Sama's Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Today I passed my special driving test with my instructor Sam and it was my first attempt. Learning with a difficulty and communication issues. I was able to complete my journey. My instructor is an amazing person and so understanding he helped me achieve and believed in me. I always felt so good after my lessons compared to my last instructor who I left. I am so happy I changed to a instructor who cared about me. Without him it wasn't possible to drive
Fantastic experience: Passed my automatic test with only 2 minors thanks to Sam! He’s genuinely the best instructor I could’ve asked for. Always patient, calm, and kind, even when I was nervous. He never made me take unnecessary lessons, always explained things clearly, and kept encouraging me to push on when I felt like giving up. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to pass, not just profit. Honestly, couldn’t recommend him enough – if you want an instructer who actually cares, supports you all the way and makes the entire process really smooth, go with Sam! HIGHLY recommend him to anybody learning to drive.
Laila! A huge congratulations from the team. Well done for achieving such a great result on your 1st attempt. A great team work from you and the Instructor. We are known for our dedication and honesty. Wish you the best and see you on the roads .
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time today with the help and guidance of Sammy. He taught me from day one till end.

I would 100% recommend him to my friends and anyone wanting to learn how to drive properly.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time with Sam, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor He’s calm, patient, and really knows how to build your confidence on the road.

Congratulations Afiya. Very proud of you and excellent results. We do our very best with each student and appreciate your kind words. We wish you very best and see you on the roads. All the best on your driving journey.
Fantastic experience: Passed My Driving Test Today! I passed my driving test today with Sam in an automatic car, and I honestly couldn’t be happier! Sam is an excellent instructor he explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand each step properly. I switched to him after learning with another instructor, and I’m so glad I did. Sam not only boosted my confidence behind the wheel, but he also found me an earlier test date free of charge something most instructors charge extra for. What I really appreciate is that he won’t make you take unnecessary lessons or waste your money. Unlike some instructors, Sam is honest and only gives you the number of lessons you actually need. He genuinely wants you to pass, not just keep you paying. My sister is also learning with him now, and I’ve recommended him to others too. If you’re looking for a professional, honest, and supportive driving instructor, I highly recommend Sam!

Fantastic experience: I started my driving lessons with Sam, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. His teaching style is clear, patient, and really easy to understand. He explains everything perfectly, which made such a difference for me especially after switching from a different instructor. Thanks to Sam, I passed my test today with only 2 minor faults! If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable instructor, I highly recommend him.

What an achievement on Eid! Double celebrations, thank you for trusting us. Thinking back you passed within 3 months of starting thats fantastic. Keep safe, see you on the roads Maryam.
Fantastic experience: Sama’s been very patient, calm, and supportive — honestly more like a friend than just an instructor! She never makes me feel silly for asking questions or needing extra time to get things right, and she always explains everything so clearly. So grateful to be learning with her — fingers crossed for test day, but I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Fantastic experience: An amazing instructor who has great patience and understands your needs and how long you may take to learn/ pass. I passed on the first test. She is very friendly, professional and flexible to your needs and time management. I had my lessons during university and exam season which limited my availabilities, but she always made time during my availabilities. I recommend her to anyone looking for a very good driving instructor.
Thank you hun for your kind words. You were a great pleasure to teach. So proud of you xx any advise am just fingertips away.
Fantastic experience: I went through 4/5 different instructors over a period of 2 years, failed 6 times, and had no confidence in my driving. With Sama, I was able to pass STRAIGHT AWAY, she knew exactly where my weaknesses were and how to target it, as well as being a good peoples persons, the way she teaches is beautiful. She’s straight to the point and doesn’t waste your time as I saw with other instructors and not only did i become a better driver, I believed in myself and became so confident because of her way of teaching - just incredible really. She’s also very patient and dedicated - I recommended my friends to Sama too and they passed as well (naturally). Could not recommend her more!
Iqra- the most kindest soul Thank you soo much my lovely. I knew you are capable of plenty of challenging things and I am grateful you chose me for your driving journey. Love it when strangers become life long friends. Appreciate your recommendations xx
Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable, confident, and truly cared for. Their patience, kindness, and calm nature made all the difference—especially on the days I felt nervous or unsure of myself. She doesn't just teach you how to pass the test; she teaches you how to be a safe, smart, and responsible driver. Every lesson felt personal and tailored to what I needed most. You can tell she genuinely love what she does and care deeply about their students' success. Thanks to their encouragement and expert guidance, I passed my test with confidence. But more than that, I gained a skill that I’ll carry with me forever—and I’ll always be grateful for the way she supported me every step of the way. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for not just a great teacher, but a truly wonderful human being.
Aww AmEna (E) Thank you so much for your kind words. You were truly a pleasure to teach and to achieve a friend on the journey is a great feeling. I will miss you. Keep safe on the roads and am here for all the tips and tricks of the "real rds" just fingertips away.Thank you for trusting me xx.
Fantastic experience: I’m incredibly grateful to my driving instructor, Sammy from Sama’s Driving School. I originally started with a different driving school but wasn’t happy with the teaching, as I felt I wasn’t progressing and wasn’t being taught properly. However, after just a month of lessons with Sammy, I learned so much and passed my driving test on my first attempt! Sammy is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to break everything down in a way that’s easy to understand. He always made sure I fully grasped each concept and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!
Thank you Heena for you kind words! You were a pleasure to teach and am so proud of you. A first time pass is excellent achievement, we are super proud of you. Keep safe and see you on the roads. Any advice for the roads we're just a call away.

