About Sam
Innovative Driving Education Academy Trainer

Hi, I am Sam Malik, a fully qualified DVSA Approved Driving Instructor & the founder of Lesson Plus Driving School Nottingham. My school has been recognised as “Best Driving Instructor of East Midlands 2023” and “Regional Best Driving School in 2024”.

My qualifications include MSc in Applied Physics & Materials Science and a Post Graduate Diploma in E-commerce & Computer, allowing me to bring a structured and professional approach to training. I support learners, PDIs & ADIs in achieving their goals and building successful business plans.

My belief is to “Keep Learning & Growing”. Learning is an ongoing process, and growth comes from setting new goals after every achievement and staying focused on continuous improvement.

As an IDEA trainer, I now deliver the Diploma to Teach the Introduction to Driving Education Award (Level 8), designed to help individuals become exceptional driving instructors and enhance their teaching skills.
