Our Driving Instructor Reviews For Burton
These testimonials offer valuable insights into why our driving school stands out. Our instructors, celebrated for expertise, patience, and effective teaching methods, go beyond education—they serve as mentors, guiding learners toward confidence and skill on the road.





The most important criteria for me when choosing a driving school was finding someone with good reviews and that had availability to have regular lessons.
Another important factor was choosing someone who had teaching methods that worked well for me and made me feel like everything was covered in detail and with lots of practice to make me feel more confident on the roads.
Learning to drive was a lot less stressful than I expected as my instructor Mark was very calm and his teaching style was very structured which I think was very important in helping me to pass my test 1st time with no faults.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mark Jordan Driving School to others who are looking to learn to drive as the consistent and structured lessons help you become a confident and safe driver.
Thanks so much to Mark for helping me so much, it has been a great experience!

My driving experience with Mark Jordan Driving School was one of the greatest experiences especially for me starting off as a very nervous driver and being afraid to be behind the wheel.
My incredible instructor Mark was excellent at putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable whilst driving on the roads. One of the most important factors i was looking for in terms of my lessons was having an instructor who was patient with me, calm and someone who would put me at ease if anything was to go wrong.
I also considered an instructor who helps to give effective feedback whilst consolidating my knowledge of road safety and someone who I could have a laugh with and make driving a more enjoyable experience.
My instructor successfully ticked off all the boxes I was looking for which helped me become the confident driver I am today. As I continued to have lessons it was so different to how I expected it to be in the beginning. I didn’t know what to expect and I believed I couldn’t handle feeling confident on the roads but that all changed for me as I progressed through my lessons making driving a fun and exciting experience.
Mark’s teaching style remained professional and it was well-structured whilst covering the basics and moving towards more advanced driving where I learned new skills and learnt from my mistakes and why.
Whilst on the lead up to my test I really benefitted from the mock tests mark conducted within the lesson. They abled me to gain an understanding of the test and reduced any nerves I was having.
Now driving independently his techniques able me to be safe on the road by giving me simple acronyms to remember which make driving so much easier moving forward.
I highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving to any young individual who feels nervous about learning to drive and to keep a positive mindset throughout.

The most important factor for me was finding an instructor who was patient, friendly, and experienced—someone who could create a comfortable environment where I could learn and feel confident.
I’d previously taken driving lessons several years earlier and had a bad experience that put me off learning to drive. I also wanted an instructor who would provide clear, constructive feedback on my progress. It was important that I felt well-prepared, especially with knowledge of local test routes.
I researched driving schools in the area and Mark was one of the highest rated for a good reason. Learning to drive turned out to be a more enjoyable and less stressful experience than I anticipated. Mark’s calm demeanour and organized teaching style made it easier to stay focused and motivated throughout each lesson.
The teaching methods were excellent with well-structured feedback at the end of each lesson pointing out what I was doing well and highlighting areas where I needed improvement. This approach helped me develop my skills step by step, which made me feel prepared and confident when it came time for the actual test. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone learning to drive. His friendly and patient nature, combined with his great teaching style, made all the difference. Thank you for helping me pass first time.

The most important criteria for me when choosing a driving school was finding an instructor who was friendly, professional and understanding of how it truly feels to be a learner. I wanted somewhere where I’d feel at ease with the nerves I knew would come with driving and where I’d be met with feedback that would push me to be a better driver and reduce my anxiety around driving. Based on this I was recommended Mark Jordan driving by a friend!
I also wanted a place where the feedback given could be visualised in a way that meant I could practice independently with my parents. Mark Jordan Driving provided me this, with weekly driving notes and tasks to improve my driving that I practiced outside my weekly lessons. I also wanted a place that offered 2 hour long lessons, which Mark Jordan offered, as I feel that this amount of time allowed me to truly take in the skills I was taught and made the length of my test feel much more manageable and stress-free.
I was initially very nervous to start driving as I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but as soon as I had my first lesson with Mark Jordan, I instantly felt calmer and more confident in my ability to progress through my lessons. I worried that I’d have to pick up things too fast and be pushed into driving but I never once felt like that with Mark Jordan, with sufficient mock tests and independent drive I have left feeling happy and safe on the roads, having passed first time with no minors.
My instructor Mark was always helpful and positive throughout my lessons and i never felt out of my comfort zone in what we were doing. His friendly attitude and confidence in me from my first lesson is truly what pushed me to continue even when I doubted my ability. His teaching methods ensured that I was not only test ready but a calm and confident driver overall! I never once felt nervous when questioning something I was unsure about or asking to revise something. My questions were met with professional and constructive feedback, where areas that required improvement were acknowledged and reprimanded.
In particular, I loved how I was able to structure my own lessons as I gained more understanding of driving. I was able to choose areas I wanted to work on and where I felt less confident, with constructive feedback from Mark. By the time my test came up, I felt confident in my ability and Mark’s calm demeanour helped me through my test nerves and any doubts I had.
I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan driving to anyone looking to learn how to drive in an efficient, yet friendly environment. The structured lessons yet flexible approach to driving allowed me to deal with anything that happened on the roads and the constant feedback and encouragement I received was crucial to my first time driving test pass! The quality of the teaching and the supportive, progressive environment that Mark created has allowed me to overcome any nerves I had at the start of my journey with Mark Jordan Driving.
Thank you for everything Mark! I passed with zero faults – something I wouldn’t have believed possible before starting my lessons!

