I had a wonderful experience with the school. I took most of my lessons with Lorna and Peggy, and they were both amazing. As someone for whom spatial awareness doesn’t come naturally, they were incredibly patient, supportive, and clear in their instruction. They made the learning process feel comfortable and manageable, and I felt more confident with each lesson. I highly recommend them.

Belmont Driving School was excellent. As an international student, they were incredibly supportive and helped by sponsoring me, which made the whole process much easier. The instructors are patient, professional, and focused on building confidence and safe driving skills. Scheduling was easy, and I felt fully prepared for the road test. Highly recommend! I got the license first try with Lorna’s kind and encouraging guidance. Oh and did I mention it’s women-owned? That’s right:)

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Belmont Driving School. My daughter often came home frustrated and upset after her lessons, especially because of her interactions with one instructor named Nick. She told me that he would place his hand on her shoulder and arm during lessons in a way that made her feel uncomfortable and uneasy. As a parent, this raised serious concerns for me about professionalism and appropriate boundaries.
In addition to this, the overall quality of instruction was very poor. My daughter repeatedly told me that she was rarely taught the actual fundamentals of driving. Instead of focusing on essential skills such as parallel parking, proper turning techniques, backing up in a straight line, and performing a three point turn, much of the lesson time was spent simply driving around without clear guidance or instruction. This made the lessons feel like a waste of valuable time and money.
The school itself appears to be very disorganized. They seem to accept far too many students, which results in constant overbooking and scheduling problems. Lessons frequently started late, which reduced the amount of actual learning time and showed a lack of respect for students and their families. Consistency was also a major issue, as different instructors taught different techniques. This made it confusing for my daughter, since she was never able to build on what she previously learned in a clear and structured way.
Overall, I would not recommend Belmont Driving School to others. A driving school should prioritize safety, professionalism, organization, and quality teaching, and this school failed to meet those expectations.

I would never recommend this driving school to anyone. I rarely write reviews, but I feel strongly about warning other parents because this was an extremely disappointing experience. The school is completely disorganized and clearly overbooked. They have far too many instructors, yet none of them seem genuinely focused on properly teaching students how to drive. Some instructors were unprofessional and made my daughter uncomfortable. Scheduling lessons was a constant struggle, it was very difficult to find an hour that worked for both us and the school.
Most concerning, my daughter did not learn the basic skills she should have by the end of the program. I was genuinely shocked to find that she did not even know how to parallel park after completing her lessons. Overall, this felt like a waste of both time and money. Please do not go here.
