I started learning originally in 2019 with a different instructor, but never felt that my nerves were accommodated to. It took me until 2023 to find the confidence to get back into driving and after reading Mark’s reviews I decided to start again with him. I felt that I was never being judged or made to feel stupid even when I made silly mistakes because of my nerves. My confidence grew so much throughout my time learning and it’s all down to him and his patience. I couldn’t recommend Mark more as a driving instructor!

After over a year of lessons, Mark finally managed to get me passed on the second attempt! it’s not been an easy road, many of moments of frustration at myself but he always kept me positive and pushed me on to get to where I am as a driver now. I was such a nervous driver at the beginning and never ever thought I’d get here. couldn’t have done it without Mark and his expert advice and help and always putting up with me and my “jess moments”, he has the patience of a saint and I cannot recommend him enough

Passed first time with Mark, a patient and great teacher, he won’t make you feel bad for making mistakes but instead give you constructive criticism and also give praise when you do things well, so you know you’re doing things correctly. It never feels awkward, it is fun to learn with him, as learning to drive should be. We had a good laugh during my time learning, I’d definitely recommend Mark if you want to learn to drive as he will work with you on the things you aren’t too sure of so you can learn new skills and improve.

Great experience with Mark, couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, always put in the effort for me and got me passed first time in around 2 months with a clean sheet. He is brilliant on test day as he does everything to help with any nerves you may have. Legend, highly recommend.

It’s been a very long journey to get to this point, I’ve had so many ups and downs to the point I ever wonder if I could actually do it. I’ve had 3 other instructors up to this point with Mark being my fourth. When I first started with Mark I still wondered if it was all worthwhile but he gave me a motive he made me enjoy driving and I couldn’t ask for anything better. He helped me understand me as a driver better than anyone could. If you are struggling with driving and in doubt of your ability to drive contact Mark and he will help you through and get you that result we all strive for. Thank you once again Mark for being an excellent instructor and showing me the joys behind the wheel

Can’t thank Mark enough for the effort he has put into me to help me pass today with 0 faults on my first attempt. Really am grateful and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs lessons because he is a high quality instructor. Thank you so much
James Smith
Where do I start, I was in total panic mode after contacting lots of instructors with my test fast approaching and theory running out. I contacted Mark and explained my situation and he could not of helped me more than he did he did an assessment lesson with me and put a plan in place for me to achieve my goal of passing the driving test. I read lots of the reviews Mark has received and I can honestly say they are spot on. Mark has a very unique way of teaching and certainly knows his stuff when it comes to driving and what is required to become a good safe driver. I’ve had other instructors in the past, and Mark is certainly a league above the others. Don’t waste your money going elsewhere go with the best. Once again thanks Mark much appreciated for your expertise and making lesson so much fun.

Mark was amazing from start to finish. With my husband being an older learner Mark made him feel at ease from the first lesson. Mark gives you the confidence and the ability to get you through the test and beyond. Number one driving instructor in our eyes. We’re so lucky and grateful to have found Mark and Alert. Thanks again so much. Will recommend you to everyone.
