Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

You’re a professional polite guy that’s great at getting good results.

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 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

Another great result with Mark. He was incredibly flexible in organising the CPC at really short notice and made sure that everything was in place for me to feel comfortable going into the test. Thanks again Ma

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.

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! For everything you have done fir me! Being patient throughout all my lessons & for teaching me one of the most important skills I will need! Thank you for being a fab teacher! I really appreciate it.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
