Highly recommended"

Deepika Jayaswal - "I cannot recommend SIMON enough! From the very first lesson, he has been incredibly positive, patient, and supportive. As a complete beginner, I was nervous but Simon was ever so patient and great instructor.
His teaching style is clear, professional, and encouraging. He has a great way of making things happen by helping you understand not just how to drive, but how to become a safe and confident driver for future as well.
Thanks to his excellent training and guidance, I passed my driving test on my very first attempt!
A big shout-out to Simon for being such an outstanding driving instructor. If you're looking for someone who is patient, motivating and genuinely invested in passing your test, Simon is the person to choose.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIMON to everyone who wants to learn driving. Thank you so much Simon!"

Wayne was an excellent teacher who gave clear and informative instruction, focusing on my weaknesses as a driver which prepared me thoroughly and gave me confidence for my exam (we did many roundabouts).

Any questions I had he answered fully helping me understand what I should do in the many different situations I faced on the road. Very useful since I’m not originally from the UK.

A good teacher who prepared me well.

I certainly recommend Wayne to other new drivers as well"

Overall, Wayne's teaching allowed me to excel, and I've never had anything to complain about. The lessons were enjoyable and educational. He knew what was right for me to do during the lesson and kept me learning at a pace that kept it interesting and easy to digest.

10/10 driving instructor, would absolutely recommend"

Valentine Foote - "I first came to Wayne a day after my 17th birthday, with basic driving ability and a small amount of road knowledge. We chatted for a while about my prior experiences and then decided - under a watchful eye - that I would be fine with taking the wheel and embarking on our first session. For the majority of our first lesson I was left to drive the way I saw fit, with Wayne frequently offering crucial advice and guidance, as well as reassurance that I was doing the right thing.

His 10+ years as a driving instructor meant that I could be confident that I was in safe hands; and as a new driver, having an instructor who is as knowledgeable as himself put me massively at ease when confronted with new and difficult situations. Each week I was met with a smile and compliments about my previous drive, helping to put me at easy before I’d even switched on the ignition.

I found that having someone who is not only passionate about their job, but is also a kind and friendly person helped me massively during my whole learning experience. I ended up passing my test 1st go, with 10 hours of lessons with Wayne"

Posted 20th January 2025

Izzy Norris - "Wayne is a great instructor and I don’t think I could’ve done this without his calm and collected attitude. He helped me overcome my fear of being behind the wheel, and although I had quite a slow start, I got there in the end!"

Posted 13th January 2025

Molly Risley - "As someone who was highly unmotivated and reluctant to learn to drive, Wayne was a fab instructor to help me get it done. After starting to drive at 17 and then giving up, i decided i wanted to learn a couple years later during my uni holidays. Wayne was fab at adapting to my busy schedule and despite only being home for a couple of months at a time he got me passed super quick and first time. As an instructor Wayne is calm and reassuring but also pushes you to get test ready. Overall had a 10/10 experience with Wayne and second to none Thanks"
