Learning to drive should feel comfortable and supportive.
We’re Noemi and Carlos Martens—a mother-and-son, MPI-certified driving school right here in Steinbach. Whether you’re a nervous beginner, an adult learning for the first time, or preparing for your road test, we teach at your pace in a calm, patient environment.
Who You’ll Be Driving With
We’re a local, family-run driving school right here in Steinbach. Every lesson is private, 1-on-1, and taught directly by Noemi or Carlos.
Hi, I’m Noemi. Alongside running Martens Driving School, I’m an active Manitoba high school teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience. Teaching is what I truly love, and I believe learning to drive should never involve yelling, pressure, or feeling embarrassed. I specialize in working with nervous beginners and adult learners, creating a patient, step-by-step space where you can relax and build genuine confidence behind the wheel.
Hi, I’m Carlos. My focus is on clear, practical, hands-on driving skills that prepare you for the real world—not just passing a test. Whether we’re practicing Steinbach intersections, highway merging on Highway 12, parallel parking, or mastering the core maneuvers evaluated on the MPI road test, I keep lessons calm and structured so you always know what to expect.
