Simon is a brilliant driving instructor - he was calm, never shouted (like previous instructors) and was always pleasant to talk to. I passed first time with him, and would recommend him greatly to anyone who s a bit uncertain of driving, have had a negative experience in the past, or are just ready to complete their test with the most up to date knowledge. I looked forward to every lesson, and can t thank him enough!

About Simon
Hi, I'm Simon. I've been teaching people to drive around Milton Keynes for many years now, and I still love it. My approach is all about keeping things calm and relaxed, so you never have to worry about me shouting or getting frustrated. I want you to feel comfortable from the very first lesson, and I'll always work at your own pace, whether you're a bit nervous or just ready to get on with it.
I've got a really good track record, with an 83.33% first-time pass rate, and loads of my students have passed with me. They often say I'm patient, friendly, and good at explaining things clearly. I teach in a VW Polo, which is a great little car to learn in, and I know all the test routes in Bletchley really well. My main goal is to make sure you're a safe driver for life, not just to pass your test, so I focus on helping you think for yourself on the road.
If you're thinking about learning to drive, I'd recommend booking two-hour lessons if you can, as they're more productive and cost less per hour. I also offer discounts for block bookings, which can save you some money. I'm based in Milton Keynes and cover the local area, so get in touch if you'd like to chat about starting your lessons.

Highly recommended. I had a pretty tough experience learning to drive, but changed instructors and that made a world of difference . Simon is a fantastic instructor, very good at understanding a learners perspective and adapting his training to suit their needs, has a wealth of experience that is imperative to anyone learning to drive. Highly recommended
PASSED 1ST TIME. Simon is a great instructor made me feel very comfortable from the first day, he taught me very well and always took into account the best way that I learnt. He taught me at my own pace didn't rush me or go to slow as i wanted to pass my test fairly quickly, so we didn t waste any time. Definitely recommend Simon as he is great at what he does!!!
I passed with Simon, Very good instructor made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to learn at my own pace, having heard bad reviews from my friends about their instructors I felt worried that I might have ended up in the same situation however Simon helped me to pass my driving test with ease. Simon has made me the safe driver I am today and for that I can t thank him enough. I would highly recommend.
Highly recommend Simon. After months of getting nowhere and my confidence shot to pieces, I started having lessons with Simon and I'm so glad I did. The most patience, understanding and helpful instructor I've ever met! I love driving now and if it wasn't for Simon I know I would still be having lessons. Highly recommend!
Would highly recommend Simon as an instructor. Very friendly, excellent teaching skills and made me (a very nervous driver) feel comfortable and capable whilst driving.
