Godwins Driving School

Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! I struggle with ADHD and anxiety, and when I first reached out to Simon, I was extremely nervous—so much so that I couldn’t even drive over 10mph after being involved in an accident the year before. I was initially skeptical due to previous experiences with bad driving instructors, but from the very start, Simon’s patience and support helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. He genuinely took the time to understand how my mental health affects me, ensuring he could teach me in the best way possible. Even when I started to panic, he was always reassuring, reminding me to believe in myself and gently pushing me out of my comfort zone. Thanks to his guidance, I not only gained confidence in driving but also in everyday life. I truly can’t thank him enough, and I’m going to miss our lessons!

Fantastic experience: Simon was an excellent driving instructor. He makes sure you do not only feel test ready but also like a confident and safe driver for when you will eventually be driving on your own. Many of the things Simon taught me I have found very useful in my own driving and will hold onto for life. Simon cares about his students and has helped me and my sister pass our driving test first time, I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend more highly and my experience learning with Simon was nothing short of exceptional. Having previously had a terrible time with a previous instructor, Simon helped me regain my confidence in my ability to drive and I would actually look forward to our weekly lessons! Simons approach to learning emphasises thorough understanding of theory first, via various resources like video examples and a comprehensive information pack, which I found very engaging and useful when putting into practice. Simons prior experience as a former advanced police driver shines through with his superior road knowledge as he encourages safe but practical driving that is useful well beyond the test date. He has an extremely professional, polite and kind attitude and demonstrated multiple times his dedication to his students and to his profession. I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody looking for lessons and am certain you will not find a better instructor.

Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Simon without having any prior driving experience. He helped me to build up my confidence and driving skills. Simon clearly understands what needs to be taught to become a safe driver. Any mistakes that I had were clearly explained. I enjoyed lessons with him and now I have a full confidence in my driving skills. So, if you want to have your driving lessons not just to pass your test, but to become a really good driver - Simon is your number one option.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Simon highly enough. Thanks to his highly professional guidance and clear instructions, I passed my driving test today. From day one, he was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. What really stood out was how he highlighted key things to look out for on the road and how to deal with developing situations, which boosted my confidence and awareness. He is very easy to get along with and his calm, supportive approach really helped me develop into a safer driver. If you're looking for a top-notch driving instructor who genuinely cares about your success, Simon is the best instructor out there.
