I chose Nova because one of my friends from work suggested this school for me, because she came here. I was extremely nervous especially behind the wheel, but my instructor: Roberto. O. Helped a lot he had lots patience for me, and always gave me tips for driving, which helped me build my confidence while driving. I highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn and if you get Roberto his great you’ll definitely learn.

Javier was a great instructor with only a few hours of road time ahead of our classes and with only 8 hours of classes with Javier total I was able to pass and get my license to due to his great communication and knowledge on the rules of the road.

My instructor Martha has been great. She is very patient and thorough. With her I felt I am in good hands, learning at a great pace and I received very detailed instructions. I would give her 6 stars out of 5, if I can. Thank you for your guidance and support!

I highly recommend this driving school. Working with David B., Martha, and Carlos was such a pleasure. They gave me great advice and were very patient with me as a nervous beginner driver. I was able to finally start gaining some confidence behind the wheel and pass my road test during the second time with some more practice. In the span of 2 weeks I was able to get licensed. If you’re looking for a driving school this is the place to go!

My instructor Xavier was excellent! I did not know how to drive when I first started with Xavier and with his excellent instruction I was able to feel more confident while driving. As a result I know how to drive now and I feel very confident about taking my driver’s test. Thank you to Nova Driving School and especially to my instructor Xavier! I recommend him and Nova Driving School for anyone looking to take driving lessons!

I had Frank, it was always a fun experience with him, he was funny but taught well. With him always in a good mood it made us more connected to him and we listened better, on top of this when he was serious we really payed extra attention.

I highly recommend Nova Driving School for anyone looking to learn how to drive or improve their skills. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire learning process. They provide clear instructions and constructive feedback, which helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. The flexibility in scheduling lessons was also a huge plus, accommodating my busy schedule without any hassle. Thanks to Nova Driving School, I passed my driving test with flying colors and feel well-prepared for safe driving in all conditions. Great experience overall!

Driving Prep Francisco was an awesome teacher! I tried learning from friends and family over the years (I’m an adult new driver), and he made sense of things that just didn’t click before. Road Test Pedro had me laughing and provided great advice, so that definitely helped me feel calm and confident for the road test! Thank you both so much! Phone Line Customer Service The customer service for scheduling and general questions was not good. You could tell they were winging it. Then, they scheduled me at the wrong location for road test and prep (luckily I caught that though). Where the phone team fell short, both Francisco and Pedro make up for it. If you had a funky scheduling experience, I would recommend following through anyways because the instructors were incredible.

I passed my driving test and just got my license, and I owe a big thank you to Nova Driving School. The instructors truly care and make sure you feel ready and confident on the road. Special thanks to Javier, Andre Herrera, and Pedro Boch for their patience, clear guidance, and support during every lesson. They took the time to explain things in a simple way and helped me improve fast. If you’re looking for a driving school that actually prepares you to pass and drive safely, I highly recommend them. Great experience from start to finish. Services Adult lessons

Luis is the best instructor I’ve had so far. He honestly deserves a raise. His instructions were clear, concise, and he made driving easy. He was kind and welcoming. I recommend taking lessons with him more than anybody else. You can tell her care and takes his job seriously. 10/10

Took the 2 hour practice course plus road test with Jared, and it was a great experience. Jared is an excellent instructor and friendly person. He eased my anxiety about the test and I passed without any issues. Highly recommended.

Just 8 classes and I passed the road test at the first try! I was so terrified of cars and driving in general but with Carlos all those worries disappeared instantly. He was super professional and PATIENT, very methodical and detailed teaching me how to observe and interpret the road, measure the car size on the street and understand how traffic works. Everything feels like a videogame now and I feel empowered and free. I'll always recommend this school! After learning with them you'll no longer be a nervous driver. Services Private lessons, Adult lessons

What a great place to learn to drive. I highly recommend this place. If anyone is looking to book some lessons, I highly suggest you choose David B as your instructor. He gave me a lot of confidence to drive as well as super patient. Nova took care of everything for me to get my Driver’s license.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Passed My DMV Test Thanks to David at Nova! I had an amazing experience with Nova Driving School, especially with my instructor David. He was patient, focused, and genuinely cared about helping me improve. He didn’t rush anything — he explained every detail clearly and made sure I understood my mistakes and how to fix them. Because of David’s guidance, I walked into my DMV road test confident and prepared… and I passed! If you want an instructor who actually teaches, supports you, and makes sure you’re ready for the test, ask for David at Nova Driving School. Highly recommended!
