I have been an ADI for the last 6 years and enjoyed every day and am delighted to have joined DLA teaching in and around the Flitwick area. I believe that all people learn in different ways and at different speeds so all my lessons are based on each student’s individual needs. I am patient and understanding and impress that learning to drive is a life skill and aim to ensure that they have a full awareness of safety to both themselves and others. I instil confidence in my students and ensure they enjoy and are relaxed during their lessons. My aim is to ensure that only confident, competent and safe drivers go to their test and I get no more satisfaction than to see them pass.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time learning with DLA driving school and was really pleased to pass with just 3 minors! Would thoroughly recommend.

Andre Fernandes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Martin’s calmness and patient approach to driving really helped with my anxiety behind the wheel and when it came to taking the test. I felt as though he understood my thought patterns when approaching difficulties on the road and looked to fix them with lots of practice. Just working with me through my anxieties and driving difficulties helped boost my confidence behind the wheel, ultimately leading to passing my latest (3rd) attempt with 0 faults. I’d recommend him to anyone, he was brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Martin was an overall brilliant instructor and truly perfected my driving abilities. He could see what specific areas needed to be worked on with my driving and ultimately ensured that it was beyond test standard. Martin was always patient and understanding. I could not recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: I really struggled to pass my driving test due to anxiety. In my lessons, Martin really helped me change my mindset to be more positive, so I could relax and drive calmly during the test. After many attempts I finally managed to pass and I’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to Martin for helping me through my anxiety and believing so much in me.

Fantastic experience: It has been a very pleasant and obviously successful time with Martin as my instructor. He is avuncular, patient and vastly experienced. Martin breaks down the art and science of driving so well that learning becomes so easy. I wholeheartedly recommend him to would-be Learners and congratulate them in advance!

Fantastic experience: Marin is an excellent driving instructor. He not only shows me how to drive but also takes time to explain me the rationals of driving rules. One of the most useful things I found is that he usually takes time to talk through my issues and ask why I made certain mistakes. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn driving. Thumb up!
