Welcome to Marks Driver Academy

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!!

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 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.

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

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.

I couldn’t have passed my driving test without Mark, not only has he improved my driving but he has also changed the way I feel about driving. He showed high levels of patience with me and I always felt relaxed in my lessons with him (apart from the odd hill start), massive thank you to Mark for getting me on the road with only 1 minor 🙂

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 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.

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.

From reading all of Marks feedback on his website I feel  there is not much more to be said about mark, because I can honestly say I have not met another driving instructor like him. He is calm in any situation and he does not allow pressure to affect the who he is teaching. Mark really excels himself when he builds up your fundamental driving skill because he gives very clear and precise instructions to do exactly what you need to do. Mark progresses the lessons at the learners speed and development.

I would recommend Mark to anybody I know no matter the skill level or if they are nervous or they say I can’t drive. Mark will overcome all of their fears. The advice Mark gives you when you are diving is not just for the test’ it makes you become a better driver after you have passed.

I honestly say I would not be able to do the amount of outdoor adventure activities I do today with young people around Norfolk without Mark.

Also, Mark has got the best jokes in the business.

Thanks for everything Mark.
