I meant to send this email as soon as I passed my driving test on the 30th of May, however I got caught up with finishing uni assignments before I went away on holidays, and I just got back two weeks ago. I really wanted to make sure that I provided feedback on Mark’s teaching, as I am so grateful for his help in me getting my licence. Mark is truly an incredible teacher, more of a “coach” I’d say, as he is always encouraging you to improve and to do your best. He was extremely thorough, and from day one pushed me to be aware of everything that was going on around me on the road. I will always remember in one the first lessons I had with him where he would repeat “mirrors, indicators, position”, which at the time I found a lot to process and remember to do, however I know am thankful for, as it helped me to become a better driver. This thoroughness also helped build my confidence greatly, as I felt more control over the vehicle and my ability to drive it. He was always calm while I was in the car with him, which I found extremely helpful in reducing my anxiety around driving. Above all, Mark was always a happy spirit to see every week for my weekly driving lesson. He was always laughing and joking around, which made each lesson a lot of fun, and something that I now really miss!! And finally, I will never forget how helpful Mark was on the day of my test. He went above and beyond, meeting me early to get as much practice in as possible and to help me calm my nerves. So all I can say is that, in my opinion, Mark is the best driving instructor out there!
