Fantastic experience: Cant recommended a better driving instructor, Simon was constantly improving my driving with each lesson we had, an all around great guy with an even better sense of humor. Lessons were a treat rather than a chore. Thankyou mate.
Cheers Chris, at least someone appreciates my jokes ;)
See you on the road mate.
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.
Thanks Emma, a great result of a first time pass with only a few minors.
Fantastic experience: Although I could already somewhat drive before I started having lessons, Si helped me to develop my driving and ensure that I could pass the driving test by teaching me manoeuvres, etc. I would definitely recommend.
Thanks Nathan. A fantastic result of a 1st time pass with no minor faults. A great achievement thanks mostly to all the private practice you had with your family. Glad I was able to guide you with the basic driving, manoeuvres and the mock tests we did.
Fantastic experience: Simon’s friendly manner and clear instruction made my driving lessons enjoyable. I quickly progressed from a novice driver to become comfortable driving long distances. I found the practice tests very helpful and they prepared me for my test. I would recommend Simon to any new driver.
Thanks Hannah, I great result of a 1st time pass which was helped greatly by all the private practice you had with your family. Keep safe & see you on the road :)
Fantastic experience: Simon Rhodes was a brilliant driving instructor he was a helpful, supportive and reliable teacher who was willing to answer any questions that I asked. Although I wasn't the fastest of learners he was always patient with me and helped me to identify the cuase of any of my mistakes. He made sure that I was safe and confident when driving. I highly recommend Simon Rhodes for any future drivers. A fantastic teacher!

Fantastic experience: Si is a brilliant instructor he’s very patient and makes you feel comfortable whilst on lessons. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand and gave me confidence to pass my test. He’s easy to communicate with out of lessons and I would highly recommend him to everybody.
Cheers Jamie and thanks for being a reliable student who is willing to learn and ask questions.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend him enough, especially if you’re nervous about driving. He is calm and patient. Learning throughout the whole lockdown periods was tough but Si is amazing - A great instructor!
Thanks Meg. it’s certainly been a Journey with the lockdowns delaying everything. A fantastic result of a 1st time pass with only 2 minors, a result you can justifiably be very proud of.
Fantastic experience: Ace instructor. Really good at explaining the how’s and whys. Had on and off lessons due to the pandemic and still managed to pass first time. Best in Bolton.
Cheers Rhys. It’s been a journey with all the delays due to Covid, but a fantastic result of a 1st time pass with only 2 minors. Thanks also to your family for the private practice that really helped whilst you were waiting ages for the test day.
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.
Fantastic experience: Good instructor. I started as a complete beginner and passed for the first time. 100% recommend.
Thanks Chloe, a great result of a first time pass after all the delays with Covid. Thanks to you family for the private practice in your car. See you around.
Fantastic experience: Great guy easy to understand and to work with. Would Recommend to anyone beginnier or not.
Thanks mate. A fantastic result of a 1st time pass with only 2 minor faults. All the best in your new career.
Fantastic experience: great instructor, would recommend, started as a complete beginner, passed my test first time with one minor.
Thanks Rohan, a great result on Test Day and thanks for being a reliable student.
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.
Fantastic experience: I have had driving lessons on and off with Simon for a couple of years due to my own circumstances, stopping and starting . Simon had passed nearly all my family and finally I did too today' after sticking to it this time, thanks for supporting me and helping with all lessons, couldn't have passed it without you , brilliant, professional instructor
* review was by Danielle but it’s come through on her Son’s Google Account.
Thanks for the review Dani. It’s been great teaching you over the years and I know how much having a Full Licence is going to make things so much easier and better for your Family & Yourself. Thanks also to your Mum, Dad & Chloe for the private practice you had between our lessons. See you on the road :)
Fantastic experience: Started with Si at the beginning of 2020. Had me ready for my test within 3 months only to be set back by covid for 18 months. Was brilliant from start to finish. Even with the delays passed first time thanks to si.
Thanks for the review Cameron. It was a great result you passing 1st time after having the test postponed 4 times due to Covid. Keep safe mate.
