Excel School Of Motoring: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Absolute legend the best instructor i could get for any money he made learning to drive fun very professional and have referred him to all my friends couldn’t have asked for anyone better thanks to him i passed first time!
Fantastic experience: Simon is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. He is super cool calm and collected, he pushes you when necessary but is very clear, articulate and precise when explaining and teaching. He always listens and the driving lessons in a lot cases felt more like a collaboration. He made me feel at ease and relaxed Great instructor, 100% would recommend him to anyone. I passed first try with his guidance.
Fantastic experience: Simon was a fantastic instructor and I really enjoyed learning to drive with him
Fantastic experience: Passed first time thanks to Simon, a great guy as well as instructor. He’s clear with what you go through each lesson and keeps you progressing all the time. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Passed first time thanks to Simon has a very calm manor but also knows when to be serious to help iron out any mistakes great person he’s very helpful and understanding would highly recommend for anyone looking to start there driving journey
Fantastic experience: I've got a great experience with Simon. Not only he is an outstanding driving instruction but also, and for me this is even more important, a remarkable person. Never forget my first lesson with him. Simon made me feel so on ease, comfortable and confident and then positive things just started to happen to me naturally. I consider myself lucky to be one of his students and will always remember and appreciate his time, patience, experience and energy he shared with me during our time together..
Fantastic experience: Simon is an absolute gem, a truly excellent, professional and thorough driving instructor who taught both myself and my brother… we both passed first time. We cannot thank you enough Simon, see you on the road!
Fantastic experience: Simon really is a top class instructor. I’d had another instructor prior who I wasn’t quite happy with and it was clear from the first lesson that Simon was world’s apart. Explains things in a really clear way - happy to say I passed my test with only 3 minors! I’d definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I switched to Simon after a bad experience with another instructor. With only 3 weeks left before the test and feeling unprepared, I improved significantly in the lessons with him. He's a reliable and friendly character with a great music taste Thanks Simon
Fantastic experience: Simon was a very reliable and comforting instructor. His clear cut visuals and explanations for manoeuvres and new situations always made me felt at ease and as confident as I could be. His humour and likability always made the 2 hours fly by but still filled with knowledge and technique making me extremely sure in my ability which in the end paid off with passing first time with 2 minors. Even on the day of the test he made me feel like this was just another lesson and made me feel completely entrusted in the mass amounts of skill he had taught me. I would personally recommend to everyone. Thank you very much Simon
Fantastic experience: Simon’s reviews pretty much speak for themselves. He is indeed a very calm, prepared and thorough instructor with a very positive attitude and clear learning and progress schedule. Differently from most driving experiences, mine has been full of ups and downs but Simon has always stuck by my side. I started my driving lessons with two different driving schools before reaching out to Simon. I told him about my previous experience and he still decided to give me a chance. It turns out my driving was great, I was just a bit of a rough diamond! Simon not only allowed me to correct my mistakes and learn more about driving but he also always checked how I was doing and knew when I needed a little breathing room and when was a good time to challenge my driving. After this long journey, I have finally passed my test at a perfect time! All of this to say that if you are the eager teenager who cannot wait for the freedom of driving, the single mum with a busy schedule or even the older driver who takes a bit of time to learn, just call Simon, you won’t regret it! Thank you Simone for your help with my driving journey, it was lovely meeting you! :)
Fantastic experience: All thanks to simon is passed first time. Simon is a great guy who keeps the lessons entertaining while still being professional and focusing on the skills
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor and great teacher, got me to pass with only 1 minor, Thanks Simon!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test today with only 3 minors thanks to Simon! He is a thorough and brilliant instructor, as well as a kind and enjoyable person to be around. His instruction is clear and effective, and he offers encouragement and support to help with driving confidence wherever needed. He is also flexible and accommodating with lesson timings which is very helpful! It has been a pleasure to learn with him and I would definitely recommend him to any friends and family of mine in future. Thank you Simon!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time all thanks to Simon! Fantastic instructor and a great guy! I’d been taking lessons with another instructor before but they were fairly irregular and struggled to prepare for the test! Simon was very reliable but flexible when needed. Instructions and feedback were always clear so I knew what to focus on! Lessons were structured to make sure we covered everything for the test as well as being confident on the road! I’d thoroughly recommend Simon and my younger brother is hoping to start lessons soon! Thank you so much Simon! I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, Cat
Fantastic experience: Absolutely cannot fault the learning experience and test prep I’ve had through Excel, specially learning with Simon. Really flexible, super supportive and a massive confidence boost! Thank you for all your support and help Simon, couldn’t have done it without you!
