We offer manual and automatic driving lessons in Merseyside. We are a small but expanding driving school that trains its own driving instructors at our training facility in the north of Liverpool.

Hi Jemma Louise, Paul has not done any driving lessons for over 6 weeks as his work schedule is all over the place and has had to stop driving lessons, he has also changed his phone number. The driving school closed down 3 weeks ago also as you can see on google maps and also no social media pages are present.

Massive thank you to Simon who guided me every step of the way during my driving journey.

I passed today in Speke thanks to Simon, after 17 hours of lessons I was ready for my test. Although I haven’t had many instructors, I would 100% recommend Simon to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

He was patient, calm and taught me the safest way to drive on the roads. Every lesson was something new to learn, as well as having a laugh at the same time.

Thank you Simon once again, I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me! You are boss.

Unprofessional

I had a terrible experience with this driving school, especially with Susan on the day of my test. She refused to let me take my test minutes before it was scheduled, causing me to lose my test fee.

Leading up to the test, she gave mixed signals about my readiness but eventually agreed I should go ahead. However, at the test centre, she suddenly changed her mind, leaving me no time to reschedule or get a refund. During the lesson before the test, she raised her voice over small mistakes and made me feel incredibly anxious. Her harsh criticism and unprofessional comments, like not wanting her car to "come back in pieces," were unnecessary. I have never damaged or scratched her car, and she has hardly ever needed to press the brakes while I was driving.

This unprofessional behavior caused me unnecessary stress and financial loss. I cannot recommend this school based on my experience.

Hi Hiba,

We have spoken to Susan about this and she can confirm that she discussed a driving test with yourself for a future date, but on the agreement that unless you fix all of your serious driving faults that you kept consistantly doing, then you would not be taking a driving test. upon booking a driving test, you then used a cancellation app to bring this driving test to an earlier date and without fixing all the faults that would fail a driving test.

On the day of your driving test you had only completed 14 hours of driving lessons, from the point of starting your driving lesson on the drive to the test centre in Speke you committed a number of serious driving faults. On one occaision Susan had to take control of the steering wheel and on a further two occaisions had to use the dual controls to prevent serious accidents.

Upon arrival to the driving test centre you were physically shaking as you were not ready to take a driving test, it is for the reason that Susan refused to allow your driving test to go ahead in the interest of public safety.

We understand this is upsetting, but in order to pass a driving test you should be able to control a vehicle without any help and be able to navigate the varying road and traffic conditions on your own without assistance either following verbal directions, reading road signs or following a sat nav. The drive there proves that Susan made the correct decision and did not allow the driving test to go ahead.

Regards

Thank you Simon

I can’t thank Simon enough for helping me pass my driving test on my second attempt! Simon is an outstanding instructor who really goes above and beyond to make sure his students feel confident and fully prepared. From day one, he was patient, professional, and incredibly encouraging, which helped ease my nerves and kept me motivated throughout my lessons.

Simon’s teaching style is thorough yet relaxed; he’s great at breaking down even the trickiest maneuvers in a way that makes them easy to understand. He always took the time to answer my questions and give constructive feedback, making sure I felt more comfortable and in control with every lesson. His experience and calm demeanor made a huge difference, especially on test day.

If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success and knows exactly how to get you there, I can’t recommend Simon enough. Thanks to him, I’m now a confident driver, and I’m so grateful for his guidance and support.

I had my lessons with Simon and I couldn’t recommend a better instructor to learn with. After failing twice I swapped over to Simon who gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test. The way he taught was so refreshing I couldn’t recommend him more. After just 10 lessons I passed!

great experience!

Had a great experience driving with Simon! After two years and two failed tests he helped me pass in a month. Really nice to talk with and to keep me reassured with my driving, far better than any other instructor I’ve had!
Would definitely reccomend!🌟

Had taken a 2 year break from driving lessons after failing 6 times with another company because I was so nervous on tests. Passed first time after 13 lessons with Simon. He was really laid back, gave me the confidence I needed.

The best automatic driving instructor around

Had my automatic driving lessons with Simon, and I can honestly say that he is the best instructor to do your lessons with. After many driving test attempts and failing each time due to severe nervousness during driving tests I soon lost hope in any chance of me passing at all. Simon was patient and encouraged me throughout my lessons and after each test, all the way to the end where I finally passed today ! Many thanks to Simon and would highly recommend anyone to him for auto driving lessons.
