Even to the point of how nice and clean he keeps his car!! Inside and out!! I passed my road test on the first try with only 5 points taken off!!😃 Thank you again Bill! I highly recommend East End driving school! Especially Bill!! Read Less

Bill is very experienced and has a great passion for teaching driving. He is extremely patient and holds very high standards for himself and his students which was important for me as a mom. I highly recommend Bill for anyone learning to drive, and especially if you’re an older or nervous driver, Bill is definitely a great instructor of choice. He will help you overcome your hang ups and give you great tips. I passed my road test on my first try :) Read Less

I definitely recommend this driving school. I just passed my road test from the first try. I went to school twice a week, for 2-3 months. I work a lot. My spouse couldn't teach me properly and my friends had a different work schedule, so I literally had nobody to teach me how to drive and I never ever drove in my life because I'm originally not from the US. The instructor is professional, kind and patient. Even when you make mistakes he stays calm and corrects you in a very nice way. Read Less

Took my daughter here to learn to drive the proper way. Bill the instructor was very helpful. He was very patient and he pointed out her mistakes and explained to her the proper way of doing things. If you want to learn the proper way I highly recommend this driving school. Read Less

I called four times and left a message each time, all on business days. Never a single call back and never picked up. Don't waste your time, I was fooled by the good reviews. Do not know how to run a business Read Less

Bill taught my daughter 12 years ago and he was wonderful. He made driving fun,taught her the rules of the road. My daughter had severe tunnel vision. My daughter failed her road test many times, Bill took her to the road test and she finally passed. Now she is 27 and she has been a wonderful, observant driver. Now it's time to make a phone call years later for my son. Thanks Bill Read Less

Bill was an amazing instructor! I failed my road test the first time by making the mistake of taking drivers education at school. Within my first two visits I noticed an outstanding imporvement in my driving skills and confidence. Bill made me feel comfortable and relaxed before my exam. He taught me the correct way to drive and the real rules of the road. Thank you so much! Read Less

Bill is a great driving teacher. He's very knowledgeable and patient. He made my daughter feel comfortable and helped her confidence as a new driver. She got a perfect score on her road test! I would definitely recommend East End Driving School. Read Less

I just passed my test with the help of Bill, the East End Driving School teacher. He was everything one could wish for with a driving instructor. Kind, patient, skilled and funny, I wouldn't have been able to pass my test had it not been for him. I would recommend his services to everyone learning how to drive. Read Less

I took lessons with Bill for the past month. Previously I had taken lessons from a driving school in Brooklyn and they had not taught me the proper way of safe driving. I am so glad I was able to work with Bill on driving. My parents told me after I passed my test that they thought Bill had made me a much better driver and they had seen a great improvement since I started lessons with him. I would definitely recommend getting lessons at East End Driving School. They teach you how to become a safe and confident driver! Thanks again, Bill!! Read Less

I was going to give this place zero stars, but it turns out I can't submit a review with zero stars. When we entered, a man met us at the desk. Unfortunate I do not know his name. (He was a Caucasian male with glasses). At any rate, I had forgotten to bring sneakers. He was all too happy to send us down the street to buy $60 sneakers. We accommodatingly bought the sneakers and returned. My mom then asked if it would be okay if he didn't teach the pivot foot trick for the break. You see, we have a stick-shift car and pivoting doesn't work with those peddles. She merely wanted him to be aware of the type of car we owned. He thought she was saying she was a better driver than he is etc. He threw us out of the place saying he wouldn't teach me. So not only did I waste $60 dollars buying shoes at his request, I didn't even get a lesson. Read Less

Both of my son's took their 5 hr driving course, multiple lessons and utilized the road test service at East End Driving school.Bill is an excellent teacher; kind, patient and knowledgeable about the rules of the road and the requirements of the DMV.I can not recommend this school highly enough for the aforementioned services as well as post road test in order to become a safer more comfortable driver.Look no further, this is the place for all of your driver education needs!

