Gemma Eborall
I couldn't recommend Mark enough. From day one, he was friendly, approachable, and made the whole learning experience stress-free. I came into lessons really nervous and lacking confidence in myself, but Mark's calm and patient approach quickly put me at ease. He never made me feel silly for not understanding something and always took the time to explain everything thoroughly until I felt comfortable before moving on. He was always punctual and reliable, which made scheduling easy and consistent. The practice tests he provided were fantastic and closely mimicked the real test, which really helped build my confidence. Thanks to his guidance, support, and encouragement, I managed to pass first time - something I never thought I'd achieve. If you're looking for an instructor who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your success, Mark is the one to choose.

Lily McCormick
Mark has been an amazing instructor! He has built up my confidence so much since I originally came to him due to a previous instructor who made me feel really nervous before even stepping into the car. Mark not only was an instructor but we also became really good friends and in a way my therapist! Before each lesson we would debrief about our days so I didn’t have anything weighing on my mind while driving which could maybe put me off, this really helped as I felt I had someone to talk to and he actually has some really good advice. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about all of his students and enjoys what he does! It took me two attempts to pass my test and when I failed the first time it knocked my confidence a lot but Mark always picked me back up again and when I would make mistakes he would never roll his eyes or make me feel bad (like my last instructor did) we would talk it out and try things again so I wouldn’t worry about it next time, this really helped as im a perfectionist and I would already feel bad for making mistakes I didn’t need someone else making things worse. Mark always made time for my lessons as I work and found it difficult to do during the day. Overall I am so so so pleased that my mum found him for me! He is the best instructor I could have ever asked for and normally people say they can’t wait to drive without their instructor any more but for me that’s the complete opposite!! Thank you so much!!

Liv Hawkins
He was really patient and helped me feel really calm when learning to drive. Managed to pass in 4 months in a city I hadn’t been to much. He was really helpful. Will miss our little gossip chats.

Bethan King
Mark was a pleasure to start driving with, really helped with my confidence and took time to iron out the initial flaws. Would definitely recommend him for any nervous drivers and beginners as he cultivates an easy-going and understanding environment which really helps. He is also just a lovely person! Which is such a help when I was finding things particularly frustrating, as it was easy to work through with him.

Tricia Saraiva
Taking lessons with Mark was not just about learning traffic rules and driving techniques. He went beyond that, helping me believe I was capable of passing. He helped me strengthen my mindset and made me believe in myself. His teaching style is light and made me learn in the best way possible. I have so much to thank you for.

Dylan Oztekin
I started driving lessons half way through my driving journey as I was struggling to pass the driving test. When I started doing lessons with Mark he was very supportive and made me feel comfortable on the lesson.He also gave me a lot of pointers on how to successfully pass my driving test which I was able to do recently. Any learner looking to pass their driving test I couldn’t recommend him more.

Olivia Cappi
Mark is a great instructor. I was already an experienced driver with lots of bad habits and he helped me let go of all of them. He's very knowledgeable about the rules of the road and attentive to details, so he picks up on things we didn't know we were doing. And, of course, the best of all: I've just passed my test! Couldn't recommend him more.

Katie Wild

Mark is a great driving instructor, very patient and kind. All our lessons were really well structured. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Joel Holland
Just an amazing instructor! He made me really comfortable when learning, which was slightly difficult for me as I’d been involved in a car crash a couple months before I began learning. I found his acronyms really helpful, as I felt that I understood what I needed to do quickly. I liked how I could direct some of the lesson content and choose what I felt comfortable with learning next. He’s also really funny and genuine! He also picked me up from my school several times which made the lesson timings much more adaptable to my timetable and schedule.

Ben Jeffery
Would highly recommend Mark as an instructor. A very very thorough and detail oriented teacher that is very successful at getting one’s driving to test level. Great at correcting errors and guiding when unsure - Aimee Gerber  I couldn’t recommend Mark at LDC Driving School highly enough! He was absolutely brilliant in every way. From the very first lesson, he made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel with his calm, friendly, and professional teaching style. Mark went above and beyond to ensure I passed my test on the first attempt. He conducted practice tests that mimicked the real thing, thoroughly covered everything I needed to know, and gave me great tips to improve my driving skills. His patience and ability to explain things clearly made every lesson productive and enjoyable. Not only is Mark an excellent instructor, but he’s also a genuinely nice guy with a great personality, which made learning to drive a lot less stressful. On top of that, his prices are very reasonable for the high-quality instruction you receive. Thanks to Mark, I’m now a confident and safe driver. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about your success, look no further than Mark at LDC Driving School!

Mark is a very good driving instructor and made me pass first time!!! He goes through all the things which will come up on a test to make sure you feel calm on the day. He ensures you are happy at the end of every lesson and if you have any worries he will go through them with you so that you are not thinking about it afterwards. Defiantly recommend him.

Mark is a great driving instructor. I would recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Mark is a very clear and patient teacher and helped me pass my test on my first attempt. He is very good at explaining difficult road concepts and helping you enjoy driving. Marks is very calm and friendly so his lessons never felt daunting and became something I looked forward to. Mark was also willing to pick me up from school or home which was very helpful. Overall a great instructor and very calm, friendly guy.

Hatty Mitchell
Mark is a great driving instructor, everything you could ask for: reliable, friendly, explains things that are hard, takes the time to let you understand things, always patient and very helpful. It is clear he really cares about you becoming a safe driver, just as much as he cares about you passing, and has the highest hopes for all of his students with their best interests in mind. Best driving instructor by far in my opinion.

Lana Costello
Mark is an excellent instructor, teaching how to be an overall good and safe driver, not just how to pass a test. Mark ensures students make good progress while taking things at their own pace and is extremely friendly, reliable and truly makes learning to drive an enjoyable experience, couldn’t recommend him more.
