Massive credit and big thank you

5/5

Mark was absolutely great - always knew what to say when I was feeling anxious etc, praised me, comforted me, knew to make sure I wasn’t cocky when I thought I knew it all. The LDC workbook helped of course but Mark was an absolute gem. Really grateful he took me on and stuck through the difficult moments I had (which were quite a few). Massive credit and a big thank you to Mark! Vicki :-)

Kavi Jani

Mark has been really patient and let me learn at my own pace.

5/5

Mark has been really patient with me, despite me sometimes looking ok I was nowhere near ready to pass. He made sure I understood everything very clearly and would let me learn at my pace rather than controlling how or forcing me to do certain things quickly and would never rush things. He also took time out of his own Saturdays very often to ensure I was ready for my tests, even if it meant he missed his car shows therefore I cannot thank Mark enough for being my instructor.

Matthew Belfield

I couldn't be happier

5/5

I got on really well with Mark and spent most of our lessons chatting as well as learning which really helped with my nerves. With regards to the teaching, the syllabus was structured in a useful and helpful way to build skills. Lessons were delivered very well and I found his depth of knowledge to rub off on me. I’d highly recommend LDC and my driving instructor Mark chief among them. In summary I couldn’t be happier with the standard and holistic experience of my tuition with a friendly guy.

Elliot Nixon

Thank you so much

5/5

Mark is an amazing, patient and understanding instructor. He gave me good preparation for my test and was very knowledgeable. Thank you so much for sticking with me and helping me even when I was challenging. Thank you for being really understanding over the time I’ve had lessons, I don’t think I’d get the same amount of support you’ve given me from any other instructor. You’ve not only taught me to drive but also little ways on helping my anxiety and that will stick with me for life! Thank you so much!!!

A really great experience

5/5

I’ve learned with Mark for about 7 months his methods of teaching are through, however with his attitude this makes lessons extremely relaxing and comfortable, I’m able to have a little chat whilst also staying safe. The banter and sarcasm we both used made it a really great experience, he does things some instructors wouldn’t like going on the motorway and certain towns like Shrewsbury. I’ve had a really great experience and can’t thank him enough.
