Passed today with just 2 minor faults.
After failing two tests 18 years ago when I was just 17 I had not set foot into a driver's seat since, I had become too anxious about the whole situation and I never wanted to drive again but with a massive change in my life situation, learning to drive again became something I had to knuckle down and do.
I needed to find an instructor and school that would understand me and cater my lessons to my past experiences and current anxiety, I chose to go automatic as gears were then one less thing I had to think about.
I spoke to Andy my instructor on the phone before any of my lessons began back in December so that he knew exactly how I felt and what I wanted to achieve.
Each week I was getting and feeling more confident and the lesson structure worked great for me, especially visuals on the ipad too.
Andy is a very calm and patient instructor and will always answer any questions you have.
My work commitments changed during the course of my lessons and he was also very accommodating with fitting me in on different times & days so that lessons weren't lost.
Some weeks i found harder than others but we would never jump to the next task if Andy wasn't 100% sure that I had mastered the one before, with roundabouts being a big sticking point for me we spent quite a few weeks focusing on them until I fully understood what I needed to be doing and looking for.
Fast foward to today, I drove over to Burton, got my nerves and last minute jitters out and entered my test feeling like I could 100% pass it because of everything I have learnt over the past 6 months.
So if your looking for a driving school and instructor that fully understand you, then this is the one.
I cannot thank Andy enough, he has literally changed my life.
Thank you

The most important thing for me when choosing a driving school was finding an instructor who was patient and reliable.
Learning to drive was a much more positive experience than I anticipated.
I thought I’d be more nervous, but with Richard as my instructor, I quickly grew in confidence. His teaching methods were clear, calm, and easy to follow. Richard broke everything down step by step and always explained everything thoroughly.
The lessons were well structured, but also adapted to my pace, and the encouragement I received made a huge difference. I always felt supported and prepared, which made the test feel less daunting.
I would 100% recommend 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 to anyone learning to drive because the experience was professional, friendly, and effective. Thanks to Richard, I not only passed my test but also feel confident driving independently.

I’m so glad to have learnt and pass my test with this driving company they are very supportive, caring and helpful for anything I was struggling with or needed extra help on.
Andy my instructor provided an amazing experience within my lessons that will be greatly missed, he provided a nice clam and supportive environment using different resources such as an iPad apps and mock tests to help me even more with manoeuvres and anything to help me pass.
He ensured that I was fully ready for my test going over and over manoeuvres until I was fully confident in myself which then led me to pass my test first try, which I’ve very very appreciated for and I would recommend this driving company for anyone who is wanting reliable, helpful and supportive lessons to pass tests 🙂

I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹.

I can confidently say Richard my instructor is an outstanding instructor. From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel, which really helped to boost my confidence. Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, always taking the time to explain things clearly and ensuring I understood each aspect of driving.

Richards teaching style is both practical and encouraging, which made learning really good and enjoyable.
I appreciated how he also tailored the lessons to my individual needs, focusing on areas where I needed more practice.
Thanks to Richard’s guidance, I passed my driving test first time with flying colours.
I highly recommend 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 and Richard to anyone looking for skilled and supportive driving instructors!

I found Mark Jordan Driving online and contacted them to find an instructor available and was really pleased that they didn’t book a year in advance so was advised to contact at a certain date and was able to get a lesson with Richard Wall.
I was nervous but definitely didn’t need to be Richard has been amazing. His instruction clear and great at reassuring you.
When I was test ready and we were just waiting for my test to come up we had sporadic lessons just to keep a check on my driving and to practice things I was less confident about. I passed first time and that’s a massive thank you to Richard.
So pleased I passed first time but will miss my lessons!

Highly recommended Mark Jordan Driving School.

Mark Jordan Driving School offered me the best experience – it was fun, friendly, and I managed to pass first time with great help from Richard! When choosing my driving school I was looking for an experienced driver, high pass rates and friendliness; Richard Wall provided all three with much enthusiasm and passion.

