Congratulations Nat on passing your test at Pontefract
I thoroughly recommend Mark as a driving instructor, having had three instructors previously, I can say without hesitation that Mark is by far the best. As an instructor, Mark is clear with instructions and sets high expectations whilst remaining calm and patient. I have looked forward to my lessons, knowing that I would be supported to learn in a completely safe and trusting environment. I am thrilled to have passed and will be recommending Mark to all friends and family! Thanks so much for all you've done!

I highly recommend Mark's Driving School. Mark is a great teacher who is kind, patient and has a peaceful grounded energy to make you feel safe on the road. He has taught me lots of important things about driving safe, correct and efficient. I wasn`t an easy student but he put up very well with me... Result? I have passed my driving test on my first try - all thanks to Mark.
Thanks once again! 5 stars

I started to learn to drive with Mark on my birthday in May 2016 and passed 1st time. I highly recommend Mark to anybody who is thinking of learning to drive as he focuses the lesson around you and what you want to do. Mark knows exactly what he is doing and will prepare you well for your driving test!

Started driving in November and to say the least I was nervous but very excited about learning to drive! Right from the word go Mark was very supportive and made me feel very at ease. He is extremely patient and really helps you to gain confidence as a new driver! None of my friends thought I would be a good driver or that I would pass first time, but with Mark's help I did! I would definitely recommend him to anyone, and thank you again.

Mark is a brilliant instructor. My first and only driving instructor and i passed first time with only 2 faults. He tells you little driving riddles that stick in your head so you never forget (only a fool breaks the 2 second rule) He is calm and so patient. Made me feel confident about driving on any sort of road and in any sort of situation. I would HIGHLY recommend Mark as your driving instructor.

Passed my driving test today with only two minors and I had Mark Gregory as my instructor and I must say he is an absolutely brilliant instructor!!! Unfortunately I didn't get along with my first ever driving instructor which really decreased my confidence in terms of driving, but I decided to give driving lessons another go and a lot of people recommended Mark to me and learning with him was the best choice Ive ever made because he really increased my confidence, he was really patient if I made a mistake and helped me correct mistakes in an easy way I could understand and he makes driving look and sound easy and hes really easy to talk to!! I would recommend Mark to anyone who wants to learn to drive :) Thanks again Mark!!

I cannot thank Mark enough for helping me gain the confidence to pass my test, At almost 40 I hadn't driven a car for almost 5 years after 3 failed attempts at my test, so I was in deep shock after passing my test with only 13 hours with Mark!! After the 1st lesson Mark put me at ease, such a friendly chatty guy who taught me how to drive not just to pass my test, making me think about my mistakes not just correcting me. Mark is throwing questions all the time to keep you alert his lessons could never be boring or repetitive. This guy is a 1st class driving instructors and I feel privileged to have been taught by him. Thanks again Mark

First pass in my new Mini goes to Dave Battley
I would recommend mark to anyone, having had 4 previous tests with a different driving instructor I felt I would never pass my driving test and didn't drive for over 10 years. However after many pushes from work, family and my friends, i decided to give it another go. Mark was patient, fun and created an environment i felt comfortable and relaxed in. Everything he said helped me drive safely not just for the test but for the rest of my life and i passed the test with just 3 minors with Mark.
Cheers.

After 5 months of driving from starting from scratch and never driven before Mark was patient and helpful in teaching me how to drive, Mark had helped me every step of the way and was helpful in building my confidence up and helped me learn how to read the different road situations and how to deal with them in a safe and appropriate way, mark is a very good diving instructor and will help you with anything you're not sure about or not fully confident in doing, I am definitely going to pass on his number because I couldn't fault anything wrong with any lesson or how he taught me. After 5 months of driving it finally paid off as I past first time and I only got 1 driving fault, all the thanks go to Mark on being there for me every step of the way, thanks again Mark

Louise Bools - Test Pass Driving Automatic.
At approaching 30 years old I decided it was about time I plucked up the courage to learn how to drive so I could take my son out on my days off work and wouldn't have to rely on my husband for everything! I aren't a very confident person anyway – and found busy roads quite intimidating and would easily get flustered. There were a few times where I let my insecurities get the better of me and I almost gave up altogether. But Mark has the patience of a saint and had more faith in me than I had in myself! And thanks to him boosting my confidence I have realised I am a better driver than I gave myself credit for – proven by the fact I passed my test with only 2 minors. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone – he is professional, always punctual and has a great sense of humour that make lessons fun! He teaches you the skills to make you a good and safe driver for life rather than just ticking the boxes to pass your test - which I think is very important. He really takes the time to get to know you and find the best ways to help you learn so you achieve your best. One word to sum up Mark as an instructor – awesome!

