Before I went with Sal I was messed around by previous instructors and had a lot of driving anxiety that was stopping me from reaching test level.
Sal is a very calm and patient instructor and 100% gave me the confidence I needed to pass. He makes an effort to understand how you learn best and develops a well structured lesson plan to make sure you're continuously progressing, which is something my previous instructors didnt do!
Sal is a very patient driving instructor, keen to teach using the methods which suit you best. He gives opportunity for problem solving which helps to develop your independence and quickly builds up your confidence on the road. Within 4 weeks of starting lessons, I passed my test!
Simply the best, very patient and helps with everything. Highly recommended, passed first time, no issues at all
Sal is a fantastic all-round driving coach. I passed first time a few days ago at the Horsforth centre, all thanks to him! He doesn't just teach you how to drive to test-standard, he goes the extra mile to ensure you are a safe and competent driver overall. On top of this, he's just a very nice gent, easy to talk to and always has an encouraging outlook and attitude 😊.
In terms of the driving, the absolute beginner curriculum path I was on, did not feel rushed or dragged out - it was well paced and we ensured I had nailed a topic down before moving onto the next. It was always led by my confidence level and whether I felt like I needed more practice or wanted to move on.
He is unlike other instructors in the sense that he asks you questions rather than telling you the answers. This allowed me to come to my own decisions on the road / solve my own problems. Though when I did struggle, he would notice and clearly explain my mistakes and how to rectify them (with or without dual-control 😅). I would highly recommend Sal for this reason as active thinking and problem solving is far superior, when it comes to learning, than passively following an instructors commands.
He is very systematic and thorough, we went over everything that could possibly come up on the test, including the routes (for the Horsforth DTC), all the maneuvers, safety questions, etc... We did also cover some extras like nightime driving, rain and even had a motorway lesson. And finally mentioning the mock tests towards the end, which are great too!
Overall exceptional experience, would give 10 stars if I could 😁Highly recommend!
Sal is great and very patience instructor. Helped me with my taxi license straight away. 2 lessons was enough to make me feel confident and correct all my mistakes and passed straight away. High recommended!!!!!! Thanks for everything Sal
