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 Driving School 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 Driving School 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!

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.

II 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've had a great experience with 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 and my instructor Richard Wall.
From lesson one I was riddled with nerves and making silly mistakes however Richard kept reassuring me and eased my nerves, which helped my driving improve a lot.
He made it really enjoyable! Each lesson was something new and Richard talked me through every step of the way with plenty of helpful tips and tricks.
He was also happy to answer any of my questions no matter how silly they might've seemed too. With Richards tuition and understanding I managed to pass first time! Thank you!

Thank you for all your support, patience & guidance throughout my driving journey. Phil’s calm approach & unwavering belief in my abilities made all the difference. The clear constructive feedback every week helped me improve rapidly.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 offered me a truly memorable experience, and I am so happy to have passed my test the first time!
I cannot thank my instructor, Richard Wall, enough for his support over the past eight months. I know I wasn’t the easiest student to teach, but he never gave up on me. In every single lesson, he was there to encourage me and keep me going.
Even though there was a language barrier between us, Richard was incredibly patient. He taught me in a way that I could actually understand and enjoy. He truly went above and beyond; we didn’t just focus on test routes. To get me out of my comfort zone, he took me to Loughborough and Nottingham to ensure I was a confident driver in general, not just a ‘test’ driver.
I also know I wouldn’t have passed the first time if I hadn’t followed Richard’s advice to move my test date when he knew I wasn’t quite ready. To anyone looking to learn to drive,

The most important thing for me when choosing a driving school was having an instructor who is patient, understanding, supportive and willing to put in the time and effort for me. I had found this school and with ease I knew I wanted to learn through them.
My driving instructor was Phil, he is a brilliant driving instructor who had made the whole experience extremely positive and enjoyable. He has amazing patience, always gave clear advice and persistent encouragement, for someone being on the road for the first time this was amazing. He always made driving something to look forward to and there wasn’t a time that I did not want to go. I could not have asked for a better driving instructor to guide me through the rules of the road and to get used to the whole experience, he provided me with confidence behind the wheel and never made me doubt myself. He truly cares for his pupils.
I highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving School for anybody who is interested it is highly worth it and they provide you with all the knowledge you need to make driving easier. They have a great communication system and all pupils are at heart, the way that they operate I have not seen anywhere else.

Phil Passed 1st Time - Zero Faults
Read My Review
I Passed first time, with zero minors, all thanks to Phil at Mark Jordan Driving School.
Had a fantastic experience from start to finish and Phil helped me get over my initial anxieties over getting into a larger vehicle after riding motorbikes near daily for a number of years.
Phil was calm, knowledgable and a great person to talk to and to get to know and kept the overall tone light whilst still making sure I knew where I was going wrong and how to improve.
Honestly can’t fault him, or his teaching methods one bit. If you are local to the area and need an instructor thats both professional and a delight to be around then you can’t go wrong with this driving school. Once again.
Thanks for everything Phil and the team for getting me through this milestone with ease!

When choosing who I was going to learn to drive with I wanted them to have good reviews , which is when I found Mark Jordan Driving School through Facebook.
I also found it important that my instructor was easy to get on with, which Mark who was my instructor definitely was. On my first lesson Mark put me at ease straight away.
Before I started to learn to drive I was nervous and worried I wouldn’t get along with my instructor but that was actually the opposite.
The way Mark taught me was really good, allowing me to take my time and tackle new situations and obstacles at my own pace and never rushing me, he even taught me what to do when your car breaks down at a junction.
Mark would discuss with me at the end of each lesson the things that went well and the things I could practice in my own car, these notes were then sent to me every week.
My journey has been challenging at times but Mark was always at hand to help me work out how to push through, it all paid off as I can’t actually believe I passed 1st time with no faults, I actually didn’t believe the examiner and asked them to say it again.
I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan Driving School to others, thank you so much Mark! .. Molly – Swadlincote
