Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

From reading all of Marks feedback on his website I feel  there is not much more to be said about mark, because I can honestly say I have not met another driving instructor like him. He is calm in any situation and he does not allow pressure to affect the who he is teaching. Mark really excels himself when he builds up your fundamental driving skill because he gives very clear and precise instructions to do exactly what you need to do. Mark progresses the lessons at the learners speed and development.

I would recommend Mark to anybody I know no matter the skill level or if they are nervous or they say I can’t drive. Mark will overcome all of their fears. The advice Mark gives you when you are diving is not just for the test’ it makes you become a better driver after you have passed.

I honestly say I would not be able to do the amount of outdoor adventure activities I do today with young people around Norfolk without Mark.

Also, Mark has got the best jokes in the business.

Thanks for everything Mark.

Mark has a kind and supportive instructing style that genuinely helps to build up your confidence in your own driving ability. He is easy company in the car, immediately putting you at ease. Aswell as being upfront and honest about what needs improving, he is quick to pick up on what you’ve done well. Mark will push you to be the best driver you can be, while offering continual reassurance and a “you can do it” attitude. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of driving, while communicating this in a way that is easy to understand and put into practice. All round, a very excellent instructo

I feel privileged and delighted to have had Mark as a driving instructor. Mark taught me from start to finish and allowed me to develop and improve at my own pace. I really struggled at first but ended up passing with only two minor faults. I would highly recommend Mark as a driving instructor. I felt completely comfortable in his car from the get go. The way Mark taught the lessons were at the perfect pace, controlled and incredibly clear on what I should do to progress. It couldn’t have been made any better. His patient and methodical approach to teaching helped me to gain the driving skills, not just to pass the test, but for life! Thank you ever so much, Mark.

Mark was very flexible and helpful when arranging the theory test and delivery of the DVD and relevant book as a learning resource to my house – that’s before even meeting him! He adapted the driver training to my individual needs, experience and ability which was based on clear experience. I was fully prepared for the test (which was passed first time!) which was aided through good selection of routes when learning and honesty throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Mark and am already looking at booking another category license in!

Mark was the most calm & kind instructor. As someone who suffered a lot from nerves, especially when learning to drive, I found his teaching methods very supportive & encouraging, & as proof of their validity, I have now passed my test!!! Mark made everything easy to understand & made sure in every way possible, that I was prepared for my test, mentally & practically & we even had some laughter a long the way. I’d recommend him to anyone.

When Mark was teaching me to drive he was very patient, never showed nerves or negativity and was always calm and friendly. This put me at ease and helped me immensely, especially as he allowed my 6 month old daughter on all my lessons! I have recommended mark to all my friends.

Thank you for everything, being a motorcyclist for the past 4 years I proved to be a challenge for Mark, bringing lots of bad motorcycling habits to the steering wheel was certainly worth a giggle, but nonetheless Mark trained them out of me and got me through my test with flying colours! Excellent instructor, full of knowledge and experience, he’s got a license for nearly everything, possibly even for a tank! I can’t rate him enough, incredibly patient, and also being a fellow motorcyclist and instructor I got on extremely well with him and he understood me because of it, which was an issue I had with past instructors! Extremely grateful for everything hes done for me, even having a driving lesson the day after Christmas! Service is spot on, Ill always recommend him! Corny jokes also included in the service at no extra cost! Thanks again Mark!

Mark has done an amazing job teaching my son to drive with a semi-intensive 11 weeks from the first lesson to pass date!! He has a fabulous sense of humor so he put my son at ease straight away while being happy to keep myself informed of how well my son was getting on. Because he was such an amazing teacher, my son’s test was brought forward 6 weeks. My son is also a confident lad so this helped him. I, on the other hand, was a bag of nerves on the actual test day, But, as ever, Mark kept the nervous mummy informed of the start and finish of my son;s test via text message and even let my son borrow his phone to ring me once he passed as his own mobile was broken. My son is now about to embark on his trailer license with Mark. I highly recommend him for all types of ability.

I worked with Mark over a period of several months when attempting to achieve my D1 license. Mark was always very approachable, supportive and helpful despite (to begin with) having never met. I was provided with all of the resources I needed in order to be prepared for the theoretical side of my D1 and if I ever needed any help or clarification, I always found Mark to be approachable both via email or telephone. Once I had passed my theory I was able to receive some lessons in the vehicle itself. Mark was very honest and helped me to refine my skills so that I was prepared for my test. I think it would be fair to say that after 10 years of driving my car, I had developed some bad habits but with his supervision and guidance, Mark was able to teach me some new things and refine some old so I was able to pass my D1 test first time around.
I very much valued the support and lessons I received, and I would highly recommend Mark as a driving instructor.

In times where people are extremely quick to focus on negatives it gives me great pleasure to give praise where it is due!! I am a secondary school teacher and am very impressed with Mark’s abilities to get the best out of you! He is extremely helpful and was able to get me to test standard in a short time. After spending two days on the road with Mark I passed my PCV test with two minors. Excellent work Mark and many thanks!!
