For me personally, I waited a while to begin learning compared to my friends as I wanted to feel completely ready. So when choosing an instructor I really wanted someone who would let me take driving at my own pace.

For me Mark 100% did this for me as once the basics had been covered the feedback at the end of every lesson was very self reflective. I was able to see my own strengths and weaknesses, then let Mark do the teaching to fix these issues.

When choosing the school I also wanted someone I was able to talk to and bounce off of as when you’re spending 2 hours every week with them the last thing you want is to be bored. Me and Mark had a great balance of talking and teaching and he knew when to be quiet and when we could have a good gossip.

The experience I had was very different to what I expected as I thought I would really struggle but infact I had the complete opposite. I made mistakes along the way but they were solved within a lesson or 2 and each felt like a kind of stepping stone towards the next skill to learn.

As previously mentioned my instructor was Mark Jordan and when I first heard I had the boss I thought he’d be really strict but I genuinely couldn’t have had a better experience with him and his way of teaching really suited my stubborn attitudes sometimes.

His methods were on a week on week basis of building the basic skills up first and then putting them together slowly to then become a route. These routes gradually built in difficulty but any areas which you particularly struggled in you could easily just ask and Mark would spend the appropriate time addressing the issue and before you know it it wouldn’t be an issue anymore.

There were also a couple of lessons which I would highlight as SO SO important, First we had a distraction lesson which prepares you for when you do pass and the distraction you may encounter like loud music for example and it taught me how to cope with this and the potential dangers of this. And also a lesson performing a drive thru which is not only a bonus for the food/drink it also prepares you for an aspect of driving we all do but not all instructors cover.

I would recommend Mark Jordan driving a thousand times over, they are just what you need when first learning to drive. You’ll never feel anxious or unsafe and you’ll get the best teaching to get you to that pass. I passed this week first time and I can’t thank Mark enough for making this possible.

Customer Review Burton– Shane Passed

I had a great experience with Mark Jordan Driving School, with Richard as my instructor. I needed an instructor with some flexibility on lesson times, and the patience to be able to explain things in a variety of ways –

Richard absolutely delivered on both of these. I always felt encouraged to ask questions, and if I ever had trouble getting my head around a concept, Richard would able to explain it in as many different ways as I needed, be it through words or drawing diagrams on his iPad.

–

Having 2 hour lessons was very helpful as it ensured we could spend as long as I needed on questions, plus it often enabled us to drive further out of town for more variety in routes. Richard’s lessons would finish with a discussion of how they went and we’d use that to decide what we wanted to work on in the following lesson.

–

This ensured that every lesson had a goal in mind, so whether it was spent tackling something new or just honing the current skill set, we were always able to see some improvement over the previous week. As Richard would write up these notes and email them to me, I could read and watch videos in preparation for the next drive.

–

This written log of my progress also meant that even after having to miss a few months of lessons due to the early 2021 lockdown, when lessons resumed it was easy to pick up exactly where we left off. Between the flexibility in timeslots and Richard’s expert guidance, lessons were never an inconvenience and I always felt like I got my money’s worth.

–

I’m glad I chose Mark Jordan Driving School and would recommend it to anyone else considering learning to drive.

Customer Review Swadlincote – Eleanor Passed 1st + ZERO Faults

When choosing my driving instructor I wanted someone who would be patient and understanding as I was extremely nervous about learning to drive.

My driving instructor was Jamie Sharp at Mark Jordan Driving School who was incredible at making me feel at ease from the very first lesson. He reassured me from the start that I was more than capable and promised that he would get me test ready, and I finally passed today with zero faults!!

I can’t believe it. Thanks to Jamie learning to drive was so fun and enjoyable and I looked forward to my lessons each week. He tailored the lessons to whatever I needed and was patient and kind in advising me where things went wrong and how to improve on / correct it.

Jamie is your friend as well as your driving instructor which makes you feel so much more relaxed, and I felt I could ask questions about anything I needed help with.

I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan Driving School and particularly Jamie Sharp to anyone who is looking to start driving and is feeling especially anxious or on edge. He will take the time to build your confidence and get you to a place where you feel safe and happy to be driving. Thank you for helping me to pass first time.
