Mark Jordan Driving School Reviews

When choosing a driving school, I looked into which schools were highly recommended and what reviews had to say. With Mark Jordan being the most highly rated and having the best reviews, I decided to book my first block of 4 two hour lessons, this is another reason I wanted to learn with this school as I thought having the extra time would benefit me and it definitely did. Learning to drive was quite difficult to begin with for me as I wasn’t great at remembering exactly what to do, but Mark always allowed time for me to go over whatever I needed and didn’t rush me to go into new things when I didn’t feel ready. I also had one of the instructor that Mark was training (Phil) with us for a few lessons who was lovely too and although he wasn’t my instructor I would recommend him aswell as he was also easy to talk to, the same as Mark. My instructor also used an ipad to explain certain driving things and show me pictures of some of the more difficult roundabouts and other parts of burton which really helped. I really enjoyed learning with Mark as he also allowed me to decide what I wanted to do/learn each lesson. During one of my lessons with Mark he also had to teach me how to deal with a brake down which was very useful incase I need to know in the future😂😬. I would recommend this driving school, especially Mark himself to anyone looking for lessons, he always made sure I was comfortable enough to ask questions even if we had been over it many times before ( parallel parking, sorry Mark😂) I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan driving school for lessons if you want a reliable and calm instructor that makes you feel comfortable from the very first lesson. Thank you Mark for the lessons, building my confidence up and helping me achieve a first time pass👍🏻👍🏻

When choosing a driving school I would recommend Mark Jordan especially Richard who was my instructor who is very patient and calm which built my confidence and got me through my test, he used many teaching methods one being an ipad with many useful apps to give thorough explanations and great visual examples of the select situation. Mark jordan driving and my instructor Richard specifically helped me get through my test fast and easy, i highly reccomend.

I wanted someone who could be reliable and who would help me work on my weaknesses. Mark worked lessons around my busy schedule and stuck with me travelling back and forth between uni and home. I couldn't recommend Mark Jordan Driving more. Learning to drive was a constant learning curve but lessons showed me the most important thing is just that it is all about experience and dedication. I was taught by Mark and he helped me feel at ease and altered his teaching methods depending on what worked for me. He could answer every question I had and seemed to know everything there was to know about driving and the test routes. His use of an iPad and stopping to go over the best way to tackle difficult situations and acting out scenarios was extremely helpful and useful to understand why I was doing things and not just doing what I was told. He helped me to build confidence on areas I had previously failed on and always approached it in a positive way. Mark made sure I was reflecting on the drive and wanting my input as well as giving his. I would 100% recommend Mark Jordan Driving if you want to have driving lessons you can both progress quickly in and enjoy.

When it came to looking for a driving instructor, I was considering what their pass rate was as well as them being trustworthy. From my first lesson up to my test, my driving instructor Mark Jordan helped me feel confident and safe behind the wheel, teaching me a lot of useful different driving techniques. After each lesson he’d note down what went well and not so well so I knew what to focus on in my next lesson. I found that really helpful and would definitely consider this driving school to those who are looking to start their driving lessons. A big thank you to Mark.

The most important criteria for me when choosing a driving school was finding an instructor who was patient, calm, and friendly, while also being professional and constructive with feedback. I wanted someone who could provide a supportive learning environment and who was genuinely interested in helping their students succeed. It was important that the instructor would be understanding and encouraging, making the learning process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I also prioritized finding an instructor who could offer useful resources and structured teaching methods to ensure I could succeed in both the theory and practical stages of the driving exams. It was important for me to have an instructor who could explain things clearly and provide step-by-step guidance. Additionally, I needed someone who could accommodate my school schedule and extracurricular activities, as I have a busy lifestyle with homework, sports, and social commitments. Learning to drive with Mark Jordan was a lot less stressful than I had anticipated. Initially, I was worried about finding an instructor who could work around my school and activities, and I was concerned that the lessons might be nerve-wracking or awkward. However, Mark exceeded all my expectations. I had imagined driving lessons to be tense and intimidating, but Mark's calm and friendly demeanor put me at ease from the very beginning. His structured approach and clear explanations helped me build confidence and skills at a comfortable pace. The lessons were always well-organized and focused on making steady progress, which was reassuring. Mark's teaching methods were exceptional. His lessons were well-structured and never felt rushed. Key skills were introduced clearly and comprehensively, with each lesson building on the previous one. Mark's approach was to guide my progress through personal target setting and constant reflection on each drive's strengths and weaknesses. This method ensured that I was always making steady progress and addressing any areas needing improvement. Mark was patient and never rushed me onto new skills before I was ready, which made me feel confident and well-prepared at every stage. Mark's ability to create a supportive and friendly learning environment made a huge difference in my driving journey. He was always patient and understanding, which helped build my confidence on the road. His professional yet approachable manner ensured that I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification whenever needed. The constant reflection and well-defined goals set at the start and end of each lesson made sure I was always making observable progress. Mark's dedication to his students and his passion for teaching were evident in every lesson. Thank you so much for your time, support, and teaching, Mark! You have been amazing!

