Simply Driving Lessons

Paul was such an amazing instructor, I was an older learner having not had any lessons for close to 20 years, he instantly made me feel at ease and enjoy being behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend.

I had a great time learning with Paul, he was always on time, polite and his experience definitely showed with in his teaching. Also the way Paul simplified driving was great, it really helped me get that confidence to pass my test first time. I couldnt ask for a better teacher.

I cant recommend and thank Paul from SDL enough for helping me to get over the finish line and pass my driving test! I wasnt a very confident person at all and nerves often got the better of me, but with the help of Paul my confidence and mindset towards driving grew massively! Highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a brilliant instructor! Thank you again Paul!

Michael was knowledgable and professional and I really enjoyed my lessons with him. I passed first time after having lessons for 4 months and would recommend him to anyone starting to drive. Thank you so much!

Just passed my test with the help of Michael. I've been so grateful for everything he's taught me, he's been so patient. Would highly recommend to anyone learning. Thank you Michael!

I passed today with 0 driving faults! After a few failed attempts before starting with SDL. I was a nervous driver with not a lot of confidence but Mike was really good at explaining things throughly and giving me good tips. Mike also didnt just teach me to pass my driving test but did everything for me to be a confident and safe driver in the future too. I am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much

Paul is a great instructor with excellent technical knowledge and a calming, personable demeanour. Before starting lessons with Paul, I was unsure that I would even be able to learn to drive as I struggle with coordination and can be an over-thinker! He has changed my mindset around driving, giving me the confidence and knowledge to tackle driving on any roads. I have been especially pleased with the fact that he has always been adaptable with his lessons - he completely changed his lesson plan on one occasion when I was experiencing some personal issues at home and that allowed me to get the most out of the lesson without adding to my stress.

Its been a pleasure to learn to drive with you Paul - thank you for putting up with me and my particular brand of madness!

Michaels a great instructor to choose, great person and teacher so would highly recommend!

Been doing lessons for a few months with Paul, I passed my test today. Very pleased with the service provided, excellent teaching and just generally a nice bloke, would highly recommend!

I can't recommend Paul from SDL highly enough! He was so easy to talk too which made the learning experience even better. He taught me the best techniques for driving and helped me get to grips with them on the easiest way possible which helped me pass my test. So grateful for Paul and I seriously recommend him!

Just passed my driving test after taking lessons with Michael. He was an excellent instructor and I would recommend him to any learners! He was encouraging, explained things clearly, and helped me feel comfortable and ready to learn. Thank you, Michael!

Brilliant instructor, after a few years of driving and no luck passing the test had a couple of lessons with Paul. Really helped to increase my confidence driving and focused on improving my driving not just focused on passing the test. Would recommend him to everyone!

Passed today after learning with paul. He's a great guy and a fantastic instructor, every lesson was a joy. i struggled with nerves, and panicking, and he helped me get through that. He is always on time, the car is always clean and tidy. I couldnt of done it without his encouragement and patience, thankyou paul ill be forever grateful

I passed today first time from Paul's teaching. He is very friendly and gives criticism in a constructive way. He has an excellent balance of being able to have a conversation with and instructing. He always remained professional and was always on time. He managed to fit me in when he was extremely busy and worked around when was best for me. I would highly recommend Paul to anybody. Thank you Paul.

A big thank you to Paul for helping me progress from being very nervous to passing first time with confidence. His attention to detail, calmness and professionalism is top standard. Most Importantly a great personality and easy to talk to. Would highly recommend Paul and SDL to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you Paul.

A first time pass with Paul after roughly 40 lessons. Always on time, excellent technical knowledge and easy to get along with. Definitely helped calm my early nerves with every lesson. Knows exactly what to work on and goes through with you at the end of lesson for stuff to think about. Just a shame he's an Arsenal fan..

Thanks again!

After having a lot of gaps in my driving, Michael was really helpful in boosting my confidence on the roads, I would definitely recommend SDL!

3 years after my first driving test, by describing everything in the simplest terms and making me feel relaxed whilst driving, Michael was the perfect instructor to help me gain confidence on the road again. I would highly recommend Michael and SDL to anyone.

