I have been taking my driving lessons for a good while now and find it necessary to leave a review at this point. My instructor, Samuel Maitland, has transformed me from a nervous wreck into a modestly confident driver within this period of time. After my first 'round' of lessons (and tests!) as a teenager, I found it difficult to believe that I'd ever regain the courage to begin learning to drive again as a mature student. The early lessons I had with Sam were focused on building my confidence, reintroducing me to a car and developing trust. Sam is patient and flexible, a delightful teacher who has always quickly identified my needs and learning processes. His technique is methodical and focused, never failing to deliver an outstanding lesson which I believe has got me where I am today. At around the halfway point in my lessons, it transpired that I had additional needs as a student. Sam took the time to listen to my struggles on one particularly difficult day; by the next lesson, he'd developed a strategy that not only helped me escape a negative thinking pattern, but boosted my confidence to the next level. I highly recommend this wonderful instructor to all and would award 6 stars if possible!
