Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

Mark is a real people person and understands your specific needs as a learner driver. He is a great teacher and knows how to get the message across in a positive way. His calm nature and occasionally wicked sense of humor puts you at ease behind the wheel and his honesty means that when he says your ready, there’s a good chance he’s right.

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!

Passed my cat B+E test today with only 4 minors which I was quite pleased with. I enjoyed working with Mark as I also did my cat B test with him and I also plan to do my cat c with him. This will also give me cat c1 which I will be getting my mum to pay for it as she loves me lots! The overall teaching grade I would give Mark is a solid 10 because you can have a laugh with him and still learn. He’s a nice guy and buys you food adn a snack every now and then. I see him as more of a friend than a driving instructor because he’s casual.

Thank you Mark, could not have done it without you.

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.

Mark is a great instructor working to the pace of the learner but stretching them in a positive way to ensure timely passing of their practical tests. I have used Mark for D1 and +E training of drivers whilst I was Transport Manager at Gresham’s School and privately my Daughter and now my son for their cat B tests. Thanks Mark.

Thank you very very much indeed. You are an excellent driving instructor I have met. Thanks for always being kind to me and teaching me properly having realized my weak points. In a short period of time you taught me everything needed and encouraged me when I was disappointed with two other instructors before I came to you. but for your help and guidance I don’t think I would have been able to make it. you are a divine.

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 is a really nice guy he knows his stuff when it comes to driving and vehicles he is calm and collected and always up for a laugh

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.
