North West 3 Driving School

Positive experience: I was really happy that I chose Sam to be my driving instructor. Although I had some driving experience before taking lessons with Sam, I had never driven in a left-hand-traffic country before and was also not confident driving a manual car. So there was a lot to cover in my lessons before I was going to take the (famously difficult) UK driving test. I think Sam did an excellent job helping me become a better, more confident and most importantly SAFER driver (keeping both myself and other road users as safe as possible.) Sam not only taught from a clearly outlined and structured syllabus (a refresher course for international drivers, in my case), but also tailored the lessons to specifically go over the points I needed to improve upon, and constantly provided me with feedback to help improve my technique. All of this to say that I think Sam's driving course really helped me gain the skills I needed - although I still needed private practice to gain confidence, I found! Although I passed my driving test on the first try with only four minor faults, despite doing it in Barnet (one of the test centres in London with the lowest pass rate nationally). None of this would have been possible without Sam's diligent help and harping on me to do the right thing, consistently. Sam was also flexible around my schedule and didn't hesitate to schedule lessons at times that were convenient - for me, that meant late evenings or Saturday mornings. I however couldn't help but feel that Sam's lessons - along with most driving instructors' lessons in London - are quite expensive. Whilst developing driving skills in London is important, and so forth, I can't help but feel that this level of service is to be expected when the cost of lessons is double what it is in the rest of the UK. So although I would rate the lessons five-stars for quality, I can't help but think that they are four stars for value overall. Nevertheless, I was extremely happy with the experience I had and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone else I should meet.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with my experience at North West 3 Driving School. Passing my driving test on the first try was a huge milestone for me, and I owe it all to Sam. From day one, he went above and beyond to ensure I not only learned the necessary skills but also developed good driving habits that will serve me well for years to come. What sets Sam apart is his genuine interest in his students. He's not just there to teach you how to drive; he's there to listen, offer advice, and share in your successes. Our conversations went beyond the realm of driving, and I always felt like I was talking to a friend rather than just an instructor. Thanks to Sam, I now feel confident and prepared to take on the road ahead. I highly recommend North West 3 Driving School to anyone looking for a positive and enriching driving school experience.
