Great instructor, easy to get on with and puts you at ease. Doesn’t make you feel like an idiot if you get things wrong just calmly explains why and how to fix it. I was a really nervous driver and he got me through my test! .

It was a fantastic experience learning with Mark Walsh. I learnt in my own time different manoeuvres and he always had the patience, whenever I would make a driving fault, he would give me time to think about it and help me understand the reasons of why it is a driving fault and how to avoid it next time. This has really helped me. With his help I managed to pass my driving test first time.
Response : Thanks megan, appreciate the kind words.

Mark is an amazing driving instructor, always explains everything in a very easy to digest way while not giving you the complete answer but nudging you towards the correct answer so you learn to think for yourself, whether it’s about the high way code or situation that present themselves while driving he might be one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve met and his calm and friendly attitude makes it so much easier to not get overwhelmed by anything that may come your way while learning Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to teach me how to drive.
Response : Wow, thanks for a great testimonial.

Mark goes above and beyond in keeping you as a learner, calm and collected. Throughout my experience, as much as he teaches you ways to cope with situations and the ins and outs of the car he does so in a way were the answers aren’t just given to you but you are guided to answer the questions. Meaning you are actually learning to think for yourself and putting 2 and 2 together. Not only the learning is top quality but it doesn’t feel like you’re being judged or like you have a teacher on you at all times, it’s a more friendly approach so you feel more comfortable and less stressed. Made my learning experience a lot more fun than stress! If I was to learn to drive again in a different life I’d choose mark!

A big thank you to my instructor Mark Walsh he is very patient, understanding, professional and a good motivator. He has a joke with you from time to time to make you feel relaxed. Very friendly and good a listener. He will not only teach you to pass your driving test but to be a good driver.
