Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

It is one thing to be a teacher and another to be a coach, the difference being one of them is merely a guide through the occasion. It is without a doubt that I can declare Mark a coach to such matter, a person who follows your progress personally and professionally, all whilst giving you valuable advice and instructions. You can expect Mark to keep you safe on the road and tutor you with his best effort so all you need to do is clear your head and Mark will take care of the rest. Ever so grateful for passing on my first attempt.

Mark put me at ease right from my first lesson and knows how to adjust his lessons so you get the most out of your time. Mark got me to a pass where my previous instructor made me feel like a failure.

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.

After a 2 year gap between passing my test and driving for the first time, Mark gave me the confidence to restart driving again. I have experience with a handful of other instructors prior to Mark, and I can hand on heart say that he was the best by far. Mark made everything very easy to understand and was calm, friendly and full of praise the entire time. I cannot thank him enough for the invaluable lessons he gave me.

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.

Mark was my favourite driving instructor I’ve had by far. His manner put me at ease straight away and he clearly put a lot of thought and effort into structuring the lesson in a way which gave the best possible result. I passed, so that was obviously a good result, but the process of getting there was surprisingly enjoyable thanks to Mark.

Hi mate. Thanks very much for all your help and support with getting Will on the road. You didn’t just teach him to pass his test you imparted wisdom and knowledge that will set him up for all of his life.

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!

I recently passed my minibus driving test with Mark teaching me and showing me the ropes. He has a very helpful and guiding style of teaching and a unique personality that helps when you’re driving for 6 hours a day as it never gets boring. Mark got rid of my bad habits and improved the quality of my driving so by the time it got to my test I felt 100% ready for it.

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.
