Driving Lesson Info

Driving Lessons Crawley, West Sussex

At BENCHMARC Driver Training we specialise in driving lessons for the neurodiverse. Over the years I have learnt many skills & techniques that will help you become an AMAZING driver and help you manage your disempowering triggers. I want to share these skills with you and not only help you drive to THRIVE. But to also transfer these skills into your life outside the car, so you can Thrive and feel ALIVE!

What to expect during a lesson

In a driving lesson with me, you can expect a flexible, tailored & fun approach designed to suit your learning style. To begin with it’s just getting to know each other, we don’t even have to talk about driving if you like. My goal is to create a no-pressure, judgment-free & enjoyable environment where you feel comfortable and in control. I’ll ensure you have all the knowledge and confidence needed to operate the vehicle safely, helping you work towards the freedom and independence that driving will bring you.

Be Prepared

For your driving lesson, first and foremost, bring yourself and arrive on time. You must have your provisional driving licence with you—it’s a legal requirement. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring a spare pair if needed, as the right footwear is crucial. Dress appropriately for the weather; avoid bulky coats. If you wear glasses, bring them for the required eyesight test at the beginning of your first lesson and before you start your driving test. Also, bring any necessary medication and inform me in advance so I can assist if needed.

Our driver training car

Toyota CH-R - 2024 Model - AUTOMATIC

Discover the Toyota CH-R 2024 model at BENCHMARC!

With its sleek futuristic design, blending sporty styling with practicality and its advanced safety features, smooth handling and comfortable interior, it’s the perfect car for learners.

Equipped with cutting-edge technology, fuel efficiency and an emphasis on eco-friendliness, this compact hybrid SUV ensures a safe and enjoyable driving experience. Making it an ideal choice for mastering driving skills confidently, stylishly & safely.

Why the 2024 Toyota C-HR?

I chose the Toyota C-HR for driving instruction because it’s the car I trained in while becoming an instructor. I promised myself that once I could invest in it, I would—so my students could experience the same confidence and excitement I felt. This car helps me fulfill my mission of empowering others with the freedom and independence that driving brings, allowing them to go wherever they want, whenever they want, with whomever they choose.

Dual Controls

My car is fitted with a He-Man Dual Brake. As it’s an automatic there is no need for a dual Clutch. However the biggest dual control I have is my mouth!

Client's Kind Words

I have nothing but positive things to say about learning to drive with Marc! He is a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor who made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Thanks to his support and great teaching, I was able to pass my test on the first attempt. His friendly and lighthearted approach made every lesson enjoyable and I’ll genuinely miss our lessons together. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive driving instructor. Thanks, Marc!

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Marc. I highly recommend Marc if you’re looking for a supportive, calm, and encouraging instructor. I was nervous to start doing my lessons, and within 3 months I passed my test first try, and I couldn’t have done this without all of Marc’s help. He has a very unique approach to teaching where he allows the student to lead - he understands and asks how you would like to learn and he adapts his teaching skills to this, example if you learn better by doing, watching, discussing, etc. This was a huge thing for me as Marc’s support in my decisions really increased my confidence on the road. Thank you so much again!

Marc made every moment of learning to drive calm, fun and challenging. He’s so interested in what makes people tick and how to reach them in coaching to get the most and best out of you on your lessons. He’s also chuffed when you nail something so you really feel like you’re in it with him! I’m delighted that I’ve passed my test, first time! Marc was there with me cheerleading and making me breathe. I’m so happy I’ve passed but bittersweet that I won’t have my weekly lessons with Marc! I can’t recommend him enough, if you’re looking for a confident and motivational coach who can provide a calm and fun environment to learn in, then look no further!

I had so much anxiety around driving due to previous experiences and I never saw myself being able to learn to drive again. Not only was Marc able to take away those fears, he helped me gain a lot of self confidence and belief within the 9 months of lessons I had. To be in a position now having passed my test I cannot thank Marc enough, I am so grateful for his motivational words, caring and accommodating attitude and the belief he had in me. For anyone who is a nervous driver I cannot recommend him highly enough, not only will your fears be taken away he will get you into a position to pass your test, something which I never thought was possible, thank you Marc!

Marc is truly such an encouraging, patient and supportive driving instructor! He is super friendly and professional and makes you feel at ease and calm straight away. He is very good at finding the best way to teach that fits with your individual learning style to help you succeed. Marc is an incredibly positive teacher and helps to make learning to drive a positive and fun experience. I wouldn't have been able to pass my test without him! Couldn't recommend him more!

Marc is a fantastic and extremely dedicated driving instructor. I found him professional and incredibly patient throughout our time together. Despite me taking a few attempts to pass my test Marc was dedicated to sticking it out until I finally got there and for that I'm very grateful! We encountered all sorts of crazy going ons on our lessons and it was one hell of a ride! Wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone looking to learn in an automatic.
