Helpful and productive lessons by Lewis that helped me get through with a first time pass!
I couldn’t recommend Simon at Shift more. As an older learner who had previous terrible experiences with learning/ driving, Simon immediately put me completely at ease. Not only is he an excellent teacher, he is also incredibly patient and a such a positive influence. I always felt like he was my biggest cheerleader, and he was so helpful with my (very high) driving anxiety as well. Despite his patience and understanding nature, he is also very precise. I passed second time, and would always recommend him!

I had such a great experience learning to drive with Shift. My instructor was Lewis who was always patient and supportive throughout my lessons. He really helped me build my confidence in driving. He explained things clearly, was always encouraging and never made me feel uncomfortable when I made mistakes or had any questions. I’m really grateful for all the time and effort he put into helping me become a confident driver and pass my test. Thank you, Lewis!

Absolutely love my driving instructor Simon from Shift. He is so professional. I learn slightly differently to most people and he would spend a lot of time finding new ways to teach me to help me understand. He is so patient and understanding and will do everything he can to help you. I'm so buzzing I've passed but gutted that I won't be doing anymore lessons with him. Would recommend him every time.

I had a great experience with Shift Driving School, especially with my two instructors, Phil and Alex. Both were incredibly patient, friendly and knowledgeable. They always gave me honest feedback on the spot, explaining what I was doing well, what needed improvement and why. They taught me a lot about proper road positioning, what to look out for and what to do and avoid in different driving situations.

I originally booked 10 hours of lessons but managed to pass my driving test first time after just 8 hours! Their guidance, encouragement and patience really helped me become a more confident and safer driver.

A massive thank you to Phil and Alex! I would highly recommend them to anyone learning to drive!

I would highly recommend my driving instructor Simon Houghton! He taught me in ways that were completely different to my previous instructors, which really helped me build my confidence and improve my driving. He has a great sense of humour, which made every lesson enjoyable and relaxed. Most importantly, his teaching and support helped me pass my driving test! Couldn’t thank him enough. 🚗🎉
