Mark Jordan Driving School

Fantastic experience: I chose Mark Jordan Driving School due to its excellent reputation. It was important that I found a driving school that made me feel at ease behind a wheel and Mark Jordan Driving School and Andy Tyler did this for me. I can’t thank Andy enough for accommodating my ever changing work schedule in order for me to continue my driving lessons. I was nervous upon starting my lessons but thankfully Andy’s teaching style eradicated all of those worries. Andy taught in a calm, easy to follow and informative way. My lessons were always enjoyable with Andy and I would have no hesitation in recommending Andy Tyler and Mark Jordan Driving School to my friends and family. Thanks for the experience !

Fantastic experience: Finding a good driving school and instructor in my opinion is pivotal to the way you learn to drive as you spend so much time with them it’s important you feel comfortable. Mark Jordan driving school had excellent reviews so I was confident I was making the right choice from the beginning. My instructor Andy has been fantastic from start to finish. His calm approach made me feel at ease immediately. Everything was always explained in detail and broken down for me, and the use of the iPad to demonstrate certain parts of the lessons made things so much easier to appreciate when learning. Andy always made sure I knew the aim of each lesson and would set out and explain future lessons so I always knew what to expect. Andy was always very patient with me which I will forever be grateful for and my confidence grew with each lesson. He takes great care in his teaching and there are so many things he has taught me on my journey that will always stay with me. Thank you so much Andy!!

Fantastic experience: I struggled initially with learning to drive through an instructor over in Coventry. It was manual lessons and found it extremely difficult to grasp the concept with a manual gearbox also the instructor was very difficult and not the friendliest. My criteria was to go for automatic lessons to help this and speed up the process of passing. Due to the fact I didn't get on with my previous instructor I felt it was important that my new instructor was friendly and easy to get along with . I felt I was going to achieve these through yourself and wasn't disappointed I was worried to being with I would still find driving difficult and that it would take me a while to get used to , however that wasn't the case. Each lesson was made super easy and straight away felt confident I was going to make progress quickly. Andy Tyler was my Instructor and how glad I am that it was! Andy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish . Straight away made me feel extremely comfortable and manage to have a few laughs along the way too . Each lesson was planned really well and Andy made sure I understood each lesson and grasped what I was being taught before moving onto another topic. Andy never over complicated any situation making it really easy to learn new things when driving . Also using aides such as the iPad to help with scenarios really helped. I remember one particular roundabout I was struggling with lane discipline . The next lesson Andy took the time to get a Google earth view of the roundabout and showed me in depth where I should be positioned on each exit . I thought this was the perfect way to show me how to do it correctly . Also felt he was going the extra mile to ensure I understood . I would recommend Mark Jordan Driving School soley down to the care they have for there learners and specifically Andy Tyler as I couldn't ask for any more from him. Teaching methods were made easy and quick to grasp . Andy was so easy to get along with and a great teacher. Thank you again for a great experience. Once again I couldn't ask for a better instructor. Not a bad word to say . Enjoyed every minute.

Fantastic experience: I initially chose Mark Jordan Driving after reading many other highly positive reviews, and I have to say, they are 100% accurate! They made me feel wanted right from the beginning; I was initially only able to do lessons at specific times, but they were incredibly helpful in making making sure I could fit in. My instructor, Andy Tyler, was possibly the most patient person I have ever met! No matter how many times I took a corner too wide, bumped a kerb, or braked too late, he never got annoyed, and calmly explained how to do these things properly and safely. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend Mark Jordan Driving School; thanks to Andy, I was able to pass on my first attempt!

Fantastic experience: As an older student who has only rode a motorcycle I was apprehensive about stepping into a car. The frightful thought of a large metal box that has a reverse gear filled me with dread. I took to Google to find driving instructors in my area and phoned a few. Straight away Mark Jordon’s school felt well organised and very welcoming. I waited patiently for spaces to become available and was quickly paired with Andy who was the designated instructor in my area. On my first day when Andy picked me up I wasn’t sure what to expect, but in a short space of time he put me at ease, creating repore and showing me a slow, steady and structured approach. He was careful and built up my skills slowly so I retained my new found confidence. I put my trust in Andy because he created lesson plans ahead of time which were tailored to my strengths and weaknesses. We would discuss our lessons and he would write notes that we would revisit in the next lesson. It also really helped me that Andy is also a biker. This meant he was able to explain things in a language I understood and could then adapt to my new found driving skills. Andy was always on time and the 2 hour lessons were excellent to cover a lot of tuition and get heaps of practice in. Andy said something when we first met and it stuck with me “I’m not teaching you to pass your test, I’m teaching you to be an excellent driver for the rest of your life” And that statement he made is absolutely true! Yes, I’ve passed a test, but with the skills he taught me I came away feeling confident and safe behind the wheel. Finally excited to step into the metal box and reverse into any space I highly recommend Mark Jordon driving school. From the time I first called, to the moment I was dropped off at home with my test pass certificate it was a wonderful and professional experience.

