Hi Jk, you must all be so happy that he passed. Thanks for the great review for Sam.

Fantastic experience: Sam is the most patient and understanding instructor that perfectly tailors his lessons to the specific needs of the student. Thank you so much Sam
Hi Michelle, so glad that your son passed his test today. yes Sam is a top notch instructor.
Fantastic experience: Sam makes the PDA seem so easy. His knowledge of the routes used is unreal. I had done manoeuvres and scenarios in my test that Sam and I had already done countless times before. This made the test much easier, all I had to do was remember what I had done in my lessons with Sam.
That's amazing Kevin, sounds like it all went to plan. Drive safe
Fantastic experience: Sam taught me how to drive. He is amazing! Very patient and encouraging. I passed on my first try :) Highly recommended!
Hi clover, well done on passing your PDA on your first attempt.Thanks for the great review.
Fantastic experience: My daughter who has an intellectual disability had been with another company for 2 years without success so we decided to change to Drive in November last year. Sam, from Drive, is a very calm, consistent, supportive, professional, exceptional driving instructor. He could see that my daughter could drive well, she just needed to find the confidence in herself and her ability, while doing a PDA. He did a wonderful job and so today she successfully obtained her provisional licence. I recommend Drive - Perth's Driving School to everyone, they are brilliant!
Hi Lisa, I'm really glad that she persevered and passed her driving test, you must both be really proud.I can't agree more , Sam is an excellent instructor and a great access to our company.Thanks so much for the glowing review, Steve.

Fantastic experience: I drove with Sam for almost 40 hours, sometimes for long drives all the way to Rockingham and back. Not once was there ever a time where I did not feel comfortable in the vehicle. Sam is a fantastic and capable instructor who is able to make learners feel comfortable even when they make considerable errors. Sam is also fantastic conversation and company to have, and makes you feel like you're driving with a friend rather than a teacher. His services are fantastic and I strongly recommend him as a choice when endeavoring to learn how to drive. -Ryan

Hi Jak, awesome work on passing your test. From the DRIVE team.
Fantastic experience: Sam was incredible teaching me to drive and getting me ready for my PDA, he was an excellent instructor and the best I have ever had. With Sam’s help I passed my PDA on the first go. I can’t recommend Sam more! He is the best!
Hi Awesome work on passing your PDA. I couldn't agree more, Sam really is a brilliant instructor and a really nice guy.
Fantastic experience: Sam is a great instructor. He can be a bit harsh at times but it's all with good intention. For some of the practice I do wish he would let you do some attempts without any input so you could see how you go. As an example, earlier on I didn't quite get how to reverse park properly, but it looked like I knew how to do it because he would give you input on when to spin the wheel etc and I would just follow that instead of judging it myself. But apart from that, overall he was really great and helped me get my licence. I can't thank him enough, thanks Sam :)
Hi Tim, so happy that you passed today. Thanks for your 5 star rating even though you had some reservations. It's a very constructive review that I will pass onto Sam.
Fantastic experience: Passed test first go with only a few lessons. Sam is an awesome instructor who knows everything you could need to pass your test.
Congratulations on passing your test with flying colors! We're thrilled to hear that Sam's expert instruction and guidance helped you achieve this milestone with ease. Thanks for your kind words – we're lucky to have Sam on our team!
Fantastic experience: FANTASTIC driving instructor, gave great information and a wonderful way of showing how to correct errors you are making. I could not recommend this man enough. Thank you
Thank you, Ellenor! We're delighted to hear that Sam's clear guidance and supportive approach helped you improve your driving skills. Your heartfelt recommendation means a lot to us, and we're grateful for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Sam is an excellent instructor. He is committed and sticks to a schedule. He teaches you to drive as a skill not, to pass a test. I passed my test at first go much to his credit.
Hi, way to go passing your test on the 1st attempt. So glad you enjoyed your lessons with Sam and thanks for the great review. Steve.
Fantastic experience: I found that I enjoyed all my driving lessons and was comfortable with my instructor. They were friendly, encouraging and incredibly easy to talk to. My confidence in my driving skills increased and I was more comfortable with myself driving. Overall I had a wonderful experience and would recommend this school to anyone who is learning to drive.
Hi Emily, I'm so glad that you gained a lot from your lessons and that you enjoyed them. Thanks for the great review, Steve.

Hi, thats awesome news that you passed you test. Thanks a lot for the great review, steve.
Fantastic experience: Perth Driving School- Sam has been a great instructor for my son. My son has passed his test for the first time so we would like to thank him for his instruction and expertise.
Hi Revi, we're so glad your son past his test first time. Thanks for the great feedback, Steve.
Fantastic experience: Learning how to drive was easy when you have Sam teaching you. When learning Sam spoke clearly and everything he taught was easy to understand. Not once was I confused. What helped me pass my driving test was him knowing where the driving instructors test their drivers. I did my test in Mirrabooka and everywhere I drove was exactly the same route I took with Sam. I highly recommend Sam to everybody looking for a driving instructor. Thanks Sam.
Hi Ameer, well done on passing your PDA. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your lessons with Sam. Thanks for the great Review, Steve.

Hi Aaliyah- Skye- Awesome job on passing your PDA. Thanks so much for the great review. I've got to agree with you Sam is an awesome instructor and such a nice guy as well. Thanks again, steve.
Fantastic experience: I was instructed by Sam and went for my driving test in Joondalup and passed after only just one lesson in the area and previous lessons elsewhere. Sam was very professional and felt more like a very good friend than a driving instructor, whenever I was in doubt of my skills he assured me that I was doing well and without him I dont know how i would have passed my PDA. Highly recommend taking lessons with these guys!!!

Hi Kenzie, awesome news on you passing your test.
Fantastic experience: Hi, I only started started taking lessons with the company since January 2019 and I passed my pda on the first attempt. This would not have been possible without Sam H. He was always really patient and has taught me how to be a safe driver. I can only give positive feedback and can’t recommend you guys enough! Thank you!
Really great to hear your thoughtful feedback. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Hi I'm a 65 year old Asian woman and recently emigrated to Australia. I wanted to get an Australian driver's licence after driving overseas for more than 40 years. I took several lessons with Sam H [can't spell his last name] and under his expert tutelage, managed to pass the test at my second attempt [mind you,, I had accumulated many bad habits over the years!] Kudos to Sam and the team at Drive. Everyone I've met there was extremely professional and friendly, and focused on ensuring the success of their students. Kind regards K C Yong 14 May 2019
Hi KayC, so glad you passed your test with Sam. He really is a great instructor and like you said, so friendly. Thanks so much for taking the time to write the review. All the best from the team at DRIVE.
