‘I had a blast learning to drive with Simon, even if the lockdowns made it feel much longer. I started lessons anxious to drive but Simon was very patient, reassuring and gave me the confidence I needed to get behind the wheel. Not only did I feel really well prepared for the test but for afterwards too, driving in the ‘real world’ on your own which can be a huge leap if you have not been prepared for it.  You hear many stories of unfriendly instructors who don’t have confidence in their pupils but Simon was not like this at all and I would absolutely recommend his lessons!

Whether you’re a beginner, nervous to start, or have some experience under your belt, Simon will take you under his wing and make sure to assist you in becoming a confident and competent driver and I can’t recommend him enough.’

‘Simon is truly an amazing driving instructor. He is always calm and will talk you through all aspects of your driving. Though he is a perfectionist, it’s a very good thing and, I believe, produces the best, safest drivers. Thank you so much Simon for guiding me through this process, especially in these strange times.’

‘Learning to drive with Simon was very enjoyable for me. His feedback on my driving was extremely helpful as it made me understand why my actions were good and bad and also made me aware of bad habits before I continued doing them. He was always there to answer any questions, both in and out of lessons, which boosted my confidence in my decision making out on the roads. I would thoroughly recommend his tuition to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor’

‘Yesterday (16th September) I qualified as an ADI. When I started my training I met Simon on a course about the new Standards Check/Part 3 exam. He was local to me and my tutor (my husband) and he had often seen our tuition vehicle around. Simon offered to let me sit in on some of his lessons and what an amazing instructor he is! So approachable with a friendly teaching style. I learned so much from him and I’ve incorporated some of his hints and tips into my own lessons. Since then we have recommended him when we haven’t been able to take a pupil on or they are nearer to Farnham. Thank you Simon for being part of my learning process and I’m sure we will see you soon!’
– Pamela (September 2019)

– James (November 2017)
‘A month ago I passed my driving test, first time, thanks to Simon. Since then, because of work, I’ve spent the last few weeks driving at all times of day and night up and down the M25 and in London … and loving it! There is absolutely no way I would have been a confident and safe enough driver to do this had I not learnt with such a patient, calm and thorough instructor. Simon is a fun, encouraging and very knowledgeable teacher who tailors each lesson to suit you – challenging you enough to guarantee confident progress but always keeping you safe and relaxed in the car. He even helped me with my theory, giving me free access to Theory Test Pro. He is also a lovely and friendly person, we would always have a laugh which always made me feel relaxed and confident even if we were working on something more difficult. If you want the best instructor in the area … I cannot recommend Simon enough to you!’

– Fergus (October 2017)

‘Having previously learnt with a different instructor driving was something I found scary and daunting. Simon made driving become enjoyable and now I feel so confident behind the wheel. I couldn’t recommend him enough to any learner. He makes you feel relaxed and confident in your abilities whilst teaching you everything you need to know to be a good, safe driver. I can’t thank you enough Simon!’
– Laura (September 2017)