Fantastic experience: Just passed yesterday with 3 minors! Simon has been an excellent instructor - he is very experienced and can teach anyone to become a confident and safe driver. Each lesson was tailored individually to make progress and served a direct purpose. He is an absolute gentleman and I would recommend him to anyone looking to pass their driving test. Thanks for the lessons Simon!
Fantastic experience: Simon is the best instructor I’ve had really helped me, only had a few lessons with him and I passed after failing twice previously
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor, ten out of ten service. Passed first time with him!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Simon I passed my driving test 1st time after 5 months He has been a great instructor, clearly knows everything there is to know about driving & I always felt confident we were moving in the right direction. We had a laugh at times, but he also has a direct no-nonsense approach when it’s needed which helped us stay on track. Thank you Simon, I can’t wait to get out driving on my own now I’ve passed!!
Fantastic experience: Had lessons with Simon and passed my test first time. Worth every penny!

Cheers Elvis, good job on passing fella!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Simon everything over the past year, I was able to pass both my theory and practical driving test first time! I would recommend Simon as he teaches not just how to pass your test, but how to drive for life!
To be fair I havent seen determination to succeed as you showed in every lesson Sophie, you wouldnt let any dips beat you, I take my hat off to you! All the best to Katie and family
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Simon and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Simon was patient, understanding, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He has a wealth of knowledge about driving and was able to clearly explain concepts and techniques in a way that was easy for me to understand and implement. Simon was also flexible in terms of scheduling, which was a huge plus for me as I have a busy schedule with university life. He always arrived on time and was reliable in every sense of the word. Overall, I highly recommend Simon as a driving instructor. Simon has the expertise and dedication to help you succeed. Thank you, Simon, for everything!
Charlie, youre a diamond and I enjoyed the conversations during your training, very stimulating, and humourous at times ; It was your focus and dedication that got you the success you deserved, well done!
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor, very good response. Extremely happy. Thank you
Thanks for your review Adam, And good stuff on your pass plus fella!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Simon for the driving lessons and help passing my driving test! Simon is friendly and helped me feel relaxed and confident about my driving test. He is also very accommodating about organising lessons around a busy schedule. Would recommend!
Excellent stuff Harriet, hope you are in charge of your own car now and you have your own parking spot at the hospital. Wish you the best!
Fantastic experience: I’m writing this on behalf of my partner Connor, who spent several weeks with Simon gaining the skills he needed to pass his test. After completing a few sessions with a different instructor Connor decided he needed to find a new instructor and was so pleased when we found Simon at Excel School of Motoring. Simon was patient, kind and made driving an enjoyable experience for Connor. He would often come back home and tell me how happy he was with how the sessions with Simon went, especially in comparison to his previous instructor. After a short amount of time Connor passed his test, without Simon this would not have been possible. Highly recommend using the Excel School Of Motoring for your driving lessons. A big thank you to Simon!
Wow, thank you very much for your review, Im so glad Connor enjoyed learning and obviously reaching the ultimate goal. I will contact him personally but wish to also thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review.
Fantastic experience: Good experience and great teaching from Simon, able to pass my test on the first time, highly recommended and freedom ahead.
Well done today Jenson, your hard graft paid off.
Fantastic experience: I'm so pleased I chose Excel (Simon) for my lessons. He was calm and patient as I was a very nervous learner. I passed much sooner than I could of ever expected and I'm feeling really confident to get out on the road on my own now. Thank you Simon.
Thank you for taking the time to write Yasmin, all the best!
