Hi, I'm Martin...
..and I've been a Government Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) for almost 10 years. I started giving driving lessons as part of a large, established franchise, but now own my own independent driving school.
​
Prior to becoming a driving instructor, I was a manager in the retail industry for over 30 years - selling everything from shoes to storage units - and over the years have managed a diverse range of team members across all ages and demographics.
​
This experience has meant I've developed a unique, but broad coaching style. You can expect a no nonsense, but patient, fun and relaxed approach, where I help even the most nervous of learner, particularly those who are neurodiverse, feel more confident in their ability to drive - and ultimately pass their test.
​
You'll see some of the feedback I've received from previous students on my Instagram: arnoldsdrivingschool.
I've lived in and around Croydon for most of my life, and have been married to Sandra for over 35 years! We we have two grown up children, and our dogs, Alfie and Dudley.
​
I really hope you choose to learn with Arnold Driving School, and if you have any questions or concerns before booking a lesson, just give me a call.
