Been off the road for a while? Refresher lessons help you rebuild your confidence and sharpen your skills at your own pace — no pressure, no judgement.

"I started out as a very nervous driver, but thanks to Simon's calm demeanour and excellent teaching style, I relaxed very quickly. He explains everything with ease and is always happy to answer any questions. After around 50 hours of lessons, I passed my driving test! Thank you so much, Simon!"
— Janice Manser
★★★★★
"I passed my driving test today and couldn't have done it without him. He is incredibly patient, calm, and supportive, which made a huge difference to my confidence behind the wheel. If you are looking for an amazing instructor, look no further than Simon!"

"Couldn't recommend Simon enough! He was great from the start — super patient and made me feel so much less anxious about my driving and helped me pass first time!"
— Ellie Doyle
★★★★★
"Simon is amazing and patient, he teaches you so well and explains things clearly, he doesn't rush you. After having two instructors before Simon I was just driving around and wasn't taught much. Learnt so much with Simon and enjoyed every lesson."
— Shoana Farman
★★★★★
"As a nervous driver that didn't pass my first test, I was anxious about changing instructors, but Simon was super patient, kind, and helped me overcome my fears about driving. We worked on the areas I was anxious about in every lesson and he kept me calm and safe on the roads. I could not have had a better driving instructor to help me pass."
— Sophie Jarnefjord
★★★★★
"I would really recommend Simon if you are looking to learn to drive. He was calm, explained things in lots of detail and never made a mistake a big deal. I was able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly and you can tell he really wants his students to pass and cares about the outcome. Passed first time with all his help — thank you again!"
— Gaby Delahunty
