If you suffer from driving anxiety and wish to overcome it, please give Top Driving School a call and request Danny as your instructor. I'm a licensed-older-(non)driver who developed anxiety after not driving for many years. I've taken lessons with another school and left there feeling more anxious than before. After reading many of the reviews I decided to give this school a try. Danny. Is. The. Best!!! He creates an atmosphere of calm, right down to breathing techniques to reduce anxiety. He also takes the time to understand your weaknesses and helps to address them while teaching you how to drive defensively without being aggressive. There's a difference between someone who "teaches" and someone who is an "educator". Danny provides the required instruction that you need to get from point A to B and/or pass a driving exam, but he also drills down and provides you with an understanding of the road/other drivers, best practices for handling the vehicle especially at intersections/stop signs/busy roads, he personalizes the instruction so that you can truly absorb the information and he does so with the patience of a Saint. Also... one thing that stood out for me immediately is that when you have a lesson, you are not sharing part of that lesson with another student that you have to pick-up or drop-off. The lesson is for YOU. So, don't hesitate any further - Give Top Driving School and...

The Top in Top Driving School is not to be taken lightly, I got the pleasure of working with Danny my non-existent driving skills and he has been the most patient, gentle and reassuring. His strategies and manner of teaching has made me a much smoother and conscious driver, he adapts to the drivers necessities; knows what and how to adjust the environment in which you are driving. He also does apply a lot of exposure therapy as to not overwhelm you but also work in confidence. He corrects as greatly as he praises and not once has he made me feel bad about making mistakes on the road. Danny will teach you from the ground up and work on your confidence while getting you comfortable on the road. I had the most wonderful experience and I'm very happy I made the decision to enroll myself with Top Driving School. I did the 6 hr pack and because I still felt much anxious I did 6 more and I can assure anyone who gets nervous about driving that you'll be in...
Read moreI’m an adult learner and I was feeling very anxious about driving and taking the road test. This school is the best and a BIG shout to Darius !!! Best instructor ever. He’s super effective in his teaching but also so nice and made me feel relaxed and confident while driving. I passed today! Darius was very accommodating and worked with me so I could get my lessons in and after a couple lessons I felt confident enough to take the test after putting it off for so long. The school also was able to squeeze me in for a refresh session right before I took the test which I really appreciated them making the time for. I took lessons with a different school in Bergen County, and I did not have a great experience with them (the teachers seemed disengaged and disinterested during the lessons and I didn’t feel that I learned well). Top Driving School, however, totally exceeded my expectations - I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anybody looking to learn to drive!! Don’t think twice about booking with them, definitely sign up!...
