Fantastic experience: My daughter has just passed her driving test at the first time of asking with 2 minors. Mark has been her instructor from the start and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better suited for our daughter. She is not naturally the most confident of girls but Mark has helped her throughout and developed her into a confident young driver. I’ll sign my Son up now if I could (2yrs to go yet). Thanks so much Mark!

Thank you for your lovely review, Lee. Esme was a fantastic student and a dream to teach. She listened so well to instruction and immediately tried to put any faults right when they were highlighted. She fully deserved her first time pass!

Thank you, Olivia, for your lovely review. As a driving instructor, patience is probably the most important thing in our toolbox, along with the ability to instruct or coach our students towards the end goal - a test pass! Well done and stay safe!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a top instructor and I couldn't be happier about my experience getting test ready with him. His knowledge of the roads is undeniable, as is his understanding how to develop confidence in his pupils. He's a massive reason I was able to pass first time, and I'm glad I went with MRW Driving. Cheers Mark

Fantastic experience: Mark has been a fantastic driving instructor right from my first lesson with him. He has instilled so much confidence in me going forward. After having a break from driving lessons for 6 years, I was very nervous to start again but he helped me to get straight back into driving and got me through to test day in 2 months. Throughout my lessons, he has been calm and patient and explains how to read situations on the road very clearly. It is clear how much he cares about his students and wants them to succeed just as much as they do! I would recommend Mark to anyone looking to learn to drive :)

When I read reviews like this, it makes me feel really proud of what my student’s are achieving. I am clearly doing something right and long may it continue. I find this job so rewarding and I love passing my knowledge on to others. Thank you, Georgia, and congratulations on your well deserved pass. It was never in doubt from my instructor’s seat!

Megan Newman 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Mark is a lovely instructor, from my first lesson to my last there wasn’t a lesson I didn’t look forward to. Mark has a lot of patience with his students, and will go over manoeuvres until his students are confident. He teaches them in an easy way to understand and always provides you with feedback, which helped me to pass my test first time! Thankyou so much Mark!

Fantastic experience: Mark has been a fantastic instructor, as someone who was an extremely nervous driver I have had many lessons over the years but always struggled with nerves and anxiety around driving.

Neve Palmer 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time with only two faults !! Thanks to Mark i was able to make this huge accomplishment. He has taught me such confidence within myself and is SO easy to get along with. When i first started with Mark i had no idea what i was doing. Mark gave me a phone call before my first lesson which was a great way to start the journey. He has kept pushing me to where he knows i can be and has always had faith in me being able to complete my driving as he does with all his students. I would recommend him to everyone!! Thanks for having to listen to me chat away for so long !

Megan Hey 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent driving instructor who knows his stuff and how to make students feel at ease behind the wheel. His combination of driving knowledge and pedagogical knowledge is exactly what you want whether it's your first time in a car or refreshing your memory. Mark taught me all the skills I needed to pass my test, he was firm but patient and adapted his teaching methods to tackle any obstacles I had to learning. When my confidence was knocked he would build it back up again and help provide techniques to understand manoeuvres better. I would highly recommend Mark as a driving instructor. Thank you Mark for helping me pass my test and making me a better driver

Fantastic experience: Mark is a great instructor. He is patient, understanding and pleasant to be in the car with. I passed my test after only 3 months of lessons. Even though I had my mum teach me the basics I found it very easy to learn with Mark. I would highly recommend

Alin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mark highly enough! After moving to a new city and needing to prepare for my driving test on very short notice, I found Mark, and I’m so glad I did. He is by far the best instructor out there and I truly mean that. He’s extremely patient, knowledgeable, and great at explaining things clearly. His background as an ex-police officer gave me confidence that I was learning from someone with a lot of real-world experience. Despite the limited time I had before my test, Mark helped me refine my skills and feel fully prepared, and thanks to him, I passed! If you're looking for an instructor who will make you feel comfortable and confident on the road, Mark is the one.

