Mr. Sotannde was such a great driving instructor. He teaches very effective techniques when it comes down to driving and passing the road test. His method for learning parallel parking made it very easy to learn. He’s very nice and patient. I was able to pass with just 5 lessons. Definitely recommend!

I recommend this driving school if you have failed in the past and need to learn how to be a better driver in a short period of time. I was taught how to parallel park by multiple other people and never fully learned until Mr. Sotannde taught me. I was able to parallel park perfectly on the test and I was able to pass as a result. His tips helped me avoid common mistakes on the exam. If you follow his teachings, you will definitely pass on first try with this company.

I was always driving but I didnt know a few things that would make me fail the Drivers test. The instructor taught me a lot and when I took my test I passed on the first try. Very good overall!

As someone with little to no experience prior to starting my lessons, I was able to pass my road test on my first try. My instructor was patient as well as pleasant which made it even easier to gain confidence as a new driver. I highly recommend Leadway.

The instructor is very patient and kind. As a new mom he was able to work around my schedule, and my parallel parking has been perfected. If it wasn’t for his great tips and advice, I wouldn’t have passed my road test. Thank you again!

As the parent of a teenager who is a first time driver, I was hesitant. seeing my child progress with each class was great! The instructor is patient, experienced, consistent and teaches the key fundamentals of driving.I recommend Leadway School for students that want to pass the road test on the first try and become safe and responsible drivers.

I passed my road test today!Mr. S. was quite patient with me. Because of the pandemic, my 5-hour class was hosted by him online & I acted fast & took it. Mr. S. had to also work with me as I navigated personal obstacles which forced me to delay taking my road test when it was originally scheduled. Having failed the road test twice in 1994 (seriously) with another instructor, an instructor with patience & good ratings was vital to me, given the 27-year gap between attempts to pass the road test (yes, I’m 45 years old!). Thanks, Mr. S.!

The instructor is amazing! Super patient and knowledgeable. Accommodated to my schedule. Gave me tips and tricks to remember for parallel parking and the 3 point turn. Showed me exactly what they’re looking for on the road test. I purchased the 5 lesson package and it was worth every penny. Passed my road test on the 1st try with no problems.

I ended up taking 8 lessons with this school and overall had a wonderful experience! Instructor was so kind, so patient and gave extremely helpful tips. He always works with your availability, and overall exhibited great professionalism. Would highly recommend for beginner drivers in the Cambria Heights/Elmont area.

I found leadway driving school through my google searches when I moved to Elmont I needed a driving school. I took lessons before but I was never as consistent with the lessons. I must say I am glad I decided to go with this school because the instructor is very easy going, he works with you and your schedule; he has the patience to see and make sure all his students pass their road test. I took my road test a second time and I passed. I would recommend this school to anyone who is new to driving or looking for a new driving school.

Leadway driving school is the best school I have attended so far. I had lessons with other driving school in the same area but the quality of their services cannot be compared to the professionalism and experience of my instructor who taught me how to drive confidently. I also passed my road test in my first attempt. Hurray Leadway driving school :)!!!

Review №29

Highly recommend! If you are in the Long Island area this is the driving school to go to. I’ve had my license for 4 years and never got comfortable on the road because I didn’t own a car. Moving to Long Island, I got a car and decided to take driving classes with Leadway to get over the fear of being on the road. After 5 sessions, I felt so much more confident and comfortable. I never thought I’d be driving alone! Thank you so much Leadway for helping me gain my confidence and teaching me the safe way to drive!

Completely unorganized. Says they will return calls, No call returned . Given a 2nd chance Call them back to set up appointment, driver is a NO SHOW. What kind of place is this? Thank goodness I didnt pay in advance.And better I didnt allow my cild to be instructed by this company. Red Flag!!

Mr. Sebili is an amazing driving instructor. He’s so patient but still makes sure we perfect everything we need for the test. I passed my road test on the first try with only 6 lessons. Everyone in the Elmont/Valley Stream/Cambria Heights area should go to Leadway Driving School !

My experience with this driving school is such an amazing one. From being a nervous driver and never had any driving experience to a confident driver within short period.

I still cannot believe it !!!. thanks to Leadway driving school. My instructor is very patient and very detail.

Mr. Sebil (the owner and principal driving instructor) is heaven sent! I had tried taking the driving test THREE times after practicing with another driving school in the area, but failed every time. My sister suggested making a switch and it was exactly what I needed! His patience, calming presence, methods that were logical and easily adaptable, up to date instruction materials, late model car, etc., all made for the best preparation I have ever had and I am now the proud holder of a NYS drivers license! If you have tried other schools with no success or you are a newbie who wants to get the knowledge down right the first time - LEADWAY IS THE ONLY WAY!

Review №77

Ok! Where do I start? At 33 yrs old I decided that I needed my license because of work and school. I tried having my husband teach me but it always left me feeling anxious and confused. So I signed up with a driving school, their customer service was horrible, I almost gave up after not really finding any good driving school until I came across Leadway Driving School. I reached out to them and spoke to Mr. Sebil, from the first conversation I had with him, I could tell this is where I want to get my driving lessons. His calm and patient nature was everything I was not getting from others whom I turned to for driving Assistance. Not only that, he has great communication and he was willing to accommodate me when I couldn’t do a lesson; he never fussed nor made it a big deal. Another thing that made my experience a great one, was is favorite line, “you’re the best in the west”. He would say that when I would complete the task flawlessly. I appreciated that so much, (though I never tell him), but it greatly boosted my confidence and made me feel like I was making progress, and it was because of him 5 lessons later on the first attempt, I passed the road test. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.Please note: After my first driving lesson he told me that my skills were at a 5. None-the-less, he took me to where I needed to be to PASS my test and that’s just phenomenal🌟

Mr. Sebil was a very patient and calm teacher. He exhibited great poise and skill when teaching me how to drive and prepare for the test. He prepared me so well for the test that I wasnt nervous when I took the exam. I have no doubt that he can teach anyone to drive in a short amount of time. Hes amazing and everyone should try to learn from him.

I was able to find a perfectly rated driving school that was close to where I live! Mr. Sebil is an incredibly kind and patient instructor who teaches you the necessary steps to pass the road test. I took 8 lessons at a reasonable price and Mr. Sebil was able to schedule my road test just 3 days before my permit expired. I passed through his help!I highly recommend this driving school for the new driver and for the ones who need to refresh their material. The 5-hour course is available on evenings and mornings and the lessons accommodate anyone’s schedule.Drive safely and good luck! 🙂
