It was a pleasure to have Ms. Rani as my teacher for a 30-hour theoretical class as well as 6 hours of wheel training and 10 hours of personal training. She is very patient and detail-oriented. She observes you and explains your mistakes and the way to correct them. During the theoretical class, she engages every student in the class and her main emphasis is on safe driving starting from the first theory class. She encourages you to do well in driving as well as in life.My personal experience with Ms. Rani is that I went to her towards the end of July 2021 and told her that I had to move to New York in October and I wanted to get a driving license. I had only the experience of riding a bike, and I had never driven a motorcycle before. Ms. Rani told me that I could do it. I started taking classes in the second week of August. I gave my learners permit exam on August 19, 2021, and I got my driving license on October 6, 2021.I didnt have a car. I am an international student and I didnt have any family members to help me here. Ms. Rani taught me like she would have done it for her family members and supported me in all possible ways. I could get my driving license in this limited period only because of her support. I recommend the beginning new driving school to anyone who is interested in learning safe and detail-oriented driving.

Ms. Rani was so incredibly gentle and patient with me. I had tried other driving schools and teachers, but she was personable, professional, and patient. I was a little jittery behind the wheel, but she encouraged me and gave me the confidence to take my driving test and pass. All this while she was experiencing great hardships in her personal life that would make it difficult for her to find time for an appointment with me. She did it anyway. So selfless! I am so grateful to Ms. Rani. I highly recommend Ms. Rani to everyone. Trust me, learning from her is an honor and a pleasure.

Begin New Driving School has continued to live up to expectation. The school is run by Mrs. Rani Nathan, a retired teacher. She has handled the affairs of the school for over two decades and a half. Takes the success of her students at heart, ensuring the fulfillment of the students’ aspirations and the objectives of Maryland Motor Authority of safety on wheels. She takes her job seriously leaves nothing to chance. Every class is as important as the one before it or the next. Class attendance is strictly adhered to and punctuality is a key requirement to ensure no knowledge is missed by any student. Time allotted for each module is judiciously utilized. Always seeking ways for continuous improvement, Mrs. Nathan is indeed an asset to the driving school, a sure link to her students and above all a trustworthy ally to MVA. I came, I saw and fully convinced. I have no hesitation in recommending the Begin New Driving School to any prospective driver.Innocent Ariwaodo

I chose this school for practice lessons a few weeks before my drivers test. I absolutely loved working with Ms. Rani!! She is SO nice and patient. I hadnt been practicing for a few months beforehand and had some bad experiences with past driving schools but Begin New is fantastic. The price is a lot cheaper than most other schools in the area and Ms. Rani really works with you and gives you some independence with the practice.I took my drivers test the other day and passed!! I couldnt have done it without her!

Rani is very patient and a good teacher. Ms Lee prepares you not only physically but to be mentally ready for the driving test. They prepare you for both the written and skills test. Reasonably priced. :)

Great value driving school! The 30 hours of theoretical instruction were very helpful and the 6 hours behind-the-wheel practice focused on the most important part of driving such as turns, parking and safe driving on the roads and on the highways.

I did the 30 hr Drivers class that is required by the MVA, and 6 hrs of driving practice which was included, followed by 10 hrs of personal driving lessons.Ms. Rani has been fantastic, especially, considering the fact that I never drove a car before. She taught me the procedures of operating a vehicle step-by-step and did several rounds of practice in the parking lot to make sure that I am comfortable and confident prior to taking me on the road.I am currently waiting to take my road test, but Ms. Rani was supportive, patient, and has excellent knowledge of the MVA rules which has me confident to take the test.Also, I greatly appreciated completing the lessons within a month after the class which helps to complete the program quickly and gave me confidence to schedule my road test. I HIGHLY recommend Begin New Driving School and it is also much cheaper than the other classes in the DMV area!

I had a great experience with my driving instructor, she was really helpful and very driven to teach me how to drive. I appreciate all the long hours being with her as I learn to drive and also park, I believe this school will help others as much as it helped me because the instructor is really determined to teach those who sign up for her class. I recommend this school for new drivers because you’ll get quality help and also get a fun experience as well. The instructor will get you ready for your driving exam.

