Rated 5.0 The below review was written by my 17 ½ yr old son, as he was the one who took the lesson and interacted with Mr. Manrao. As the parent, I researched and I am the one that booked the lesson plan hoping for the best. As my son is the one being taught and he has the student insight, I feel his review lends more credibility! For parents, Mr. Manrao provides detailed expectations to avoid any issues. “Before I had started my first driving lesson with Mr. Ravi Manrao, I was nervous that he would be the type of teacher who would scold you and be harsh for mistakes. So when I got into the driver’s seat for the first lesson, I was very pleased to learn that he focuses more on making sure you understood what to do right for next time rather than telling you off for what you did wrong. He was very calm and never had any rude, harsh, or scolding tones throughout any of the lessons. He also focused on teaching me what the DMV would be looking for specifically and running me through the things that I will be tested on when I take my test. For me personally, I already had lots of driving practice and on-road experience before my lessons so I did not need to go through the most basic training. However, he made sure that my fundamentals (turning, braking, lane changing, etc.) were smoothened out and more consistent -- as that is what the DMV will look for. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Manrao and do greatly encourage others to trust him and learn from him as I did.”

Rated 5.0 The response for my initial query was super fast and I got introduced to Ravi Manrao – who is such a nice gentleman and has become such a influencing factor in my driving now – he not only tells you what has to be done for a DMV test but preps on why it as to be done and how it will affect the day to day driving. My driving where horned by him as I drove in India where anytime any turn and any type of driving is possible – he understood my strengths and concentrated on what I need to improve for the US roads and YES I got my license with the DMV with 5 days of my driving course with just two lessons. HE is such a gentleman and a thorough who I would recommend if you want to learn real driving.

Rated 5.0 Ravi Manrao is one of the best driving teacher I’ve ever met. He teaches with a lot of patience and simplifies tough things like parallel parking. I learnt that in 5 min and this is my first driving experience ever. With just 3 classes, I’ve learnt how to drive on highways , change lanes and take turns with confidence and full control. He also reiterates the importance of safety first and he’ll make you practice which ever maneuver you are weak in til you gain confidence doing it. I would always suggest Ravi Manrao, when you decide to learn driving the correct way!

Rated 5.0 I have had 3 sessions with Ravi, and I can honestly say he will not move on until you feel you are satisfied with what you have learned. When I mentioned this to my sister, she signed up with Ravi. Just like me she favored the way he was patient with us when things were getting complicated. Ravi let’s driving be fun and less stressful, throughout his lessons. Ravi is in addition to very funny, intelligent, and polite when it comes to having a student who needs a lot of help driving. He will make sure that after his lessons that you will be able to drive on the road safely. Thank you Ravi for the lessons, the laughter, and the courage when it comes to driving behind the wheel.

Rated 5.0 I did try my hands with different instructors from various driving schools across states. However, I never felt prepared for the drive test. This time, I made sure to research for a good instructor, and I am pleased with Ravi Manrao ( I can’t vouch for the driving school). He made driving so simple that I really enjoy driving. Of course i did pass my test in the first attempt. Ravi is a busy man, so make sure you call him well in advance to book your classes.

Rated 5.0 Ravi was a great instructor. Very calm and patient and walks through what to do step by step. I felt very comfortable and confident on the road. Highly recommended. The way you schedule driving lessons with this driving school is that it lists the instructors associated with the school on their website and you directly contact the instructor and schedule lessons with him. They also have online lessons and other services but we did not make use of them. Therefore, this is essentially a review of one driving instructor – Mr. Ravi Manrao. Scheduling appointments with Ravi was easy – he responded promptly to set up appointments and also was good about changing dates and times when the ones we had initially scheduled did not work out. The quality of driving instruction was also top-notch. He was patient, did not easily get flustered and most importantly, was consistent in everything he said. I have seen too many complaints about instructors who give conflicting advice and completely confuse the kid. This wasn’t the case with Ravi – my daughter came away from each lesson with a clear understanding of what to do. I have no hesitation in recommending Ravi as a driving instructor – indeed, I have already passed his name on to several friends.

Rated 5.0 My teacher was Ravi and he was excellent! He was patient with me and helped me feel more confident in my driving skills (the most driving I did before the lessons was with my parents in a parking lot!). With more complex driving moves like parallel parking and the 3 point turn, he gave me tips as well as slowly moving me through everything. And when I finally went on the freeway during my 3rd lesson, he made me feel at ease. I truly feel prepared for when I take my test. I definitely recommend Ravi for your driving lessons!

