Martin is a brilliant instructor with an expert knowledge of Guildford and
surrounding areas. It became very clear to me that he is very experienced in the field for many reasons including his constructive and detailed yet concise feedback, meaning it is not
overwhelming and only very helpful.
Would happily recommend Martin to anyone.

I was a late starter at the ‘school of driving’. Over the years, I’d had numerous attempts to learn with other instructors, but none had ever lasted more than a couple of lessons because the chemistry just wasn’t there. Thankfully, at the ripe old age of 44, I was introduced to Martin, following a recommendation from a friend. It’s the best recommendation I could possibly have been given.

Learning to drive, particularly later in life, is as much a psychological challenge as it is a technical one. Confidence is everything and there’s also the danger that you ‘over-think’ things, which only makes the learning process harder. I’m convinced that the role of a driving instructor is part ‘teacher’ and part ‘therapist! Fortunately, I found the best one.

It goes without saying that Martin’s technical knowledge and expertise is brilliant. He’s a master of his craft. However, it’s his human qualities – and his ability to communicate that knowledge – that sets him apart and makes him such an incredible teacher. Martin has the perfect blend of patience, empathy and understanding. He provides the right balance of encouragement and critique, and underpins everything with a calmness and humour that genuinely puts you at ease. Best of all, he’s agile in his teaching – personalising lessons so that they focus on the areas most needing work, rather than simply following a preconceived template. Guildford is a much safer place because of the five consecutive weeks we spent simply doing roundabouts!

Martin’s approach builds confidence and helps overcome those psychological obstacles. And it works. Much to my surprise, after years of convincing myself I’d never be able to drive, I passed first time. That’s ultimately all down to Martin. I could not have wished for a better teacher. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Thanks to Martin I was able to pass my test first time, even with me being quite nervous, Martin has been able to build my confidence immensely , I would highly recommend. I couldn’t have found a better instructor! Thank you so much Martin.

I can't thank Martin enough for guiding my daughter Tegan through her test. Thanks to Martin's patience, Tegan's confidence grew and enabled her to sail through and pass first time! I have and will continue to recommend Martin, you certainly won't find a better instructor in Surrey!

A great driving instructor, he managed to stay calm even when I messed up and seemed to have near endless patience. Would and do recommend to anyone.

Martin gave me the skills and confidence needed to pass my test first time. He was a brilliant instructor, both calm and encouraging. He has contributed to a lot of my family members passing first time also. I would highly recommend.

Thanks to Martin I have been able to pass my driving practical first time! I would love to congratulate him for his excellent teaching skills. Thank you!

I have really enjoyed driving lessons with Martin. He was very calm, patient and an excellent teacher. I have already recommended him to a few friends. Thank you Martin for helping me pass first time.

If you want to pass your test first you have to go with Martin, he’s the best. Help me to become confident in the car and helps me to learn all the correct thing to do ready for my test. If I did something wrong he gives me helpful advice to improve it.
Thank you Martin for helping me pass first time.

Martin is a great driving instructor. He always gives clear instructions and is very encouraging. He is also not afraid to point out any faults in your driving, which is more than useful for passing your test. I would definitely recommend him.

Martin is an excellent Driving Instructor - patient and calm, and he explains everything really clearly. He ensures that you are very well prepared for your test and I would have no problem recommending him if you want to pass first time. Thank you Martin!

Martin is a great instructor and always gives clear instructions. His extensive knowledge of Guildford is particularly useful when preparing for your test. Thank you Martin.

I cannot recommend Martin highly enough. Both my sons have passed their tests with only 2 minors each. They are very confident now behind the wheel. Martin has a very calm and patient approach. Always punctual, we could not have asked for more - have recommended to all my friends. Thank you Martin

Martin simply is a great teacher, he is not too strict that you feel uncomfortable or uneasy but firm enough when you make a mistake that he will advice you immediately how to escape the situation with no harm and then after you are safe to tell you what went wrong and how to fix it for next time. He will always make sure to give you positive encouragement and make you feel that you are making progress. So simply if you want someone that will help you pass first time then Martin is your guy. It was a pleasure to learn from you Martin and thanks for everything.

It was a pleasure to learn to drive with Martin! He made me feel confident and always encouraged me to persevere even when I got things wrong! He’s very calm and positive and I would highly recommend him to everyone! It was a pleasure to learn to drive with him. Thank you Martin!!!

It is a pleasure to have been taught by Martin. He is patient, calm, and an excellent teacher to boot. Additionally, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of guildford + surrounding areas. Even before passing (yesterday!) I was recommending him to my friends, and I do the same now, as he surely must be one of the best instructors in the area. As you can see from this and other testimonials above, if you take lessons with Martin you will come out as a confident and able driver; I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I am so excited to write about Martin as I have passed my driving test today. He is an excellent driving instructor. I had chosen Martin as my driving instructor after carefully reading many reviews and recommendations from my friends. And today I am so happy about my decision. He is so calm, relaxed and composed and knows when to make you correct. His pedagogy is awesome and I highly recommend of him.
