Tom Reid - 30.5.22
"Really cannot express how great Martine is. She is SO personable, friendly and patient as a teacher. I've had a huge amount of trouble with nerves and anxiety in the past when driving with previous instructors, to the point where it almost became a mini phobia of mine. But Martine somehow managed to build my confidence up from rock bottom, and I now feel so comfortable behind the wheel of a car, I even look forward to driving!
If you're looking for a driving instructor look no further, she truly and genuinely is fantastic. Just make sure you can put up with the very funny sarcastic jokes 😉
Thank you so much Martine, cannot thank you enough, you've been brilliant. ❤️☺️☺️"

George Beswick - 02.08.21
"Martine is a great instructor, I started learning with her 2 years ago, but due to Covid is halted my progress. But as soon as she was able to she was able to pick me back up and start teaching me again. She also helped a tonne with my confidence in my driving as this was one of the things holding me back.
So I couldn't recommend anyone better for someone to teach under, and this is coming from someone who passed their first time while being with her!"
