Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, I did my lessons with Sam and can honestly say what a brilliant instructor she is, really helped me out with taking time out her day to help me get this done. Had to work on a few things but she was calm and taught me everything she could so I could pass my test at such short notice when no-one else could help me. She even had to push other lessons back just so we could work on my faults and taking the time to teach me while she was not working that week, so once again I really appreciate what Sam from podium driving did to help me get to this stage once again. Thank-you.

Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Samantha at Podium enough for all her hard work, patience and dedication to help support my son on passing his tests! We had been with another driving school for over a year, then we changed to Poduim where Samantha really helped in the areas that Alfie lacked most and to gain the confidence and knowledge to pass both his theory and driving test with only 5 driver faults. Thank you so much we couldn’t of done it without Samantha.