Fantastic experience: The most important thing for me was being able to fit in my driving lessons around my college and football commitments, Carly was very flexible and made sure she could accommodate these, she would even pick me up, drop me off at college or work so that I could get a lesson in. Another important thing for me was having an instructor that was friendly, patient and that made me feel at ease, Carly was definitely all those things. She would help me build up my confidence at my own pace and would never put too much pressure on me, but she also challenged me when I needed to be, and pushed me out of my comfort zone, which helped a lot to progress. I always felt comfortable asking questions, we also had some laughs and nice chats which helped me to feel relaxed while driving. I would 100% recommended mark Jordan driving school, but especially Carly! thank you for helping me to pass first time

Fantastic experience: I chose mark jordan driving school as I had a previous bad experience with a driving instructor and wanted to get back on the road and Carly was the perfect instructor she was always willing to go the extra mile to help me succeed. The way Carly would help me identify my strengths and weaknesses really helped me excel with my driving to help me pass quickly. I would strongly recommend mark jordan driving school and Carly

Fantastic experience: Given the limited availability of many driving instructors, I was delighted that Mark Jordan Driving School were able to accommodate me and even offer a lesson schedule to fit around my school commitments. I got a helpful text reminder just before each lesson which came to good use at times when I was busy with school-work! After failing my first test with another driving school, I looked for a change of teaching and after 12 hours I was ready for test. The teaching was comparably much more informative and time-efficient with my instructor, Carly, bringing a positive and cheery approach to every lesson which made the learning environment constant fun. My instructor, Carly, was extremely helpful with a calm and reassuring approach to teaching that made the lessons comfortable and productive. I was impressed by her extended knowledge of the local test centre (Loughborough) and possible routes that can only be learned through years of experience. After 12 hours I felt confident to take my test and was sad that driving lessons with Carly had to end after I passed! I’d recommend Mark Jordan Driving School, and especially my driving instructor, Carly, to anyone looking for a safe and effective way to learn to drive and be test-ready. I can’t recommend Carly and the school enough. Thank You!

Fantastic experience: When choosing a driving school, I made sure to research so I would pick the right one for me. The reviews were amazing for Mark Jordan driving school and they have fantastic pass rates. My instructor, Andy, was patient with me and made me feel relaxed and at ease. He encouraged me the whole way through which really helped my confidence. I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan driving school! Thank you for helping me to pass first time!

Fantastic experience: Carly was a great driving instructor helped you not feel pressured while learning. I also found the score card very helpful each week to reflect on what you've learnt and got better at.

Fantastic experience: After finding Mark Jordan Drving School highly rated online, I booked my lessons with them and had the pleasure of being taught by Carly. The most important thing a driving instructor can do, aside from teaching of course, is to make the student feel relaxed, and I always felt relaxed and comfortable during my lessons. The note taking at the end of the lessons, and the discussions that are a part of it really helped me to understand what I had learned and helped keep track of my progress. Previous instructors I have had simply end the lesson with a 'goodbye' and thats it. In conclusions, I would HIGHLY reccomend Mark Jordan Driving School to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: In sorting out driving lessons for our son, we were looking for a driving instructor who would be highly knowledgeable and good at getting the best out of people. After reading good reviews and an encouraging intro phone call we felt confident in going with Mark Jordan Driving - and the instructor, Carly, certainly didn't disappoint. She was obviously good at putting people at ease and giving them confidence, and from day one our son felt comfortable and enjoyed the lessons. At the end of each lesson Carly left him with a clear understanding of things to focus on for the next lesson, including a clear set of notes to refer to. By the time of his last few practice drives with us, it was obvious that Carly had got him well and truly ready for the test - which was confirmed when he passed first time. Add in the fact that the costs were reasonable, and also with a decent discount for booking a “block” of lessons, and that Carly always showed up right on time, this was a great choice. We've already recommended Mark Jordan Driving (and Carly in particular) to 2 of our friends and would strongly recommend to anyone else who is on the lookout for a good driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Mark Jordan Driving School - a review based on my own experience; - What was the most important criteria when choosing a Driving Instructor / School? As there are often numerous options when selecting a driving school, it was important that a local driving school also had credibility. Mark Jordan driving school was not only local for me, but offered fantastic statistics regarding their pass rates. Furthermore, communication was also important for me. I contacted Mark Jordan with queries as to when my lessons could start, lessons times, as well as various other questions, and the service was brilliant. Fast responses and approachability provided clarity and reassurance from the beginning - which was not always the case when contacting other driving schools. - What other factors were important when choosing your Driving Instructor / School? Mark Jordan Driving School also offered discount for the first 10 lessons, which was helpful financially speaking. It was a nice pull factor when selecting a driving school, which proved difficult following the backlog from COVID-19. - Who was your instructor and how did you find your instructors' teaching methods? My instructor was Andy Tyler and I cannot commend him enough for his teaching. It was a pleasure to learn alongside his expertise; he offered the perfect balance between reassurance and discipline. As someone who wanted to pass as soon and as safely as possible, I believe Andy taught me how to be a safe driver for life whilst still enjoying the experience. Importantly, Andy made sure the standards which I was capable of were met, particularly as test day approached. This was essential to having the confidence in myself to pass. - Would you recommend us to others? Mark Jordan Driving School offers a fantastic balance of good quality driver training with an enjoyable and engaging learner experience. For example, the use of tablets and diagrams meant the learning process was approached in a manageable step-by-step manor which was easy to digest and, most importantly, understand on a weekly basis. I could not recommend Andy Tyler and MJDS enough for this reason.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't thank Andy at Mark Jordan Driving school enough! The whole experience has been so positive. I came to Mark Jordan driving school after returning from university and had changed from a previous instructor. Andy is so calm, patient and positive. He helped build up my confidence in driving very quickly and has given me life long skills and knowledge about driving. I am particularly grateful with how accommodating he was to fit me in with short notice as I had moved to Southend for a teacher training position and was in the area shortly before my test. Andy was honest the entire time but was very reassuring in knowing my abilities. He went above and beyond to fit me in, even working a bank holiday for me the day before my test. Overall, I couldn't recommend the company and Andy enough!

