They go above an beyond.

I was with Polonia Driving School for a few months and had the opportunity to learn from all of their instructors.
Krystian is a very relaxed guy. Driving with him will really help instill your confidence and get you to feel comfortable behind the wheel. I recommend that first time drivers or people who don’t feel confident learn with Krystian.
Wa??aw as a very knowledgeable instructor with a critical eye. He will try to take you to places you have never been to and is a very good instructor for a mock road test. He will challenge you as much as he can. If you can do well with Wa??aw, you can pass any road test.
Mirek is a relaxed guy who is also knowledgeable and will prepare you very well. He has over 20 years experience and knows how to help as well as how to approach any situation. It depends on what you are looking for which instructor to learn from. I recommend learning from all three because each has their own style.
When I had my road test, the previous 2 students went and a DMV inspector noticed the brake light was out. I was unable to take my test. Rather than to reschedule it, Mirek took us to a mechanic and had the light fixed 10 minutes later just to give me the chance to take my road test. I ended up passing. I cannot recommend this school enough. They will prepare you and they will see to it that you will get the best chance you can to pass your road test.

My license had expired ages ago, forcing me to retake the dreaded drivers test. I avoided it like the plague (an unnaturally easy task in the city), but alas, I finally decided to join the throngs of New Yorkers at the Hertz in Jersey City every Memorial Day weekend for my very own Nissan Rancheros to whisk me away to the Poconos.

Granted I had no idea how to make this vision into a reality, I turned to a more competent friend who pointed me to Polonia Driving School. Via email, they explained the process, which turned out to be as simple as ordering a combo meal at a fast-food joint. You pick a package with a certain number of lessons, including the mandatory pre-licensing course, and they handle all the scheduling for your driver’s test. I took three refresher lessons with Maciej, who taught me how to parallel park. He was patient and friendly, and had no qualms about infusing the lesson with his Polish humor while recovering from a near-death experience involving a sneaky stop sign.

On the big day, Maciej chauffeured me to Ridgewood, where two other students and I took the test in the school’s car. Later that night, I checked the DMV’s website where it said that I had passed. It took me a decade to gather the courage to start this journey; with Polonia Driving School, I had my license in a mere three weeks from that point on.

We were two to come to this school and both of us were very happy and satisfied about it. My friend enrolled for one hour driving + exam and I took 5 hours + exam. First, the prices are really attractive. Then, they scheduled the exams really fast (they were scheduled for after 2 weeks for my friend and three for me). The driving classes start at 7h15AM which was amazing as it allowed me to have them before going to work. It is also possible to have classes on Saturdays. Two days before each class, they call you to remind you. They were really flexible when I needed to reschedule one hour, and even when I needed to postpone the road test as I get injured. The teachers were really nice and giving good advises (special thanks to Merek) and the car was nice to drive.
For the road test, we were 4 of us from this school to go together, and we all got back with a passed exam.