When I was looking for a driving school, I wanted someone trusted with a good reputation for being friendly and providing great results. After reading reviews and hearing from previous pupils I choose Mark Jordan Driving for this reason. Having previously had lesson a few years prior with other instructors, I was anxious to start learning to drive again. However, having Mark as my instructor immediately put me at ease as he started from the basics and slowly built up the skills required again. During this process he always put what I thought I needed to work on at the forefront of our lessons, and helped me to understand why I would struggle with certain situations. Even when continuous overthinking of new skills would cause me to lose track of the basics ,which we had nailed weeks before, he always explained it calmly in a way that I would understand. I definitely recommend Mark Jordan Driving, especially to anyone who feels anxious about driving. I passed my test first time and feel much more confident in driving than I thought I would at the start of this process.

Literally the best experiences and one of the best instructors (richard wall) i cant believe i passed FIRST TRY!!!!! Absolutely extraordinary. Im shocked at how well and fast i was taught from richard. If there was 10 stars i would click 10. I cant wait to start driving. Thankyou again for letting me curb the car multiple times.

Mark Jordan Driving School is possibly the easiest recommendation I have ever and will ever make. My instructor, Richard Wall, took onboard my issues, strengths and weaknesses. Understood them and we collectively worked out a plan to get me passed. Having memory issues and other 'hidden disabilities' were always a worry. But easily overcome with having someone like Richard as a coach. He was always calm, always on point and a real joy to learn from. He's a lads lad at heart, some might even say a 'Bro' (private joke), which made getting along a real breeze. He's very knowledgeable and the kind of guy you look forward to having a chat with. The structure of the lessons are personalised and easy to understand, yet detailed enough to know what you need to work on. Rich will speak to you before, during and after in terms of your ability and will always give you the opportunity to express your view on strengths and weaknesses. This plays a vital role in truly understanding your competence and natural talents. Having someone like Richard evaluate and confer over your aptitude is a gift. He never once got frustrated and inherently imparts assurance and the right level of self-confidence with every lesson. My 2 hour lessons comprised of beginning with a short drive to a suitable place to practice manoeuvres, followed by independent driving utilising signage or SATNAV, latterly refining dual-carriageway proficiency. Sometimes in alternating patterns to avoid monotony. All whilst learning how to drive safely, negating a wide variety of dangers and grasping the pedantry of traffic and roadwork avoidance, making use of alternate routes, erstwhile gaining those experiences. To give a brief note on context. My health took a dive in my late teens and life took over rendering me unable to get behind the wheel (Epilepsy, A.D.D, Chronic Migraines and memory loss, among other health issues). As soon as legally able, my wife began research on reputable driving schools. These reviews played a big role in selection, so I’m more than happy to represent the ‘hidden disability’ part of society and personally advocate Mark Jordan Driving School and more specifically their instructor Richard Wall. Thank you for putting up with me in lessons and succinctly becoming a part of my life, that myself and family will never forget. Forever grateful for your driving wisdom and forever thankful to meet another altruist of 'The Book Of Useless Information' Thanks Bro

I've always loved the idea of driving so when I was looking for a driving instructor I was advised to read reviews first. I looked at Mark Jordan Driving and their reviews really stood out to me, everyone saying exactly what I wanted in an instructor. On contacting them the communication via email was great, letting me know exactly what to expect on my first lesson, and who my instructor was. My instructor was Mark and he was great at getting me ready to tackle the roads of Burton and Swadlincote, he was always calm and patient right from the start and right up until the final lesson before my test. Mark's teaching methods were great, he would use his Ipad to explain tricky roundabouts and junctions and also act out scenarios, for those situations that may never actually happen whilst on a lesson. We would make notes at the end of each lesson and go over what I believed I needed more practice on, but also the areas that I thought I had really improved on from the previous week. These notes were then emailed to me so I could go over them before the next lesson, this helped me focus on the lesson at hand. I would highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving school to anyone looking for a calm and patient instructor, they will go out of their way to help you succeed and make that 1st time pass like mine a reality. Thanks Mark you have kept my love of driving alive throughout my lessons and even more so now I have passed.

We decided to use Mark Jordan Driving after seeing the positive reviews online. Particularly, we valued the prompt response to emails alongside the good level of communication such as the weekly reflective logs to track my progress at home. My instructor Carly has been great at tailoring the lessons to suit my needs and I have found her to be reassuring and friendly in every lesson to make me feel confident for my test. She was always punctual and ready for the lesson and we’d certainly recommend her and the school to others.

