We had a very positive experience with this service! Mike was easy to work with, communicated well and provided a wonderful service. He comes to your address for lessons- which is so convenient, and is prompt in doing so. May teen felt prepared for the road test and passed without issue. I recommend him for your new drivers.
They are very professional and the prices are very reasonable. The instructor Mike is very nice and helpful. Lessons are easy and the cars are new. Highly recommend this company if you want to pass the test on the first try!
I want to take a moment to thank Mike and Moussa for being incredibly professional and patient. I’ve always been scared of driving, but they helped me gain reassurance and confidence to overcome my fear and finally learn — and get my driver’s license. If you’re looking for patient, supportive, and skilled instructors, you should definitely consider 1st Choice Driving School. Highly recommended!
I don’t have a bad word to say about Mike and his team. Truly professional in every aspect of the word. The two hour slots that Mike and his team provide are beneficial for anyone who is nervous - 1 session and your nerves are gone. Not to mention the ease of being picked up and dropped off after every lesson. Once in the car - Mike (and I’m sure his partners will be the same) encourage you to take control of the car and you are given instructions clearly. As a European that drove on the other side of the road, who needed a quick turnaround getting my American license - from meeting Mike to passing my test took about 5 weeks and this would have been quicker if I could book a test faster. Great price. Great instruction. Takes care of his business. Cannot speak highly of this driving school enough. Thanks bud! Pleasure.
I’m 39, have never driven before and I was very nervous to start. I’m so thankful I hired Mike! We did 3 lessons and he was calm, focused, and helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. He was very responsive and easy to schedule with and it was so convenient to my house in south Philly. I did the one hour practice with him before my exam and I passed on the first try with no mistakes! Highly recommend to other adults who are nervous to start driving.

Your first choice for confident driving—lessons at your door, success on the road.
