A huge thank you to Simon for being my driving instructor and helping me to pass the test.He was calm, patient, fun and genuinely focused on helping me feel confident and comfortable. His way of explaining things made even the trickiest manoeuvres or routes seem manageable, and his encouragement really helped me get on the right track. I appreciated his ability to adapt to how I learned best—he never made me feel rushed or under pressure. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a good instructor.

If you’re looking for a driving instructor in Barnsley, Simon Ball is the best. After on and off driving for years with different instructors, I came to Simon as a nervous driver, with no confidence, thinking it would take years of practice and multiple fails.

Simon is so friendly, patient, makes you feel at ease, pushes you when needed, and teaches you how to drive to a high standard, rather than just how to pass the test. I passed first time with Simon, and still can’t believe it! thanks so much for everything! 🙏🏼👏🏼

I am elated to extend my most profound gratitude and commendation to Simon Ball for his exemplary instruction and unparalleled dedication. Under his tutelage, I not only acquired the requisite skills to pass my driving test with flying colours but also developed a deep-seated confidence in my driving abilities.

From my very first lesson, it was abundantly clear that Simon possesses an extraordinary pedagogic aptitude. His discernment in identifying and tailoring his instruction to address my specific areas of improvement was nothing short of remarkable. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering patience fostered an environment conducive to learning, thereby allowing me to assimilate complex driving manoeuvres with relative ease.

The lessons were imbued with a balance of rigorous practice and strategic theoretical knowledge, ensuring that each session was both comprehensive and enriching. Simon's ability to impart critical safety protocols and advanced driving techniques is a testament to his consummate professionalism and expertise.

In summation, I unequivocally recommend Simon to anyone seeking to master the life skill of driving. His dedication to his students' success transcends mere instruction, imbuing each lesson with the confidence and preparedness necessary for not only passing the driving test but also embodying a responsible and proficient driver on the road.

Simon has been my driving instructor for the past couple of months. During this period he has helped me towards my anxiety and nerves towards driving. He is an extremely supportive person, always motivating me overcome my struggles. He even went as far as learning my own language to make me more comfortable while driving. Simon is a wonderful and friendly person and I would highly recommend his services

Having been with a few instructors before and it’s easy for me say that Simon is a cut above the rest. He gave me the confidence to pursue something that’s been holding me back a long time. There’s nobody I’d recommend more than Simon. He’s able to make even the most anxious of people relaxed.

Simon is a first rate driving instructor, from the beginning of our lessons together he was reassuring and gave me confidence to drive on lessons without ever feeling nervous. He is patient and has a wealth of knowledge about driving and the road. I always knew I would struggle with driving before I started lessons with Simon, as I had had a few lessons in a previous city in the past. But Simon has enabled me to pass my test which is something I honestly thought might not happen for me. He prepared me from top to bottom rigorously for my test and reassured me when I was apprehensive. I also feel Simon didn’t only prepare me for test but has facilitated me to be a knowledgeable, confident and comfortable driver for life. If you want to pass your test I cannot advocate Simon enough - he is truly the best in the field.