Fantastic experience: 5 Star for this top geezer Simon your amazing mate, he helped me pass with only two weeks till my test. Would recommend him to everyone he is the driving instructor you need!

It feels good to get things right, cheers
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my driving test first time after taking lessons with Simon and I couldn't be more pleased. I was really anxious about driving but Simon has so much patience. Very professional and excellent sence of humor. Fully recommend.
Thank you Elena, it's been a great journey all thanks to you focus & dedication. Well done.
Fantastic experience: Simon is a great instructor. He genuinely cares, pushes you when you need it, doesn't hold your hand when you don't need it, gives you confidence to drive on your own and is a friendly person to talk to too - recommend! Passed first time with one minor.
Thanks Vithu, I look forward to meeting you on the road...Happy motoring!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time! Simon it's the best instructor ever! I would highly recommend him!
Thanks for your review , look forward to seeing you on the road !
Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor around. Simon made me feel so comfortable when having my lessons and really went through each lesson in depth! Simon is so friendly, and even on my first lesson when I was so nervous Simon was so welcoming and made me feel relaxed and he’s such a nice person to be around! He made driving lessons enjoyable and I can’t thank him enough! Simon helped me in each part of driving and went back to parts I was unsure of. Had such a good experience and can’t recommend enough!
Thanks very much for leaving your review Ellie, it was an absolute pleasure training you to drive, and always knew success was coming your way! All the best.
Fantastic experience: Simon was an excellent teacher - clear guidance, very patient, and also funny. Managed to pass first time thanks to his lessons.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Nikolaj, much appreciated !
Fantastic experience: Passed first time thanks to Simon's quality lessons! Simon explained every manoeuvre with crystal clear clarity with his illustrations and at no point did i ever feel nervous because Simon made me feel confident amd ready for anything. Simon was a great person to be in the car with, making every lesson fun and useful! I had a great time learning to drive with Simon and will miss my weekly lessons! Thank you very much, Joe
No thank you very much for taking time to leave a review Joe. Moreso , your words are very flattering, I have to watch my head doesn't get too big to leave the car. All the best for the future esp getting that very sought after pilots licence in the forces, which I'm positive you'll get.
Fantastic experience: Simon is a brilliant teacher, he gave me great confidence in driving after having given driving a break for a few years! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better teacher! He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed the entire time and is a great person to be around! The best thing about learning with Simon, is that he teaches you how to drive, instead of just how to pass on a test route; which I will forever be greatful for! I would 100% reccomend!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cheers Holly, you're an absolute diamond, I wish there are more people like you about. Training you was an absolute pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Passed my first test and with only one minor!! Simon is very relaxed and fun at the same time. He knows when to push you and when to take it slow Perfect balance of enjoying the process of learning while still professional and focus on the skills. There’s a reason we pay instructors to teach us. I felt very ready and confident for my test because Simon wouldn’t have let me go if he didn’t think I was ready. Of course a bit nervous which is healthy but I knew I would do well, all thanks to the expert help from Simon!
Wow great review, thanks Marcus and wish you all the best fella!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience. Simon made me feel comfortable and at ease as soon as I got in the car. Couldn't ask for any better.

Fantastic experience: Having fallen behind due to lockdown and Covid on my lessons Simon caught me up very quickly. His lessons were simple and easy to understand. He broke down my mistakes, explained what I did wrong clearly and made me redo the maneuveres so that I really learnt from my mistakes. Overall I highly recommend Simon.
Cheers Rafid. All the best fella
Fantastic experience: I had a couple of refresher lessons with Simon and they were great, giving me confidence to get back behind the wheel after 10 years not driving. Made the world of difference and I would definitely recommend Simon!

Fantastic experience: Did an intense driving course with Simon, can not fault him. Brilliant instructor who can explain and demonstrate the principals of driving perfectly. If you have taken the time to read his reviews then just book him today. Absolutely fantastic driving instructor and a genuine down to earth top guy. Very happy to of had the pleasure of learning to drive with him.
Thanks very much for your kind words Alex
Fantastic experience: Simon is a great instructor who has good patience, being helpful in not only pointing out where you went wrong but also what to do next time. He helped me to pass first time and gave me full confidence to go out on the road by myself.
