Testimonies

I first began learning to drive a few years ago with a different instructor. Everytime I was 
behind the wheel I was nervous and not confident about driving. I passed my theory test 
but then I witnessed a car accident involving a pedestrian. That put me off driving for ages 
and I didnt have any more lessons. Last year I realised I needed to be able to drive. I was 
incredibly nervous but I found Mark very reassuring. He was encouraging and constructive 
at the same time. I soon gained confidence in driving and looked forward to my lessons with 
Mark. Mark was very calm (even when I first got behind the wheel!) and very clear in his 
instructions. When it came to take my test Mark pushed the boat out to ensure I felt confident 
and prepared. I passed at my first attempt. A few months later I came back to Mark so I
could take the Pass Plus Course!

After being let down by a cheaper instructor who failed to turn up for my lesson,

I got in touch with Mark. From my first lesson with him, all the way through to completing
my Pass Plus, he never let me down and was always on time. Mark is very reassuring,
which is great for us nervous types! He is calm and very patient. If I made a mistake
(there were many!), he didn't make me feel stupid or embarrassed. Mark is also a very
thorough instructor and he won't let you rest in your comfort zone, he pushes you just
enough to make fast progress. I have never been taught by another instructor, so I can't
compare him to others, but what I do know is that I have been in cars with other drivers
who have been taught by cheaper, more widely known driving schools and their driving
skills have just not been up to par! One example, I was recently a passenger of a driver
who didn't know how to reverse bay park because their driving instructor said, "You don't
need to know that, because you won't get tested on that" at a particular driving test centre!
Need I say more?! Learning to drive has literally changed my life and it's all thanks to Mark!
 
P.S. He has a wicked sense of humour! :D

I'm so glad I had that Pass Plus lesson in the snow Mark! It's just taken me 4 hours 
to drive home from Bromborough and I didn't skid once.

I and my family are over the moon with the help and preparation I received from you. 
I was surprised to realise how many habitual faults I had in my driving. 
You did a great job in eradicating them for me. Kudos to you and thank you.
 
 Kind regards

I found Mark to be very professional, patient and a reliable driving instructor. His
instructions were clear and easy to understand, which made the whole experience of 
learning to drive less stressful than I thought it would be. Mark was able to push me 
to the best of my ability and now I have my licence and passed first time!

From my first lesson with Mark I could tell that he was very professional and knowledgeable, 
this enabled me to gain confidence quickly. I felt very safe in the car with Mark as his instructions 
were both clear and delivered in a calm manner. Mark was always punctual. 
I would recommend Mark to anyone looking to pass with confidence. 
Once again thank you.

I first started to learn to drive 10 years ago. I began in a manual car however during 
that time I had 3 driving instructors, none of them could seem to teach me to drive. 
This I found very disheartening. I thought I am doomed never to learn to drive a car. 
However I then decided to learn in an automatic, this took me 2 years to pass. 
I have been a driver now for 10 years, I decided its about time I learnt in a manual car 
as I have many reason for this. One is that I am restricted to only driving autos only 
and they are good to drive but, in the bad weather they are not. I started with a instructor 
from an other driving school he could not seem to teach me. I thought that's it 
am never going to learn there must be something wrong with me after 10 years I still can't 
drive a manual car. I then decided to give it one more last chance. So I started 
learning to drive with Mark. This was the best thing I have ever done. Within the first l
esson I was driving I could not believe it, yes I made lots and lots of mistakes but 
Mark was so helpful he made me feel relaxed and at ease. He has a natural way about him. 
He is not false, he is just himself. He is not out to make money from you, he 
wants to help you pass and will accommodate your needs, he is not patronising, he is very
 professional at all times. He is always punctual and reliable. He will teach you 
at your own pace as he will not rush you . Within 5 months I am now up to test 
standard and am due to take my test, (passed 13 May 2010). If after reading this that anyone thinks 
that this has not been written by a pupil then Mark has my permission to put you in touch 
with me direct. I can't thank you enough Mark for every thing as you are the only one 
that has taught me to drive a manual car. You don't realise how much this means to me. 
Thank you so much.

I was really excited to start my driving lessons and booked them straight away after my 17th.
I was slightly nervous, but Mark was very friendly and took me through step by step.
A lot of my friends were taking driving lessons at the same time as me, and their lessons cost a fortune.
Mine were a great price and Mark was always able to fit me around my college schedule.
I would definitely recommend Marc as he is never late to a lesson, 
has a funny sense of humour and is always willing to push you into succeeding. Cheers Mark

Its a shame I was only able to spend 10 hours with Mark as I think he is the best instructor 
I have ever come across. From the very first lesson we had I could see him paying attention 
to my character and my style of learning... He applied what he saw and took it in to account 
in all of my lessons. The main thing I am grateful for is the confidence he has helped me gain. 
Mark is always on time usually early and very respectful during the lesson. Thank you Mark I 
hope I manage to find another instructor as good as you!

I was only able to teach Anna for 10 hours because she is now living somewhere else.
 
Anna passed her driving test first time about 6 weeks later.
 
 
Even in my first lesson with Mark, he made me feel relaxed and calm (as calm as you 
can be when first driving...) and I always felt safe when under his tuition and 
supervision. As well as being an extremely professional and reliable driving 
instructor, he is also a great person to get on with and talk to, making the 
overall learning process more enjoyable and less stressful. Thanks to Mark I 
have the knowledge and ability to drive safely and with confidence, 
and the preparation I received for the test (and all the driving I was planning 
on doing afterwards) was second to none. I'd recommend him to anyone who is 
looking to learn to drive confidently and pass first time."
