I would recommend Samantha to anyone. Thank you so much. |
Jennifer Logan 2nd time pass Sam was an absolutely fantastic instructor, she knew where I needed extra help and knew how to boost my confidence when I felt as though I couldn’t do it ! She is so friendly and it makes learning to drive so much more relaxing and easy ! I have really enjoyed learning to drive with Sam. I was a very nervous driver and Sam has helped me so much ! Thank you so much ! The workbook is amazing, everything you need to know is in there and how to do it, it’s fantastic for the theory test as well as the online LDC questions and reading material! I would 1000% recommend Sam and LDC to friends and family. Thank you so much again! X |
Lily Stevenson 2nd time pass My driving instructor was amazing! After having a bad experience with my last driving instructor she was leaps and bounds better than what I had. She always made me feel safe and calm and I would fully recommend sam to anyone who wants to learn. She really cares and makes sure you work on your weakest points, so you go into test feeling confident. The workbook and videos were extremely useful and helped me correct all the mistakes. I can’t fault the company in anyway and will recommend the company to anyone who is ever looking to drive, especially to Sam! |
Eleanor Hughes 1st time pass I found Samantha to be an amazing instructor, always welcoming and supportive. She had the most confidence in me. Thank you so much. |
Tara Wooderson 2nd time pass From my experience with driving with Samantha Young I have felt comfortable, relaxed and calm, Sam was amazing. She has built my confidence up so well. At first I was so nervous, but now I have much more confidence. I 100% recommend Sam to anyone learning to drive. |
Megan Wall 1st time pass Sam is great at going at your speed. She never rushes your progress and is great at giving the support that we need. Also Sam gives you all the information needed for test and gives you good time to practice. The workbook was a big help and clearly states what you need to know. The app for the theory test helped me understand what was expected. |
Lewis Powell 1st time pass Sam was very patient and understood how to make me feel comfortable and supported, throughout all my lessons. I was able to decide how to spend lessons and focus on topics that I wanted to. This made me feel much better as I was able to focus and be supported on less comfortable areas of driving. Overall Sam is a great teacher and would not have passed first time without her. |
Katie Crawford Passed 1st time Samantha was very patient as I was learning. We looked through the LDC book before I learned something new and she pushed me in a good comfortable way to try things I was a bit scared to do. She kept taking me on test routes and places where things could be tricky. |
Paul Jones 2nd time pass Friendly person who is very patient, easy to understand directions. I enjoyed my lessons with Samantha, helped me pass. |
Robert Griffiths 1st time pass I feel that Sam totally put me at ease. Her voice and personality is very calming and she made me feel relaxed. I would highly recommend her for younger and older students. |
Katie Wilkinson Passed 1st time Samantha was FANTASTIC! She kept with me through literal sweat and tears. This course was the best idea I could have done, could not recommend them enough. The LDC book they gave you is the bible of passing you test. Lovely instructor, great course, thank you LDC. |
