  Highly recommend Sam Ali for driving lessons. I have taken a few refresher sessions with him in an automatic car. Sam is super friendly, easy to talk to, and extremely informative. He is helping me slowly regain my confidence on the road.

  Amazing! So thorough in their teaching, learned so much from Sally. As a student I know have the technical knowledge and skills needed for driving, gained from two hour ten lesson blocks, I didn't necessarily have before starting at Pass2Success!

  I had my first lesson with Sam Ali today in Great Barr. I’ve already had a few driving lessons with other instructors, but I honestly felt that Sam ali really took the time to identify my mistakes and explain them clearly to me. This helped me understand exactly what I was doing wrong and, more importantly, how to improve.

He also gave me plenty of opportunities to practise the areas I was struggling with, which really helped build my confidence. I really appreciated his patience, clear explanations and the way he made sure I understood my mistakes rather than just pointing them out.

I would 💯 recommend Sam Ali to anyone looking for a patient, supportive and knowledgeable driving instructor! 🚗⭐

  “I’ve just completed my first driving lesson with Sam Ali, and I’m really pleased with the experience. As a learner driver based in Great Barr, I was looking for a patient and professional driving instructor who could help me feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning.

My first lesson took place around Kingstanding, and Sam explained everything clearly and calmly. He was friendly, encouraging and gave me useful feedback throughout the lesson, which made learning to drive feel much less daunting.

If you’re looking for driving lessons in Great Barr or Kingstanding, I would definitely recommend Sam Ali. He is a professional, patient and supportive driving instructor, and I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons and building my driving skills and confidence.
