Markus Driving Instructor (MANUAL)

Fantastic experience: After a good 13 years after giving up on lessons, Mark was just what I needed to get back behind the wheel. His patience and skill were very much appreciated. Passed first time and I couldn't have wished for a better instructor.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly guy, got on very well with him, extremely patient with excellent methods of teaching. Better than the conglomerate big companies in my opinion. This guy is your best bet to learn driving and not it be a complete harrowing experience. 5/5.

Fantastic experience: Markus is an absolutely fantastic driving instructor. After having a bad experience with my previous instructor, I was nervous to start lessons again. I’d even adopted a “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to drive” attitude and waited a year to get back on the road! Markus was incredibly patient with me and made me feel totally safe to learn– safe to make (survivable!) mistakes and learn from them. When certain concepts wouldn’t go in, or if I came up against sticking points, he would always find a new way to explain or show me. A few days after I passed my test (yay, go team!) I asked for a lesson in my own car just to get used to the janky old thing and he was able to fit me in quickly and now I feel waaay more confident! I can’t recommend him enough, not only because of his expertise and years of experience but because he made it fun to learn this terrifying skill! Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Mark is incredible at his job, the absolute BEST driving instructor in Hastings. So patient and friendly. He made learning to drive an enjoyable experience, totally different from previous instructors I had. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone looking to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my refresher lessons with Mark after 8 years of not driving. Friendly and relaxed, giving me confidence back on the road, thanks!

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor who gave me a good foundation to then pass my C+E (HGV) test just over a year later.

Fantastic experience: Marks a very good driving instructor he's friendly understanding he never raised his voice during any of my lessons no matter the mistakes I made. He also was happy to help with any questions I had about driving theory or practical, and was also always happy to just have a chat during the more easy and simple parts of lessons. I would say he also planned the lessons well, with them slowly getting more complex as you develop your driving skills. His car also very modern so you get to learn all the new and more complex features of newer cars. I also did always enjoy our lessons.

Fantastic experience: Passed me first time! I enjoyed our lessons. Mark had many phases to help me remember things which really helped. He was also great at explaining why something was safer and not just telling me what to do. his attention to detail had me feeling like I had become a safe driver and not just competent to pass the test. I had lessons with other instructors and he was by far the best. I felt like I learned more in 1 hour with him than 5 hours with the other instructors. Thanks lot Mark.

Fantastic experience: Mark has been the most patient and understanding instructor. I managed to pass first time on my practical test. He’s a very calm /easy going person, even if there were a few moments I’d mess up he never rose his voice or was harsh to me and I’ll forever be grateful for that. I will always always recommend him as an instructor 10001%!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a down to earth, patience and knowledgeable instructor. I would highly recommend, you learn to drive and have a good laugh while doing so.

Fantastic experience: Pleased to say I passed my driving test with Mark as my instructor. After previously failing the test 4 times over 12 years, Mark really helped me to gain my confidence back with driving. He prepares you for real world driving as well as for the test, and was always a really clear and patient teacher - thank you Mark!

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent instructor, friendly and most of all flexible, he was so patient with me and i need to thanks him for pass the test first time.Thank you

Fantastic experience: Markus is an exceptional teacher and an all round lovely guy! He really gets the fundamentals of driving bedded in from the very first lessons and never misses a beat. Incredibly diligent and professional, he’s popular for good reason, but if you’re able to get him your already halfway there!

Fantastic experience: Mark was a fantastic instructor, highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing instructor, always had fun whilst learning and made every lesson worth it. Passed first time with 1 minor, extremely knowledgeable instructor. Even helps to prepare you on the faster roads as an extra. All round amazing instructor, would definitely recommend:)

Fantastic experience: Mark is the best instructor by far! I would recommend him to anyone. He really makes you believe that you can do it! I really struggled with my hill starts as my other instructors never listened to me but Mark did! And we kept trying until eventually I got there! I’m proud to say I passed and I couldn’t have done it without Marks help. Would really recommend him to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Mark is a knowledgeable and thorough driving instructor with a wealth of theoretical and practical teaching experience. He was able to provide me with comprehensive instruction throughout my lesson program. I have become a confident and skilled driver thanks to my work with Mark.

Fantastic experience: Learnt and understood more in a day on my pass plus than I did with my (different) driving instructor over a year. I find it useful to learn in a visual way, in which case Mark is the man for you! Calm, enthusiastic and reassuring. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic driving instructor, I would recommend him to anyone! I had quite a few anxieties about learning to drive again, after a break of over 11 years, but Mark's clear explanations and calm manner really helped me. I feel like I learnt to be a safer driver, and not just how to pass the test. He has a good sense of humour and I am forever grateful!

