Cristina's review.
Finally my driving license! First time pass!!
After many years of changing three instructors, I finally found Martin Ashford on the Internet.
I hated driving, I was ready to give up, but after the first lesson with Martin I fell in love with driving, finding pleasure in the fact that the hours of driving flew by.
Being a foreigner, disappointed that I couldn't understand roundabouts, slip roads in carriageways, fear of speed, parking in empty bays where all the white lines were the same. …I was a catastrophe, but Martin has a special gift of being a super instructor, very tolerant, indulgent, understanding patient, always positive and his goal was to make me love driving safely and make me realize that driving is not a game but a very serious thing where your life, the life of others is very important.
Martin is an exceptional teacher/ instructor that’s acts as an informal psychologist, using empathy, building trust, active listening, and encouraging support for student growth.
He was never critical when I made mistakes, but always made me understand everything in detail, talking to me, explaining me well, just like a father does when teaching his child to take his first steps to walk.
Thank you Martin for teaching me not only how to drive, but how to do it safely.
I will miss our lessons.
A great and good teacher teaches us to believe in ourselves, explains and inspires. Martin is a person who has chosen to dedicate his life with passion, professionalism, and dedication to the training very well the future drivers.
He taught me that making mistakes is not a failure, but a way to learn, and studying is not only an obligation, but also a way to grow and become free and independent. Martin made every driving lesson a beautiful journey. The test I passed is not thanks to me, but thanks to Martin.
Without Martin, I would not have passed the driving test the first time.
Thank you, Martin, and I will be a good driver because I will always respect all your advices and driving rules you teached me .
If many car drivers had an instructor like Martin, there will be no more car accidents.
Maximum respect and appreciation to MARTIN ASHFORD for all his commitment and effort put on me , taking me from 0 to 10 and passing the driving test from the first test.
I highly recommend Martin at 100% for people like me who are afraid of driving, who lack self-confidence, those who struggle to understand what is very important from when you get in the car, during the drive, until you reach your destination.
Driving is not a walk in the park, but it is a huge responsibility!!!!!
Therefore, for the rest of my life I will always have Martin's voice in my ears, just as Martin's voice was in my ears during the driving test with the examiner—observational mirror checks, smooth maneuvering, and confident roundabouts. …
If Martin didn't exist, he would have to be invented!!!
He's a legend!
He's my hero!
Many thanks to Martin Ashford👏👏👏👏
