Sam Gomes - DLA Driving School

Fantastic experience: Just the best service possible, Sam was an amazing instructor, made learning to drive easy and just an amazing person that made me feel comfortable every time we went on a lesson. 11/10

Fantastic experience: Was a great and patient driving instructor. Took time to understand me and where I was at. Due to COVID and university I had not driven properly in five years before my lessons with Sam and we managed to build on and massively expand all of my skills and knowledge. I passed first time, with lots of practice and Sam's help!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter recently passed her driving test first time after learning to drive with Sam at DLA. After a slightly shaky start with a different instructor my daughter was a little anxious about driving, but Sam made her feel very comfortable from the very first lesson and she always came home feeling positive about her driving, she was also given lots of feedback both verbal and via an app with next steps and detailing her progress. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone in the area wanting to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for all your help, motivation, and support in staying focused on learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: Sam was an absolutely amazing driving instructor and I can’t recommend her enough! She was patient, calm and when my daughter was ready for her test she was honest in saying she does not need anymore lessons rather than letting us keep booking lessons she didn’t need. She answered all my many questions around the nightmare of getting a test date and was even able to get us an earlier date through the contacts she has. My daughter passed first time ! Thank you Sam

Fantastic experience: Sam (was) always - on time - friendly and approachable - understood my needs and identified weak points - came up with alternative methods when I wasn’t able to grasp the first idea She also helped me swap my terrible (for me) test date for the perfect one, amidst DVLA strikes nonetheless. Thanks again, Sam, I wouldn’t have passed without you!

Fantastic experience: Loved having Sam as my driving instructor. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a calm, focused and persistent instructor. Thank you for not giving up on me and trying different ways to solve my problems!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly and helpful lady. Without the support from Sam we would have lost a test date, she went out of her way to help us reschedule the test date with another student and helped my son for his last few weeks lessons and the test. Sam thank you so much the stress we was under leading up to this was such a worry and within 24hrs you had helped with this and this allowed him to concentrate on his lesson and test prep. Again thank you so much and all the best

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have chose a better driving instructor to teach me, Samantha understood that I learn better by doing things and taught me in a way that she knew would help me out, instead of telling me things, she would show me the process and get me to do it. Fingers crossed I never need to but I would definitely go back to her and recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased I had Sam to teach me how to drive as she made it so simple and I loved her idea of the dots to help with reverse positioning I would recommend Sam to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I learnt with Sam between July 2021 and April 2022 and I was always very pleased with the lesson quality and the patience and commitment that Sam had for me. She would always answer any questions that I had inside or outside of lessons, which was really helpful as it would put my mind at ease. I always felt safe behind the wheel and that was helped by Sam’s confidence :) I would highly recommend learning with Sam, she is easy to talk to, and a genuinely nice lady to learn with, which made lessons enjoyable!