Thank you for your review Marcus, and I look forward to seeing you playing the premiership in the not to distant future!
Fantastic experience: Simon is a very helpful and confident instructor with his help I was able to pass my practical test first time, definitely recommend .
Nice one Seb, and thanks for recommending Ben onto me, he's progressing well.
Fantastic experience: Simon was an absolute godsend, no doubt about it. I started learning to drive with another instructor, who was hopeless. But when I had my first lesson with Simon, it was obvious straight away that he was in another league altogether. He was really thorough, systematic and businesslike, and is also just an exceptionally nice guy. The hallmark of a good teacher is when you realise as the years go by (and it’s now five years since I passed my test) that the instruction you received stands up well over time. That’s definitely the case here – I conscious every time that I get in the car of how well he set me up. Recommended very strongly!
Thanks very much for your review and recommendation Ed, hope you are keeping well.
Fantastic experience: Simon is the best driving teacher I’ve ever met. He is patient and humorus. I was very afraid of driving in UK, but thanks to his lesson I can drive with more confidence. Strongly recommend!
Jungin, really chuffed (pleased) to see you driving the kids to and from school confidently !
Fantastic experience: Simon was an excellent driving instructor, couldn't recommend him enough!
Thank you Kate, I look forward to seeing you on the road, all the best at Uni !

Fantastic experience: Simon is awesome. He makes learning simple and supports you through ever stage of your journey. Simon has a wealth of experience and knows how to motivate his learners to not only pass.... but be good drivers! Definitely recommend excel school of motoring.... you won’t be disappointed.
Cheers Farhan, it's been an absolute pleasure, all the best for your future!
Fantastic experience: As a mature learner I was very nervous about getting into a car at first, but with Simon’s patience and training techniques I was over the moon when I passed my test. I now drive everywhere and also regard him as a family friend. I have already recommended him to family members and friends!
Cheers Ella!
Fantastic experience: Simon was the best instructor I’ve had, first time pass after completing a one-week intensive course.
Best wishes with the masters and life in America Jack!
Fantastic experience: Simon was a great driving instructor, taking me from being worried about getting into a car, to passing 1st time 2 and a bit months later! Definitely recommend!
Well done today and thank you for the recommendation Lara.
Fantastic experience: Simon taught me to drive with an intensive course and I hadn’t even started up a car let alone sat in a drivers seat!! He is an amazing friendly guy who puts your mind at ease on the days you don’t feel as confident. I managed to secure a first time pass and it’s changed mine and my children’s lives for the better. Even had confidence to drive to seaside within a month of passing. Thanks Simon. Highly recommend you to everyone x
Thanks Clare, hope you and the girls are doing well....good times ahead!
Fantastic experience: A 5 star review is a must for this company. Which was due to having Simon as an instructor. I was a bit nervous stepping into the car for the first time. But with Simon's friendly ways and easy techniques I was very quickly eased into driving. Making me feel very comfortable and a few months later passing first time. He is very easy to get on with which helped out a lot. Thank you for all your efforts, I will highly recommend.
Thanks Luke, you deserved the first time pass, enjoy many years of driving!
Fantastic experience: Was a little worried before starting my course, but it didn't take long for Simon to put things in away that helped me relax and thrive during the course. Passed first time with flying colours. Highly recommend. Thanks heaps Simon.
You're welcome Ben, be well fella!
Fantastic experience: The instructor Simon is a brilliant teacher he teaches in ways that are best suited for you he’s really patient and generally a really friendly guy
A pass with flying colours, only 2 minor faults - well done George.
Fantastic experience: Best driving experience! Passed within 2 weeks on a 20h course and I couldn’t be happier. Simon was positive and believed in me, which gave me the confidence to give everything a go with no hesitation. He teaches you how to pass your test, how to drive safely and confidently whilst having fun. I really reccomend excel driving school of motoring, his aim is to get you to pass and that’s exactly what he did and first time as well!
You star Kathryn , it was a very intensive course but made easier with your great attitude and desire to get it right - hope you're still enjoying your car and driving .