Mark was a fantastic driving instructor. After 8 years since my last driving lessons Mark helped me back into the swing of driving again. Without his professional attitude, good sense of humour, patience and ability to put you at ease I doubt I would have passed my test first time. I chose to do the Midway pass course which I found excellent for my needs. Mark talked me through what we would cover each lesson and gave me positive feedback at the end. Any niggles would be discussed and practiced at my speed and ability with no pressure to get it right first time round. I would like to say thank you to Mark for his kindness, professionalism and punctuality and would definitely recommend Mark to any learner who wants to experience first class tuition from a professional.

At 26 I decided I needed to stop being chauffeured around by my husband and learn to drive!! When I was 17 I did have around 6 months of lessons but for various reasons never ended up taking my test and in the years between I had lost my confidence with driving. Mark was very patient and made me feel completely at ease. There were several areas of driving (roundabouts and general reversing) I was very nervous about but after just a few lessons with Mark I felt a lot more comfortable and my confidence was definitely coming back. After 2 cancelled tests due to the brilliant snowy English weather, 3rd time was definitely a charm with weather staying on my side and I managed to pass first time with just 5 minors. Mark is someone I would recommend to anyone for driving lessons and thanks to him I will be able to take my new baby for days out. Thanks Mark!!

Mark has been a great, friendly instructor over the past few months. I am so happy to have passed my practical test first time. In addition, I have also picked up lots of useful information about road safety and driving in general which will no doubt benefit me for many years of driving. Overall, I would definitely refer any of my friends to Mark for a fun and successful time learning to drive.

I would highly recommend Mark as an instructor. I found him to be always patient and friendly. Lessons were hard work but enjoyable and it was nice to see how Id done in the previous lesson and build on those weak points in the next. I managed to pass my test first time which is all thanks to Mark's hard work and very patient attitude.

I had a great time learning to drive with Mark doing a semi-intensive course. The regular lessons really made a difference in my progress compared to just 1 hour a week. Mark is very easy to get along with which made it easier to relax whilst learning to drive. To start with I had no idea about how to drive but with Marks' patience my learning curve soon shot up. Mark not only wanted me to pass my test but to be continuously safe from there on after. I would 100% recommend Mark to anybody who wants to learn to drive with someone easy going and encouraging! Thanks a lot Mark for everything :)

I started to learn to drive when I was 17 and went from manual to automatic and had numerous instructors, I decided I wanted to stick with automatic as I could grasp this easier but i just couldn't find the right instructor. Now 21 I was recommended by someone to Mark and he was fantastic no matter how many times I did the same things wrong each lesson he was very patient and no matter how may excuses of having hair in my eyes and thats why I didnt check my mirrors properly he made sure I got there in the end. It was nice to have an instructor that you could have a laugh with on lessons aswell as him being very proffesional and getting you where you need to be for your test. I would recommend Mark to anyone and my sister who turns 17 soon will also be driving with Mark. Thank you again so much for all your help Mark can't wait to get on the road on my own now.

After having absolutely no idea about cars or how to drive them I thought passing would be years and years away! Then i had my first lesson with Mark, he is positive, professional and above all (thank god) very very patient.. to say I didn't know left from right. Mark made learning to drive enjoyable and eases your nerves because he's calm and has belief in you the whole way through. I'd recommend Mark to anyone because of all theses reasons and many more! With Mark driving becomes natural due to him making you think.. not just knowing how to push some pedals! Cheers Mark for everything :)

Then i had my first lesson with Mark, he is positive, professional and above all (thank god) very very patient.. to say I didn't know left from right. Mark made learning to drive enjoyable and eases your nerves because he's calm and has belief in you the whole way through. I'd recommend Mark to anyone because of all theses reasons and many more!

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Mark, he was professional, had a good sense of humour and always helped me if I needed it. (However the more lessons I had, I started to hear the words 'you do what you think is best!', something that would always make me laugh but also encourage me to think on my feet!) For anybody who wants driving lessons, I would definitely recommend Mark!

