Brighton Learners. Real Success Stories.

Started learning with Mark at age 27 having never driven a car before and passed first time after a few months.  Always very patient and encouraging. Helped me get very prepared for my test and only got 3 minors.  Highly recommended for the driving and is good for an interesting chat as well.  Cheers Mark

I passed my test today, and can’t recommend Mark more as an instructor. He will help you get there no matter what, and is very reassuring and patient if you are nervous on the road like me. Success!

Highly recommended. Mark is always calm and encouraging, and he explains things like manoeuvres in a fool-proof way. His experience in getting people through the test shows. Reliable, on time and the lessons are good value for money. All the reviews here say the same thing, and that’s because Mark is a great instructor!

Passed first time at age 36. I had zero driving experience before my first lesson and was fairly nervous but Mark’s friendly and professional approach put me straight at ease. He is a great instructor: clear, patient, experienced, reassuring, reliable and always on time. He is also a nice and funny guy and I’ve enjoyed my lessons with him.

Mark is an absolutely brilliant instructor! Always patient, calm and able to provide clear instructions and guidance, and more more importantly really helped me build up my confidence. I am 33 and passed first time – I could’t be happier! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Thanks! Passed my test first time last week. Mark is a very experienced and patient instructor who quickly built up my confidence on the road. What made it different from other instructors was the fact that I always looked forward to my lessons and had some fun while learning to drive which made me feel more relaxed. He was always on time and genuinely keen to teach you how to drive well. I wont forget the great driving experiences. Thanks again and see you around town! Jules

Mark is an excellent instructor and can tell he is very experienced, he was always on time and never cancelled a lesson on me. Very understanding and patient and only wants whats best for the learner. I passed first time and can only thank Mark for this. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive.

Mark is an excellent instructor – extremely patient and relaxed, whereas some other instructors in the past had been the opposite, to the point of putting me off driving entirely. He really taught me to drive, rather than just pass the test (which I did do at the first attempt with him). Would recommend him to anyone – Mark, if you’re reading this, thanks again!

I had previously heard about Mark through one of my friends who had recently passed with him at the time. He is a brilliant instructor and a really nice and funny guy, he was always understanding and supportive the whole time that he taught me to drive (also I had never driven before he taught me). I would always look forward to driving every week as he was always on time and we always had a good laugh. I passed my test today (11/10/13) and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Thanks again Mark!

I passed my test first time on the 21st of November with Carol, who is a great instructor. She makes sure you know everything you need for the test and is very reassuring to learn to drive with. I felt confident when I took my test and the result speaks for itself.

I had failed my test with a previous instructor and then taken a 3 year break from driving when Carol took me on! She managed to iron out all my bad habits and get me back up to test standard very quickly and I ended up passing my test on my then 2nd attempt. Carol has a lovely sense of humor and great personality, my driving lessons were never dull or a chore with her. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks again Carol!

With only 2 minors! Carol was an amazing instructor: I always felt safe and really enjoyed my lessons with her – she’s lovely! I’d heard so many stories about dodgy instructors and tests, and I assure you THIS WON’T HAPPEN WITH CAROL. She was always reliable, friendly and professional – to be honest, you’d be stupid not to take your lessons with her!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just passed my driving test first time with 2 minors with Carol. I would definately recommend Carol to anyone, she is a fantastic instructor and was incredibly patient with me as I was quite a hesitent driver to begin with. I never thought I would be able to be a confident driver but with Carols reassurance and encouragement I really progressed. Carol was always on time for every lesson and was really flexible around my college hours. I always felt relaxed in the car and have begun to really enjoy drving. I couldn’t have done it without her thank you so much and i’ll really miss our weekly chats!!! Thanks again.

I would like to say carol is a very good driving instructor,my two son’s the McCarthy’s had  carol as there instructor and they were very happy with her,She is very patient and very clear on giving advise and instruction’s.My eldest son passed first time at the age of 19 and my second son passed 2nd time at the age of 17,he was more nervouse than his older brother.They both said how lovely carol was and very patient.We have now passed carol’s number to a friend and he is now having lesson’s with carol.When the test centre moved to Burgess hill Carol took my son over there every week so that he got used to the roads at Burgess Hill.One of my son’s friends had his lesson’s in Brighton and just went for the driving test at Burgess hill, It took him three test to pass. We would highly recomend carol as a good driving instructure and i recomend anybody looking for someone to use to give carol a ring.We will definatly be passing carols name onto friends and in 2 years time our youngest son will be having lesson’s with her. Regards the McCarthys..

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 By rosabelle – Thank you Carol Carol taught me to drive over the University summer holidays. Even when I forgot how to park several times she did not dispair and I passed my test in September, before returning to Uni. I am fairly incompetent in general, so all credit to Carol and Streets Ahead!

Fantastic stuff! Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 By Chris Just passed my driving test on the first attempt and would like to thank Carol for her wonderful work teaching me to drive! Lesson times were flexible to my available time and were all engaging and conducted in a well humoured and instructive manner. I not only passed my test but had a good time doing it too. I would recommend Carol and Streets Ahead to anyone. Thanks again Carol!

Thank you Carol. I passed my test on my first attempt thanks to Carol. Carol was very patient and friendly from the get go. I wasn’t a confident driver I can definatly say that my confidence in my driving increased thanks to Carol, she always believed in me. Carol was always reliable and punctual and willing to accommodate arranging my lessons around my unusual shift patterns. I could not have asked for a better teacher. Thank you so much Carol.

I passed!! A huge thank you to Carol, having had lessons and a couple of failed tests back in London nearly 10 years ago, it feels great to finally have my licence! I thought I was a nervous driver but it turns out im not- I just needed a good instructor and with that came good driving and amazing confidence! 😀 I would recommend Carol to anyone who is serious about passing their test, she has such a good understanding of driving and how it can affect you, really good tips for manoevres and is very flexible and fair when it comes to booking in lessons…. THANKS CAROL, I cant wait to get in the driving seat and if I see you I will be sure to toot!
