Review this driving school

I would like to say a big thank you to Martin. I already had a driving licence but hadn’t driven for a long time, so I needed to refresh my skills and learn UK driving rules. I passed on my first attempt. Martin is an excellent instructor who focuses not only on passing the test but on making you a confident and safe driver. He identifies weak points and helps improve them. Friendly, supportive, and highly recommended.

Nikolai · 31 March 2026

Martin is punctual, reassuring and patient instructor. He ensure you are ready and capable before taking your test, also providing extra hours beforehand. He always aims to fit lessons within your schedule and can accommodate your preferences.

Jemymha · 24 March 2026

Martin is a superb instructor and has given me so much confidence on the roads. I cannot suggest using his services enough. Always friendly and extremely helpful.

Oliver Rogers · 18 March 2026

Martin has been an amazing driving instructor. Whenever I made a mistake, he never got frustrated. Instead, he would calmly explain what went wrong and go through it again with me until I understood and got it right. His patience really helped build my confidence while learning. He’s also always available if you need to ask him something, whether it’s during lessons or outside of them. That just shows how much he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to pass. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I’d highly recommend Martin to anyone learning to drive.

Sunil · 9 March 2026

Ruizhen Gu · 13 February 2026

Martin was absolutely fantastic instructor whi helped me build my confidence on the roads, even when I didnt think I would ever get to test standard.

lovely bloke who’s easy to get along with, really reliable as not once did he let me down. He takes time and doesn’t force anything as really understanding. Helped me to pass first time with only 2 minors

Loz · 17 April 2025

Was learning to drive with a friend but needed some lessons with a qualified driving instructor and I found Martin, he was able to fit me in quite quickly for a couple of mock tests before my test. He was able to tell me a few things that I would t of know. Whilst learning from my friend. He was so easy going and made me feel really at ease. Brilliant instructor and I passed my test first time. Without having a couple of lessons with him I doubt very much that I would’ve passed.Highly recommend

Knowledgeable, calm, punctual and easy going. Went from 0 knowledge to passing first time with 1 minor. Rates also significantly cheaper than other instructors in the area. Perfect teaching, only the very best from Martin every lesson, without fail. Cannot praise enough. 5/5

Ethan K · 6 January 2025

Amazing instructor, definitely worth it as I passed first time with only 3 minors!

George · 10 September 2024

I started learning to drive Last January 2023 with Martin. Martin put me at ease straight away. He has the patience of a saint! I find it difficult to learn new things and grasp things quickly but with Martins understanding, patience and professionalism, he took me from strength to strength. He’s so calm in any situation. I would highly recommend Martin as not only did he manage to get me through my driving test, he’s also become a really good friend. Martin definitely scores 5 stars from me.

Becky berry · 2 June 2024

Martin has been a patient and descriptive driving instructor. He is highly analytical and breaks down traffic/road situations to manageable chunks. 10/10 would learn again

Alex · 3 May 2024

Incredible instructor, makes sure that you are confident with all aspects of driving and makes sure that you are test ready. Helped me pass my test first time and really helped me with my nerves before the test so that I didn't feel any throughout. Such a lovely man and will always make conversation throughout lessons which made me feel more relaxed. Would definitely recommend!

Harry Dalrymple · 17 April 2023

Best driving instructor I’ve had ,makes it hard for you in the best way possible and has always looked to improve my driving in every aspect and if I ever struggled on anything he would keep trying and wouldn’t give up till I could do it perfectly , such a nice personality always has jokes on tap and also sends stuff after lesson for u to revise and makes u write down what you think is wrong with ur driving. Wouldn’t have passed my test without him ????

Jack Hearn · 30 June 2021

Martin is an excellent driving instructor, and a great laugh too! He is very patient and doesn't get angry or upset if you make a mistake- if he finds any improvements that can be made to your driving he will work on it. I passed on my first time with zero minors, so that says it all! It was an absolute pleasure to have lessons with Martin.

