Meet Marc - Driver Trainer

Driving Instructor Crawley, West Sussex

I’m Marc, founder of BENCHMARC. Thank you so much for considering me to be your driving instructor, I’m extremely grateful!

I’m a qualified driving instructor with training in nervous and anxious drivers. I’m trained in The Drive Calm System to help Nervous & Anxious Drivers. Trained by Kev & Tracey Field through Confident Drivers.

I’m Neurodiverse and for a long time battled with why I found it difficult to fit in. Once I understood that it’s all genetic and how I’m biologically wired, I just decided to surrender and accept that this is who I am. I am now making MASSIVE progress in my life personally and professionally, and have learnt countless skills & techniques to Thrive in life and to make me more aware of my disempowering triggers.

I specialise in serving those who need extra support, who have been through several instructors and want to fulfill their full potential. Driving should be fun! So having an immersive, progressive & let’s go attitude in the car is a must and will help the learning process MASSIVELY. Not only will you enjoy your time behind the wheel, you’ll also be able to transfer the skills you’ve learnt back into daily life. You’ll be amazed at how rewarding driving is and you’ll feel all the better for it.

Please feel free to ask any questions, and I look forward to helping you set your BENCHMARC on your driving journey!

Why me?

Driving Instructor Crawley, West Sussex

I love serving & helping everyone I share the car with so they can learn a rite of passage. But what really excites me is to help everyone learn to be in control of what can be controlled, and to also accept everything that they can’t control. Which is pretty much everything, except for what we think, say and do. And what we do is what we’re then remembered for.

'To be comfortable, first you need to feel uncomfortable and push beyond your limits when you're ready, that's when true growth and progress takes place!'

I approach every person and lesson to suit what they need. I will never make anyone do something they don’t want to do. But I will always challenge, encourage and help you to be the best version of yourself every step of the way. There will be ups and downs, but it is all part of the journey whilst you progress towards freedom. I take it at your pace, and you call the shots! I’ll guide you, and keep you on the right track but ultimately it’s up to you to decide what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and where you want to go.

My Background

The history of a Driving Instructor in Crawley

Being a Driving Instructor (or Driver Trainer as I like to see myself) is in my blood. My grandad was a Driving instructor back in the 80’s & 90’s and my cousin has just started his road to retirement after being a Driving Instructor for almost 40 years.

Before becoming a Driving Instructor my professional career consisted of various sales & management roles. With the bulk of it working as a Sales Manager in mobile phones (3 & O2) & beds (Dreams). I really enjoyed my time in sales & management, learning many skills, meeting amazing people but never really felt fulfilled. Then during lockdown in 2020 I decided to make the most of an opportunity, and start my venture in to becoming a Driving Coach and qualified in 2021.

BENCHMARC was born at the beginning of 2023 (my wife came up with the name so I can’t take credit for that!). I’m a Dad to 2 girls, and a husband to my better half. Family comes first and my lifestyle now allows me to focus more on them. And it has also helped me to be completely immersed & engaged with my trainees when on the road.
