Testimonials:

The following are a few of the many examples of various comments my pupils, past and present, have made regarding the service they have received from Acclaim Motor School:

 

Passed 1st Time :

"I still have a grin from ear to ear. Thank you so much for being just an absolutely perfect instructor, am going to miss our lessons and all the insights you gave me on my journey. I am really grateful for all your kind words and the confidence you gave me to pass " Amanda H, Thatcham

Satisfied Pupil:

" You're a Superstar at teaching me to drive. My previous instructor just used to criticise, and my partner keeps picking on my driving, but you always explain everything so clearly so it's easy to understand and master" Amanda, Thatcham

Nervous Pupil:

"I cannot thank you enough for the driving lessons and giving me confidence to be a good driver. I'd highly recommend your services to any learner driver. You are professional and friendly and you inspire confidence which is priceless. Having had lessons with another driving school before I found you I have something to compare your lessons with and realised what a waste of time and money it was and what a shame I haven't found your school sooner. Many many many thanks." Daria, Reading

Nervous Pupil:

"I would recommend Martin to anyone who is wants to learn to drive.After failing twice before. He gave me the Driving Test Nerves CD [ www.TestNerves.co.uk ]. It really did help me to relax and stay focused. On the day of my driving test I actually looked forward to taking it because I felt so relaxed and confident that I would pass. I even showed my instructor that my hands weren't even shaking this time and I didn't have a knot in my stomach like last time, but I felt really relaxed and confident. The diagrams were really awesome too, because I used to get a bit confused before And this time I PASSED my driving test" Joe, Lambourne

Nervous Pupil:

"I would recommend Martin to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive. He is a good driving instructor and got me through my theory and practical driving test first time..yay" Amy, Newbury

Pupil from Reading who specifically came to Martin for driving lessons:

"Martin taught so many useful and practical things that my previous instructors never mentioned. He gave me a CD with all the manoeuvre diagrams and step-by-step instructions which made them really easy to understand." Josh, Reading

Pupil who was moving to Scotland:

"Dear Martin, This is to express my deep gratitude for your help and support during the last fewmonths. I really appreciate your patience and encouragement at evry driving lesson....Thank you for giving me the confidence" Sister K - Cold Ash

Successful pupil on Passing his driving test:

"Considering I had a week until my test and had to get used to a different car, you guided me through everything professionally, teaching me to drive as well as pass the test, giving simple ways to do manouveres and staying calm and friendly all the time. Thanks for giving up your time and I would recommend you to anyone!" George C, Newbury

Comment made by successful pupil on Pass Plus Lesson:

"The first time that I went out driving by myself in my own car I thought that I'd be nervous and that I'd crash. I was wrong on both accounts. Your superb instruction has taught me not just to plan ahead and avoid dangerous situations but also to be confident in my own driving abilities." Chris P, Thatcham

 

After Passing her Driving Test at the 1st attempt:

"From day one of having driving lessons with you I felt confident in your teaching and that I would be safe if I were to make a mistake. You enabled me to quickly learn all of the manouvers with uncomplicated, easy to pick-up techniques. 

Even though I had another instructor that was good, you aimed your teaching a lot more at driving in general rather than just merely passing my test and repeatedly driving the same test routes, meaning I can now drive on all types of road. 

I also found my last instructor patronising when I made a mistake though you would never laugh at or get cross with me, but merely stay calm and friendly, and explain to me what went wrong and how I could improve.  Had I had lessons soley with my other instructor, I can't see myself passing first time! 

All my friends thought I was being too ambitious hoping to pass in the space of time I wanted to, and I've managed to prove them all wrong!" Georgina, Chieveley

 

"...You've never had to teach anyone near as nervous as me before..." Mrs L H, Thatcham - Yes I have, and she has now passed her driving test and is now a qualified driver and the proud holder of a FULL driving licence -

 

 

Just after passing her practical driving test:

"....I can honestly say that you never got irritated, angry or cross with me even once in all the time I have been learning with you. If you had, or I had an instructor who did, I would never had learnt to drive at all...." Miss L B, Newbury

 

When asked how she considered my tuition compared with her previous instructor, Miss H, from Hermitage replied:

"....I was talking to my mum only last night about this, and I said to her that I felt that I had been paying my last instructor £22 an hour to supervise me. Now I am paying £26 an hour, but am being taught to drive safely and well..."

 
Yet other responses to the same question:
 

"....You point out things going on around us in much more detail. My last instructor didn't say very much, just sat there being quiet most of the time...." Mr M D, Newbury

 
"....I did try another instructor, although they were very good, the way you teach is much more Professional...." Miss J R, Bradfield
 
"....You have taught me much more than my previous driving instructor, and pointed out lots of things to look put for on the road which I never anticipated before, and wasn't pointed out...." Mrs P G, Newbury
 
"....You make me feel much more confident than I was before...." Mrs M S, Newbury
 
"....Since changing from my last instructor to you, I feel much more confident driving now than I was with my last instructor. He only used to point out my mistakes after I had made them, but he never explained what I'd done wrong and how I should have dealt with the situation, as you do...." Miss L J, Newbury
 
"....You have taught me more in the 3 lessons that I've taken with you, than in all the lessons put together, that I had with my previous instructor...." Mrs R F, Thatcham
 

"....I had 26 lessons with my last instructor and only did the 3-point turn 4 times and no other manoeuvres, is this normal?..." Mr D K, Newbury

My reply to him was: "...Given your ability and aptitude, if you had taken 26 lessons with me, not only would you have been taught all of the manoeuvres, but most probably have taken and passed your driving test by now..."
