Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test first attempt with just one driver fault. Sal has been an amazing driving instructor. I have been taking weekly lessons since March 2022. He was a very friendly, extremely patient and a professional driving instructor, he taught all the tips and tricks of driving confidently on the roads through enjoyable lessons. Last but not the least he is also a great motivator, he kept motivating me from the very first lesson until the last minute before I went to face the exam, which certainly helped a great deal to boost my confidence and overcome my nervousness. I would definitely recommend Sal to anyone who is looking to start driving lessons.

Chaitanya Korisapati 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been waiting for sometime since pandemic (with no driving test slots available) to book a driving test and take lessons from a experienced and easy go instructor. I did a lot of research and was super lucky to narrow my first choice to select Mr.Sal- an amazing instructor who has so much patience and ensures you learn how to drive safe on roads while test cares of itself. Even though I have driven in my home country, I had to unlearn a lot of things and make sure that I adopt the driving behaviour that suits the roads here. I have to give a "Big ThankQ" to Sal for his constant encouragement throughout especially after my first failed attempt after my training. I was able to comeback immediately in a month time with two day lessons with him and successful pass in my second attempt today.Huge credit goes to Sal for this. If you are living in St Albans, looking learn/improve driving skills and pass the driving test then the first person to give a call is Mr.Sal. Thanks once again.

Tash Hatjiosef 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sal is a truly excellent driving instructor. I ultimately passed with 3 minors, which is testament to his skill, but doesn’t give him enough credit for his diligence. Sal always goes the extra mile as a teacher: not only is he very patient and calm, but he is also meticulous in teaching and practising all aspects of driving. Likewise, his experience as an examiner was both reassuring and useful in lessons. In particular, I really appreciated the time Sal took to get to know my style. His patience in working on my weak points was a big help in making me feel as prepared as possible (and a bit less concerned), on the day of the test. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Smallrandomgoat 12 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Sal from Bell Driving School. From the start Sal’s professional and methodical approach was to thoroughly explain and practise every aspect of driving. Although I came to Sal with driving experience abroad I am confident my driving and awareness has improved immensely. His patient and practical approach helped me gain the confidence and skill to pass my UK driving test today on my first try with only 3 driving faults. If you are lucky to be one of his students I am sure like me you will never forget this life changing teacher!

Ana Silva 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't describe how glad I am about my driving Instructor Mr Sal, from Bell Driving School, I passed on my first driving test with just 4 minor faults! He really taught me how to drive and how to be confident for my driving test, he covered everything that could possibly happen on the test day and before the test we had a very intensive and efficient lesson that made me feel ready for it. It is a pity that I didn't meet Mr Sal before, because I wasted a lot of money with a previous Instructors that made me feel insecure and unable to drive, so at the time I got very demotivated and I gave up of my dream, luckily after a while I met Mr Sal and started to believe on myself again.

I took multiple lessons with him and he always made me feel at ease. With Sal my nerves just disappeared! He’s extremely knowledgeable (as he was an examiner before). Within no time I was ready to take my test again, he reassured me that I was ready and today I PASSED!! Unlike other instructors he isn’t there to take your money, he’s genuinely as excited as you for you to pass and prosper! He didn’t push for extra lessons, in fact when I wanted ones he told me I didn’t need them. SAL IS AMAZING! best instructor out there. Thank you Sal, Lexie :)

Amal Fahd 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sal was highly recommended by a friend who recently passed her driving test but still wanted to know more so checked google reviews. I was so impressed of what other learners said that I had to try for myself. God what can I say!!!! He (Sal) is THE best instructor you could wish for. His teaching abilities are really easy to understand and apprehend. His vast knowledge and years of experience, not to mention he being an ex DVSA Examiner for many years, make him the perfect and complete Driving Instructor. Sal always found time to answer my messages, booked lessons to suit my availability and NOT once was he late. Thanks to Sal I have today passed my driving test, first attempt with only 2 drivers faults. Sal helped me achieve the much sought after dream, making my life a lot easier. I would highly recommend Sal and Bell, the driving school, to anyone wishing to learn to drive in the most proper and correct way thus making the actual test a formality.

Maddie Brooks 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After passing my driving test first time, there is now strong evidence against my friends constant claims that I am a terrible driver, and that is all down to Sal. Rewind 4 years to when I first started learning to drive, with a not-so-great instructor, and my confidence was at an all time low. Back to present day and within the first 15 minutes of my lesson with Sal, I felt like a rockstar in the car. He is incredibly patient and the most expert driving instructor I could have ever wished for! He really took the time to make sure I was comfortable with everything we were learning and by the time my test came around, I could not be more ready! Reliable, knowledgable and an all around awesome human! 10/10 would recommend! Shout out to you Sal!

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy I have passed my driving test with 2 minor faults this morning! It’s been such a long and tough journey for me as went though the period of heavily pregnant and newborn baby! I really, really wanted to give up several times but Sal had encouraged me to not and he believed I was a decent driver! I wouldn’t have done it without him! He’s such a wonderful, understanding and positive instructor you could ask for! I highly recommend him if you wanna pass yours!!!

Morgan Fink 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sal is an excellent instructor and the reason I passed my test the first time with only three minor faults! I had a different instructor beforehand and after my first lesson with Sal I was blown away - I learned as much with Sal in one lesson as I did with my first instructor in three lessons. My lessons with Sal covered the instructions used by examiners, all of the possible maneuvers, the most likely test routes for St. Albans, and many general driving tips and tricks. He thoroughly explained the "why" behind procedures which really helped with remembering what to do. He accommodated my work schedule and helped ease my nerves before the exam. In addition to being an incredible instructor, he's also a great guy and made my lessons fun and enjoyable! Would absolutely recommend Sal without hesitation.

Hannah Foxton 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sal is the best in the business - I highly recommend him. I passed first time! I had another driving instructor previously and they weren’t a patch on him.

Fantastic experience: Sal is the best instructor in St Albans. I would not have been able to pass my test without his help. Always on time and dedicated. I would highly recommend Sal to anyone wants to be a safe driver. I passed my tests today with three minors. Thank you very much Sal for all your patience .

Fantastic experience: Bell Driving School was extremely helpful in prepapring me for my test. My Instructor Mark was very professional and his wealth of knowledge put me in the best position to pass on my first attempt. I highly recommend Bell Driving School to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxed and professional environment to learn.

Fantastic experience: Can not recommend Mark from st Alban's enough, he is an excellent teacher and is very patient but also makes everything seem simple. He's very encouraging and built my confidence right to the top. I had other lessons in the past with someone else but always felt I got more out of my lessons with mark and came away feeling more prepared and confident. You are the very best at what you do Mark! Thank you for everything!!