The drivers education courses that the kids take at school just aren't enough.  As parents, driving for 30 years we do things too automatically to teach properly.  The kids need to learn well from someone that is trained to teach them.  There are too many angry and distracted drivers on the road.  It's one thing to pass the road test, being a good and safe driver is completely different. Bill and Yousef are fantastic teachers.  They teach safe and defensive driving.  My twins have already passed their road tests and will be continuing with Bill and Yousef to learn highway driving techniques. My kids safety comes first. Obviously, I highly recommend them. Read Less

My daughter completed a high school drivers education class but was no where near ready to drive on her own. They did not teach her proper driving techniques. We took 4 lessons with Yousef and she learned more from him than she did in the entire drivers Ed course. He fought her skills necessary to not only pass the road test but to become a good driver. He is extremely professional and with his lessons she passed her road test. I would highly recommend this school as well as Yousef. You will not be disappointed. He even gave her a 30 minute lesson prior to her road test and she took the road test in East End Driving school's car. . He helped keep her calm and focused. If you want to learn the proper way to drive I highly recommend them. They were well worth the money. Thank you Yousef and Bill! Read Less

I had failed my driver's test 3 times before I decided to seek some "professional help". I started practicing with Yousef around my town for a few lessons, and then 2 lessons in Riverhead. Yousef calmed my anxiety right away after the first time driving with him! He makes you feel so comfortable and calm. Today I took my road test, for the 4th time, with the test services East End Driving School offer, and I passes with a perfect score! I almost was discouraged after failing a handful of times, but once I learned tips from Yousef it really payed off! Read Less

Bill and Yousef are incredible! I am a very nervous test taker and both of them have helped me so much. They are both very calm, patient, and understanding. They are clear with what you need to know. And Bill, I will always remember "gear before steer" - Thank you so much!!! Read Less

I would like to thank Yousef for helping me with my driving and passing my road test. Yousef is a great instructor and has a lot a patience. He will tell you if you are ready or need more time. Thanks to him I passed my road test and it was all worth it. Thank You! Read Less

I can only describe my experience as amazing! Bill and Yousef are not only friendly but also great teachers! I failed my road test twice with 60 points before them. I took 1 lesson a week for like 8 weeks or something and I passed my road test the third time with a perfect score! Read Less

Bill is an incredible driving teacher. He's tough but he will help you become a much better and more confident driver. I passed my driving test on the first try after a few lessons with him. If you want to learn how to drive safely and properly, definitely go to the east end driving school! Read Less

Neurotic teenagers can pass the road test!My driver's ed course at school didn't teach me how to properly drive, never covering topics such as hand-over-hand, and how to easily parallel park. High school courses only give students a book of the rules, and expect them to memorize it. It's good to know the book, but the driver's ed course I took didn't acknowledge how to apply to them properly. At the East End Driving School, they taught me that, and how to read the road. Additionally, my parents weren't always there to sit in the car, so this Driving School was my only chance to drive. Yousef, the instructor, helped me stay calm and taught me how to approach rotaries and other things that made me nervous.Yesterday, I took my road and passed, even though I was shaking! Thanks Yousef! Read Less

I took driving lessons with Yousef over the summer. He is a very patient and thorough instructor. He helps explain difficult maneuvers in simple terms and I passed my test first time with his guidance. I have recommended him to several friends. Read Less

