Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

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 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.

Hi my names Andrew and I recently did my d1 license which Mark helped me obtain. He was very patient and helped me iron out my bad habits he coached all the way through till the end which I ended up passing 1st time. I would most certainly recommend Mark too any one wishing too obtain there driving license.

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’s instruction is certainly thorough, making sure all the bits you need to know, you know. Inspiring confidence in my driving, knowing I was ready for my test when it came about. So glad Mark was recommended to me. A job well done.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