Courtney Taylor · 2 March 2020

passed first time with Martin in few lessons. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor that will teach you the the ins and outs of everything you need to know.

Brandon Selby · 6 February 2020

I cannot praise this man enough, helped me through every part of driving experience, Martin is the perfect example of what a driving instructor should be, we had a laugh at times but when it came down to the nitty gritty his examples and ways of teaching really helped me progress my driving, 10/10.

Harry · 24 January 2020

A great instructor that was very patient and understanding and goes the extra mile to help the student perfect what they are doing. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone who wants to learn to drive. I managed to pass within 5 months with no problems at all and feel confident whilst driving.

Alex Gordon · 22 October 2019

Words cannot express how grateful I am for having Martin as my Instructor. He is always kind and patient. And always explained everything so I could easily understand it. The only reason I passed my test is because of his teaching and guidance. Martin is a fantastic Instructor.

Nik · 12 October 2019

I managed to pass first time and I am over the moon. I looked forwards to lessons and felt very comfortable driving with Martin. I started out very nervous but now I am a confident driver. He was very patient but pushed me to do the best that I could. I wouldn’t change this experience at all and would recommend to anyone .

Harrington · 2 August 2019

Martin is a very vigilant instructor, He taught me everything there is to know about driving in the UK with such precision and accuracy that it helped me become a safe driver and took me through my test with ease. I highly recommend him as an instructor and gaurantee you will pass if you follow each and every driving principal taught by him verbally and practically. I wish him all the best for being the best teacher.

Maliha · 12 June 2019

Martin Bradford is without any doubt is the BEST driving instructor I could have learnt with. Martin is formal, smart and kind. He is a joy to be in a car with. He's humorous too. Martin proved to be an excellent instructor. He is firm, he will not shout at you but he will make it clear when you fault and he will do everything with you to fix that issue. In my case i passed first time when he felt i was ready to take my test. Martin is an excellent instructor as well as a good person.ThankYou.

Samuel Hinchliffe · 30 May 2019

I have been driving for 20 years now in different continents, but when you meet a master, you find you have much room for improvement. Martin is an expert in analysing your skills and knows how to get you to fix old set habits. Best of all, once you sit in the exam, you see repetitions of what you have already practised, down to the way they talk, and familiarity is what you look for in any exam. Passed in first try and I can say with confidence it would have not been possible without Martin.

Amir Bakht · 6 May 2019

Martin is a very good driving instructor. He is firm but fair, I passed my test the first time. I would highly recommend having Martin as your driving instructor. Thank you Martin.

Carl · 3 March 2019

Martin was so helpful and patient. He teaches to an exceptional level and goes over and above to make sure you are a safe driver for life. I couldn’t have chosen a better instructor and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Elyse wilkinson · 10 January 2019

Absolutely brilliant instructor very firm but very fair, well educated and intuitive. Was a great expirence learning to drive with Martin Bradford and passed my test first time with only 3 minor driving faults. Over the moon thank you for making me a safe driver.

Andrew smith · 4 January 2019

100% recomend. Very good instructor. I passed on first time after his lessons

Jonas · 6 December 2018

Very good driving instructor. Couldn’t fault him in his teaching style and would definitely recommend

Isaac · 28 November 2018

Martin explained everything you need to know and pointed out every mistakes you made. I passed my lesson today with 0 faults. So if you really want to learn how to drive, go for Martin.

Yuzhou Lin · 2 November 2018

Martin is an excellent driving instructor who I can't recommend highly enough. He's very friendly and patient. He has effective driving and teaching skills and will adapt them to the students needs. His pricing is about the average price you'd pay for lessons and he's very flexible with fitting you in when you're available to do lessons. I couldn't have asked for better person to teach me! Thank you for everything Martin and keep up the brilliant work! :D

Ashley Beautridge · 20 October 2018

Martin was a fantastic instructor. He was flexible and reliable, which meant that we could always fit a lesson in a week. His teaching was consistent and easy to follow and he helped me pass first time. I would throughly recommend him to anyone!

