this amazing Driving school. Thank you Rosie and Nuri

If I could give 0 starts, I truly would. Please run! I would highly recommend to seek another school. Nuria is extremely rude and unprofessional and will run the business into the ground. Her mother Rosie is kind, however during my practice she was on the phone the ENTIRE time. Additionally, she picked me up with another student in the vehicle, had me drop them off at home and then when my session was concluding had me pick up another student.

This was the student's first time behind the wheel and Rosie made him drive me home - i felt extremely unsafe and that is unacceptable. The day of my road test, we confirmed that I would have 1-hour practice ahead of the test. Rosie showed up 30-mins late (after I called multiple times trying to reach them) leaving me with only 20-mins left to practice before my road test. Nuria screamed at me several times over the phone is truly the most rudest person I've ever encountered. Please seek a more professional driving school.

Rosie taught me EVERYTHING i needed to know in one session. She made me feel super comfortable on the road and taught me tips on how to park. I parallel parked perfectly on my first try. She was amazing. I went to take my road test the next day and passed on my first try thanks to this school! I would recommend to anyone!

Thank you to Rosi, Nuria and Gregory for teaching me how to drive. Passed my road test first try. They all knew how nervous I was behind the wheel especially because I would be driving with my kids. but they were consistent with me and patient and reassured me to be calm, stay alert and just drive. Made sure I learned everything to pass, all the specifics.

I did only 3 classes with them for me to pass. Mastered my k-turn and parallel parking & hand over hand technique. They also recommended that I did my test in Rahway instead of Newark, and thank god for that! Thank you again

I passed my driving test and learned how to parallel park very well. I loved this driving school and think you should really consider going here to learn if you're a first time driver. I loved nuria and her mom!

At first, my first lesson after many years of earning to drive were great until the road test. I overlooked the fact that they overcharged me for 2 hours of lessons (charging me $75 for 2 hours when someone else was charged less?) PLUS asking me to meet at Stop and Shop rather than meeting me at my home (which I thought was customary for driving instructors to do).

I also didn't like that they do not follow up with me to confirm appointments. Had I not called to confirm then I wouldn't know what might have happened! My gut instinct should have warned me that I needed more than 8 hours to be fluent for the road test. It was because Elizabeth the instructor had upcoming surgery so my road test was pushed sooner.

After paying for 2 hours prior to the test, I failed because of the parking and went below the speed limit. So much for being cautious! Elizabeth was no longer friendly; it was all business. Once money changes hands, that was it, no more banter. Not even encouragement. My confidence went down the drain. On the plus side, I love driving! An expensive lesson learned. just because someone may have passed their road test the first time doesn't mean they'll be great drivers later on!

Very friendly staff . Dedicated and they helped me learn so much. I was a nervous driver, but after passing my road test, I feel confident and safe on the road. My main instructor was Nuria, she helped me pass my road test as well as the other workers. Thank you! And will definitely recommend to my family and friends and other people!

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience. This driving school made me past my test on the first try and I would want to thank them for dedicating their time to teach me the necessary skills in order to become a successful driver. In my opinion, this school is highly recommended for those who are just starting and trust me, they will not disappoint you. Thank you so much guys I really appreciate everything you guys have done and I will miss you guys. Wish you guys a bunch of success in the future.