Thank you, Alin, for such a glowing review. I was just glad that I was able to help you out at such short notice. You were a model student and took on board all of the feedback and tips that I gave you. The result…..a fully deserved first time pass! Well done

Sarah Mooney 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Mark is the very best instructor out there! Having started with another instructor I thought that maybe driving wasn't for me. A couple of lessons with Mark soon made me realise that this wasn't the case! Mark is incredibly patient, understanding and kind. He possesses an incredible ability to inspire confidence and set even the worst nerves at ease. Mark's sense of humour is wicked too - lessons felt like going for a drive with a friend by the end! Lessons can be booked through an app which is super handy and suited my lack of routine, but also when my test was coming up Mark actually moved things around to accommodate me and to fit to my time. You will not find a more fun, compassionate and dedicated instructor. Mark, thank you for your patience, wisdom and for the many, many laughs!

Sarah, thank you for your lovely feedback. I do my best to make sure my students have fun and enjoy their lessons, and if they happen to learn something at the same time, that is a bonus! It was a pleasure having you as a student. Enjoy your new found independence!

Megan Dyer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When Mark took me and my parter on, I had some on-off previous experience with other instructors and a bunch of nerves whilst my partner came with none. We both had no access to a vehicle or co-pilot alongside our weekly lessons with Mark. Despite this, Mark has managed to get us both passing our UK practical driving test within about 9-months! Mark was able to accommodate lessons around our busy work-life schedule, and was always punctual and reliable. This made scheduling lessons convenient and stress-free. This also ensured that we received ample of practice before our tests. Mark clearly possesses a profound understanding of driving techniques, road safety rules and the local area. This was evident in his ability to provide clear and concise instruction and proactively anticipate and address any potential issues. In turn, this helps to develop both knowledgeable and safe drivers. Mark was able to tailor lessons to our specific needs and learning styles. This is particularly important to me since I have SpLDs. Whether it was practicing driving in different conditions, roundabouts or manoeuvres each lesson was structured to focus on the skills that we needed to develop the most. Mark has excellent interpersonal skills and is extremely patient, which created a calm and positive learning environment. Mark's feedback was always constructive, highlighting areas for improvement without making me feel discouraged. Overall, this helped to build my confidence in driving. Regardless of the driving test result, it's also evident that the outcome means just as much to Mark. He remains dedicated and supportive right up until you pass. Achieving our driving test success has been a significant milestone, providing us with enhanced independence and a true "skill for life." Overall, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking driving lessons!

Thank you, Megan, for what I can only describe as my best review yet! I didn't know I was that good! But seriously, I have fully enjoyed my time teaching both you and Jack to drive and I will miss you both.
Go out and enjoy your new found independence and freedom and if you ever have any questions or doubts about your driving, you know where to find me! Stay safe on the road and keep learning!

Kirsty Wiseman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been extremely lucky to find Mark and get our son and daughter booked in with him in advance. He has just taught my son, who has passed first time and currently teaching our daughter too. He's a kind, calm and understanding instructor who always has positive feedback. If you are lucky enough to find Mark then most definitely get in touch and booked in. I'm unsure of his waiting list but I'd definitely say he would be worth the wait. I've already lined up my other children ready . Thank you Mark, it's been a pleasure to find you!

Amy Thompson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have just passed my test with Mark after only starting back up lesson 2-3 weeks before my test date, in the short space of time we had to work with Mark has been absolutely incredible at not just being able to get me in for lessons but also with the support running up to my test. He has massively helped my nerves, before I came to Mark I was an extremely anxious driver! Now having passed I feel so much more relaxed, I trust my decisions and have managed to pass with just 3 minors!! Honestly couldn't be more greatful for Mark getting me through these last few weeks!

Fantastic experience: Mark has done a great job getting my son through his driving test first time with just one minor! He has a great enthusiasm for what he does and is really encouraging. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his lessons and learned so much from Mark, not just how to pass a test but how to be a calm, confident and courteous driver as well. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family ☺️

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Edward. It was a pleasure having you as a student and in the short time that I had to work with you, I am really pleased with the ‘first time pass’ result that you achieved.
Every time you get behind the wheel, keep putting into practice all the procedures that you have learnt over the last couple of months. Always be courteous to other road users and remember, ‘Every day is a school day’!

Mark Boughen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fabulous instructor, made me feel confident in my driving throughout my lessons and had lots of patience, clear instructions given and friendly conversation had. Gave comprehensive valuable, feedback after each session. Your flexibility in pick up and drop off locations in both Cambridge and East Cambs made organising my lessons easy. I am so grateful to you as I passed first time, after only 5 months of lessons. Thank you so much Mark, would definitely recommend to as a driving instructor. Wish you all the best. Regards Molly.
