Report
Passed first time with Martyn. He was always very professional. And prompt. Had a previous instructor who I felt rushed me into new things when I was ready and this set me back. Martyn took his time. And explained everything clearly. I dont think Id have passed without him. Thanx

One of the best driving instructors, very patient, explains everything thoroughly, highly recommend by friends and family. Wouldnt have been able to pass my test with confidence with any other driving instructor.

My son passed first time despite several setbacks during the pandemic (cancelled tests etc). He definitely credits Martyn with getting him through it and identifying and focusing on the areas that he needed to work on. Recommended.

Do not go with A49. Cancelled on me last minute with a flat tire. Gave him the benefit of the doubt and rebooked for a follow up appointment the next week. Came to the next appointment, the instructor blocked me on facebook. Called twice on his mobile and he did not answer. Absolute joke of a service, do not waste your time. Not professional at all.
