I already knew i was going to enjoy driving but after being with Mark Jordan Driving School it was honestly one of the best experiences i’ve had.
.
My instructor was Mark himself and starting out i had not a clue what i was doing but that was no issue. Each lesson we’d gradually build up confidence in each area of driving making sure i was fully comfortable with what i was doing, all the while him having every confidence in me too.
.
I felt no pressure to have to do anything i was afraid of which in the end was what’s allowed me to pass first time. He was everything i could have asked for as i was worried about my instructor being cold and unapproachable but he was the opposite.
.
I felt as though i could talk to him about anything being driving related or not. After my sister having him as an instructor too being i could tell we’d get along well and we definitely did.
.
The way he teaches is genuinely a gift and had i had any other instructor i feel like i would not have passed.
Even speaking to my friends about our instructors i feel proud to show him off almost.
.
I would 10000% recommended Mark Jordan Driving, thank you so so much for everything.

After years of thinking about it (and being far too anxious to go for it!) Last year I finally set my sights on learning to drive, and searching through numerous schools Mark Jordan stood out for having many fantastic reviews and passes so I reached out, and with time slots to help accommodate around work was paired with my instructor Richard Wall almost immediately, and took my first lesson only a few weeks later. The discounted block bookings are great as they help you get your lessons planned in well in advance so less stress week to week.
From the first lesson, I found Richard to be a fantastic instructor, he helped to explain both the technical aspects of driving and operating a car, and the behaviours expected of you and other road users. We took extensive notes every week, meaning whenever something popped up we could look back and see what to focus on, and Richard was very easy to work with, allowing me to offer my own ideas about lesson plans and always answering any questions I had (as small or insignificant as I might have felt they were).
Over the course of a year, I’ve gone from being nervous behind the wheel on my first lesson, to not only learning the technical skills i need to drive, but developing my own ability to assess mine and other people’s actions on the road and how I can safely navigate the roads with other drivers. The most valuable skill of course is confidence, which comes with time but also a great instructor providing me with the tools and encouragement to get to where I needed to be. Right up until the morning of my test, Richard remained vigilant at keeping me observing and remembering all the important little things as well as the big. He was friendly and approachable throughout and always answered any questions I had.
If you’re considering Mark Jordan Driving School, I highly recommend! Keeping in close contact to arrange lessons, sending you all the lesson plan details so you can practise at home and prepare for your lessons, and the website has some fantastic resources for new learners! Thank you to MJ and Richard for getting me road ready!

When looking for a driving instructor I wanted to make sure I found a school who had good pass rates and reviews, as well as patient and understanding instructors. Mark Jordan driving school was perfect and my instructor Mark Jordan helped me to feel more confident when driving, especially after swapping from another driving school.
From my first lesson with Mark up until my driving test he prepared me for my test and made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions and ask for help when I needed it. Mark used a range of techniques to help me getting a better understanding and had a solution to every driving fault I dealt with. Every lesson Mark used his iPad to take notes of how the lesson went, what went well, what could I improve and what I wanted to work on the following week. These notes would be emailed to me at the end of each lesson and this was useful for when I was driving my own car as I knew what to work on when going out with my parents, to get ready for my next driving lesson.
Mark helped me to believe in myself and my driving and built my confidence throughout my lessons which helped me to pass my driving test 1st time. I would recommend Mark Jordan Driving School to anyone who is looking for patient and caring instructors who will prepare you for your test and make help you to feel at ease throughout. Thank you to Mark for guiding me through the process and helping me to feel positive about myself and my driving, even when I wanted to give up.

When searching for a driving instructor I was looking for someone who had good reviews, good pass rates and patient instructors. So Mark Jordan Driving was perfect for me.
Learning to drive has been a crazy journey for me, but I have loved every second of it thanks to my driving Instructor Mark Jordan.
Mark was a fantastic instructor who made me feel comfortable in my lessons from day one of learning to drive until I passed my test first time. Mark used different ways of teaching like demonstrations and visual drawings on his iPad which helped me understand and learn how to drive.
Mark was also very committed to help me succeed and he was so encouraging. His personality and great sense of humour always put me at ease when I was in my lessons.
It’s been a great experience and a pleasure learning to drive with Mark Jordan and I would 100% recommend Mark Jordan Driving to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive.

I initially choose Mark Jordan’s driving school because of availability. It was just after the pandemic lock down when my son wanted to learn to drive and there were very few driving instructors available.
It was important that the school I chose had good reviews from other parents/students, decent price for lessons, friendliness of the instructors and regular feedback on progress
Learning to drive with one of the instructors, Richard Wall was fantastic. Rich is a very open and honest person who gives valuable constructive feedback.
His teaching methods were perfect for my son. He was friendly yet constructive in his approach to teaching. My son can sometimes be lazy and needs to understand why you have to do certain things and Rich always provided this for him.
I would highly recommend Mark Jordan’s driving school because it provided me with a great service. Rich is an amazing instructor and I will try and book him when my other son learns to drive in November.

Mark Jordan’s Driving school was the one that stuck out for me for it’s fantastic reputation, 2hr lessons and friendly staff.
Due to feeling anxious about driving, it was important to me to find lessons where the instructor was patient to ease my anxiety.
I had Mark as my instructor and he exceeded all of my expectations, he made me feel at ease every lesson and always had so much confidence in me. I loved how we would lay out each lesson and talk through objectives for the day and how responsibilities would be shared.
Mark is very professional and has fantastic teaching methods whilst building a friendly relationship with you.
I can’t recommend his driving school enough! Thank you for everything! And giving me my driving freedom!

Other factors which I found very positive was the professionalism and reliability. I was able to re-visit each lesson due to the feedback and notes sent after every single lesson via email, this assisted me incredibly well during my lessons as I could identify my strengths and weaknesses, and set myself goals to complete for the following lesson. I found this highly useful and feel I progressed much quicker due to having access to the information from every single lesson from day 1.

I had no expectations prior to my driving lessons, however once they began, I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive and felt it was a beneficial experience when learning with Mark Jordan Driving School due to their effective methods of teaching. I found the experience not too difficult due to the breakdown of every step, but just enough to keep my brain flowing and allowing the information to build up as the lessons progressed. Learning to drive was slightly nerve wracking at first, however I became more and more confident because of the friendly attitude I received within the lessons.

My driving instructor was Mark. He was very supportive and patient with me from beginning to end. My confidence improved majorly, and I believe that is all down to Mark as he encouraged me during every lesson. I never felt pressured or misunderstood, and I was able to pass first time!
–
The teaching methods I felt really helped me, I understood every explanation explained massively, and was able to ask questions and receive in depth answers back. I enjoyed learning with the techniques and feel they really benefited me. –
I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan Driving School! I believe their teaching methods and instructors are suitable for everyone, as they are friendly, supportive and their methods are very helpful! I was able to pass first time, with very little nerves due to an increase in my confidence!