Michael Cameron · 18 October 2018

I honestly could not have been assigned to a better driving instructor, I just happened to be incredibly lucky to get Martin! As someone who didn’t take naturally to being behind the wheel, Martin really helped me develop my driving skills, whilst keeping me calm at the same time. I honestly don’t think I would have passed first time without him and I will genuinely miss our lessons because he’s such a positive and cheery person to be around.

Lily Mcdonnell · 11 September 2018

Very patient with me, calming. Did whatever he could to allocate time around me also did whatever he could to ensure that I passed my test

Kieran Windell · 10 September 2018

Martin Bradford is a great driving instructor. He help guide me to pass my test with zero faults. He will be recommended by me to any i know who needs to learn to drive. Thanks to Martin i feel confident that i will remain safe while i enjoy years of driving.

Liam Liddle · 4 September 2018

Decided to start taking lessons with Martin after my old driving instructor went into retirement. Previously, I failed my driving test twice. Only after becoming Martin’s student, I was able to realise that his teaching standarts were much higher than my old instructor’s. He helped me to cardinally change my driving and improve bad habits. Within couple of months, I passed my test. Would strongly recommend him to everyone.

Viktorija · 20 August 2018

I really enjoyed learning with martin hes a great guy, flexible hours can always fit me in and was always honest and truthful i found it hard to find an instructor until i found martin, i would recommend him to everyone experienced or not martin can teach you

Connor beech · 7 August 2018

I have been driving with Martin last year preparing for practical test but I have to stop for little while, and after one year a start to do lessons again with martin, he is very good teacher and pation with new Lerner's .. I would recommend Martin to all my friends who doesn't pass they test, because Martin will help to be 100% preperate on they test. Big Thanks for Martin again ??????

Anton dzvonik · 24 July 2018

It was a pleasure learning with Martin. Would definitely recommend him to others as he is a great instructor. Not only where his methods useful and allowed me to improve my driving ability, he also was easy to talk to and have a laugh with.

Adam · 19 July 2018

Exceptional driving instructor. Extremely patient and efficient. Pricing is very reasonable and Martin is flexible in working around anyone’s hours (benefit to me who worked full time) A driver log is completed after every lesson so you are clearly able to track your progress and know what to expect next lesson. You are also given a driver card which rates your standard of driving out of 5- this helped me leading up to my test to know what I did and didn’t need to work on. Highly recommended

Teisha · 11 July 2018

I would one hundred percent recommend anyone learning to drive to choose Martin as their instructor. He kept me calm and built my confidence throughout our lessons. The extra revision materials Martin gave me for my theory and after every lesson helped so much with my understanding. I was very anxious learning to drive but now I’ve passed my test and I feel confident. Thank you so much!

Emma · 26 June 2018

Martin is very easy to get along with, and is truthful about the ability of your driving, which is the most beneficial approach, as it allows for you to improve on areas of weakness.

Charlie poile · 16 June 2018

very good driving instructor. when you do something wrong he will ask you to pull up in a safe place and calmly explain to you what you done wrong and how to do it right next time round, he will also show you how to do it right by using a app on his ipad. another way that he is good is where he makes sure you are perfect at one thing before making you go into something more complected. learning with martin let me pass my driving test first time as he teaches in a way that is easy to understand

millie downes · 17 May 2018

He is a very kind and friendly instructor who will help you ease into things at your own pace. When things don’t go right for you he’s there to help you get back up and try again but when you do it right, he will be eager to praise you for it to encourage you to do it over and over without thinking. Lovely guy, good instructor and even offered to help with my personal problems a couple of times, really happen he was my instructor

Ben Gleeson · 17 May 2018

i completed my driving lessons and passed first time with Martin after having terrible driving experiences in the past. i was completely impressed with Martin as he took his time in teaching me and he ensued i was completely comfortable and ready to complete my driving test before i took it. i particularly liked Martins honesty as he was truthful to where i needed to improve and didn't sugar coat things. he is the Best driving instructor i have come across and would recommend him to anyone
