I recently passed my driving test first time with Simon and I can’t thank him enough. He truly is the best at what he does, he always explained things very clearly and calmly. I was quite nervous when I first stated and was getting in my head a lot but Simon had lots of little tricks that would calm me down so I could drive to my best like he taught me. I honestly couldn’t recommend Simon or the driving academy enough.

A special thank you to Simon, I honestly couldn’t have done it without him. With only four days to get used to his car, he gave me so much support, patience and guidance. He really boosted my confidence and made a big difference going into my test. He explained everything clearly and always kept me calm, which I really appreciated.
I’d highly recommend this academy to anyone learning to drive.
Thank you again!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Megan. She’s incredibly patient, calm, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Even when I made mistakes, she stayed positive and focused on helping me improve rather than making me feel stressed.
Her lessons were always well-structured and tailored to what I needed to work on, and she made sure I was fully prepared for my test. Thanks to her support and guidance, I felt confident going into my driving test and passed.
I’d highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

I recently passed my test with the driving academy, and Megan was my instructor. Megan’s truly brilliant at what she does, she made sure i was comfortable and confident on the roads. Megan showed so much patience and determination in helping me to gain confidence in myself and my driving.
I always had the best chats and laughs in my lessons with megan, I’ll definitely miss that.
I can’t recommend Megan Shaw and The Driving Academy enough, thank you so much for everything !!
