He is very professional, patient, and accommodating. He always respond to my messages and always willing to help. Driving is my biggest fear and Martin played a big part to overcome that fear. Thank you so much Martin. Stay blessed. KM
Martin is very approachable, patient, fun and calm. When driving, you don’t feel under pressure with Martin. I had Gained a lot knowledge within a 1 hour session that i wasn’t aware of on the road. Martins teaching methods have helped me to overcome that barrier of low confidence and i am feeling ALOT more confident to go for my test. Best instructor so far! Highly recommended for anyone. Thanks Martin Wairua
Martin is a great guy and the course was really fun and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone if they haven't done it already. Even if you already have your full license, it would be a really good thing to do as you will learn so much more about everything.

Martin was an amazing instructor, I actually had fun on this course and learnt a lot! My friends always said defensive driving was boring but obviously they hadn't had the Martin experience. Very engaging, very interesting, incredibly helpful and kind.

Great training and lessons from Martin, and I'm sure proper follow up study and practice will get you the appropriate license.
Benoy
Organised lectures and driving assessment... 100% detailed assessment during driving assessment.... When I got 100% in online exercise i was more confident in my driving. Because of solving all exercises and Martin's (teacher) advice on driving skills, helped me to get 100% in my first restricted driving test. I made zero errors in my test. My examiner was amazed with it. Thanks to Martin's Real Experience Driving School's Defensive Driving Course.I believe that you can also pass restricted driving test with 100% on your first attempt. Just join Defensive Driving Course at Real Experience Driving School, Palmerston North, and do what Martin asks you to do. Best of luck! Thanks!

I recently completed the REDS Defensive Driving Course, and I'm so glad I did. Martin uses a good curriculum from the AA and makes it great by engaging you in the learning. His school teaching background is proof that he has a knack for teaching skills in a way learners of any style or age can appreciate. The practical session is a valuable opportunity to get personal insights about your driving style from someone who really understands driving. Taking the course opened my eyes to several aspects of my driving that needed attention. I would recommend Martin and the REDS Defensive Driving Course to drivers of any age and stage of the licensing journey. Ben

Organised lectures and driving assessment. Lectures start on time and end on time. They stick to the schedule. 100% detailed assessment during driving assessment.
I attained all lectures continuously, and did all written and online exercise he asked me to do. When I got 100% in online exercise i was more confident in my driving. Because of solving all exercises and Martin's (teacher) advice on driving skills, helped me to get 100% in my first restricted driving test. I made zero errors in my test. My examiner was amazed with it. Thanks to Martin's Real Experience Driving School's Defensive Driving Course.
I believe that you can also pass restricted driving test with 100% on your first attempt. Just join Defensive Driving Course at Real Experience Driving School, Palmerston North, and do what Martin asks you to do. Best of luck! Thanks!
100% recommend this course not only does it cut 6 months of your licence time but you leave with a complete new outlook to your driving! I learnt things I never knew before and I will definitely be taking it to the road '' Martin is truely great!
Martin was a great instructor who taught me son from scratch, as he never even rode a bike. He brought him up to the required standard to pass first time , very professional man
Martin was a great instructor ans made my lessons very comprehensive and effective, I only had three lessons total, but, they were all key in me getting my restricted lisence!
This course just goes to show, you can always teach an old dog new tricks. 17 years driving and still learnt something new on the final day. Unbelievably laid back course and didnt feel like a boring waste of 2 hours each time. The rewarding treats were always welcomed. It's been a pleasure Martin. Thank you!
Wonderful wonderful teacher, great communication and very very welcoming. Had a great time with him in lessons and learnt alot. He really helped me know just what was needed to pass the test while also being very fun to learn from. 100% would reccomend to anyone in the area.
\Martin helped me pass my restricted license and after completing a defensive driving course a couple of months ago I have now passed my full license. Many thanks for your guidance throughout these experiences and helping me feel more confident.