Fantastic experience: When looking for a driving school, I was looking for affordability, and a friendly and supportive instructor. I definitely found that with Mark Jordan Driving School. Andy Tyler was the best instructor I could've asked for. He is kind, caring, and so understanding when it came to my physically and mental health issues. Driving had always seemed like this huge, complicated thing to me, but Andy calmed my nerves within the first few minutes of the very first lesson and showed me that it's not as complicated as it looks. Any issues I had, we would dedicate lessons to until I could to it without worry. I highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving school to anyone who needs an affordable yet effective driving school.

Fantastic experience: I chose Mark Jordan driving school as it was evident that they had an excellent reputation, quality tuition and great results. I found the initial contact with Mark Jordan excellent with clear and detailed information made available from the start allowing for ease of booking. My tuition with Andy Tyler was exceptional. He provided a relaxed and supportive environment adjusting the pace and content as needed. Andy not only demonstrated what needed to be learnt but also why, ensuring that I learnt to drive safely and confidently. Andy provided a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will stay with me during my driving journey. I cannot recommend Andy or Mark Jordan driving school enough and thank them for helping me pass first time.

Fantastic experience: I chose to use the MJ Driving School as it offered consistent, 2 hr lessons, and I am incredibly glad I did! I drove with Andy, and he was outstanding! Always very fair and supportive, he constantly helped me to better my driving despite being heavy-footed in the beginning and having a below-par sense of direction! He would always be understanding of myself as well and would be flexible in helping work our lessons (and my test) to a time that fit us both well. He would not only explain how to do things, but allow me to explain why I did something, and would then help to express where my thinking was right/wrong so I could bare that in mind for the future. There was an excellent range of techniques used to help my learning, including modern iPad techniques and plenty of visual aids that would help my understanding of not only what to do, but why things should be done in a given way. We would consistently use plenty of test routes and roads, so much so that we had driven every road my test was on before I took it, but also would take on board my suggestions so we could do a number of roads/routes more local to myself. We also had time to reflect at the end of our lessons as well, giving constructive feedback which allowed me to reflect on comments he made and commit them to memory ahead of the next week! The experience in the car was great too. It was great getting to know Andy over the time we were together. There was always conversation to be had and, equally, I could concentrate solely on what we were doing when needed, without feeling the pressure of him watching over me! It was always a calming and measured environment, that helped keep me from stressing and there was always opportunity to find somewhere to calm down and take a breather when required. I would highly recommend the MJ Driving School, and Andy himself, as he was incredibly supportive, would always make sure I was happy with what I was doing and kept me very comfortable in the car. And it is because of this I believe they could support anyone through their learning journey!

Fantastic experience: I drove with Mark Jordan driving as they had good reviews online and they lived up to it. The lessons were planned out and executed clearly. They broke every aspect of driving down to make sure you mastered everything before putting it all together. Andy who I had went above and beyond to help by doing lessons on days he never normally works just before the test and helped to move the test forward. Overall a really good experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Andy. When looking for an instructor, Mark Jordan had the best reviews. My instructor was patient and pushed me at the right times. Using an iPad to help with junctions and when to give way etc. Andy would always go through what went well in my lessons and what I could improve next time setting out a schedule which I was sent every week. This helped me when driving in my own car to look out for what I could do better. Andy was a great instructor and I would recommend for any new drivers!!