I gained so much self-confidence and perseverance along with reassurance and positivity from Richard, from start to finish. I am so thankful to have Richard as my instructor as the teaching methods and driving experience was clear, well-expressed and enjoyable. Everything is tracked and logged for you to have easy access to notes of what went well and how to improve.

I would highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving School as I had such a positive experience, for the price of lessons you certainly get a lot of knowledge, professionalism and experience out of it!
Thank you Richard for such an incredible time, I am so grateful and have learnt so much from you, and passed my test at the end of it all!

I would highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving school and especially Andy.
.
I decided to re take my driving lessons after my confidence being knocked with a different driving school. He was amazing and really reinstalled my confidence his methods of teaching are always calm and relaxed and so patient!
.
At the end of every lesson we would go through what we thought went well and what we should practice the following week on the iPad and he would send it to my email which I thought really helped.
.
He really went above and beyond to make sure I was ready for my test he even gave up his day off to take me out one last time before my test!
.
I PASSED 1ST TIME! I couldn’t recommend Mark Jordan Driving School and Andy enough! Thank you again.

I had an amazing experience with Andy as my driving instructor at Mark Jordan Driving School.
He was incredibly patient and kept me calm throughout the entire process, which made learning to drive so much less stressful. His teaching style was excellent, and he showed me how to be a confident and safe driver.
I really appreciated how he used the iPad for clear and easy demonstrations—it made understanding everything so much simpler. Andy truly went above and beyond, and I would 100% recommend Mark Jordan Driving and Andy to anyone looking to learn to drive.

I was looking for another driving school after I was let down and feeling frustrated with another school. I got in touch with Mark Jordan Driving who very quickly found me an instructor who could fit in around me.
Richard very quickly put me at ease behind the wheel and helped me build confidence. The way Richard teaches from explaining, showing pictures on the iPad and reviewing each lesson asking what strengths and weaknesses you thought you have/had really helped to see what areas I needed to improve on and worked on them in the next lesson.
Richard’s commitment and communication through out the whole learning process was above and beyond. From texts when he was ready to start the lessons to emails with the lesson progression and the plan for next lesson and I am extremely grateful for his knowledge and guidance throughout.
I would Recommend Mark Jordan Driving and Richard to any one who is looking for driving lessons.

My experience with Mark Jordan Driving has been amazing.
I was very anxious about learning to drive at first but always felt at ease with my instructor, Richard. I learn best when things go wrong or unplanned and Richard always let me figure the situation out on my own or prompt me to fix the situation before doing it for me.
I felt this really helped me understand what went wrong and why and change it for next time. I really like the fact that this driving school offer 2 hour lessons instead of 1, as it allows for more learning instead of rushing to get as much driving as possible done in a short amount of time.
My instructor, Richard was amazing at helping me understand what I was learning before going straight into it. For example, he would give me a detailed “brief” explanation of what we were going to do before actually doing it.
This was helpful when doing things like roundabouts, certain manoeuvres and going through harder routes as i felt more prepared. Richard has also been so understanding and helped plan lessons around my schedule despite how annoying cancelling and rebooking my lessons must’ve been!
I’m really glad I chose Mark Jordan Driving as I couldn’t have passed my test without them.

I would recommend Mark Jordan’s Driving School to anyone.

After choosing them based on their excellent reviews and knowing friends that had passed first time with them I knew I was in good hands and I passed today first time.

Mark, my instructor, made that possible! He was kind, patient and helped lower my anxiety so much until it was non-existent.

This was achieved by allowing me to work on each subject at my own pace and giving me time to work on controlling my anxiety, which at the start was off the scale.

We only tackled something new when I was fully ready and prepared to do so, and if I didn’t feel comfortable when we did tackle it, he was happy for me to hold off and come back to it when I felt ready.

He sent me my notes every week that we had discussed at the end of each lesson, this allowed me to practice in my own car on the areas that I knew needed improving.

It was a pleasure to learn with Mark Jordan Driving School and I have already said I would recommend them to anyone. Mia
