Mon Ami Driving School

Common Questions

Detailed answers for learners comparing driving schools in Flushing, Queens.

Decision support

Reduce uncertainty before you book.

Every section is organized around what a student needs before calling, without overpromising road-test results.

What phone number should I call?

MapQuest and DMV.ORG list (718) 460-0096. DrivingSchools.Directory also lists (917) 693-1057, so the site exposes both.

Is Mon Ami good for nervous adult beginners?

That is the clearest review theme: patient, detailed instruction for anxious, first-time, returning, and trauma-affected drivers.

Who is Mr. Hyun?

Public review summaries repeatedly name Mr. Hyun or Victor Hyun as the instructor associated with Mon Ami's teaching style.

Are hours always 9 AM to 5 PM?

DrivingSchools.Directory lists Monday through Saturday 9:00-17:00 and Sunday closed. Call first because lesson schedules can pull instructors away from the office.

Do they help with road-test scheduling?

Public reviews frequently mention fast or helpful test scheduling support. Confirm current availability by phone.

Is a first-try pass guaranteed?

No responsible school should guarantee DMV outcomes. The stronger promise is reducing avoidable mistakes through calm, specific practice.

What languages are lessons taught in?

Mr. Hyun teaches primarily in English and Korean. Office staff can assist with coordinates and schedules in English and Korean.

What should I bring to my first private driving lesson?

You must bring your physical New York State learner permit (photo ID or temporary paper permit). We recommend wearing comfortable closed-toe shoes.

Do I use my own car or the school's car for the road test?

You can use the school's vehicle for your road test. Using the school car is highly recommended because it is DMV-approved and you will be familiar with its controls.

Where do the lessons start and end?

Most lessons start and end at our Union Street office in Downtown Flushing, or nearby pre-arranged transit points. Call to confirm door-to-door availability.

How many lessons do I need to pass the road test?

Beginners typically need 10 to 20 hours of professional instruction combined with private practice. Experienced or foreign-license transfer students may only need 2 to 5 lessons to adjust to local rules.

Can I get help with the 5-Hour Pre-Licensing Course?

Yes, we provide support and coordination for the mandatory 5-hour pre-licensing class (MV-278). Call the office to check the schedule and register.
