Fantastic experience: Martin is one of the most patient and polite person I have ever met. As well as this he is an excellent instructor to learn from in a great car. So glad that in the 8 months I spent learning that it was with him and led to me only receiving one minor in my practical test.

Fantastic experience: Martin was recommended to me by my mother who also passed her test through him. With Martin, he helped me understand and learn the skills needed to drive a car safely and has been a great help throughout my driving journey. If you're worried about driving like I was then Martin is great for you as he will reassure you and guide you through every step. When I took my test, I was very nervous but Martin calmed me down and reassured me that he was extremely confident in my ability to pass so I was alot calmer when I arrived. I passed my test (FIRST TIME !!) with only 5 faults and I have Martin to thank for that, so thank you so much Martin

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time today , all thanks to Martins brilliant teaching over the last 1 and a half years. Due to being in lockdown it had taken this long to even get a test after having my last 3 cancelled. Martin uses a fantastic teaching style which instantly puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable all the time whilst in the car. His very calm nature mixed with a good sense of humour insured that i really enjoyed my time learning under him. He was also on hand any time to offer excellent advice as well as always being very supportive whenever i had any concerns or questions. The car that is used was very easy to drive which made for smooth driving each time.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Martin for his patience and calm demeanor. For someone who was in a crash, I had extreme anxiety about driving. I was incredibly nervous for a while but Martin was so patient with me and always made me feel safe and comfortable. Eventually I got my confidence up, and passed on my second test. I have had instructors before that were too pushy, and made my anxiety worse. Martin is the perfect instructor for someone who struggles with anxiety or has a fear of driving. I am now SO much more confident, and I thoroughly believe it is down to the instructor I had. Thank you!