This is the best driving school in the DMV. MsR.ani the driving school teacher is so detail in the classroom. she makes sure you get every details on what you need to know on the road. Ms. Lee the road teacher is the best there is, when I tell you I did not know how to reverse parking to save my life i was not kidding. Ms. Lee took her time to teach me how to do it, she was so patient with me, I felt so bad for getting it, but she really got me know do it perfectly. this school was worth it

Review №30

Weve had 3 kids go though this school and all had an excellent experience and all three got their license on their first try! Excellent, supportive, and patient, as everyone already said. Id like to add flexible and timely to that list. Our first kid went through a different school, and they were ok, right up until time to schedule the 6 hours of driving time. That school took 2 months to get those hours, while Begin New reliably scheduled them as soon as we were ready. I have 2 more kids to go, and well definitely be using Begin New for both of them!

Review №32

I had been putting off driver’s ed due to that fact that my busy schedule did not let me off the hook! But when Summer came, a friend referred me to Begin New Driving School and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The teachers/instructors are wonderful and very thorough. Miss. Rani takes you through the whole course with up-to-date and easy to learn information. They make sure that you actually have all of the driving hours you need for Maryland and they do not skimp on them as they take driving very seriously. They take you through and make sure that you’re ready for the test and are always on time for every class, and the on the road lessons. As an added bonus, they will also pick you up for your lesson. After the course, not only am I ready for the skills test, but I have become a better driver with a faster reaction time who has avoided many accidents that could have taken place. This driving school is outstanding and worth every dime I spent on it.

Review №34

I usually rely on online reviews about products and services. This time again, the reviews were right. Ms. Rani is really all what the students said she is, great teacher, kind and patient, fair and just.The class is two weeks, a lot to cover and Ms. Rani makes it fun and interactive. The AAA videos are the best!I have to say, I had been postponing driving forever, I was so afraid.On my first driving practice, Ms. Rani took me on the road! Baltimore Ave on a busy day!!! On my third lesson, she took me on 495!!! And I did not freeze, or bump into another car. She trusted me and gave me confidence.Begin New Driving School is really a good place to start driving by learning good skills and safety habits.I will totally recommend this school to anyone who needs real teaching and no shortcuts.

Review №35

Just done my behind the wheel exam last Saturday and I learned a lot from the teacher. I never had any idea on how to do reverse parking and parallel parking until the teacher showed me how, then I learned and got some tips from her on how to do it right. She was the best driving school teacher. Yes, I recommend this driving school to anybody who really needs to learn quickly. Dont try to search affordable driving school, search for better quality school where you can learn a lot without wasting your money. I was from the other driving school before but never learn something from them until the closed down, no wonder why.

Review №36

The teacher was great. She was helpful and answered all of my questions well. Upon completing the in-class course, the instructor was a helpful part of me passing the practical driving test. I was given some hours of practice in various driving situations, parallel and reverse parking. I was also picked up from my home and dropped off after the lessons which made it convenient.

My experience at this driving school was great. Unlike other driving schools Ive heard of Begin New instructors teach the material very well and break it down so your best understanding. Also, on the road the driving instructor pays full attention as you drive and makes sure to correct your every mistake. Overall, I really liked this driving school and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good driving school to attend.

This school was a great experience. Ms. Rani was an excellent instructor. She had a very thorough procedure of teaching and broke every thing down in easy steps to remember.

I highly recommend the Begin New Driving School for anyone looking to learn driving from scratch, or to brush up on their driving skills. I was a student at the school for my Maryland Driver Education course. The normally dry 30-hr course was taught very well in an engaging manner by Ms. Rani. I still remember most of the anecdotes used in class! During each section, Ms. Rani would give us tips to follow while driving, related to the section, which have proved to be very useful.My first driving session was also the first time I was driving on the road. The school has excellent cars that are specially equipped for driver training, with front passenger seat brakes, multiple mirrors etc. Ms. Rani was patient and gave me the confidence to overcome the initial hurdles of a first-time driver. Learning how to handle a car in the parking lot is important, but driving (carefully) on the road really sharpens your skills! Ms. Ranis experience in teaching how to drive really shows during the sessions, and I was able to understand the minor yet important details that have to be considered.The course is also very reasonably priced, with great value!

My experience was pleasant. The teachers are nice. Class is standard : clips and quiz. The on-the-road experience is the best half. Shes great at teaching you how to parallel park and how to back into a parking space. She goes over the route for the local DMV so the road test is not the 1st time youll see the course. She really prepares you for the test. I recommend it. Time went by quick :)

Very good driving school, I successfully complete my 36 hours here. For many driving school, after you complete the 30 hours lessons in the classroom, you need to wait for a long time until you they help you to complete the other 6 hours behind the wheel. But in here, all the 36 hours can be completed in one month. I really like it.