Great instructor, very patient and understanding, never pushed me unless he knew I could do better. Allowing me to pass first time (already miss our f1 talks)

Paul was the perfect instructor for me a couple of years after I initially gave it up. I can't recommend Paul or SDL enough! He really brought up my confidence. Paul is helpful, reassuring, accommodating and most importantly, very good at what he does. Our lessons were always productive and constructive; I truly don't think I could've asked for a better instructor. Thank you Paul and thank you SDL!

I've had a couple of different driving instructors in the past, but I can confidently say that Michael is the only one that I could have passed with. Absolutely brilliant from the word go, he is so down to earth and such a nice guy, I have never felt more at ease driving a car. 95% of the pass goes to him, 5% to me for turning up and putting into practice everything he taught me.
I cannot recommend enough.

Passed my test on my first try with the help of Michael my instructor. He is very friendly and an excellent teacher. helped me build my confidence on the road. Highly recommend this driving school to everyone, they are really good at what they do!

Can't recommend Paul from SDL enough! After initially struggling to pass my test in 2019, I stopped driving for nearly 5 years and totally lost my confidence. In just 3 months, Paul taught me how to drive much better than I ever could before and I passed my test with confidence! Not only did he help me gain a better understanding of how to drive, but he's also a lovely guy who works hard to ensure his students succeed. Highly recommended!

Paul was my driving instructor and I had such an amazing time learning to drive with him. I was always excited for our lessons and loved our talks. His lessons were always so precise yet he explained everything in a way which made it seem simple. Paul is a very kind and fun person to be around, he made the lessons so enjoyable. Thank you so much Paul!

Paul was the best teacher i could have asked for. I took a while to pass and he was patient and backed me the whole time. i would 100% recommend him and the company for anyone looking to drive.

A massive thank you to Paul for sticking with me and helping me pass my test. He was very patient and made me feel very comfortable every lesson we had. He managed to work around my awkward, and his busy schedule to ensure i got the lessons when I needed them most. Paul is amazing at what he does and i couldnt have asked for a better instructor , I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you again Paul for helping me pass.

A heartfelt thanks to Ben for your unwavering support and encouragement. Your expertise and guidance helped me to pass the test. I highly recommend this exceptional driving instructor for new drivers. His expertise, patience, and ability to create a comfortable learning environment will boost your confidence behind the wheel. Dont miss the opportunity to learn from the best!10/10

I want to thank Paul so much for helping me pass FIRST TIME. When I first started i had no knowledge of driving at all and could not drive for the life of me. Paul helped me build my confidence ALOT, he helped those doubts that I had a lot of the time and made sure that I felt comfortable with the driving I was doing. He was also very flexible with times and always made sure I could get a lesson when I needed. so thank you again :))))

Had driving lessons with Michael and he was absolutely brilliant. He was patient and clear in his instructions, and gave me all the tools I needed to pass my test and drive safely going forwards. Would very highly recommend

Paul was excellence personified. I had failed a couple of times before and frankly was feeling a bit disheartened, but after a lot of patient and superb guidance he managed to get me a pass!

I learned to drive with Ben and honestly wouldnt have passed without him I was extremely nervous when starting lessons Ben was patient and supportive and helped me grow my confidence on the road.

You only learn to drive once and I couldnt of asked for a better instructor

Would highly recommend to anyone

As a new pass,I found my experience with SDL and my instructor Ben,to be a really positive one. I had struggled as a mature learner to secure a driving instructor with my busy schedule,but Ben and SDL were happy to accommodate my working hours.5 stars for that alone and as for the lessons,Ben made me feel comfortable and enthusiastic about my learning and was brilliant at being patient with me,building my confidence and addressing any of my shortcomings in a polite,friendly and professional manner.
All in all,top marks for Ben and SDL and I can't thank them enough for getting me on the road.
Cheers Ben :)

Highly recommended Paul to get you though your driving test. Friendly and makes you feel welcome and relaxed on your first lesson.
Crystal clear on any instructions and clear easy steps on how to do any manoeuvre required for your test.