East End Driving School to me is one of the best schools in the area. Many of my family members have taken lessons with Bill over the years and all successfully passed on their first try. Seeing this I definitely had to take lessons with Bill also! At first I was a bit skeptical as I had never driven a car in my young life but Bill reassured me that with patience, determination  and a bit of practice I would have full mastery of the wheel in no time. Sure enough after the first driving lesson I was already feeling much more confident with my driving! Unlike drivers ed , Bills one on one private session allow you to feel much more relaxed while also simulating the conditions experienced during an actual road test. Rather than tell you what to do or yell at you for doing something incorrectly, Bill guides you step by step on how to do each maneuver while making you feel less stressed out or nervous through small talk and driving jokes, which all came in very handy while trying to learn how to parallel park! Bill definitely creates a comfortable and welcoming environment both in the office and in the car. Aside from the lessons being wonderful, an added bonus is that the prices were very affordable and fair considering the great service you are receiving and within a month of having started the lesson I was able to schedule my road test to which I highly recommend using East End Driving schools road test service as Bill drove me to the test while giving me tips on how to stay relaxed and confident in my driving ability, this way i was able to better focus on the test rather than having stressed out over taking my own vehicle or finding someone to take me, getting there on time, etc. Overall, I was able to pass my test with a perfect score thanks to the amazing help and training i received from Bill! To this day i still retain the driving method he taught me and I feel confident in my ability to be a safe driver out on the road so thank you Bill!! And i highly recommend you considering this school for all your driving endeavors! :) Read Less

East End Driving School is awesome.  Bill is the best driving instructor out there.  My sons previously had a ton of lessons in NYC through Drivers Ed as well as private lessons and they still were not good drivers.  When we came out for the summer, Bill took over.  His main focus was safety and being well aware of your surroundings and being a good driver for life, not just for the test.  My sons ended up passing and getting perfect scores.  When our daughter is old enough to drive, this is the only place I will send her.

We contacted two different driving schools and decided on East End because it appeared more professional and solid than the other place. Our son quickly felt comfortable with Bill, the instructor. In addition to passing his road test on the first attempt, our son now knows all the important traffic safety rules and is teaching his parents... Thanks Bill. We are hoping to send our daughter to you as well. Read Less

We wanted our son to get an honest evaluation of his driving skills before taking his road test, so I stopped by the driving school and spoke with Bill. I explained that we wanted a professional assessment and the necessary instruction to be sure our son was road test ready, Our son was very comfortable with Bill, and felt his teaching was much more helpful than that of his local high school's Driver Education instructors. We truly appreciated all that Bill taught our son in just 4 lessons, and he passed his road test the first time. Most importantly, our son has retained Bill's suggestions for safer and more skillful driving, and we feel much more confident in his driving ability because of his learning experience at East End Driving School with Bill. Bill is a true professional who does his job well, and demonstrates a heart and concern for young people and the challenges they face on the roads today. Read Less

After a few lessons with Bill I felt much more confident with my driving. He was very patient, thorough and helped make everything simple and direct. Bill helped me understand what I needed to work on and how to improve. He taught me everything I needed to know to be a safe driver and helped me understand everything I need to know to pass my road test. I highly recommend the road test service and lessons. Thanks Bill! Read Less

I can express enough how happy I am that I had the opportunity to learn how to drive from Bill the best driving instructor ever! I failed my roadtest at the first attempt and I knew that I need a professional to tell me how to proof my driving. I called East End Driving School and after a few lessons with Bill I passed my roadtest! Bill with his great attitude, patient and what's most important education skills helped me feel more confident with my driving. He made it easy for me:) Thank You Bill. Read Less

how happy I am! I just passed my roadtest after a few failed attempts, and I can't thank Bill enough! His methods are so much more direct and simple than in Drivers Ed. I wish I would have came here first. He's one of the nicest men I've met and really helps you understand everything you need to know for passing your roadtest and safe driving. He makes you feel completely at ease and pin points everything you should do and what you need to work on. I would recommend him over Drivers Ed any day :) Thank you Bill! Read Less

After a lousy driver's ed experience through our school and another driving school, we found Bill. I was so desperate to help my daughter pass her road test and Bill was the perfect teacher. He was very professional and honest, worth every penny! Read Less

When I came to Bill I had never driven a car and after a month of lessons (about 1 a week) I passed my road test with zero points off. I really learned how to drive and feel confident behind the wheel. Bill was kind and easy to talk to and really taught me safe driving. Highly recommended! Thanks for everything. Read Less