Fantastic experience: My experience was extremely positive, Andy was always very supportive, always on time, and patient with me even if I needed an extra bit of encouragement. He was always helping to push me further despite my fears or doubts in myself and from the first lesson to me passing my test he has been an amazing instructor. Thank you Andy!

Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Richard was a good experience, always on time, communicated well and was patient. The results speak for themselves passed first time with Four minor faults. I feel confident to and prepared to drive on my own. Thank you Richard From Jack

Fantastic experience: I would highly suggest you use Mark Jordan Driving School, the team and especially Andy are all great. Andy is an amazing instructor, his methods of teaching are amazing, he is always so calm and he fills you up with confidence. When you’re with Andy you can take your time, he is very patient with his students which is a big help. At the end of every lesson me and Andy would sit in the car and have a chat about the lesson, what was good and what needed working on. He used an IPad to go through real life situations and also track how I was doing, I feel that the IPad really helped me understand as you can see what you’re meant to do in them situations. Andy exceeded my expectations, he would come on his days off to do lessons with me, i really appreciated this as is was right before my test, this helped me a lot, having a refresh before the big day. I passed first time, thanks to Andy. I highly recommend you use Mark Jordan Driving School and Andy, I can’t thank you enough!

Fantastic experience: My most important criteria when picking a driving school and instructor (Andy Tyler) was to find a school who tailor lessons to your individual ability. Mark Jordan driving surpassed this expectation with Andy fine tuning the specific bits of my driving needing improvement. Andy made sure that there was the theory was there behind whatever we were doing. My two hour lessons were enjoyable and after 10 lesson including my test, I was able to pass with confidence. I’m excited to take advantage of the many opportunities driving brings. Thank you Mark Jordan and thank you Andy for the amazing teaching.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Andy Tyler and Mark Jordan driving school has been second to none, from my very first lesson to passing my test! Andy has always been patient and nurturing when it came to learning how to be safe on the road. Due to the pandemic my lessons were all over the place but Andy always kept in touch to keep me motivated and determined not to give up. Andy has always been friendly with me on lessons and I have developed my driving no end since starting. I would highly recommend Andy and Mark Jordan driving school to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Honestly such a good learner driving company, wouldn’t of gone to anyone else. Matt taught me so well to pass first time, can’t wait to get in my own car

Fantastic experience: When we were trying to find a driving instructor, we were mainly after a professional business where you get what you’re paid. We definitely found that with Mark Jordan Driving, they were professional, brilliantly valued, great attacking to you and communicating what you’d be doing and how to do it and they were very flexible with timing. I joined them back in August 2019 and had around 5 lessons with Matt Allen, one of the instructors. He was just brilliant, he was calm with you, talking you through everything while also pushing you to succeed and triumph over an obstacle, if you didn’t fell comfortable with something, then he’d find another way to slowly build you up. I had to leave Matt sadly due to timing issues, and had two other instructors, neither of which could live up to Mark and Matt’s standards and professionalism. After COVID restrictions were relaxed, I asked Matt whether I would be allowed back, he was immensely polite and allowed me to continue with a time that worked for me. And after a month and a bit, he helped me pass my driving test, first time. Even during the weeks where nerves took over, he was polite, funny, and an amazing instructor. I would whole heartedly recommend Mark Jordan Driving and Matt Allen as an instructor for anyone wishing to pass and have the skills to continue afterwards. No pressure, flexible timing, brilliant instructors. Thank you for helping me drive and pass, eternally grateful.

Fantastic experience: Mark Jordan Driving is a great driving school. My instructor was Matt Allen. He was very patient and communicated very well, helping me pass first time. I chose Mark Jordan Driving only by reviews and I'm glad I did. I really liked the summary after every lesson that was sent to me via email so I knew what I needed to work on. I would highly recommend them and have done to my friends.

Fantastic experience: When choosing a driving instructor, it was important to me to find someone that would be professional, patient and friendly. I found Mark Jordan Driving to have everything I was looking for along with the best reviews in the area and a great success rate. My driving instructor Andy is very patient and calm and makes learning to drive very achievable, he builds a great team “can do” atmosphere. The two-hour lessons fly by, but this gives you the time to put into practice what you are learning. Andy answers all my questions while putting it in a way that you can understand and relate to. He makes sure you are confident with what you have learnt and achieved before moving onto the next step, allowing you to progress at a pace you are comfortable with. Using his iPad is a great way help to explain what we were learning about and enables you to visualise what you need to do. I would 100% recommend Mark Jordan Driving to everyone looking to learn to drive. I especially like the level of feedback on my lessons via email and that the lesson plans were emailed to me so that I could prepare. Great experience