Thank you Paul

Had a great driving journey with Paul, from my first time ever driving a car to passing.
Lessons were well tailored to suit what works best for me; this really helped in building my confidence and skill on the roads.
Now Ive passed I feel ready and experienced as we didnt learn to pass but learnt how to be a good driver.
I would for sure recommend this driving school

Where do I start! First time pass today & I absolutely could not have done it without Pauls amazing teaching & preparation. My confidence wasnt always there when it needed to be, but Paul always took things at the speed I needed & made sure I was as prepared for my test as I could be. Amazing driving school & I can not recommend them enough! Thank you guys

Ben was a great driving instructor, he is patient, gives great clear instructions and is a lot of fun to learn with. Before I started driving lessons I was unsure of what to expect with an instructor, thinking it may be awkward or I might get someone really harsh, but it was the complete opposite with Ben, we had a good laugh in lessons while still learning and making progress every lesson. I highly recommend him and SDL! Passed first try with an average amount of lesson hours

Ben is an amazing instructor and I couldn't have done it without him!! He's very patient, supportive and his teaching techniques are just fantastic. It's been a real pleasure, thank you!!

Paul was absolutely brilliant! Helped me build confidence, knowledge and the key skills needed to not only drive, but be safe on the road. Passed both theory and test due to him. Cheers!

ben was such a good instructor and helped me get over my nerves and helped me pass first time. he was so encouraging and very patient and we had a lot of laughs in the car. 100% recommend ben if you are looking for a reliable instructor that will not mess you around and help you pass. thanks for everything ben

Absolutely Flawless work from paul, hes keen to get you passed no matter what, His expertise and levels of patience are like no other. he truly does everything for your best interest. His main priority is keeping you safe and most importantly he teaches you how to drive i couldnt recommend his service enough. if you want quick, easy and stress free lessons SDL IS FOR YOU!

Been driving with Michael and just passed my test honestly was a great instructor had patience when I felt unsure about things and reassured me with anything that went wrong. After failing first time he was quick to get me back into lessons and booking another test assuring me that I was ready and todays proved him right. Id only been driving with him for a few months but couldnt have passed without his help amazing teacher and great guy.

Driving with Paul was a great experience every week he was there on time and if not he was early! Made learning so much easier with ways of teaching that helped make it so simple yet effective, made effort to fit me in whenever possible to make sure I dont miss a week of driving.
A great instructor to learn to drive with and a great man in general.

Thank you Paul!

I cant thank Ben from SDL enough for helping me pass my driving test second time. He created a really comfortable and fun environment for learning to drive in, and put you at ease from the moment you set foot in the vehicle. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is nervous about learning to drive like I was, thanks to his teaching. Im now more comfortable and confident behind the wheel, thank you!

Ben was on hand to give me a series of refresher lessons after I had been out of practice with driving since the pandemic. I can't speak highly enough of Ben's ability to simplify driving techniques and help build up confidence not to mention his friendly approach. I would recommend SDL to both new learners and those looking to get behind the wheel after a while.

If I could give Paul 5 million stars I would. Paul is absolutely brilliant and the best instructor you could have in Shrewsbury. His teaching methods have made me such a safe and confident driver. As an automatic driver of 10+ years, learning manual was extremely difficult for me. Paul was so patient and addressed all of my fears and helped me unlearn bad habits until I felt safe and confident. Very very highly recommended!!!

Could not recommend Ben highly enough, such a friendly and patient instructor. My daughter will miss her lessons with him. She has throughly enjoyed her driving journey with Ben, calming her nerves and supporting her every step of the way.

When learning to drive, I had Paul as my instructor and I could not recommend him more. He was patient, kind and helps you to understand everything in your own way. He also is easy to chat to which helps keep you calm and makes you feel as if you can always asks questions which helps being comfortable within in the car and confident in what you are doing!!

Michael is an excellent driving instructor! Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test with flying colors. Highly recommend his expertise to anyone looking to ace their test.

Paul is an excellent driving instructor. I passed a while ago now but cant thank him enough for teaching me not only to pass a test but be confident on the roads.
I definitely recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive, he is great at teaching all core aspects of driving and is incredibly friendly!