Fantastic experience: I've had my license for a long time, but I needed some help with gaining confidence in certain areas. I can't recommend Markus highly enough - super-friendly, very clear and helpful instruction. I'll definitely be in touch again if I feel I need it. Thank you Markus!

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor passed 1st time !

Fantastic experience: It was a delightful experience having Mark as my instructor. He pointed my faults and corrected them accordingly. He was very helpful and accommodating with my requests and questions. Mark made me feel at ease and confident during my lessons, he was always friendly but at the same time professional with his work. I am glad I did my driving lessons with him.

Fantastic experience: I had a couple of driving instructors before Mark and none of them made me feel as comfortable in the driving seat as him! Very relaxed yet on point with how he teaches, great professional/personal connection. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Great guy, fantastic teacher. Excellently singles in on what you're doing wrong and succinctly describes how to improve. Easy to arrange with, great car to learn in, always shows up and gives you his all. Couldn't recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Mark taught both my children to drive and both thought he was great. Always flexible and helpful I could not recommend him more highly. Thanks Mark!

Fantastic experience: Markus was an awesome instructor, he was recommended to me and so glad I decided to learn with him. He was patient with me yet he encouraged me when I needed it! Very chilled out guy, so makes you feel super comfortable when learning to drive! Couldn’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Mark was Fantastic, I had been with RED, and not had a good time, mark started form scratch and I passed in less time than I’d spent with red, he was fantastic every step of the way, so calm and patient thought, wouldnt recommend anyone else!!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Markus as a driving instructor, he was always supportive and his schedule was flexible to fit around school and other commitments. He made learning to drive fun and much less daunting than it could have been. Markus is also a thoroughly nice bloke- friendly, enthusiastic and ever cheerful- an added bonus when you’re spending so long in a car with someone.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor! Very professional yet at the same time like learning with a friend. I've recommended Markus to family and friends and will continue to do so

Fantastic experience: Can't speak highly enough. Markus is very patient and calm. Professional at all times but also humurous and very flexible and worked round me rather than the other way round. I as an older first time driver didn't find driving easy but Markus instilled confidence quickly. When I passed I was delighted but in fact missed his great company and our lesson time.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Mark through a friend and was really pleased I had him as my driving instructor. He was patient, informative and you never felt like he was pushing for more sessions. When you were ready for the test he would tell you straight out. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I passed first time ;) couldn’t of done it with out Marks help. He’s Patient and easy to get along with which is important. I’ve had driving instructors in the past that made me feel so anxious, but I felt confident and comfortable with Mark. Thank you again, So far so good no speeding tickets ;)

Fantastic experience: Markus has been the best instructor. I was very nervous about driving but Markus taught me very well and my confidence came on loads. Im almost sad i dont need an instructor anymore as he is a very nice, comfortable person to be around. Thanks for my independence :)

Fantastic experience: A great instructor, very patient and able to adapt to anyone he teaches. Always up for a laugh, and his books aren't that bad either ;). No matter how long it takes you he'll always be there to help with answers and helpful tips too. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Markus and he is without a doubt one of the best driving instructors I had ever met. His fun filled attitude and humour towards keeping you relaxed behind the wheel made every driving lesson a very stress free experience. He has a knack for just understanding what you find difficult and how to overcome it. Even when not behind the wheel, he gives that extra hand on revising for your theory test, showing you everything about the car beyond the text books and even waiting with you to be called for your driving test. I also did pass plus with Markus and I’d highly recommend it, even if motorways are now the standard in lessons. It just gives you that drivers confidence and he definitely makes sure of it! It’s the little things like that, make the greatest instructors. Highly recommend to anyone no matter your driving skill!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, easy to get along with and if you put the effort in he will pass you 1st time. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I brought the 30hr package and I managed to pass first time with only 8 minors and I wouldn’t of been able to do that without Mark! He is a brilliant instructor. I had been with two instructors previously and Mark is by far the best! Before I would complain I couldn’t park because I wasn’t taught right and after the first lesson of parking I was amazed at how easy it really was once being taught right! I would highly recommend mark, not only is he a great instructor he’s also very patient, chatty and understanding! Thank you so much Mark!!

Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor ever!

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent driving instructor, I highly recommend him. He is fun and friendly at the same time professional and informative. He put me at ease every lesson. I passed both theory and practical first time and this was totally down to him and his teaching. Five stars without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having Mark as my instructor roughly 4 years ago. The lessons I had were always interesting, I easily sat through a couple of 4 hour lessons which never had a dull moment. Mark is a great teacher who has many tricks up his sleeve to help you pass your test and learn the rules of the road. Mark is great to have a conversation with whilst learning which really enhances the lessons in to a more realistic scenario. I often found myself talking about the latest episode of a TV show or music with Mark. I can't thank Mark enough for creating the driver I am today.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Mark enough as a driving instructor. He is the perfect mix of professional and friendly. I was very anxious about driving at first but he knew how to make me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: I was a nervous first-time driver but Markus's patience and kindness made the learning experience a genuine pleasure. And thanks to Markus, I passed my test first time with a clean sheet - no minors! I have been recommending him for years now and will continue to do so. If you're starting driving lessons, look no further because you just found the best instructor you could ever hope for.