Rated 5.0 I had a great experience with Ravi Manrao. He definitely helped prepare me. Then for my behind the wheel training I had was absolutely phenomenal. First day of driving and I was already in downtown. Part of what makes him a really good instructor is the fact that he is always looking out for you and working with you to correct your errors. He also makes sure that you get extensive practice with important skills.

Rated 5.0 This review is for Ravi, who recently finished 6 hours behind the wheel training session for my son. I found the reviews on yelp very helpful when I was looking for a driving instructor for my son. When I called, Ravi was able to convey his availability right away. He also mentioned some important rules before my son could take the driving test at DMV. He sent a confirmation email with the lesson dates and times. Ravi was on time all 3 days and was calm and patient during all 3 lessons. My son learnt a lot from him and is greatly appreciative of every driving skill he was taught by Ravi.

Rated 5.0 Another glowing review for Ravi! Thank you to all who recommended Ravi Manrao as an instructor. My son just completed his behind the wheel training with Ravi and it was a wonderful experience. First when we inquired about Ravi’s availability, he responded right away with a detailed list of expectations and criteria. I like this clarity up front so that there is no confusion. Ravi made my son feel comfortable and he is very knowledgeable and skilled. He willingly answered questions and offered helpful tips including a useful diagram of parallel parking. My son is on the quiet side so when he compliments someone it is not something that comes often. He stated that Ravi is a great instructor and this says so much from a teenager. We very much appreciate Ravi’s professionalism and expertise.

Rated 5.0 Finally, got over the fear of behind the wheel. Thanks to Ravi! Took 2 classes and now all set to drive. Ravi teaches easy methods which I was not aware of and they work! It was a great learning experience. Highly recommend Ravi for anyone looking to learn driving.

Rated 5.0 My son needed a driver's training instructor for his 6 hrs of behind the wheel instruction since he's under 18. We called a couple of instructors from the list but their schedule did not work for my son. We contacted Ravi, and he took my son out. Ravi always showed up on time, was super courteous and my son learned a lot. At the end of each day, Ravi told my son what he needed to improve on. On the last day, Ravi took my son on the freeway. Whew, better Ravi than me. Ravi signed my son's permit and gave him a certificate of completion on the last day.

Rated 5.0 Ravi is the best driving instructor out there. He never forces you to do anything and he always keeps a very positive attitude. When driving, Ravi keeps a very calm voice and he makes it very easy to keep cool. Even at the end he asked me of I needed to work on anything and he helped me out. I would defiantly recommend to a friend.

Rated 5.0 I wanted to take driving lessons and was reffered to Mr.Ravi by a friend.she had very nice things to say about him.I was hopeful and confident I could learn it from Mr.Ravi, as my previous experiences with couple of more private instructors wasn't good.I called up and he was very quick to give me the timings.I took 3 lessons with sir, I got over my fear of being behind the wheels by my third class.He has lot of patience to teach without scolding or being harsh on you, also He will never panic you which was very helpful for me to understand. He is technically very strong and is a professional.Will recommend to my friends.

Rated 5.0 I had always been anxious about learning to drive, but Ravi did a great job teaching me everything I need to know for the license test. He helped me learn to stay calm and relaxed, which was a problem I was having early on. Really do recommend him!

Rated 5.0 I had a good experience with My Instructor was Ravi.. He is really nice. I had 6 lessons with him. He is very detailed, his teaching style is amazing. Sometime he uses pen and paper to show rules. Initially I was very nervous but by the time I had my last lesson I was so confident. And also I passed my test in 1st attempt. If you are new here and looking for a driving instructor. I would say Ravi is the best. NG

Rated 5.0 I had only one lesson with Mr. Ravi as I'm over 18 and didn't need 6 hours but I learned more in that two hour session than I had the whole couple months practicing before. Not only is Mr. Ravi an incredibly adept and knowledgeable teacher, he is also very intelligent. While some driving schools only teach you how to pass the driving test, Mr. Ravi taught me that as well as how to be a genuinely good and safe driver. Mr. Ravi was strict but never harsh, exact but never overly critical, and overall everything one looks for in a teacher. I was able to pass my driving test on the first try with only two minor errors. I have only the highest praises for Mr. Ravi and I would definitely definitely recommend!

Rated 5.0 My son's driving instructor was Ravi Manrao. Ravi followed up quickly via email after our phone conversation. Here's my son's feedback: Mr. Manrao did a great job teaching me to drive. The first day, we drove on surface roads. The next day, we worked on parallel parking and driving on busier streets. The final lesson, I drove on the highway and practiced parking in parking lots. His instructions were clear and he was calm and encouraging during my lessons. I feel confident driving and would recommend Mr. Manrao as an instructor.