FOR ALL THE PARENTS OUT THERE.....LISTEN UP!! BILL HAS A WONDERFUL WAY OF CONNECTING WITH TODAYS GENERATION. HE IS THOROUGH, MINDFUL, FOCUSED AND HAS A WAY OF MAKING TEENS LISTEN EVEN IF WE CAN'T !! MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE SO HAPPY WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET BILL TO TEACH HIS EXPERTISE TO HER....HE WILL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND TACKLE THE ISSUE ALL WITH A GENTLE FLOW OF CONFIDENCE-YOU WON'T REGRET HAVING BILL BE YOUR CHILDS MENTOR.....THANK YOU MR.BILL - I COULDN'T HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB!! DENE' AND MOM Read Less

I failed my first driving test, and then took about 5 lessons from Bill. I learned so much and passed my driving test this morning! I am a much more confident driver now. I definitely recommend taking lessons from Bill!!! Read Less

After a valiant attempt to teach our teenage son how to drive my wife and I decided to call EED School. Raising a teenager is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall let alone teaching them how to driving. After his first lesson my wife and I breathed a sigh of relief! Calling Bill for lessons was the right decision for us. Lesson learned: Leave it to the Pro's! Thank you, Ralph and Donna S. Read Less

They are VERY unreliable, rude and lack the people skills necessary in working with the public. My daughter had a 10:30 a.m. driving lesson (in addition to her road test) scheduled with East End. At 10:15 a.m. on the morning of her private lesson Bill called me ranting, ""WHERE ARE YOU! I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 10:00!"" I told him I was only a block away and that the lesson wasn't until 10:30. He became very belligerent and stated, ""NO! IT IS 10:00! I CANNOT GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER A 10:30 LESSON BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER LESSON SCHEDULED FOR 11:00!"" I said, ""Are you kidding? I have the notes from our conversation setting up this lesson and it clearly states 10:30."" And as I was proceeding to tell him that I had to take off from work and was losing a day's pay to get my daughter there, he hung up on me! He did not even try to rectify the situation. Be weery of this company! They are not reliable! I am obviously not using them for my daughter's road test anymore! My daughter would have been devastated if they had pulled this on the day of her road test! Read Less

Bill, thank you so much for teaching my daughter how to drive this summer. We had put it off a bit too long and were worried that we wouldn't get it done in time for her to drive her own car back to school upstate. But you both got it right and she's driving all over town, free as a very careful bird! To all those shopping for a patient, kind instructor with years of solid experience that is so rare these days, look no further - Bill is your man. Read Less

When I first started driving lessons with Bill, I had pretty much no experience which made me quite nervous...after lessons with Bill though he made me feel more at ease and eventually I got the hang of it and was able to pass on my first road test! Bill is calm, understanding and focused. He helps you learn how to drive safe...I enjoyed my experience at East End Driving school so much that I have been a secretary at the school for over a year now. I would recommend this school to anyone, whether you are a beginner or just need to brush up. Read Less

Bill has now taught two of my kids to drive. Not only did they both pass their tests on the first try, he has also taught them to drive safely and defensively. The first of my two kids to pass the test has now been driving for over a year and he is still as cautious as he was when Bill was teaching him and he credits Bill""s instruction. Bill is also a model of patience and understanding. My daughter was very nervous behind the wheel at first and Bill put her at ease. He suggested delaying the test for a month to give her more time to get comfortable. It was absolutely the right thing to do. Bill knows his students! I would recommend Bill wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to learn to drive. Read Less

I have previously failed a road test so I was extremely nervous, that is, until I found Bill. He taught me the essentials of the road with care and patience. I just took my road test today and i passed with total confidence! I highly recommend Bill for everyone! Thank you for everything Bill!!! Read Less

I don't think I could've passed my 2nd road test without Bill's driving lessons. I've become a more patient, confident, and cautious driver...even my parents noticed a positive change in my driving just after my 2nd lesson with him. Bill is kind, patient and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone. The lessons are very worth taking and you should take them before a road test!! These lessons will not only help you pass, but they will help you drive safer in life afterwards. I'll never forget Bill's lessons and I hope anyone who's looking for teacher will get the opportunity to take lessons with him! Read Less