Fantastic experience: What can I say, Markus is a great instructor and taught me many years ago. I'm now a successful driving driving instructor in a different part of the country and a lot of that is because of Markus. Top guy, top instructor, would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, got me through it first time round and has a great taste in music!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mark to anyone learning to drive. He’s a brilliant instructor; encouraging, positive and full of energy. He’s greatly accommodating for lesson times meaning I could tailor hour or two hour lessons around school and his calm and friendly persona made learning to drive far more stress-free. Truly couldn’t recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: I passed first time and would like to highly recommend Mark! At the age of 38 my circumstances changed and I needed to learn to drive asap! Having only had a few lessons at age 18 I had no idea and needed to start from scratch. After contacting Mark initially I got a good feeling, he was relaxed, super kind and easy to speak with. Obviously I was very nervous for my first lesson, upon meeting Mark I was put at ease straight away, he instantly made me feel at ease and also has great banter (which believe me really helps when your nervous)! After covering my history, Mark's history and the general working of a car (again, very useful) within an hour of my first lesson I was in the driving seat and off! My hours of work can change week on week, I had my 'set' weekly booking but Mark was very flexible and accommodating with this and being able to have Saturday lessons at no 'weekend enhanced' rate was amazing too. I passed early Jan 2020 after a total of 6 months of driving and haven't looked back. I would 100% tell you to get in touch with Mark, fantastic driving instructor and genuinely great guy!

Fantastic experience: Markus is a fantastic instructor who made me feel at ease from the very first lesson to the last with his positive and encouraging attitude, excellent coaching skills (both theory and practical) and endless patience! As an older learner, I was very pleased with how quickly I was ready for the tests and I never felt I was pushed to take more lessons than I needed. I focused on doing double lessons each time, which increased my confidence and enabled me to progress much faster than I expected. As a result, I passed both tests first time and would highly recommend Markus as your instructor!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor. Patient, knowledgeable and a lovely person! Helped me pass way more quickly than I was expecting! 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a phenomenal driving instructor! He teaches you at your own pace and learning style. I strongly reccomend Mark to be your driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, good fun and gets you to the point of passing first time in not too many lessons! Very clearly cares about his students and their progress during the lessons so would definitely recommend. You can easily pass quickly with mark as your instructor!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing driving instructor! Mark found the weirdest and funniest ways to get me to remember things, and they are good habits I still have years after passing (first time, I might add). He always makes you feel at ease and after the occasional moment of panic (because of other drivers' behaviour) he would always be able to quickly calm me down and get me laughing again - I couldn't have felt more comfortable. Would highly recommend to everyone (and have done!).

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend mark he is a lovely man brilliant at teaching and I couldn’t fault him, If you are a really nervous driver he will have you relaxed in no time as he is so calm and patient and does not rush you. Please don’t hesitate in calling him as he won’t let you down!

Fantastic experience: Top notch driving instructor, clear and concise guidance. Great knowledge of the roads and wonderful little diagrams to help with learning the correct lanes at complex roadabouts and junctions. Also a lovely chap, with great chat. Never had a boring lesson with him, and Mark stuck by me and saw me through to passing. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: very friendly and professional was a pleasure to learn with mark would recommend him to any one,

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor! Very patient and helped me pass with ease!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time learning to drive with Mark. He was brilliant at helping me to overcome my nerves and gain confidence behind the wheel. This combined with his great sense of humour made him a great instructor. My current job involves driving in and out of London on an almost daily basis, which would not have been possible without Mark's superb lessons.

Fantastic experience: I was a really nervous to start driving lessons once I had turned 17, Mark honestly made driving so fun for me. He would take the pressure off whenever you start to feel flustered as a new driver, I ended up passing first time. To add to this Mark is so funny and easy to get along with you start looking forward to your driving lessons each week, I couldn’t recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Mark more highly. He replied astonishingly quickly to my initial enquiry about an intensive driving course, and formulated a very well thought-out programme of lessons, building up to the test and accommodating my own work schedule. As an older (41yo) learner, initially rather insecure, I didn't expect to pass the practical test first time. But thanks to Mark that's exactly what I did. I was immmediately impressed by his alertness and energy about spotting issues and sorting them out as quickly as possible with just the right piece of clever advice. He generated a really friendly atmosphere of positivity and constant progress, and, along the way, we had some very interesting, funny, and memorable conversations: ranging all the way from music and philosophy, to zombies!
