Fantastic experience: I will continue to highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking automatic driving lessons. His professionalism, reliability and expert tuition made learning to drive ideal for my daughters. Mark's genuinely caring manner towards his pupils' progress and the confidence he builds up in them were much appreciated. Also his sense of humour and patient attitude made their lessons productive and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Mark is by far the best driving instructor I have encountered. He’s professional, helpful and knowledgeable but he is also personable and he can have a laugh (which is SO important when you’re learning to drive!) Mark makes you feel at ease and he patiently explains theories and breaks them down visually, I found this extremely helpful personally, as I’m a visual learner, so it helped me digest more of the information provided. Mark is also just an all round great guy and I would 100% recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Also, I passed first time! Both theory and practical! Which is fully down to Mark being great at his job. Get booked in with Oaks Driving School, you won’t regret it! :)

Alix Olivia 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to start or continue their lessons. I had started my lessons with a different company and then changed to Oaks and it was probably the best decision! He goes into detail about everything you need to know, helps you on an app with your theory and even gives you a laminated copy of the questions they will ask on your test! He's very friendly and at first I was worried I wouldn't be comfortable with a Male instructor but he really made it easy to feal at ease in his car and every lesson was a great laugh. I passed first time with only 2 minor faults and I can't wait to get back onto the road! Thank you so much!

Lisa Davies 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've waited till my late 30's to learn to drive. As a result both nerves and self doubt have been very prominent. However Mark has been both patient, encouraging and his witty jokes along the way have made the learning experience an enjoyable one! Mark also teaches above the normal standard of driving and as a result I've taught my family a trick or two!! I couldn't recommend Oaks Driving School enough!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend mark as he is a very thorough and understanding instructor. He is very honest and will help you whatever your problem is. He is also very comforting as I know that worrying and being nervous as a first driver can be a big problem and he helped a lot with this. I could not recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor! Couldn’t fault Mark at all. Easy to get along with, extremely patient when you are on the roads (especially for your first time) and he always has the knowledge to answer all your questions (especially the hypothetical ones). I passed both of my tests first time having plenty of time to prepare, enabling me to have more confidence in myself. I would 100% recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for a good reliable instructor. Thank you Mark