Mark Jordan Driving School have offered me a wonderful and exciting driving experience and helped to pass 1st time. I have really enjoyed the experience and recommend to anyone who is worried about learning to drive or just wanting to drive in general. My instructor Richard Wall gave me the confidence and reassurance throughout my time with the driving school. I liked how friendly and understanding Richard was towards me and how he gave clear teaching methods of driving that were simple to learn and follow. The teaching methods are very effective and give you a great understanding of the highwaycode and the roads. Overall, I would 100% definitely recommend Mark Jordon Driving School to anyone as they offer brilliant lessons with professional, kind and understanding instructors. Thank you for getting me through my test Richard, I am truly grateful.

I would definitely recommend Mark Jordan driving school to any learner wishing to gain the knowledge needed for their driving journey. The schools use of two hour lessons is a great way to learn with enough time to grow your knowledge and theory surrounding the highway code as well as apply this through practical experience across a variety of roads. This was great for me throughout my learning as it enabled me to make a lot more progress throughout each lesson. As an instructor, Richard was great at making me feel comfortable behind the wheel due to his patience. He has a great understanding of how different learners may feel about this new experience and is able to adapt his teaching style depending on the confidence of each of his students. The methods that Richard used during lessons was very effective and really furthered my understanding of certain scenarios. When learning something new he would use an iPad to show demonstrations of different situations relating to the lesson objective. This would usually be paired with a conversation about what is happening therefore readying me to have a go throughout a hands on approach. Overall, I would recommend Mark Jordan driving school to anyone looking for valuable driving lessons as the help of Richard enabled me to achieve a 1st time pass.

After being let down on multiple occasions by a previous independent instructor, I decided to look into other instructors in my area and Mark Jordan Driving School stuck out, and rightfully so as I had truly amazing lessons and managed to pass my test first time. Starting driving lessons is always scary but, for me, having Richard Wall as my instructor made the fear turn into excitement to be driving. Richard was patient and friendly from the second I got into the car for my first lesson and every second after which greatly helps, as a naturally nervous person I felt relaxed during the lessons. He was always reassuring and helped me to boost my confidence in my own driving skills through the little phrases and acronyms, the in depth explanations, reminding me of things that I forgot and correcting my mistakes in kind and effective ways. Overall, I found the teaching methods incredibly effective and helpful. I always looked forward to my driving lessons with Richard and I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. He was always on time, would message me to let me know of any changes and told me weeks in advance if he was unable to make a lesson. It is very easy to have conversations with Richard which made me much more comfortable in my lessons as I am a very talkative person and while teaching me to drive he managed to create a comfortable space where we were able to talk normally. I would highly recommend Mark Jordan Driving School to anybody wishing to learn to drive and I am forever grateful for the experience :).

I heard about the Mark Jordan Driving School through family friends. They offered convenience in the form of coming to pick you up instead of you having to go somewhere, my instructor was Richard. From the second lesson onwards you are driving as much as you want/can. This surprised me because it showed my instructor's (Richard's) faith in my abilities. As a result, my confidence grew a lot faster than I expected. You always feel safe in Richard's car as he is impressively observant, always keeping an eye on you, your intention, everyone else on the road, and the car itself. I found that Richard's style of teaching was very effective. You don't just feel safe though, you feel comfortable. This is because Richard is a genuinely really nice guy. As your experience grows you can find yourself getting sound life advice and have fun conversations, never a dull moment with Richard. When you do make a mistake, or it is clear that you haven't understood something though, Richard is quick to address the issue professionally and efficiently. You will understand where you are going wrong and what you should be doing. I would absolutely recommend the Mark Jordan Driving School, and if you do end up with my instructor, Richard, you are in capable hands with an incredible instructor. Also tell him I said "hi". -Saul

Brilliant driving school. I started learning with this company a few years back as a friend reccomended them, but due to circumstances had to stop lessons for a while. Finally resumed lessons and wanted to use them again because of how good they were first time. This time round my instructor was Richard and he was absolutely fantastic, explained everything really clearly. Extremely patient even when i was making the same mistakes. Highly reccomend them if you're learning to drive.

When starting my driving lessons I was worried about what my instructor might be like and whether I’d get along with them but Mark put me at ease instantly and helped me develop my existing skills whilst still introducing new ideas and concepts in an understandable and effective way. This allowed me to pass first time after only 3 months which I will be eternally grateful for! Thank you Mark Jordan!

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 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 and Richard to any one who is looking for driving lessons.

I highly recommend my driving instructor Richard. I suffer with anxiety as part of my ptsd and started as a nervous driver. Richard was patient and understanding. I can't thank him enough for getting me to pass even when i doubted myself when i failed on previous ones.
