RIMS Driving School

I would recommend RIMS in a heartbeat! Driving has been the biggest fear of my life, I am a 33-year-old woman who was afraid of driving and at some point, I thought I would never overcome that fear. Last October I started my classes with RIMS, all of them with Suzanne and I can't thank her enough. She not only taught me to pass my driving test but also to become a confident driver for years to come. I never thought I would pick up driving so fast and not in my wildest dreams I thought I'd enjoy driving as much as I am! I passed my driving test with a perfect score all thanks to Suzanne's teachings and helping me feel confident. It's been 2 months since I got my license and I find myself behind the wheel remembering Suzanne's tips and teachings. Thank you so, so much for helping me overcome my driving fear and teaching me, it was an absolute blast to learn with Suzanne and RIMS.

Just took a pre road test lesson with Frank. Aside from being an incredibly friendly person, he is a great teacher and really helped with my left and right turns. I'm only sad I didn't get to work with him for longer.

Frank was a fabulous instructor for my two 16 year old girls. He turned them into confident, careful, and comfortable drivers. His knowledge and dynamic personality made the driving experience a memorable one.

Im a 40+ women who had a license more then a decade ago in another continent but never drove after getting it. Since moving here to upstate NY I took few lessons in Redhook and it was a horrible experience!! Luckily the instructor recommended Suzanne for the 5 hours pre license course . It was great and I liked her so much that I asked for behind the wheel lessons with her. She connected me with Stephanie. From the firs second I felt comfortable with her and she gently gave me great tips to improve my driving and feel safe behind the wheel. After only 2 lessons with her not only did I passed the test, i also enjoy driving. She is amazing, dont hesitate!

If I could, I would give RIMS 6 stars! This is why. I signed up for their 10 class package. The instructor that was assigned to me was not the best fit. In the first 3 classes, she had me driving places that had nothing to do with getting trained to pass a driving test. I contacted Suzanne and, without going into much detail, asked if she had another instructor. Suzanne was quick to assign Stephanie to me. What a gem! I am a 60+ year old guy who grew up in NYC and never got a license. At this age, I was nervous about learning to drive. Stephanie was incredibly patient and supportive. She made this old nervous guy feel very relaxed. And as far as her teaching skills are concerned, she taught me exactly what I needed to learn and practice for the driving test. We worked on this each class and even when I really flubbed something, she was really supportive and helped me to build my confidence. If you're readdy this review and thinking about whether RIMS and Stephanie are right for you (there are other instructors), I would say that Stephanie would be awesome for a teen, 20 something year old, someone who is 50+, and everyone in between. If you need a kind, patient, great instructor, Stephanie is your teacher. Btw, I passed my test on my first try and only made a couple of mistakes. I am now driving around in my first car with a lot of confidence. Thank you Suzanne and Stephanie.
