My instructor with Driving's Cool was very patient and good natured, he put me right at ease, which helped my confidence. The books and material Peter used with diagrams really helped me and gave me more understanding of what I was doing. I would definitely recommend Driving's Cool to everyone.

I started lessons with Martin in July 2021 and passed first time in November 2021 with only two minors.
Martin is a fantastic instructor and I really appreciated his coaching approach to lessons, which meant each week I decided what I wanted to do and what I was comfortable with! Martin is patient, always makes you feel at ease and explains everything really well. I was able to get a lesson every week and always at a time that suited my work schedule. Genuinely had a great and fun experience learning to drive with Martin!
Would 100% recommend learning to drive with Martin at Driving's Cool! Thanks

I started driving with Martin without any previous driving experience and although I struggled a bit in the beginning, especially with roundabouts Martin was always calm and professional, explained everything very clearly and pushed me and encouraged me when I needed, giving me a bit of confidence. Passed my test first time with no faults yesterday, 100% recommend :)

Learning to drive during COVID is hard, but Martin works harder!
Passed my test today (only 2 minors) after learning with Martin since August 2020. Excellent instructor with precise and helpful feedback all the way through learning. The car is clean, COVID protocols were an obvious priority and scheduling around the rest of my life was easy and flexible if ever needed. Even after I failed my first test, Martin kept me motivated and helped me work on all the critical points to pass second time. Martin teaches if you want to learn to drive for life, not just for the test.
The whole experience was

I 100% recommend taking driving lessons with Martin from Driving's Cool. I started lessons with Martin in October 2020 and have passed today first time with only one minor. He is such a good instructor, I felt nervous to learn how to drive a car but he is always very calm and very good at explaining things and I wasn't afraid to ask him questions. He was friendly and made me feel comfortable even if I made a mistake and always had something positive to say about each lesson and how things were going.
His car was very clean and Covid safe, we always wore masks and he cleaned down his car every

A massive thank you to Martin who over the past year and a half has taught me to drive from absolutely no driving experience whatsoever. I passed my driving test last week with what seemed like all odds against learner drivers right now with the ever changing lockdown restrictions etc.. Martin has been amazing since day one, very accommodating to different schedules which was great for me as I never generally had the same days off week to week. I was always comfortable with Martin as he has a very calm and collected attitude while staying professional at all times which helped put me at ease during

I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Driving's Cool. I started just before the pandemic and my instructor Helen was very helpful at teaching me the ropes. She was very patient, calm and good at pointing out when I did something well or when I had made a mistake and how to correct it. And then after the first lockdown when we could start taking lesson again she made me feel very comfortable and safe with very good Covid safety measures in place. Would highly recommend Driving's Cool for any new drivers out there. It was a very enjoyable experience overall and I am very grateful for
