The Next Street - Norwalk Driving School

Fantastic experience: Had a driving lesson with Ari and he was very informative and helpful to prepare for my upcoming driving test. He's got to be the best instructor they have.

Fantastic experience: The lesson I had in Norwalk was very good. I took my test just yesterday and Al Cirigliano was an incredible guy. He helped check me in and told me what to expect. He made the experience absolutely awesome. My agent was also very good. God bless.

Fantastic experience: I wasn't at all threatened by the customer service. The man in the front, Al, was very clear about everything I needed to be concerned with during my test. He made sure to define things I didn't understand and he wasn't over speaking.

Fantastic experience: Just had a dope driving Lesson with Are Yiannoulis. Great guy who gave great info and made the whole experience easy. Would definitely recommend him to new drivers. Easy 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Got a lesson here with Ari, great lesson great teacher, super helpful. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Had a great lesson with Ari! I had a 2 hour lesson and was given lots of helpful information and tips to apply to my driving. I feel very prepared for my road test and definitely recommend these lessons!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter just had her first road lesson with Ari Yiannoulis. He was amazing. Explained every detail to us. He was professional & friendly. My daughter felt at ease and safe going out on the road with him. This is my second child going through this process and this was by far the best experience. Thank you Ari.

Fantastic experience: Jayron is an amazing instructor! He's so patient, never misses details, and provides a comprehensive written review of your course. When I took a road test there, Bob helped me feel comfortable and remind key details. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous for my road test, but the last person I talked to before my test, he said his name was Bob Zaums and he was very patient and gentle. He explained what I should expect in the test and encouraged me. They are very nice. If you are a student and intimidated, I would say don’t worry.

Fantastic experience: My experience at the Next Street Driving Norwalk was amazing! The staff really taught me what I needed to know for the test and I felt prepared on test day. On the day of of the test, Bob helped combat my anxiety for road test and gave me confidence to do well. They truly helped me pass my road test.

Negative experience: This has been the worst experience and nothing but a money grab by the Next Street. I paid for an OT driving evaluation, the full 30 hour class with 8 hours of driving and an additional 10 hours of individual instruction for my daughter totaling over $2,500. The instructor driving lessons are impossible to schedule. They are a generic call center and they will constantly tell you there is no appointments available. I tried to schedule her road test over 2 months in advance the moment their email notice came out that dates to schedule were available... no surprise that when I called they said no appointments were available in Norwalk but offered to see if they could fit us in over 2 hours away in Avon, CT!! I tried to get her certificate to just have her test at the DMV and their record keeping is so bad that they do not even have most of her lessons in her record and they are telling me she does not have the requirements to be able to issue a certificate. This is due to their poor record keeping, not any other issue. Since they can not schedule her driving test due to no appointments available, and they will not issue the certificate due to their own poor record keeping... they are now telling me when her permit expires she will have to start from scratch. No way I would pay this company for any more lessons. Just awful customer service, record keeping and administration. If you want a call center that only can take your credit card payment, then use this company... EDIT: and after all this she failed her test. Clearly, the instruction doesn't work either..

Negative experience: The positive part is they offer zoom classes. The negative parts: the availability of driving lessons locally were not ideal. I had to cancel that part but they did refund me. The real issue is the teacher my son had. Let's just call her Ms. D. She booted him from a Zoom class for being 5 min late from break. Perhaps that is the policy but it was ridiculous. He had to retake the class. I called to find out why this happened and they explained. the very next class she called out my son in front of everybody and said she never wanted to hear from a parent again. From then on she picked on him several times accusing him of not paying attention or playing games (all untrue) She was simply nasty. I did report her after he completed all his classes. This is more a complaint against her. completely unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: Sarah Heywood helped me throughout 15 fun classes, making driver's ed easy to understand and enjoyable. She gave us fun Kahoots and word searches to help us retain information between note taking and was never late for class. With the information she gave us I was able to take enough notes and retain enough information to score the highest in class on both my midterm AND final! Thank you Sarah!

Negative experience: My experience was alright. I didn't think the full 30hrs was necessary, and most of it was repetitive. You are better off doing the 8hr, but we did the 30hr for the insurance. It was a hit or miss with my instructors. I had to do a lot of makeup because Saturdays weren't the best times. Customer service was the same way as well; you either got somebody good or somebody terrible. The drives themselves were overall not the best. My driver, that I had on two occasions, made me stop both times back to the building to use the bathroom. The first time was ok, but the second time he spent 20 mins in the bathroom during my two-hour lesson. Also, he would never correct my mistakes on the road... Once we parked, he would expect me to recite what I did wrong or unload his thoughts there and then. I was taught a few good things and helped with parking.

Fantastic experience: So far, I am on my last driving lesson and it has been amazing. All of my instructors, Jay & Victor, has been so helpful and patient with me.

Fantastic experience: Took the 4 class series of the 8-hour training for class as well as the driving lesson. Sarah Heywood was very entertaining nd mde the class informative and not boring. I also took a driving lesson with John (I forgot his last name but he is older and Irish) very gret instructor as well!!

Negative experience: This is actually a review of two lessons, one I would give a zero, and one I would give a 5. It all depends on who the instructor is. My daughter was yelled at and belittled by an instructor. She freaked out and really screwed up the lesson because she could not concentrate. The instructor also clapped her hands loudly next to her face. To Next Street's credit they gave her another lesson for free and it was great. In the first lesson she got almost all 1s. In the second it was 4s and 5s. Amazing how that changed so quickly! Be careful who you schedule with.

Fantastic experience: The No-Zone video was hilarious, our class at Wilton High School was laughing a lot at the video.
