I had an appointment scheduled and nobody showed up. I never received a call, text, email, or any notice that it was canceled. Still haven't heard back from them and it's been over a week. I was surprised because I think this is the school that's supposed to give the required class for a NY state license. Read Less

I had a great experience with Learn-Well School of Driving. After a couple of attempts, my instructor was very patient, supportive, and helped me focus on my weak areas. The lessons were practical and tailored to what I needed to improve, especially confidence and control. Special thanks to Chance, Alex, and John for their support and guidance. Thanks to their help, I passed my road test. I highly recommend them to anyone preparing for their driving test! Read Less

Great price and super flexible scheduling. You can pick times that work around your classes. The instructors are nice and teach you everything you need to know for the test and more. They'll give you helpful tips and point out what you need to work on. I took about 8 lessons before taking my test, and I passed on the first try! Shoutout to Chance and Alex, who were amazing. I was really nervous when I started, but now I feel way more confident in my driving. Read Less

Passed my driving test on my first try after just a few lessons with them! My experience with them has been extremely positive, and I’m really glad I chose them as my driving school. I was nervous about driving before I started, but their lessons made everything feel much more manageable and helped me build confidence quickly. I still remember I was really nervous during my first lesson, and Chance reassured me not to worry because as the instructor he could take control of the vehicle at any time if needed, which indeed made me feel more at ease. I’ve had lessons with several instructors (Chance, Lou, John, and Alex), and all of them were excellent!! They are patient, highly knowledgeable about the driving test requirements and rules, and consistently supportive throughout the learning process. You can truly tell they want you to succeed. Their customer service is also great. I had a few calls with them regarding test scheduling and my pre-licensing certificate, and every time my call was answered promptly and my questions were handled efficiently. Thank you to everyone at the driving school who helped me build my confidence and pass my test. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Read Less

After trying many driving schools, Learnwell has been such a positive experience, and I am sad to no longer need them. Learnwell helped me pass on my first try and has been nothing but supportive. Every teacher has become a friend, and they are excited to watch you succeed. Not only is the staff incredibly nice and helpful, but they also schedule the test for you and deal with the DMV. They make it incredibly easy to learn how to drive and get a lesson, and the customer service is the best I've seen. I truthfully could not recommend them more. Read Less

Instructors are very well experienced and very nice. You will never have to worry about them being mean to you. Demand is a bit high tho, so you should try to schedule driving lessons ahead. I would also recommend getting your pre-licensing course done here, since it's not one of those boring classes but is interesting and useful. I ended up getting my license on the first road test after five lessons. I got some practice outside the school for about 5 hours. Read Less

Very experienced drivers; they're all police officers who have been doing this for years. They were very patient with me and know the roads well. I had a very positive experience with them.

My kid is a first time driver. We went on the weekend for a private lesson. We told the instructor it was the first time behind the wheel. He proceeded to not give any instruction for 50 minutes. The streets are crazy busy in Ithaca, stressful for the most experienced drivers, during busy times. He made my kid drive on the small busy streets, lots of cars, and even went on a windy narrow back road and basically said if another car comes, you're gonna have to figure it out. We chose a driving school for a driving LESSON, not a free-for-all. I could have done that for free! We won't be going back to this school and I definitely do NOT recommend using them for a new driver. Read Less

I took around 10 lessons from August to October. I had previously taken one with Able2 and didn't enjoy it - felt rushed. The instructors are very kind and patient. Some cars in their fleet are better than others but, for the most part, they are all of quality. Be very clear about scheduling and don't be nit-picky and you'll be fine. I passed on my first try using their car. Read Less

Went for one lesson. They showed up a few minutes late. The instructor was friendly, and when he was not talking on his cell phone he was very helpful. Only thing is, he was talking on his cell phone for probably half the lesson, if not more. Second lesson, they showed up 10 minutes late. I decided to stop going at that point. Read Less

The driving lessons were very useful. The instructor is incredibly experienced and encourages intuitive learning and provides a very encouraging congenial atmosphere. For example, during the parallel parking exercise he pointed out that one can follow a set rule, but in reality one needs to adjust according to the situation. This helped me trust my own judgement of the extent of the car, the position of the curb and the alignment with the car in front of me. Read Less