Josh Poyner - 1st time pass with zero faults! Well done Josh.
I would highly recommend Mark. He explains everything to you in a way that you can understand and is incredibly patient.
I found him to be reliable, friendly and approachable, he was very helpful with my theory training.
I passed my test first time with a clean sheet thanks to his concise method of training. Thank you Mark.

After stopping and starting driving for 3 years, due to the lack of confidence in myself I never thought I was going to come close to passing my test, but when I started learning with Mark no matter how much I put myself down Mark was always there to counter act my thinking with positive feedback which began to make me believe I could do it. Mark was always in jolly mood, immediately putting me in a positive frame of mind, it was a long road pun intended, but I got there all thanks to Mark, I highly recommend him to anyone, thanks again Mark :)

Mark always created a sense of calm and relaxation for a nerve-wrecked first time driver like myself. He created a sense of ease, and didn't 'throw me in the deep end' until I was absolutely ready

Mark is a fantastic driving instructor. I am not a confident person, but every lesson he always put me at ease and helped me to believe that I could drive. He was so patient and explained things how I would understand them. Lessons were always really fun, as Mark is such a down to earth guy so whilst learning how to drive we had a good laugh aswell - I even learnt how to look after chickens! And I do actually miss the lessons sometimes! Since passing my test my confidence has grown and that is down to Mark, I would recommend everyone to learn to drive with him.

Learning to drive with Mark has been a fun and enjoyable experience. He is a very good driving instructor as he is very patient and encouraging. He has a good sense of humour and is easy to get along with, which helped me feel more relaxed about learning to drive. I'm pleased to say that thanks to Mark I passed my driving test first time and I would recommend him to any one who is wanting to drive...Cheers Mark!!

I had a semi-intensive driving course with Mark, which I found was a lot better than 1 hour a week. The training I received was of very high quality and I found myself continually improving. The LDC books and DVDs that I used were excellent and aided me in preparing for my lessons. Mark is a very professional, friendly driving instructor and I always felt at ease. I am now a confident and safe driver and look forward to many years of driving!

I had a fun time learning to drive you were patient and really helpful with the tips made driving become a second nature for me seeing how driving didn't come easy to me.

I started driving lessons with Mark having taken 2 tests many years ago. I asked him to start me at the basics again as plenty of time had passed!
I found Mark's tuition style to not only be thorough but amazingly well considered. He broke each aspect down into small achievable steps allowing me to quickly build an excellent skills base.
Most of all he was very (very) patient and immediately put me at ease. I would whole heartedly recommend Mark to anybody. He obviously has a passion for producing good drivers rather than ones that are simply able to pass a test.
Nearly 2 years on I consider myself to be a good driver and many of Mark's saying stay with me to this day. I still hear him cough if I venture over the speed limit a little.

My first thoughts on driving was that I was never going to pass because I had no idea; from the first lesson Mark changed my mind - he was relaxed and a laugh to talk to, which seemed to take my mind off all the things I had to do and they just started to come naturally; doing them with out even noticing! I would recommend Mark to any body because he taught me so much in such little time, I had 29 hours spaced out over 9 months and because of Marks effort and ability I passed first time. So I guess it goes without saying cheers Mark!!

Hi Mark I just wanted to say many thanks for helping me to pass my driving test yesterday 14/11/11. My journey to achieving this was a long one for me! even longer I am sure for you! without the constant assurance you gave me especially when I honestly felt like I was banging my head against a wall you continued to boost my confidence when I was at my lowest. PATIENCE is something so important for a pupil and you certainly had it in buckets for me!!!!! I was so nervous I found everything so hard the night before lessons I would wake up thinking how will I get through the lesson tomorrow but when I would get in your car you thought me how to over come my nerves you believed in me. Mark you told me that I could achieve this and I have because of the belief you had in me.
I passed yesterday and an hour later I was at Junction 32 with my daughter this morning I did my first solo trip just to the local shops but what an achievement that was! This will make such a big difference to my family and especially my family when they visit from back home no longer waiting for the bus. I will strive to be the best driver I possibly can remembering all you have thought me. My life has already changed within 24hrs it"s amazing! from the bottom of my heart thank you so much.

After having completed a semi intensive course with Mark and taking my test at the Wakefield test centre, I'm pleased to say I passed first time. Mark is a good instructor, he is patient, helpful and has lots of useful tips to offer. Overall, my driving course was an interesting experience and I would recommend it and Mark to other people wanting to learn to drive. Liam Hobbs
