Fantastic experience: I came to mark after picking up bad habits with another instructor and worked with him to pass my test. although because of Corona virus, lessons and tests have been allover the place, mark does his best to accommodate you! Being someone who suffers with nerves behind the wheel, Mark managed to make me believe that I was capable and not to panic. Mark's a friendly, approachable guy with tonnes of knowledge for all levels of learners. I have no bad things to say about the lessons and have the luxury of being able to compare to other instructors. If you're looking to finally learn, Mark is a great choice and a great chap ✌️
Its be a pleasure to teach you and I look forward to hearing where your licence gets you when you set off on your travels. All the best and enjoy the freedom.
