Why choose MD Driving?

My structured, belief-led coaching system allows
Nervous learners to build confidence and calm behind the wheel, while confident learners refine their skills with focus and consistency. Because every lesson follows a clear structure and builds on the last, you always know what you’re working on and why. By combining driving skill, the right mindset, and time to reflect and improve, the learning sticks for the long term, not just the test.

✔ Ideal for nervous, overthinking, or anxious learners

✔ Perfect for adults who feel “behind” or restarting

✔ Effective for fast learners wanting quality instruction done properly

“if this sounds familiar, your struggle isn’t driving — it’s the beliefs and pressure patterns kicking in when mistakes happen. This is my specialty and I can help you fix this.- Matt Durrant (MD Driving instructor, mentor and coach).

This isn’t only for nervous drivers

Some learners pick things up quickly and just want high-quality, efficient instruction without wasted time.

The same structured system that supports anxious learners also helps confident learners progress cleanly, correctly, and test-ready without picking up bad habits.

Learners come to MD Driving because they:

  • Overthink every decision
  • Dwell on mistakes mid-lesson
  • Feel judged when cars build up behind them
  • Lose confidence quickly after small errors
  • Feel “behind” compared to others

They improve because they learn how to:

✔ Stay calm under pressure
✔ Stop one mistake turning into three
✔ Regain focus quickly
✔ Build confidence step by step
✔ Trust themselves behind the wheel

Learners don’t fail because they can’t drive

It's because lessons are unstructured or focused only on passing the test.

MD Driving focuses on both skill & mindset- eliminating any self limiting beliefs. Each session builds your awareness, control, and confidence — so you stay calm under pressure, not just for the test but for life.

After struggling with learning to drive with multiple instructors before hand matt was the ultimate professional and was very patient and understood that everyone learning to drive needs taught to their individual needs. In my experience he didn't just say what he would say to everyone he understood me as an individual made me feel calm and comfortable from the start and catered to me as an individual i fully recommend MD driving to anyone learning to drive thanks to his help i now have my licence and with that comes my freedom to travel anywhere on my own accord Thank you!!!!

I had a really great experience learning to drive with Matt and would highly recommend him. He was always patient, friendly, and very accommodating with lesson times. His instructions were clear and easy to follow, and he always gave helpful advice that actually made a difference to my confidence. I passed my driving test in around 7 months thanks to Matt’s support and teaching style. Lessons were relaxed but well structured, and I always felt properly prepared. If you’re looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor, Matt is a great choice.