Fantastic experience: I had a horrible experience with another driving school before I had the chance to meet Sama, and I’m so glad I did.

Aww Thank you so much for your kind words. Really appreciate your time for the feedback. Always here to help again.
Fantastic experience: Sama was brilliant, I booked a mock test with her to have a feel for the real test and she went through everything clearly and efficiently! I learnt a lot just from that one lesson and will be taking her advice and tips forward!
Thank you my lovely. Wish you the best am sure you'll pass with flying colours. Just keep up the good driving.
Fantastic experience: I passed with Sama over two years ago and I could not recommend her enough. She was a great instructor providing thorough lessons with patience and compassion. She goes above and beyond for her students and created a safe space where I could reach out for driving advise years later.

Fantastic experience: Sama is an amazing instructor very patient, very friendly.. i wasnt gonna take any lessons but am happy i did with her.. she has taught me alot of things while driving, which i wasnt really aware of. Small things do make a difference I would definitely recommend her if you are a beginner or even on an intermediate level
Thank you Arti for the lovely words. You have a bright future ahead and I wish you the best x
Fantastic experience: With patience and reassurance Sama helped me overcome my anxiety during lessons. I am so thankful that I had lessons with Sama (and Ismail, Zims). I passed my driving test all thanks to both of them. I definitely recommend Sama and Zims driving school!
Thank you Saf you were a pleasure to teach. See you on the roads x
Fantastic experience: My daughter passed driving test on the c first attempt alhumdulillah , it was her hard work under the excellent coaching by Sama❤️. I can not recommend Sama enough as an amazing teacher who pushed her to achieve the results. Thank you so much
Thank you Rabia for trusting me with the process and your kind words x
Fantastic experience: Sama was a great instructor who was very kind and friendly. She was super accomodating and supportive, and made the whole driving experience really fun!
Hannah! You were a pleasure to teach and at 17 you've passed is an achievement itself. Wish you the best for future

My daughter enjoyed all the lessons she had with Sama (and Ismail - Zimms) and she learnt a lot. She passed much thanks to Sama's guidance and support all throughout her learning journey. I recommend Sama (and Zimms)
Hey Thank you for such kind words and trusting us throughout.
Fantastic experience: After having a not so good experience from an instructor from YM driving academy i decided to contact Sama and ask wether she could take me on, eventhough i asked in very short notice as my test was booked within two weeks Sama still went over and beyond to make sure i pass (from showing videos to using google maps and most importantly positive words of encouragement) this ensured i understood everything she was teaching me very well. Her style of teaching is unmatchable and she boosts youre confidence in driving through her methods, i honestly cant recommend her enough !!
Aww thank you Amina you've been a pleasure to teach and Alhumdulliah a lovely person I met. I could see the spark in you and you proved me correct. Keep safe am here for all advice x
Fantastic experience: Sama was a really great instructor. So lovely and kind. She was really supportive and patient and made learning to drive so easy. We built a great relationship and I can say she’s one of the best instructors that I’ve had I would absolutely recommend her
Thank you beautiful wish to the best and am glad I met you.
Fantastic experience: I learnt to drive with Sama a few years ago. I had been left by my previous instructor a few weeks before my driving test and was unsure of what to do. I heard of Sama through a friend and she was such a great instructor. She was calm, patient, understanding and knew exactly how to get me ready for my exam. She encouraged me to go for my test even when I didn’t feel ready and I managed to pass first time. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor!
Thank you Kulsoom, pleasure to teach you your sisters.
Fantastic experience: Sama is an exceptional driving instructor that I cannot recommend enough. Her kindness, patience and dedication is unparalleled and she created the most comfortable learning environment and tailored her lessons to my needs. Sama made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible from making learning videos to specific notes at the end of each lesson. Not only is Sama an outstanding instructor, but is immensely friendly and caring, she goes above and beyond for her students before and after their driving journey.
Thank you Zainab, you were a pleasure to teach. Best of luck for the future see you on the roads x
Fantastic experience: Learning with Sama was so easy, she’s so warm and welcoming and teaches you in a way that you actually can understand. She’s very patient and calm when you can’t quite get the grasp of things and will help you to understand where and why your going wrong, overall she’s a really good instructor and would 100% recommend her
Thank you Faatimah really appreciate it. You were a gem to teach x
Fantastic experience: Same is an outstanding instructor who always goes out of her to ensure you understand everything and always remains patient. I’ve never met someone with this much patience but also she ensures progress is not slow and never wastes any time. A kind and beautiful person who always greets you with a smile and comes up with different techniques to make sure the information stays with you forever. I had low confidence in my driving, Sama always believed in me and I passed first time with her. She goes out of her way to make helpful videos and writes extra notes for her students to allow them to continue learning outside of lessons.
Khadija! Thank you ever so much for your kind words. We met as strangers and became good friends! It was lovely teaching you and your brother with Ziims.
Fantastic experience: Sama is the best instructor I have come across (I have had a few bad ones before) honestly she teaches really well and doesnt stop until you understand what you are doing and how you are doing. She helps through videos & notes throughout lessons which is so so good!! And she really does put in so much effort and time into teaching you! 3 of my sisters have been taught by Sama and all passed first time. I passed on the same day as 2 other girls - Sama is the best for taking on 3 students tests back to back in one day. Honestly a hero for all the effort, hard work and energy. Not only is she a great instructor, shes a genuine and understanding person and will try her best no matter what! She cares her students and she goes all her way. Definitely recommend!!! All the love to Sama’s driving school x
Sonali Thank you so much . I wish you the best for your future and it's always has been a great team work. Well Done
