Review
I had 10 hours of lessons with driving instructor Mark. I had some previous driving experience in the past. I managed to pass first time which was amazing (Portsmouth). Mark was extremely kind and patient, when it came to the teaching side of things, but in general he is such a lovely guy. Having an instructor who makes u feel comfortable in the car with all with the added pressures of the road, is definitely a great addition. His teaching skills, be it he was a new instructor, was brilliant. I couldn’t have personally asked for any better. The company is great too, whenever I needed to cancel or change my lessons I was quickly messaged back to confirm these changes. Their automated system of sending a reminding message of my time slot and date of was also very helpful. Would definitely recommend this company
