Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor, you honestly couldn’t ask for someone better, makes sure you are 100% confident at all times, and makes you feel at ease, and has a very good and unique way of teaching which works. Very friendly and knowledgeable Mark is the guy.

Humble & eager to learn, so RARE nowadays!!
Keep up the good work & I'll be looking for you on the road.
Fantastic experience: Mark was the best instructor, was comfortable from the beginning and my confidence just kept growing, leading me to pass first time.If you want it done right Marks your guy.
Aww Bless, thank you!!
It was great teaching you & especially knowing it'll be put to use in such an admiral way!
I'll be looking out for you both "crusing & saving lives".

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent instructor. I was a slow learner, but over time and with his patience, he was able to make the impossible possible. Would definitely recommend!

As I always say, I can only help and advise you guys, its YOU that has to do the work.
Effort & perseverance, are the ONLY way forward!!
Proof's in the pudding (as they).
Well done & I'll be looking for you, out on the.
Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor would highly recommend to anyone, I started from zero driving experience and managed to pass 1st time thanks to him.
Thank you Kaylem,
as I said, it was a pleasure teaching you.
Not many people nowadays are willing to put in the effort, But as you proven, that POSITIVE attitude, is what produces the results.
KEEP IT UP!!
Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor. Took me from no driving experience to a pass in no time. He has a great way of teaching and filled me with confidence before the test.
Hi Ciaran, thank you for the review and it was a pleasure teaching you.
Putting in all that hard work and practising outside of the lessons guaranteed your pass.
Well done & well deserved!!
I look forward to seeing you on the road .
Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent instructor I was very hesitant and no experience he guided me step by step and shown me different areas not just the test route so I have experience of all the area around. He has given me extra time and patiently explained to me everything in detail and I got my license with 1 minor all thanks to my instructor Mark. Thank you
Thank you Sharoon
As I said, confidence can only be built by experience & overcome with knowledge. Keep up the good work with BOTH & you'll keep rising & surprising yourself & those around you.
Now you can hop from the bike to the car.....
How great is it to now have the choice?!?
I'll be looking out for
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor Mark teaches everything you need to know and beyond Thank you so much for the lessons and your time
Hi Rob,
Thank you for such a nice review, but remember, I can only teach & help.
YOU did the hard work & look...... it paid off.
Congratulations, once again (on your well deserved result) & it was a pleasure teaching you.
Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent driving instructor who is professional and strives for perfection. He is incredibly honest with your progress and focuses on your weaknesses, constantly failing you on your mock tests, only for you to pass your driving test the first time with 3 minors. Another thing that he does is teach you how to drive in real life, not for your driving test. He teaches you things that won’t come up in your driving test but are invaluable when you are actually on the road, and he gives you the confidence to comfortably tackle any situation you come across on the road. Furthermore, he has not only taught myself and my older sister, allowing us to pass first time, but he is also currently in the process of teaching my younger brother, who, I’m sure, under his guidance will also pass with flying colours. I couldn’t ask for a more friendly and reliable instructor.
Thank you Scarlett for such a wonderful review and it was a pleasure teaching. both yourself and your sister.
In regards to my mock test being strict, it is a necessity in order to keep up the high standards of teaching and to ensure you all stay safe when you’re out there driving on your own.
I would hate to hear that any of my students have come to harm, or even worse, injured anyone else.
It was great to hear you managed to get your car so quickly and it looks great.
Well done!
I can’t wait to see you on the road.
Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic driving instructor. He puts you at complete ease when you are behind the wheel. He explains things to you with ease, is clear with his directions and celebrates your successes. I passed because of Mark. Thank you sooo much for everything!
Thank you Ashleigh, for such a wonderful review.
It was a pleasure to teach you & as I said you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
Happy motoring and I can't wait to see you on the road
Fantastic experience: I felt comfortable telling Mark the areas I felt that I needed to work on which helped me improve and pass my test first time with few mistakes
Thank you Arabella.
For me, it was great to see your development & help grow your confidence throughout the process (from start to finish), resulting in such a great outcome.....
