Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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!!
