Tony is the best driving instructor!. He is patient, calm, and very very helpful. He helped me pass my test. It's not been easy, but he was there giving me confidence throughout and I couldn't be more grateful. If need to learn to Drive, Tony Martin is your guy. Maria Hoare Tony is the man! I couldn't have asked for a better instructor! Over my several months of being instructed by Tony, he has shown me the perfect balance of patience, understanding, flexibility and fun. He deserves all of the credit that he gets, for without him, I would not have passed. Jonny Martin What an excellent instructor! I enjoyed every minute of every lesson. Tony explains things clearly, he is patient and great to talk too! I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you very much for helping me pass 1st time - with no faults! Chandler Kenworthy Tony is an excellent instructor! His calm manner and meticulous approach to teaching really built my confidence, and prepared me for my test day. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Lisa Oliver Tony is a great instructor, without him I wouldn't be where I am today passing my test. From having practically no knowledge of driving to passing today through out these past month tony has been there guiding me through and has made me the driver I am today.Cannot recommend him enough.