PASSING 1st TIME (with only 4 driving faults)..OUTSTANDING!!
Even better still, to know you're driving long distances (to college etc ALREADY)!!
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test today, second time lucky Mark is an excellent instructor he always makes lessons enjoyable rather than it feeling like a chore and is very encouraging even when you make mistakes. 10/10
CONGRATULATIONS Alanis, time go & have MORE fun on the road.
Will be looking out for you
Fantastic experience: Mark is one of the best instructors I could have hoped for. The way he teaches is so practical. If something you have done wrong, he doesn't pull over and take the book and start to teach what's in the book and waste your time. He will teach on the go, which helps to remember what you have done wrong as well as without losing your confidence. I have passed my practicals for the first time with 4 minors. I have already recommended him to my family and friends, and they are also now taking classes with him. He has a Golf GTD, which is a fun car to drive, and compared to other driving schools, his prices are very affordable
Aww, thanks Goutham, for such a wonderful review & yes, My style of teaching is quite unorthodox as I've been told/ Complimented & I do find it to be much more beneficial for the pupils, hence why I have stuck with it.
CONGRATULATIONS For PASSING 1ST TIME ☝
and I look forward to seeing it on the road.
It was a pleasure teaching you
Fantastic experience: excellent instructor and i was able to pass first time. very patient when you’re learning and allows you to learn from mistakes. very friendly guy too
Thank you for the review Harvey and as I said, it was a pleasure to teach you.
Humble, dedicated & look
the results speak for themselves.
WELL DESERVED!! 1-time!!☝️
Fantastic experience: Been on the road for a couple years now after learning and passing (1st time, 3 minors) thanks to Mark & Progression. Highly recommend this driving school - whether you're completely new to driving or have varying levels of experience, Mark's teaching will guide you to the highest level of competence and confidence behind the wheel. Mark is incredibly thorough and professional and will ensure you are fully equipped in both understanding and practical skill to pass your test first time. Massively grateful for the great instruction, patience and feedback I received throughout my lessons and ultimately for this guy helping me achieve a goal a wasn't sure would ever be reality!
Hi Dwayne thank you for such a blinding Review.
Still looking out for you on the road, hope to see you soon.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic comprehensive driving course for all types of learners. Mark is a highly experienced effective teacher. His encouragement and excellent advice was invaluable to my driving test success. Will recommend Mark to anybody who will listen! Thank you Mark
Thank you Harry,
It was my pleasure, great student positive to the end & received exactly what you deserved (with all your hard work).
WELL DONE!! Once again
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, great bloke, highly recommend
Thanks for your review Luke much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Go to Mark if you want to pass.
Thank you for your review Aaron
As I keep saying all I can do is show you the way (advise and help), as you guys that have to PUT IN THE WORK and get the result!
& YOU did (1st TIME☝️), WELL DESERVED!!
Fantastic experience: Had my lessons with Mark who was an amazing teacher and got me to pass first time with only 3 minors! He was really good at assessing where I was weak and get me up to scratch, all while remaining friendly and professional.
Thank you Elliot, enjoyed our lessons also.
Congratulations on smashing your test;
1st time!! ☝️
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Mark. He is patient, methodical, hugely knowledgable and gives great tips for staying safe on the road once you’ve passed. Also good if you lack confidence or get exam nerves. All round top bloke.
Thank you Sarah for such a wonderful review it was a pleasure teaching George.
Also remember it was made a lot easier with the great work done by yourself and your husband giving him private tuition especially through the lockdowns.
So thank you very much and a big pat on the back for all your hard work too
Fantastic experience: Mark was a very good driving instructor who helped me pass first time. Driving was explained very well and he is a very good instructor!
Thank you Ashlyn, it was a pleasure to teach you (so attentive), resulting in that penultimate result.... 1st time pass!! ☝️
Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor! I done an intensive course and passed my practical test in West Wickham. I enjoyed the meticulous mock test and funny anecdotes. Recently, I done my pass plus with Mark where I drove to Brighton on the motorway and we took country roads on the way back. I feel like a very confident driver now. The only con is that the golf has an electronic handbrake. This does make learning to drive easier, but slightly impractical if, like myself, you are going to buy a cheap first car with a manual handbrake. Nonetheless, its a fun car to drive :) Would highly recommend!
