Martin was great. Patient, calm and provided clear guidance to the learner driver. The years of experience was evident. We’ll have another one coming your way this year.
As a driving instructor from another state(Vic) who has also taught in NSW and is now living in SA I was fortunate to have Martin very graciously take me through what is actually required to get my certification recognised here,( I sent out a lot of my resumes to driving schools via email).
Although I offered to pay him for his time -he refused(although I'll be booking a paid 2 hour lesson with him) SA road rules and testing conditions are vastly different from Vic. and NSW.
I love teaching,am the author of several books and numerous articles on safe driving and have been instructing for 8 years and I learnt some new tips and ideas today!
Martins teaching style was that he was able to clearly and concisely articulate what the differences where here and what I would have to do to get my accreditation recognised in this state.
OH and I have to resit the whole driving test before my accreditation is in a manual (and I teach auto only!) so I'll be going through exactly what a new student will have to go through to pass their test.
He is an excellent instructor and that's coming from someone whose students think the same.

Amazing, can't thank them enough. Wonderful teaching, lots of patience & sensitivity, and general all-round greatness. Strongly recommend.
I contacted Mitcham Driving School to learn how to drive a manual, and they are one of the few places which offer manual driving lessons. I have had my full license for a couple of years, but recently bought a manual, which I quickly discovered was much more nuanced than driving an automatic.
I had Daniel as my instructor who was brilliant. He explained all the details of driving a manual, from the clutch, to driving generally, to hill starts, and everything in between. He's a calm and patient instructor, and after 1 lesson I was able to drive a manual.
I had Martin as my instructor. I started off as a very nervous and anxious driver. It was due to my anxiety that it had taken me till I was 23 to get my licence. I had about 20 lessons in total and I am so thankful for Martin. He was patient, explained all my questions and just helped me become the careful and confident driver I am today. He was very reasonably priced and was very upfront about all the costs and what was expected of him when it came to the tests. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn manual and is a nervous or unsure.
Thanks Martin!