Had been learning and driving with Paul until I was fully capable of passing, which I did. Paul teaches everything youd ever need to know and was easy to get on with, glad he was my instructor!

I struggled with my first instructor but after moving to SDL I found learning to drive much easier. Paul is really friendly and patient with you and explains things making them easy to understand. Would definitely recommend.

I passed an extended driving test today with No faults. I could not have done this without the guidance, help and support from Paul, Paul pushed me to the highest limits making sure that no areas were uncovered and every little detail was spot on which today paid off in numbers. Paul is genuinely one of the nicest guys I have met and lovely to chat along too. he makes you feel at ease and comfortable whilst driving.

thank you Paul

It's important to have an instructor who takes the time to assess your driving skills and helps you improve where you need it. Rushing students to take their driving test before they're fully prepared can be dangerous and result in a lack of confidence behind the wheel.

By taking the time to prepare you thoroughly before the test, Paul is helping to ensure that you have the skills and confidence to drive safely and competently on the road. It's essential to feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and a good instructor like Paul can help you achieve that.

Remember to listen carefully to his instructions and take his feedback seriously. With his guidance, you'll be well on your way to becoming a safe and responsible driver. Good luck with your lessons and your driving test!

Me and my brother both had Paul as our driving instructor. He delivered clear lessons which improved my skills whilst ensuring I was comfortable and confident. This led to both me and my brother to drive safely and pass our tests first time. A big Thank you to Paul for all the help!!

Paul is an extremely kind and passionate driving instructor who has helped me become the confident driver I am today and even helped me pass first time! I've really enjoyed being taught by Paul, and really appreciate all that you've done for me. Would 100% recommend SDL for driving lessons, at whatever stage you might be!

Cant thank Paul enough for is help in getting me test ready and passing on my first time with him today. He is a fantastic instructor and a genuinely great guy who was so good at teaching me everything I needed to know in order for me to be a safe and confident driver. Paul would always take the time to explain to me his techniques in a easy and understandable way and always made me feel at ease when driving.

Please look no further if you are in need of lessons in and around the Shrewsbury area.

Thank you again Paul for everything, all the best.

Paul is a super experienced and high quality driving instructor. He makes the often quite daunting process of learning to drive simple and approachable. He is able to quickly identify aspects of your driving which could be improved and offer concise and informative tips to help you make fast progress. I believe Paul has an exceptionally high pass rate; I passed first time which is certainly reflective of this. Consequently, I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

Paul is an amazing driving instructor. I went from not knowing how to drive at all to passing my test first time! I could not have done this without him. He made sure that everything I did was perfect, making sure I did it again until I got it right. I highly recommend him for any first time drivers.

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul. He always turned up on time and explained everything clearly. Paul was friendly, calm and relaxed.

He was a great instructor who gave me confidence and encouragement and I was so chuffed to pass first go.

Once I passed my test I booked a motorway lesson with Paul. This was so beneficial and added to my confidence enabling me to drive anywhere!

I couldnt have wished for a better instructor thank you for giving me my independence.

PS Paul you have quality bant!!

I highly recommend Simply Driving Lessons if you are looking for a driving instructor to not only get you through the test but to teach you the ins and outs of driving. Paul is extremely professional, always on time and is very patient. Although I didn't pass my test first time, we kept working on it and I managed to pass the second time. Paul's years of experience really do show and his methods are teaching are very effective. It was an absolute pleasure learning to drive with Simply Driving Lessons!

I had used a couple of driving instructors before and hadn't found much success with them. I found I got bored quick and stopped driving lessons all together for a few years, having found Simply Driving Lessons through a friend I thought I'd give it another go, Paul was fantastic and really engaging as a driving instructor, tailoring the learning to your needs perfectly. He continues to push you throughout learning and I went on to pass first time, I couldn't recommend Paul enough!

I am an experienced driver from the US, and finally needed to change over my license. Paul was excellent at teaching me the (many!) differences in driving in the UK and made me feel well-prepared for the driving test. What was also great is that I was able to bring my toddler son on lessons, so I had much greater flexibility to fit them into my busy mum schedule. Highly recommended!