Thank you Tanbir.
It was GREAT to see/meet you on the road (driving confidently) & to see you had made the transition to the traditional "manual" handbrake.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor, been very helpful since day I started and enabled me to past first time. Went through a crash course company however were not helpful at all, but Mark had been very supportive and gave me very good guidance throughout the process and at the end passed first time with no minors. Doesn’t waste time and just gets on with teaching you how to drive! Highly recommend Mark and also learn how to drive in his very nice Golf!
Thank you.
It was such a pleasure to teach you!!
Unfortunately MANY of these INTERNET COMPANIES do have a tendency to OVERCHARGE their customers (replying to enquiries/ONLY to take the money) & then, UNDERPAYING us Instructors (leaving US to do EVERYTHING)!!
Fortunately the DVSA are trying their best to eradicate THEM!!
However, when dealing with us PROFESSIONALS, you can be confident in knowing we will always steer our pupils in the RIGHT direction.
This was so much easier with your POSITIVE "Shall NOT give up" attitude.
So RARE nowadays!!!...
Glad to see you've also joined the GTD crew, can't wait to see you!!
All the best & HAPPY MOTORING
Fantastic experience: Passed with Mark first time!! No issues and couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor! He went out of his way to help me pass, I would very highly recommend. Thank you Mark!!
Thank you
It was a pleasure teaching you and don’t forget to give mum some credit, as those lessons helped immensely!!
Happy motoring and I look forward to seeing you on the road.
Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor I could have hoped for. Mark was always very methodical in teaching, and went above and beyond what was required for passing my test in order to help me become a well rounded driver. He always helped to identify areas for improvement, and directed me to resources that I could study at home to help understand further for our next lesson. The lessons flew by as Mark was always up for a good chat and a laugh which helped to steady my nerves at times and build up my confidence. Couldn't recommend him any more highly, I passed 1st time with 2 minors!
Thank you so much for your review Trigg.
It was a pleasure teaching such as well-grounded person & your proactive approach to researching and learning the different topics needed, made the whole experience easier for the both of us.
So glad you got the result you truly DESERVE & I can't wait to see you out there.
CONGRATULATIONS once again. TOP GUY!!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this driving instructor and will honestly recommend him to everyone!
Thank you Boris,

Hope you're not testing ALL Dad's cars out & can't wait to see what you're driving now.
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor, I passed with him, after being with some many driving instructor who kept saying I wasn't ready for my test. I highly recommend him, without a doubt. Money worth spending. Best believe me
Thank you Sean, it was my pleasure.
Remember,in ALL walks of life, there are people that work just for the money & others that are passionate about what they do (& will go the EXTRA MILE), seek out the passionate ones, they'll always look out for YOU & deliver the best results!!
Looking out for ya!!
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Mark enough! A great instructor with so much knowledge and experience and unlike most firms he will be totally honest with you with regards to what you need to pass. if you listen to him you will pass first time it is that simple! A great guy and a great car made the learning experience a pleasure!
Thank you Ian, for such a great review.
It was a pleasure teaching you, being so attentive and focused on fixing the few issues that arose and needed conquering.
WELL DESERVED Pass!!
Smashed it on your first attempt!! ☝
& with hardly a blemish
(shown on your test sheet).
Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic instructor, with great patience. Listen to what he says and you wont have any trouble in passing your driving test. Mark has a great car to use for the lessons, which makes it an enjoyable drive. As long as you want to drive and listen.. you will pass your test :)
Thank you Dean,
it was great teaching you & hopefully an eye opener for the madness that's now out here on the roads.
Hope your licence, along with your determination to succeed has elevated you in your career to, keep us all safe out here.
Constantly looking to see you out here.
Keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: I had previously had a bad experience with my old driving instructor, having been messed about quite a lot and so not making much progress. I then switched to Mark at Progression Driving and within a few months I improved massively. Thanks to Mark I passed my practical driving test first time and am so happy and appreciative of his help. His teaching style hugely improved my confidence on the road, tailoring lessons and driving routes so that they worked to improve on my weaknesses. I highly recommend Mark!
Thank you Rosie,
Unfortunately, I'm coming across a lot of pupils with similar past experiences & this review has rekindled their hope!
Again, I only helped, YOUR determination & ATTENTIVE learning, are the reasons you got the result (PASS), that you deserved/earned.
Fantastic experience: The instructor has been so helpful throughout my driving journey, always encouraging and has never given up hope on me. GREAT INSTRUCTOR HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Thank you Kyah & WELL DONE!!
Still looking out for you (private plate, makes it easier).
Hope you're not harassing mum for that big whip... Lol
Fantastic experience: My Instructor (Mark) was absolutely fabulous. He built on my strengths while identifying my weaknesses and addressing them. He constantly created an environment that was relaxing which made the learning process a blast. When he gave me my mock test, he made me understand the causes and fundamentals of my faults which made them easy to correct. He was professional, studious, knew the driving test route ( which was wonderful) and was very relatable. I must confess that I couldn't have asked for a better guy and Instructor. I highly recommend him!!!
Thank you Ignatius, it was a pleasure.
Best of all, you were humble to learn & didn't allow you driving knowledge (from abroad), hinder your progress.
Although you friends had good intentions, you had the foresight, to learn the proper way & sailed through the Test.
Better still, obtained the MANUAL licence, giving YOU choice!!
Looking out for you
Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor! He is very knowledge about driving and the driving test itself. For years, I have struggled with my confidence while driving and Mark helped me build up my confidence and actually get to a point where I enjoy driving. I still can't believe that I finally have my license :)
Thank you.
As I tell you ALL, driving was invented as a pleasurable pass time, so those that DON'T enjoy it, aren't doing it right (doing TOO much).
It's all about simpifing the procedure & enjoying the journey.
You grasped that well & look at the result.
Well done, well deserved
Fantastic experience: Mark is absolutely amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor, not only did I learn so much, I had a blast doing it! He is wonderful and would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Fantastic experience: Mark is the best teacher ever! I did an intensive course and passed first time, only having had a handful of lessons about 11 years previously. His teaching is impeccable and he is such a lovely guy. I felt really comfortable, despite having been quite nervous about driving beforehand - now I enjoy it so much! Highly recommended.
Congratulations once again Jennifer and thank you for the wonderful review. Look forward to seeing you on the road and I hope you enjoy your Lambo experience.
Fantastic experience: I was recommeded to Mark by a Colleague after failing 3 times with AA, he was absolutely brilliant, teaches you not only how to pass but how to be a good driver, hands down a brilliant driving instructor I would recommend him to anyone !!!!
Thank you Naj & congratulations once again.
Earned your freedom & time to have fun. Look forward to seeing you on the road and take care
Fantastic experience: Great expeirience, great teacher would definetly recommend for both the intensive courses and normal lessons.
Thanks for that Marcus and CONGRATULATIONS once again.
Well done for getting your career on track & enjoy touring the world
Fantastic experience: Mark is a great driving instructor. I passed with only 3 minors and can confidently say that this would not have been achieved without his excellent lessons. He strives for perfection, has a meticulous approach to routines, and provides genuine and honest feedback. Thanks again Mark!
Hi Raza,
Hope all’s well & I look forward to seeing you on the road.
You’ve make me proud and glad your hard work paid off.
Thank you for the review.
Mark
Fantastic experience: Learning how to driving with progression was brilliant! I always felt comfortable telling mark any areas that I was unconfident on and I knew he’d find the best possible way to build up confidence in my weaker areas. It was an all round good experience and I’d defo recommend progression to family and friends!
Hi Luca hope all’s well.
Let me congratulate you once again for conquering your Demon (the Rosehill roundabout) and excellent encouragement comments from the examiner for tackling it like a pro
& thank you for taking the time to post your review.
Hope you’ve got your car sorted and I look forward to seeing you on the road .
