Lewis School of Driving Inc: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Classes, lessons and the road test were easy to schedule (though there are time periods that are more busy than others and advanced scheduling is necessary). I found them to be courteous and helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to write this. We really appreciated you choosing us as we work hard as a small family owned business to take care of each and every student. Stay safe!
Fantastic experience: The school was a great experience. All instructors were friendly and helpful. Taking the driving test through the school was so convenient. I would recommend this school to anybody regardless of age to go to.
Fantastic experience: We are in Stamford and chose Lewis on recommendation from a medical professional since we were concerned about our new driver's anxiety and lack of confidence in learning how to drive. Lewis's flexibility in scheduling made it possible for us, and it is a miracle that they produced a conscientious, thoughtful driver, competent enough to pass the test on the first attempt!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Lewis Driving School, especially Kevin, as one of the best instructors there. His patience and calm demeanor helped me gain confidence in driving.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It really helps with promoting our small family business! I will let Kevin know of your high praise.
Safe driving
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience. Justine and Jennifer provided excellent customer service. Jennifer went above and beyond to make everything possible, even after hours. The drivers were nice, and one even spoke Spanish. I highly recommend them.
Thanks for this review and I’ll let my staff know of your high praise! Happy New Year and safe driving!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning to drive at Lewis. The online lessons were really helpful, and the in-person lessons were even better. All of the instructors I worked with, especially Sam, were patient and gave me such good advice/tips. I just passed my driving test with a perfect score, and I’m so glad I chose Lewis to learn how to drive.
Thank you Sophie for taking the time to write this and congratulations!!

Fantastic experience: Lewis was a pleasure to work with! Excellent lessons and professional staff - I highly reccomend this company !
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this, it means a lot to all my staff that care so much for every student we teach. Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Second teen completed this program with great success. If you are nervous about teaching your child on the road, their instructors are great. If you’ve got an athlete and their schedule doesn’t work with all the on line courses, they work with you to get it done. If you think that there aren’t any road instruction classes available, the cancellation list is actively managed and appointments become available weekly. We are very happy with our two different experiences and will be back with our third teen. We live in Wilton.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and also for using us for both of your children. Safe driving to them both!
Fantastic experience: THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AND ORGANIZERS, YOU HELPED ME A LOT. I WISH YOU PROSPERITY. THANK YOU

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Lewis School of Driving! The classes were easy to schedule, the instruction was clear, and targeted to teach the skills required to become not only a licensed driver, but a SAFE driver. The school’s instructors are very professional and instill confidence in their students. I never doubted my teenage daughter would pass the licensing test on the first try, and felt completely stress free when I handed her the keys for her first solo drive. Thanks so much!
Bonnie, thank you for taking the time to write this and also mentioning our goal of making sure our students are safe drivers! That is a very important goal of ours. Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driving lessons with Lewis School of Driving, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, they provided top-notch instruction that not only helped me become a confident driver but also instilled in me a sense of responsibility on the road. One of the standout aspects of my time with Lewis was the kindness and supportiveness of the instructors like Chris, Eddie, Sam, Steve. They were patient, understanding, and always ready to offer encouragement, even when I made mistakes. Their positive attitude made each lesson enjoyable and helped me overcome any nerves I had about driving. I truly appreciated how the instructors took the time to tailor the lessons to my individual needs, ensuring that I gained the skills and confidence necessary to pass my driving test. Their dedication to their students' success is evident in every interaction. Overall, I highly recommend Lewis to anyone looking to learn how to drive. Not only will you receive top-quality instruction, but you'll also be supported by a team of kind and caring professionals who are truly invested in your success. Thank you, Lewis, for helping me become a safe and confident driver!
Thank you so much for this review and congratulations on passing your test! I will let your instructors know of the high praise and wish you continued safe driving!

Fantastic experience: Am an adult who took lessons with Lewis School of Driving, and just got my license. I really appreciate the professionalism and great customer service at this driving school. I got prompt responses whenever I either emailed or called-thanks to Jennifer. I had Rob as my instructor, whom I thank immensely for giving me guidance and worked tirelessly to help me succeed. I couldn’t have done it without his clear communication. I highly recommend Lewis School of Driving to anyone. Thank you again for all the help. Fatima
Thank you Fatima! I am so delighted you successfully passed your road test and glad you were able to finally take it at Lewis. Stay safe!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today, thanks to the driving lessons instructed by SAM! He is incredible. He is kind and patient and makes you feel very comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I 1000000% recommend him. If you are an adult looking to start taking driving lessons at Lewis Driving School, trust me, you will be in great hands with SAM. I would also love to highlight Jen for making scheduling and communication so easy. I appreciate you for always being so accommodating!
Thank you for taking the time to write this! Congratulations on passing your road test. I’ll be sure to let Sam and Jen know of your high praise.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended Lewis School of driving. I passed the road test, thanks to Rob. He is the best instructor!
Thank you so much for this review- I’ll pass your message along to Rob
Fantastic experience: Rob is an absolutely incredible driving instructor. I genuinely don't think without him I could have got my license and for an anxious adult learning to drive he showed infinite patience and empathy. He works within your limits while pushing you just enough to get you to succeed but not so much that you lose confidence and want to give up. It is a truly a rare and admirable skill to be able to help people overcome such a long term difficult obstacle in their life for which I am eternally grateful. Absolutely do not hesitate to book Rob if you are an adult driver or for your child as he is dedicated, kind and genuinely will be invested in your success. 10 stars. Lewis itself the cars are clean and well maintained and the system is easy to schedule lessons. Availability especially for Rob is sometimes tricky (worth the wait) but they have always been very accommodating.
Thank you Fleur! I will let Rob know of your high praise! Continued safe driving.

