I did the intensive course with Simmone and honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor.

From the first lesson, she made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence to get behind the wheel.

Her way of teaching is patient, clear, and encouraging, and she has a real talent for explaining things in a way that actually sticks.

Learning how to drive ended up being such a fun and empowering experience, and I've come out of the course feeling like a confident driver.

Simmone really goes above and beyond - I'd recommend her to anyone thinking about driving lessons.

I can't recommend Simmone highly enough!

She was lovely, incredibly flexible and worked around my crazy work schedule, which made lessons so much easier to fit in.

She's patient, supportive, and explained everything clearly.

Thanks to her, I passed first time - even though I had a tight deadline.

I'd recommend her to anyone, she's an instructor who really cares and goes the extra mile and I'm incredibly thankful I found her 🖤

Having my first lesson with Simmone was like getting in the car with a friend (who knows exactly what she's doing).

I felt so comfortable and confident with her, and I almost didn't want the lesson to end.

I was able to pass first time with Simmone!

She was so patient and always believed in me when I doubted myself. She gave me the confidence to pass and adapts to the way you learn.

I really enjoyed our lessons she made me feel comfortable and was always my biggest cheerleader. I had other instructors before but none of them were able to make it click like Simmone did and I actually looked forward to our lessons.

Definitely recommend Simmone she is the best of the best !!

Simmone is such a rare find, not just as a female driving instructor who teaches in an automatic and is available at weekends, but because of the way she teaches.

She's calm, patient, and always considers the needs of the learner. She explains things so clearly, which makes everything easy to understand and the lessons really enjoyable.

I'd highly recommend her, especially for anyone who feels nervous about driving.

To: Own The Road School Dartford

From: Millie - Bexleyheath

I couldn't recommend Simmone enough. She is highly skilled, patient and kind.

I didn't think I would ever pass due to bad learning experiences in the past but Simmone completely changed that around.

She has lots of experience and adapts her teaching depending on how the student best learns. She simplifies and gives good tips in order to drive safely & she is always willing to swap hours around that work for you if she's able too.

I would learn all over again with Simmone as she was an absolute joy and laugh to learn with!

I would like to express my gratitude towards Simmone. She is an excellent instructor.

I got in touch with her when I was struggling to get slots from other instructors. Despite of busy schedule, she made sure she gave me a slot as my test was just two weeks away.

I did the mock test first with her and she point out my strengthens and faults. She is definitely a very calm instructor.

At the end she sent me a summary of the test which really helped me correct my mistakes. After mock test I booked one more session with her for brainstorming. It helped a lot.

She makes sure that you get the best of it. She will go extra mile to get your queries solved.

All this really helped me to pass my test in first go.

Thanks

As someone who has had their fair share of driving instructors, I can confidently say that Simmone is truly one of a kind.

From the moment I met her, I felt at ease and knew that I was in good hands. Her warm personality, adaptability, and genuine connection with her pupils make her stand out among the rest.

Before I began my lessons with Simmone, I had tried other driving schools but never felt truly comfortable behind the wheel. I was always on edge and worried about making mistakes. However, with Simmone, I felt a newfound sense of confidence and calmness. Her teaching style is not only practical but also enjoyable, making the learning process feel effortless.

Simmone's adaptability is a huge asset to her as a driving instructor. She is able to quickly assess her pupils' individual needs and tailor her lessons accordingly. This personalized approach made it easy for me to grasp new concepts and overcome my previous hesitations.

Another quality that sets Simmone apart is her ability to form genuine connections with her pupils. She takes the time to get to know each person, ensuring that the lessons are not only educational but also enjoyable. This personal touch made all the difference for me and is likely one of the reasons why Simmone's pupils tend to be so successful.

In summary, my experience with Simmone as my driving instructor has been nothing short of amazing. Her lovely demeanor, adaptability, and genuine connection with her pupils make her a top-notch instructor.

I have never felt more comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and I owe it all to Simmone.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simmone is an amazing driving instructor! Kind, supportive and patient.

After starting off as a nervous driver I have now passed my test and now feel confident that I can drive safely on the road.

Would highly recommended to anyone learning to drive!

My first lesson was amazing - since I had driven before Simmone had to assess me, which I found good. She found my weak spots; she is more involved in the lessons and put it in good words.

Wonderful instructor, friendly but firm, therefore getting things done, and gets you road ready in good time 😊

I had a great first lesson with Simmone. It has been a couple of months since I had a driving lesson. She is so patient, calm makes you feel relaxed when learning to drive when you feel nervous.

The best instructor I have ever had can't wait for my next lesson with her.

After 2 postponements due to Covid, I finally passed my test with no minors!

I've always been worried about learning to drive, but Simmone made the whole process comfortable with her laidback, methodical approach.

I'd even go as far as to say I felt confident on the morning of my test, remembering all the hints and tips Simmone had given me over the course of our lessons.

I had a great first lesson with Simmone. It has been a year since I had a driving lesson so I booked to prepare for my exam!

Simmone is so kind, friendly and warm. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease.

She is an incredible instructor and I can't wait to book another lesson.

I would definitely recommend her!

I had my first lesson today and Simmone and she is honestly so lovely, I felt at ease as soon as we met.

She explains everything in detail and even swaps driving to actually show you so you understand completely.

Can't wait for my next lesson.

I had my very first Automatic lesson with Simmone and she made me feel so confident and welcome.

Being pregnant I thought my nerves would get the better of me but Simmone made me feel so relaxed and comfortable behind the wheel.

She is a very patient lady and gives you so much confidence - I can't wait for my next lesson ☺

From: Alexis - Farningham

Just passed my test first time and couldn't be more grateful to Simmone for all the support and training she has given me.

