Fantastic experience: Simon is an amazing instructor and is very patient. He communicates well to help you understand wherever you went wrong and helps you to correct it so you’re able to do it independently the next time.

Thanks Cassia. Great result of a first time pass with only 2 minors. Big thanks to your Mum & Dad for the private practice. You had a sound foundation with John your first instructor who had to retire for health reasons so I’m glad I could help you to build on that. Good luck in Uni, see you around :)

Fantastic experience: Simon is a great and friendly instructor, he provided me with all the information and guidance I needed right from the start and helped me really develop as a driver as well as my two of my friends and we all passed first time. He has a professional and calm approach in the car and I find anyone would feel comfortable with him as their instructor. Can have a friendly conversation and would recommend him to anyone looking for lessons.

Daniel Granger 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate enough to have been taught to drive by Si. After having an initial stab at learning and then giving up, he was great with me. He was patient and worked with me to establish the areas I needed to improve, not just to pass my test, but to become a competent and safe driver. I would strongly recommend him to anybody wanting to learn to drive, whether they be a complete beginner or having another go at it like myself.

Thanks for the Review Dan and thanks again for your patience and understanding with all the delays we encountered due to Covid, from me not being able to teach due to restrictions and that time you logged on to book your test and there was 200,000 in front of you in the queue…..you stuck with it and got a fantastic result on test day. Keep safe, see you around.

H 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started with Si many years ago and due to my own personal circumstances I had to put my driving journey on hold in 2019. I came back to Si in May 2021, luckily Si made the time to fit me into his very busy schedule, I booked my test in June for the November and had lessons in between this time. Si has been very understanding with any situations I have had as finding lesson time wasn't always the easiest with training to be a teacher. He has gone above and beyond to support me through my driving journey and I couldn't have done it without him. Thank you so much for everything you have done and for putting up with my many meltdowns . Although, this review could not do the justice Si deserves, he is a fantastic instructor and I could not fault him in any way. Thank you once again Si for everything you have done.

Thanks for the Review Hannah. It has been great teaching you and we had more laughs than meltdowns Big thanks also to your Parents and your Olly for the private practice you had away from your lessons that helped you no end to put into practice any skills that needed working on. They helped massively. Good luck in your new career and see you on the road.
