Simon was very helpful and patient during my lessons for my Class 1… put me at ease when driving the class 2 for the first time and getting used to the basics. It was very reassuring to have an instructor like Simon who I could have a laugh with, chat to and relax a bit all whilst still learning. His experience does show, trust me, listen to what he says and you’ll pass first time like I did. Thoroughly recommend Learn 2 Pass and Simon too. Great experience.
