Mr. Salman was one of the greatest instructors/people I have driven a car with. He is very calm and very passionate about what he does! Thanks to him and Drive Well Driving School!

Very good driving school. Instructor is very kind. It was a good environment and it was good. The instructor is very patient and calm. He gives you directions on where to go way ahead so you don’t have to rush to make a turn or anything. I recommend this school for sure.

Abidah is a phenomenal driving instructor. I highly recommend having her for anyone who’s looking. As someone who had never previously drove, she worked with me to build up my confidence on the road and did so successfully. Now I’m driving everywhere! If you ever feel scared to start, she offers so many memorable pointers that help ease any nerves. She reminds you that you’re in control of the vehicle, not the other way around. Whether you’re 16, 18, or even 25, she holds so much patience and grace for all of her students. It’s never too late to start, so start with Abidah!

Ms. Abidah is a great driver instructor. From the very first lesson, she gave me to confidence and patience I needed. Thank you for all the tips and encouragement during our lessons. I will be recommending her to my sister as well. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to learn how to drive!

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Ms. Abidah. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her teaching style is clear, patient, and tailored to my needs, which really helped me progress at my own pace. She’s also incredibly sweet and a great person to have a conversation with. She’s always friendly, punctual, and makes the hour fly by with her engaging approach. Ms. Abidah takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, from teaching me how to turn right to parking techniques, and always provides constructive feedback that helped me feel like I was improving after every session.

Mr. Sal was by far the best driving instructor ever! He always stayed very calm and helped me work on my driving, as well as assisted me to learn new things that made me become a better driver. He was able to fit to my schedule on short notice, and gave me reminders for my lessons. In the day of the test, he made sure I was well prepared and helped me pass it by making me stay calm!
Thank you so much!!!

I got my license within a week, I would heavily advise driving with drivewelldrivingschool. They take precautions such as having a break pedal on the instructors side and a rear view mirror. The instructor corrects what you do wrong while you're driving and he's very alert. There's free pick up and drop off and different behind the wheel courses on their website such as paying for the full 45 hours you need before taking your drivers test, or taking a week course to practice to get your drivers license. Very happy with my license, had a great experience.

I had great experience learning my driving first time ever with Salman sir, he was a very patient, calm, and well mannered instructor. He took time to guide me about theory as well as practical of driving. He always calmed me down when I was anxious. He corrected me multiple times without getting annoyed. He always gave me encouragement that I can learn and drive like everyone else inspite of no driving experience. Starting from scratch, today I was able to drive on road, the credit goes to my instructor. I highly recommend Drive Well Driving School.

My instructor, Mohamad, was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable when it came to driving. The overall behind the-wheel course was very smooth, and I have learned a lot from it. He was such a good instructor that I passed the first time. I would recommend Drive Well Driving School to everyone!

I did private lessons and behind the wheel for adults with Sal. My overall experience was wonderful. He’s a great instructor and created an individualized plan just for me that focused on my weak points and how to get me to be the best driver possible. After completion of the course, I now feel confident enough to drive!

The whole experience of Behind the Wheeling with Drive Well Driving School taught me so much! My instructor remained patient with me, and taught me tips I didn’t know before about driving. I know I’ll be using these helpful tips for the rest of my driving. During my driver’s test, I was very nervous, but my instructor remained patient with me and created a safe testing atmosphere. This was truly a beneficial and helpful experience that will carry on with me!
