Simon was a great instructor! He was very flexible with scheduling, which was a big help given my busy schedule. Even with limited time, Simon made every session count, fitting in a lot of lessons in a short period. His teaching was outstanding—I enjoyed every lesson, learned a lot, and passed my exam on the first try. I highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a driving instructor, whether you're a complete beginner or already have some experience. Truly a 5-star.
Simon came to help me very last minute I was messed around by 2 other instructors local to me and it took Simon to drive an hour and a half to drive to me and back again, from the first lesson Simon taught me a method for parking which was an area I really struggled on, he showed me the best trick and it felt like I’ve been parking for years, the car is absolutely spot on, much better than these brand new cars with electric handbrakes it’s a real car because let’s be honest who is going to get a brand new car for there first car, Thankyou very much for your service Simon would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
Simon is a phenomenal instructor, incredibly calm and cool with a wealth of information. Teaches in a great manner and there's absolutely no pressure when you're in the car with him. Did a block of lessons with him and passed my test first time! Wouldn't use anyone else and would recommend to absolutely everyone.
I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Even at a short notice, he created a space for me to fit in. I am grateful to Simon. He took his time to make sure I understood all I needed to know before my test date and the morning before my date we did a little more practice. I passed at first time, even tho I had a few minus(not any fault of Simon), my aim/goal was achieved. I would recommend Simon anyday anytime.
Waste of time. He had cancelled on 7 of 10 lessons. One time he parked outside my house waited 2 minutes without knocking or sending a text letting me know he’s outside, when I saw him outside as I opened the door he drove away and gave an excuse that I didn’t turn up after 2 minutes, why couldn’t you of knocked or texted me if you can’t wait 2 minutes? He always had fake excuses back to back and often would cancel on me the same day or the night before. When I asked for my money back he then took an extra 50 ish pounds of me as he claimed that when he waited for me counted as a lesson (we had payed for a block of 10 he’s getting paid to wait 2 minutes) it took some more arguing for him to give back half a lessons worth back. I hope Simon sees this and I hope everyone else does too so that he doesn’t have any more involvement in this business. It’s a shame because as a person I didn’t mind him. .
We booked an intensive course with Simon. He is a fantastic instructor, very organised with lesson plans, good sense of humour, very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. My son thoroughly enjoyed every lesson and passed with only 2 minors after 10 days. Would highly recommend. A massive thank you from both mother and son!
Simon is an excellent driving instructor who made learning both effective and fun. His clear instructions and patience made it easy to understand the fundamentals of driving as a whole, and his sense of humor made each lesson enjoyable. I highly recommend Simon for anyone looking to learn to drive in a supportive and entertaining environment.
What a first-class driving Instructor Simon is! He is kind, patient and courteous and humorous. Before my reassessment because of a health condition, I needed to take a few lessons. Simon proved excellent at preparing me for this (it is not a standard driving test) and happily I got through the assessment. Grateful thanks to Simon for the trouble he took and the kindness he showed. I highly recommend him!
I am Hamed, and I wanted to thank Simon once again for his exceptional teaching and patience. With his guidance, today I passed my certification in just five sessions. Simon is highly professional, dedicated, and rigorous yet remarkably kind. I sincerely appreciate all his efforts. Best wishes to him. Hamed Hosseini.
I found Simon through a friend and his availability was great and his teaching was really good I understood his instructions very well and his very chilled and easy to talk to I passed first time with 3 minors and I only had 4 and half hours of lessons I would highly recommend Simon to anyone.
Simon is one of the best driving instructors in Ashford. He made me feel at ease throughout and believed in me even when I got suffered. I wasn't able to accomplish it without him, and he helped me not only with my driving, but also with my overall confidence. I refer him to anyone searching for an instructor since he makes you feel secure and protected. Thank you! Simon.
