Nova driving school provided excellent service for my second time using them. Isama'eel was a patient and knowledgeable instructor who provided ample practice and helpful tips. He was customer-focused and helped build my confidence for passing the driving test. I highly recommend Nova driving school, especially if you lack confidence or are a first-time driver.