Fantastic experience: We live in Stamford and have used Lewis for both of our daughters. They are fabulous! The office makes the administrative aspects (scheduling lessons, scheduling the test) easy and they are very quick to respond to questions. Rob and Eddie stand out as exceptional teachers who helped my new drivers feel confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend using Lewis!
Thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Lewis is terrific. All 3 young adults are safe drivers today. Thank You for your patient dedicated caring driving instructors.
Thank you very much Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: It was a very nice school. The office was good , very quick worked for me. My instructor was Rob. He was best. I haven't been driving for about 15 years, so I went to get my license again. I had afraid of driving, but he understood my point and taught me, now driving became fun. Also it was very nice that driving instructor came to my house and lesson around my neighborhood.
Thank you very much for the review and I will let Rob know!
Fantastic experience: Our son went through the Lewis Training and it was a great way to educate, provide practical experience behind the wheel while offering a chance to engage/ask questions to make him safer and more knowledgeable on the road. We found the information to be thorough and situationally sound. We’ll use Lewis again when our youngest child is preparing to get his license.
Thank you Philip - we really appreciate the review. We do offer a sibling discount when your youngest one comes through!
Fantastic experience: Lewis School of Driving was an absolute pleasure to work with. The staff is great, VERY communicative and is able to help with any questions. Their driving staff was also great. Would highly recommend them to anyone with young drivers looking to be well prepared to pass their road test. Thanks again for everything!
Thank you Jim - I truly appreciate the review. We are a small family owned business and work hard to take good care of all our students.
Fantastic experience: Our triplet boys have been taking lessons with Lewis school of driving and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We found Lewis to be very professional and our boys liked every instructor they had! The whole process was made easy and even when one of our boys was ill and missed a classroom zoom before his test, Lewis arranged a private zoom so he could still take his test on the date booked. I would recommend booking lessons in advance to secure suitable times as they do get booked quickly. All staff are extremely helpful and professional and we have no reservations in recommending Lewis School of driving.
Thank you Rebecca! You had a big task with training 3 at one time! Stay safe and thanks for using Lewis - as you know we are a small family firm and do appreciate the positive review
Fantastic experience: Lewis make the process smooth and effective. My son feels confident in all he learnt in the zoom classes (well worth it) and in-car lessons.
Thank you Jane! We truly appreciate your support and review. It means a lot as we are a small family run business .
All the best to Harry

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience and I felt like the instructors really cared about my success. They were great at preparing me for the test and gave very helpful feedback on my driving in general.
Thank you Isabella - we are so very glad you felt cared for as we pride ourself on that
Congratulations on your success!
Fantastic experience: This school has been great to me and I'm deaf, they have been patient with me too. I passed the test only one time this week. Rob is a great instructor and I'm grateful to him and the school. I'd recommend Lewis School if people asked me where they would go to a really good driving school!
Thank you Erving - I’m so glad you were successful on your road test! I will share this review with Rob.
All the best

Thank you Joe and I’m glad you were successful the 1st try - I’ll let Rob know about the good words.
All the best

