When choosing a driving school, the most important thing for me was finding an instructor who was patient and understanding, especially as I’m naturally quite an anxious person. What initially drew me to Mark Jordan Driving School was the reviews! Every review I read was positive, with so many people mentioning how friendly, patient and knowledgeable the instructors were. Seeing so many first-time passes was also really reassuring. I genuinely looked forward to my lessons with Mark. He’s a great instructor who explains things clearly, is patient and knows how to put you at ease. The lessons were always relaxed, and we could have a laugh and a chat whilst still learning and making progress. He’s really easy to get along with, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. To anyone thinking about learning with Mark Jordan Driving School, I’d definitely say go for it! I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about my experience, and I’m so pleased to have passed first time. Thanks again for everything Mark! 🚗

My instructor was Phil Booth. When i was looking for a new driving instructor, i wanted to find someone who i could count on to be there, was fun to learn with and could make sure i understood everything to the highest level. Phil was all these things and more, he truly cared for what i understood and what i didn’t to help me progress as a driver. If i ever needed more attention on certain things, we would spend extra time on it or if i simply needed a break we would take five minutes talking. Phil is an amazing driving instructor and without him i wouldn’t have been able to pass!

Something that was important to me was finding a driving instructor that was patient and calm. As someone that was extremely nervous I can say Richard put me at ease.

The lessons flew by as they were tailored to my skill level and what I felt comfortable doing. I never felt like anything was too hard. (Even if Richard threw in a few surprises along the way.)

I passed first time with 3 minors and I can safely say I'd recommend Richard and the Mark Jordan team to anyone that is about to start driving!

Mark Jordan Driving School have provided me with a comprehensive, thorough and, most of all, fun experience in my driving lessons. These lessons have resulted in me passing my driving test first time.

My instructor, Phil, has been a great teacher. At first, driving (especially manual!) was daunting to me, but very quickly he taught me how enjoyable driving can be through his detailed yet clear approach to tuition. His friendly and understandable demeanour helped me feel more comfortable in the driver’s seat, naturally helping me make fewer mistakes. Phil takes a lot of pride in his work, striving for perfection in his students. This, no doubt, set me up for success in my driving test and beyond.

I highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving School. My experience has been outstanding, and there clearly is a high standard set for all instructors part of the school. Thank you Phil and to the driving school for teaching me to drive, and helping me get through my test!

My experience with mark jordan was great and had an amazing instructer Phil! Every lesson I was made comfortable and Phil was extremely helpful in ensuring I was relaxed and prepared for my test with full confidence. I knew mark jordan was the correct place for me as it was highly recommended with good reason. Phil has made every lesson a pleasure with jokes and his patience- and i truly believe i could not have had a better instructer as he always gave me challenges and it was clear he had genuine care and confidence in all of his pupils. I would recommend this driving school to others and am so grateful i chose to learn here!

I can't think of any other driving school than Mark Jordan Driving School as my choice of school to learn driving with, not because I haven't been with any other driving school, but because I can't think of any reason why I would choose anyone else - and it's all thanks to my amazing instructor Richard Wall.

I'm the type of person to get nervous very easily because of my habit of overthinking everything, however Richard from the start has made me feel more comfortable behind the wheel than I thought I could ever be. Without Richard, I don't think there would be another person who could replace his patient, understanding and caring attitude, and his reassurance in doubtful or stressful times has made me believe that I can in fact drive, really well even. Every time I was unsure on something I wasn't afraid to ask Richard about it, and when I did he'd always go through my concerns with me in a clear and helpful way that made me understand; like if I needed help understanding a scenario on a roundabout, Richard was happy to give demonstrations on his iPad to help me clearly understand and visualise the scenario and then afterwards giving it a go whilst actually driving, and this really helped with building my confidence and knowing I'm prepared to do the right thing. I also appreciate Richard's effort in observing what I could do in the next lessons to further improve on my driving, as most of the time I wasn't fully sure what I wanted to do next, and even at times he would push me to do something trickier because he believed that I had the potential to go further. Richard's attention to my abilities made me believe that after every lesson I would've been taught something new that is valuable, even later on when I've already learned everything there is to learn and all that was left was practice.

I can't thank Richard enough for his efforts, and after having many great conversations and lessons for the past many months I'll forever remember him as the legend who helped me pass first time with no faults - something I believed would never ever happen to me. Definitely choose Mark Jordan Driving School for the best instructors in the area!

The main reason I chose this driving school was its excellent reputation, high pass rates, and positive reviews, as I wanted to learn with an instructor who was patient, supportive, and experienced. Other important factors included flexible lesson times, reasonable prices, and a friendly learning environment. Learning to drive was challenging at times, but it was much more enjoyable than I expected, and my confidence grew with every lesson. My instructor, Mark , was fantastic throughout the whole process. Their teaching methods were clear, patient, and tailored to my pace, which made me feel comfortable asking questions and helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend this driving school to others because of the professional and encouraging approach. The lessons were well organised, enjoyable, and gave me the skills and confidence to become a safe driver.

They say that sometimes bad things have to happen before good things can. However, none of that is true for my driving lessons with Richard Wall at Mark Jordan Driving School.
And for this I have no one to thank more than my instructor, Richard. I believe Richard to be the quintessential driving instructor, his calm and positive presence are a must have in an instructor. To put it simply, Richard was the most spectacular instrcutor a new driver could ask for. In particular, i believe Richard's teaching style to be a great factor in this belief, as even during tense moments, he is always able to keep as calm a mood as one can have after stalling at the same round-about 5 different times, and is always able to lighten the mood with a joke, as well as providing support without feeling judgemental or condescending, even during the worst of moments.
Mark Jordan Driving School and Richard were chosen as my sister had also used them previously, and had nothing less than terrific things to say about Richard. I did not have to consider particularly important factors for me as a learner prior to lessons, however im sure that if i had any, Richard would have ticked every box.
What else can i say about Richard Wall that has not already been said about the likes of Albert Einstein, Mozart or William Shakespeare. Prior to my First lesson, I would say that i was likely slightly less worried than most, but whatever anxiousness i did have was immediately quashed by Richard. He easily breaks down ideas that seem complex for new drivers into smaller more managable bites and is great at explaining techniques and road layouts through a mix of Ipad diagrams and explanations. He adapts to students own levels of skill and confidence, but always gives them final say in what they want. This balance allowed me to be pushed further without feeling stressed, as i knew if i began to struggle, Richard would be able to help. Even after just 1 lesson, I felt confident and safe enough to drive home, with Richard talking me through each step of the way. I would greatly recommend lessons that last 2 hours, as it leaves plently of time for understanding new ideas, practicing and becoming confident in them in a single lesson.
After only a few months of work and about a month of waiting for my test, I successfully passed first time with only 3 minor faults. For this I would greatly recommend Richard and Mark Jordan Driving School as a whole (but specifically Richard).
