Having just passed my test, I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. I was quite an anxious driver when I started with little to no experience and he was always calm, patient and reassuring, which really helped build my confidence.
He also knew exactly when to be firm and push me when I needed it. It never felt like he was just teaching me to pass the test — he made sure I was driving safely and confidently beyond the standard needed, so I’d actually feel ready to drive on my own afterwards.
I’m really grateful for all his patience, support and encouragement, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive, especially if you’re a nervous driver. Thanks so much, Sam. Absolute legend!