Fantastic experience: Let me just say that this is the best driving school in all of Connecticut. I don’t like long reviews so I’ll make this quick and easy to read: - I received A+ service from everyone I interacted with. - Brigam was an excellent tutor and I am so grateful for the tips he gave me during lessons. He made everything so easy. - Rob was the best person that could have taken me on to my road test. His knowledge seems almost limitless. I completed my driving test with a perfect score and I couldn’t have done so without this incredible team.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! And congratulations on getting your license. Well done on the perfect score!
Fantastic experience: I did my classroom requirement to have a driver's permit with Lewis via a promotion at groupon. Wanting to go on a budget my on the road driving class, I went to a different driving school as suggested by a friend because she said it is cheaper but I felt like the instructor dont teach me enough, doesnt gives me confidence, and makes me feel uncomfortable and just nervous all the time. Tried asking my husband to take me out to teach me but that too, didnt go very well as to his point, he isnt really equipped or good in instructing on driving. When Im just trying to learn how to drive, it is very important that I gain the confidence I need. As much as I wanted to save money on classes to get my license, my main goal really is to be able to drive my son anywhere whole, alive and safe. So I enrolled at Lewis for driving classes. It pays off in the end. They were nice to me the whole time. Worked with my schedule very well and even pick me up at work and sends me home. Rob is so calm and funny i dont feel nervous whenever we do our on the road classes. He tells me and gives me time for me to correct my mistakes and learn from it. Might not be important to some but it is to me. Today, I am very happy as I pass my road test with no comments or "X" on it. Thank you thank you!!! "Salamat" in Filipino
Congratulations Paula! I heard you passed with flying colors….well done. And thank you for taking the time to write this, it means a lot.
Fantastic experience: Both of my kids went to Lewis School of Driving and had great experience. They both passed the driving test on the first try. The school's staff and instructors are very friendly and hard-working. Jennifer is always very helpful and does her best to find lesson times that fit our kids' schedule. I recommend Lewis School of Driving with no reservation.
We appreciate that Lingru!
Fantastic experience: A great place to bring your child to learn how to safely drive a car. Very helpful from the online classroom sessions right up to the DMV driver's test that happens right there at the school. Highly recommended!
Thanks Sam! Nice to meet you and hear all about your business. Love to support local :)
Fantastic experience: So far, it has been great. Scheduling is easy and the instructor is great and always on time. Will update review once I get license!
Just seeing this review. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Lewis is the best! I had a great experience, instructors were super friendly and knowledgable. Plus my two good friends who met there are now getting married, 10 years later!
Thanks so much Anna! So interesting about your friends meeting there. A few years ago we had another couple who met here at Lewis and had their announcement in the NY Times with an article about it all. Congrats to your friends!
Fantastic experience: We taught all three of our kids how to drive and only had them take the mandatory 8h theory classes with 2 hours of driving lessons. My oldest did the 2 driving lesson option (discontinued since) and road test with Fresh Green Light in Darien 4 years ago. Even though being a good driver the driving instructor the night before his road test told him that he would fail - I had to take him out to drive that evening just to bolster his confidence again. He passed the next day without any points taken off. My middle one took the road test at the DMV in Danbury and did not pass three years ago - supposedly touched the grass parallel parking! I found out about Lewis School of driving and he went there. Took two lessons and had his road test the next week - passed without a problem. My youngest took two lessons with Lewis and passed two days ago. Both had Rob as an instructor who was really great. My experience with Lewis: they actually seem to care about the students, scheduling lessons and road test was easy (we had long waiting times at Fresh Green light). Also, I thought the mandatory parent "lesson" was a lot more informative at Lewis. Fresh Green light focused mainly on distracted driving and kids being killed showing a lot of videos. Lewis did too, but also gave parents tips how to teach their kids how to drive and what to watch out for. The parent class at Lewis was run by the owner who did an excellent job.
Claudia, thank you for the encouraging words. We do care greatly about our students and work hard on making sure both parents and students understand the process and what goes into making a safe driver. Have a wonderful summer!
Fantastic experience: Lewis School of Driving was recommended to me by several coworkers and I am so thrilled and happy that I listened to their recommendations. They were so accommodating and was able to work with my schedule and situation on a very short hand notice. I had Kevin and Rob as instructors both of whom were exquisite. They were patient and made me feel at ease. I felt very well equipped going into my road test. I would recommend this business to anyone. Thank you so much for all of your assistance.
Christianna, congratulations on getting your license! Thank you for the encouraging words.
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience at this driving school. The staff is so friendly. Highly recommend!
Thanks Megan!
Fantastic experience: All 3 of our children attended Lewis School of Driving. The class schedule is flexible and abundant, giving them all the ability to finish at their own pace. The driving instructors are patient and clear and Rob was fantastic with putting us all at ease. For anyone with new drivers, the discount on insurance for completing the program is a needed bonus. Love this family run business and would highly recommend them!
Thank you Michelle! Our business is indeed family owned and we all live in the area. We appreciate the support and thank you for the encouraging words.
Fantastic experience: I just got my license today the school was great. the classes were very informative and the teachers were amazing at getting the information through in an exciting way. The driving sessions were fun and very helpful. I would recommend this school 100%
Thank you Dean! Congrats on getting your license! Have a safe summer.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my experience here. As an adult learner, driving can be nerve wracking. Jen, my instructor, was super patient and always calm and collected. Her easy going nature really helped calm my nerves behind the wheel. She was also great at breaking down instructions in a way that I can understand. I honestly could not have passed my road test without her expert instruction, really glad I decided to take lessons here!
I’m so sorry I missed this review Daisy. Thank you! We work hard at tailoring every lesson to each student and so glad Jen was able to help you!
Fantastic experience: Lewis Driving school is truly an incredible driving school. I was able to learn how drive very well and pass my license test within a month. The instructors are very patient and truly wants there student to succeed. One instructor in particular was amazing. Jen made sure I was going to pass my test and gave me the confidence that I needed. I would recommend Lewis Driving school to anybody who want to get there license.
Monique, I’m just seeing this review. Thank you for posting it. Hope you are doing well.
Positive experience: Great service great trainers from the first day I star the course until I got my license, but don't miss no appointments because the lady will be changing you $40.00 penalty for not showing up!!! Exelente servicio hablan español tambien lo recomiendo no fayes a tus citas de manejo que la señora te cobra de ahi em fuera buena escuela!!
