Godwins Driving School

The best driving instructor you can get!I had several driving lessons with Simon as I took my driving license 5 years ago in an European country and never drove since. It was to get back on the road, learn to drive on the 'other side of the road', and to gain confidence. Simon is a very experienced driving instructor, patient, professional and he encourages his students when needed. He has a positive attitude and he's honest with your driving progress. You can see he likes his job by giving you lots of safety tips which he learned during his job in the police.Thank you Simon!

Simon has been a fantastic driving instructor and I’m so grateful for the time and effort he has given me. I passed my test today after having failed previously with different instructors in the past. Simon genuinely loves what he does and has his students best interests at heart and prioritises their learning. He has taught me incredibly well and has allowed me to become a safe and competent driver and has believed in me from the very start. Simon is friendly, approachable and patient with teaching being his number 1 priority. A huge thank you to Simon for sticking by me, I couldn’t have done it without you.

I passed with Simon after having previously tried to learn with a family member and cannot recommend him enough! His detailed, thorough approach to teaching really helped me rebuild my confidence after a while off the road.Beyond being a thorough instructor, he is also a truly great, understanding, and honest guy who has been a pleasure to learn with.I can't fault a single aspect of my experience learning to drive with him, a 5* review doesn't feel like it does him justice. Thank you Simon and all the best!

Simon is hands down the best driving instructor ever! I put off driving for so long because I lacked the confidence of getting behind the wheel but can honestly say I couldn't have passed without his support and guidance. Simon always put my best interests at heart and made every lesson fun & memorable. He built up my confidence and it made me really enjoy driving. Although the pandemic delayed the journey, I still passed first time! Thank you Simon so much for everything! Best driving instructor ever!

Passed my test today first time with Godwin’s driving school. Simon is an amazing instructor and a lovely guy. When I came to Simon I had had a bad experience with my previous instructor which made me nervous and anxious to drive. Simon was patient, and helped me all the way and calmed my nerves. If I could give Simon more than 5 stars I would, he is friendly and easy to talk to. Simon is flexible with times and dates for lessons and is never late to a lesson. I am so thankful for his service and now I am a confident and an excellent driver thanks to Simon. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor and wish him the best with future pupils. I am going to miss my best friend Simon!

Simon is the BEST driving instructor ever initially I was drawn to Godwin’s Driving School due to Simon being an experienced accomplished Police Advanced Driver I was not disappointed he is genuinely a very humble honest person and makes you feel very comfortable, I am extremely grateful I found him after a traumatic test failure from a horrendous instructor to whom I took several lessons with and wasted a LOT of money I was disheartened. I did not think I would ever drive again my confidence was knocked and my lack of knowledge became apparent when I became Simon’s student. Simon is very passionate he provides you with the correct tools to be a competent and safe driver. The whole experience was enjoyable and fun Simon has an excellent sense of humour. As a learner mistakes will be made but with Simon’s upbeat positive attitude (patience of a saint) he never penalised me for them but made sure I had a clear understanding of what I was doing wrong. I couldn’t recommend Simon more.

I can’t speak highly enough of Simon as an instructor. He was a great and patient teacher, who made everything extremely clear, as i was learning to drive. He gave me confidence in what i was doing and taught me how to be safe on the road, making me the best driver i could be.I was fortunate to pass first time and i am very appreciative for the support and guidance that Simon has given me over the past few months.

Simon is a brilliant driving instructor who has advanced knowledge in driving from his previous job in the police as an advanced driver. Simon genuinely cares about his students and wants them to be as safe as possible when on the road and it is something that is very close to his heart. Due to simons dedication and hard work with teaching me how to drive I managed to pass 1st time with only 3 minors. I would 100% recommend.

Simon is an exceptional driving instructor. He has advanced knowledge and has helped me become a safe and competent driver. I am blessed to have had him as my instructor as he has a genuine passion for the job and his students. His lessons in the run up to the test were enjoyable and meaningful. I thank Simon for never giving up on me and always being re-assuring.

Simon has been a brilliant driving instructor, from the word go and made sure I was at the right standard to be able to pass my test 1st time despite the trials of being in a pandemic.Simon is really easy to get along with and I thoroughly enjoyed all my lessons and his teaching methods and knowledge are first class.Would thoroughly recommend him as a driving instructor