I was a very nervous driver when I first started but quickly felt at ease training with Simmone. Her clear, patient and methodical teaching style was exactly what I needed and helped me develop true confidence behind the wheel.

It is evident Simmone has a genuine passion for what she does and the support she gives to each student to help them succeed. She will always prioritise the student setting the focus of the lesson and everything she does will lead you to, not just passing the test but being safe on the roads when you do.

I am really going to miss my lessons with Simmone but hope to do her proud on the road!

Thankyou for taking me on and giving me the extra lessons I needed to pass my test. As I could already drive I needed guidance and confidence which you gave me.

Thankyou so much for being kind and patient and I'm loving driving - would recommend any of my friends as well x!

From: Shania - Bean

Simmone has been the most amazing driving instructor! I have recently passed my test with her and honestly couldn't recommend her enough.

The encouragement and confidence she has given me is evident when I look back to my first ever lessons.

Her way of teaching will not only push you to be and do your best but in way that you're completely comfortable.

Simmone will not only teach you how to drive but also prepare you for when you pass your test: filling up the car with petrol etc. all important lessons you need to have which many other instructors don't teach.

It's so clear that she loves her job and will put everything into her pupils!

I will miss our lessons lots and lots....hope to stay in touch xoxo

Initially, I was feeling quite nervous about the thought of driving. However, Simmone's understanding and patience has helped my confidence grow. And now, after my first lesson with Simmone I can't wait for my next lesson, in order to progress further.

Thank you so much for my first lesson. For somebody with autism I felt extremely anxious before the lesson, but you made me feel very comfortable straight away.

Your patience and understanding helped my confidence grow and as the lesson went on, I got less nervous and started to really enjoy it.

As I'm writing this, I'm really looking forward to my next lesson with you.

Many thanks

Today's lesson was absolutely fab! It's been one of my best driving lessons I ever had.

I had driving lessons before and they were horrible! But this was amazing. I felt relaxed which made me feel comfortable and confident in myself which is the main thing when driving!

You also have a progress record sheet which is an excellent idea. I know before my instructor never had that but that's good because it will not only show me, but also you, how I am improving or what needs to be worked on! And we can both go through it.

It was so good I would love to continue to do more driving lessons with you! Thanks 🥰

I managed to pass my driving test, due to Simmone's tailored support, guided practice and drills.

It's important as it doesn't only prepare you just for the test, but beyond that.

You will be comfortable and your confidence will build with Simmone. She's really good for analytical drivers and listens to what you want to achieve.

She always focuses on what you want to get out from your lessons and how to move forwards from errors you are making.

Simmone is a professional driving Instructor, very friendly and a good motivator.

She's very patient and relaxed to impact her students to become a safe driver.

From: Laura - Bexleyheath

I've recently just passed my driving test first time with Simmone's support!

I started as an anxious driver and Simmone has continued to nurture and support me during our lessons. Helping me to build my confidence and providing me with learning techniques that suited my style of learning.

Simmone has gone above and beyond to help me to pass; giving me the tough love that I needed towards the end closer to my test to get me to work on my weaknesses in driving so I am beyond safe on the road.

Whole experience has been brilliant and although I look forward to the new beginnings driving independently gives me, I am saddened to no longer have my lessons with Simmone as she has become a big support. I will miss our lessons and the calm, safe and fun environment she created in those lessons.

My previous Instructor was pants, but Simmone has been the complete opposite!

I had my second lesson with Simmone last week and couldn't be happier with how it is going.

Had my first lesson with Own the Road, I was nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect.

Simmone was very friendly and that made me relax. As the lesson went on I became less nervous and really started to enjoy myself.

She explained everything very well and gave very good constructive feedback. I never had that before, so I found it helpful.

I had lost confidence in my driving, but now I am actually looking forward to driving again.

Thank you Simmone.

To: Own The Road School Dartford

From: Diana - Belvedere

First of all thank you Simmone for a great first lesson!

When we met I was nervous as driving is not something that comes naturally to me, but Simmone assured me and gave me confidence in myself!

Simmone is great in explaining things in a simple and clear language, always making sure that I understand and am comfortable.

I can't wait for my next lesson and eventually with Simmones help becoming an independent driver!

Highly recommend!

I Had my first driving lesson with Simmone yesterday and I can't rate her high enough.

After giving up on driving years ago due to lack of confidence and anxiety I decided I wanted to try again.

Simmone made me feel safe and secure and explained everything in great detail on simple terms.

She is patient and kind and easy to get on with, I believe she will be the instructor to get me where I want to be and I'm looking forward to my next lesson already ☺

When I first met Simmone, I wasn't very confident, but she made me felt at ease and comfortable knowing that she would inform me if I made a mistake, I enjoyed the lesson very much and felt assured whilst driving.

I took my first lesson with Simmone after not having driven for 4 years, and she made me feel at ease from the start.

To: Own The Road School Dartford

From: Sabina - Erith

I was nervous about starting driving lessons, but Simmone had a useful long chat with me prior to our first session to explore why I felt nervous. This helped a lot to plan how the first session went.

On the day, after arriving at the spot we were going to start the lesson, Simmone first ran through some key introductory guidelines, and gave me a lot of room to ask questions and practice the manoeuvres.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I was able to drive during the first lesson (with a lot of help from Simmone of course!). We went down several roads, round corners, negotiated oncoming traffic and practised parking. I also wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be because Simmone gave calm instructions throughout and was on hand to help with the steering when I needed it.

Simmone is very patient, communicative and put me at ease.

I finally feel like there's hope for me being able to learn how to drive!

To: Own The Road School Dartford
