Mark took what was a very scary experience at the start and made it something I looked forward to every week. I passed first time thanks to Mark and I can't thank him enough.

100% recommend Mark for teaching someone to drive. I started out a nervous wreck on day one but he was understanding and patient with me from the very start. Uses all sorts of methods to prep you for your next lessons through videos and recommendations of what to look into. Got me through my test last month and couldn't have asked for anyone better.

I was very nervous about driving, however, Mark immediately reassured me and gave me the confidence and knowledge to develop my skills. His commitment to his customers is outstanding and the resources he provided for me, including video summaries, were above and beyond expectations. Mark is very patient and understanding I appreciated immensely his emphasis on safety and road awareness. I do not think I would enjoy driving so much if it wasn't for this approach. I would recommend Mark to anyone considering to learn driving and couldn't be more thankful to him.

I would 100% recommend Mark if you're looking for someone to put you at ease when you're learning. Nerves and lack of confidence are my weakest points. Mark was calm, patient, very understanding and so easy to talk to. He picked up on my learning style and tailored the lessons to how I learn and understand best. With my very tight work schedule Mark managed to give me the same day and time slot for my lessons every week which was a great help! He had so much confidence in me even when I didnt he gave me the boost I needed and I passed first time! His tips/tricks and videos are a great help, he was always a text message away if I needed anything.

I can highly recommend Mark as an instructor. His friendly, professional demeanour put me at ease and he was always available to provide me with answers when I texted him with driving questions. He helped me through my theory and practical tests. I passed with zero faults and I couldn’t have done it without Mark. I have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Mark? .

Well I can’t thank Mark enough for getting me through my test. I started my lessons a nervous quivering wreck and from the start Mark is the most calming, encouraging instructor. I had lessons when I was young and let them slip so going back to them at 48 years of age I didn’t expect much. Passed first time with one minor. I looked forward to every lesson. (A bonus driving an Audi as well) He pushed me to believe in myself. Mark has all of the tools, help and advice to get the best out of you. Thank you Mark for helping me achieve something I spent years dreaming about.

Best thing I ever done doing my lessons and mark is so patient, calm and very reassuring which is helpful as he keeps you calm under stressful situations…. Passed first time with the help of my driving instructor Mark who is in my opinion one of the best in his profession. Would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to start their lessons.

Mark is an amazing instructor. He teaches in a calm and structured way that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Even if you don't grasp something straight away you'll never feel like you're being told off, just guided in the right direction. Mark moves lessons along at your pace and progresses things along only when you're ready. Honestly I can't thank him enough.
