Our mission
Our mission is to give learners the tools to drive confidently and safely when they’re out on the road on their own. This means more than just teaching you how to pass the driving test, but how to ‘Drive’ safely and competently and all that this entails. We give you the opportunity to drive in all types of road conditions and help you learn all the skills you need – even the ones you won’t be tested on.
Once you pass your driving test, you’ll feel confident in your driving skills and able to handle any challenge you face on the road, without risk of endangering yourself or other road users.

Learn To Drive… An Easier Way
As well as having decades of experience teaching learners of all levels to drive, Martin has also published a highly-regarded book to assist with the experience; ‘Learn To Drive… An Easier Way’. This book was written to help simplify the different aspects of learning to drive and illustrate ways to make seemingly complex processes simple.

Driving lessons
We see everyone we teach as an individual, which means we tailor every lesson to your needs, experience, and skill level. When you learn to drive with Martin, you’ll feel at ease in a calm, encouraging environment. If you’re struggling to get the hang of a certain manoeuvre, no need to fret, Martin has a number of techniques to help you understand or visualise how to approach things.