I chose Mark Jordan driving school as Mark was personally recommended as an excellent driving instructor by a family friend. It was extremely important to me when choosing an instructor that they had a modern medium sized vehicle with up to date technology, be reliable, show patience and have an excellent pass rate. Mark Jordan is all those things. He was always on time for my lessons and from day one made me feel at ease which helped with my nerves. Mark is extremely professional but also friendly.
My personal driving journey has had some bumps in the road but Mark kept me focused, adapting his teaching methods and giving me areas to practice on privately. I had weekly driving notes which gave both positive feedback and areas for improvement.
The 2 hour lessons are ideal for consolidating skills and building confidence as nothing is rushed. Mark’s focus is always on road safety and passing a driving test is just the beginning of a skill for life so should not be rushed. I did lots of mock tests which prepared me well for the real thing.
When I passed it was at the right time for me and I feel confident in all aspects of my driving ability.
Thank you Mark for always believing in me. I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with you and I am so glad I chose Mark Jordan driving school. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to all my friends.

I wanted someone who could be reliable and who would help me work on my weaknesses. Mark worked lessons around my busy schedule and stuck with me travelling back and forth between uni and home.
I couldn’t recommend Mark Jordan Driving more. Learning to drive was a constant learning curve but lessons showed me the most important thing is just that it is all about experience and dedication.
I was taught by Mark and he helped me feel at ease and altered his teaching methods depending on what worked for me. He could answer every question I had and seemed to know everything there was to know about driving.
His use of an iPad and stopping to go over the best way to tackle difficult situations and acting out scenarios was extremely helpful and useful to understand why I was doing things and not just doing what I was told.
He helped me to build confidence on areas I had previously failed on and always approached it in a positive way. Mark made sure I was reflecting on the drive and wanting my input as well as giving his.
I would 100% recommend Mark Jordan Driving if you want to have driving lessons you can both progress quickly in and enjoy.

The most important criteria for me when choosing a driving school was finding an instructor who was patient, calm, and friendly, while also being professional and constructive with feedback. I wanted someone who could provide a supportive learning environment and who was genuinely interested in helping their students succeed. It was important that the instructor would be understanding and encouraging, making the learning process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Mark’s teaching methods were exceptional. His lessons were well-structured and never felt rushed. Key skills were introduced clearly and comprehensively, with each lesson building on the previous one. Mark’s approach was to guide my progress through personal target setting and constant reflection on each drive’s strengths and weaknesses. This method ensured that I was always making steady progress and addressing any areas needing improvement. Mark was patient and never rushed me onto new skills before I was ready, which made me feel confident and well-prepared at every stage.
Mark’s ability to create a supportive and friendly learning environment made a huge difference in my driving journey. He was always patient and understanding, which helped build my confidence on the road. His professional yet approachable manner ensured that I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification whenever needed. The constant reflection and well-defined goals set at the start and end of each lesson made sure I was always making observable progress. Mark’s dedication to his students and his passion for teaching were evident in every lesson.
Thank you so much for your time, support, and teaching, Mark! You have been amazing!

When I was looking for a driving school, I wanted someone trusted with a good reputation for being friendly and providing great results. After reading reviews and hearing from previous pupils I chose Mark Jordan Driving for this reason.
Having previously had lesson a few years prior with other instructors, I was anxious to start learning to drive again.
However, having Mark as my instructor immediately put me at ease as he started from the basics and slowly built up the skills required again. During this process he always put what I thought I needed to work on at the forefront of our lessons, and helped me to understand why I would struggle with certain situations.
Even when continuous overthinking of new skills would cause me to lose track of the basics ,which we had nailed weeks before, he always explained it calmly in a way that I would understand.
I definitely recommend Mark Jordan Driving, especially to anyone who feels anxious about driving. I passed my test first time and feel much more confident in driving than I thought I would at the start of this process.

I chose Mark Jordan Driving because they were recommended to me and they had an excellent reputation for reliability and first time pass rate.
It was also important to me to learn in a medium sized, new vehicle which would give me experience with the modern tech now found in most cars.
I didn’t know how I would feel on my first lesson but Mark my instructor explained everything clearly, step by step putting me immediately at ease.
The two hour lessons allowed me to consolidate the skills taught and build confidence as the weeks went on.
Mark was always on time and had a reassuring style of teaching whilst allowing me to choose the areas I wished to focus on. He encourages his students to choose the level of instructor input increasing independent thinking as the lessons progress.
I would recommend Mark personally as a driving instructor,
he is professional but friendly and I felt completely safe on the road from my first lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with him.
Thank you Mark for helping me pass first time.

Mark Jordan Driving School has helped me immensely to become a confident driver, originally being nervous and having to switch between instructors midway through my learning due to unfortunate circumstances but they have been there to help me every step of the way and work through it and adapt to my unique situation in short notice.
I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get into driving lessons, the 2 hour lessons they provide instead of 1 hour lessons are extremely helpful in getting the most out of each lesson.
A big thanks goes out to Richard who was very patient with me and helped me get over the finish line to finally pass my test, they’ve been incredibly helpful and provided clear instructions with a positive attitude all the way through the process and made me a really confident driver.
Thanks for everything!
