I had a great experience with Simon. He made lessons relaxed and enjoyable- and even made driving fun! I gained so much confidence with each lesson. Thank you Simon!

Wahidullah is a brilliant instructor who I would highly recommend to anyone starting out learning to drive.

Wahidullah is deeply responsive to the emotions of his pupils and does brilliantly at mitigating nerves and anxiety in relation to driving. He is a great instructor and helped greatly with passing my test first try :))

Marc is genuinely a fantastic person and instructor, from my first lesson up until now he’s made me feel so comfortable and has always stopped me from getting overconfident and losing focus, I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to pass their driving test!

I had Simon as my instructor and I enjoyed every lesson! He made me feel comfortable and we always had a laugh each lesson. He was always calm and had a positive attitude even when I made mistakes. I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time without all his help!

Waheed has been really nice and absolute professional at his job He has been very patient with me explaining different situations with diagrams on various difficult scenarios we face during our lessons and has helped me build my confidence during my driving lessons.It is because of him that I passed my driving test today in the 1st attempt. I would highly recommend Waheed to anyone who wants to pass their driving test. THANK YOU Waheed 🙏🏻❤️

My experience was amazing! I was taught by Simon, who constantly made me feel comfortable and confident in my driving. I’ve had quite I few instructors over my driving experience but Simon was by far the best and didn’t overcomplicate things. Would definitely recommend.

My experience was amazing! I was taught by Simon, who constantly ensured I was confident and comfortable. He altered the way he taught to match my needs. Never once did I feel like I couldn’t do something. I couldn’t recommend him enough!! He is relaxed and calm, while keeping high standards of teaching. Not only have I learned how to drive, he taught me how to be confident on my own and how to manage distractions and keep focused! I cannot thank you enough Simon!

I did an intensive driving course with Marcio and it was amazing. I learned everything quickly because the teaching was super clear. I then went on to pass my test first time in less than two weeks after the course. I’d highly recommend doing your driving lessons here!

I would 100% recommend James
I passed way sooner than I ever thought and he really helped me with my confidence throughout.
Thankyou James!

Whilst I was initially quite nervous about driving, having never done anything like it before, my instructor Wahid was always incredibly helpful during stressful moments and truly helped me to overcome my nerves around driving. I just passed first time and I am so thankful 😁

Couldn’t recommend James enough. Passed within 3 months, James really helped me believe in myself having severe anxiety but he never gave up hope for me!
Thank you so much James

I had weekly lessons with instructor Waheed, he was such a great teacher by making me feel at ease being new to learning to drive, and boosted my confidence driving safely and independently. Thank you so much for helping me pass my driving test!

I passed my test with the great help of Marcio. He taught me thoroughly, was patient and explained everything so clearly. He was easy to get along with and made driving so positive as an experience. I wouldn’t have been able to be where I am without his help.

I just passed my test today and am so grateful to Simon for teaching me the whole way! I put off learning to drive for a long time due to nerves but i actually enjoyed every minute of it - it was always super calm and comfortable and Simon always taught me at the pace i was comfortable with at the time. I felt like every lesson I was improving and was very confident i was a good enough driver by the time my test came around. I honestly can’t recommend learning to drive with Simon more - I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a positive and supportive experience learning to drive! Thank you so so much!! 👍👍

I just passed my test and wouldn’t have been able to do it without Marc and Simon’s help and support! I had the pleasure of having lessons with both, and they were both incredibly friendly, calm and genuinely wanted the best for me during my experience of learning to drive. Couldn’t recommend more!

Just passed my driving test and couldn’t have done it without Simon’s help - he was calm, helpful, friendly, and went through everything in detail so I could feel as prepared as possible for my test. A massive thank you to him - and I’ll never forget the polo game!

My instructor, Marcio, helped me greatly throughout my time as a learner driver. He was always very patient and gave constructive criticism to allow me to improve my abilities as best as possible.

Reply from Great western driving academy
Alfred was my instructor. He was very helpful and friendly. The lessons were calm and fun. I am recommending Alfred to my friends when they start their learner driver journey.
