Mark Bond
Many thanks for teaching ** and ** how to drive and pass their driving tests. Your patience, instruction and good humour has given us two safe and confident drivers.
Mum & Dad K I have really enjoyed my driving lessons with mark, makes you feel very comfortable and the learning process went smoothly. Would 100% recommend him as a driving instructor.
G - former learner 08/08/2024 Thank you Mark for being a brilliant instructor 🎉
Parent - 20/10/2023 A lovely review sent to us by a parent
L is very happy with Mark, which is great. She did say that she wishes she had Mark instead of her previous instructor as he is much better and knows so much more. She listens and learns from Mark and likes his manner. My wife and I are very grateful for this, and L appears the most motivated she has been in 12 months and is excited about her test. I want to thank you both for helping make this the case.
Parents - 05/10/2023 Passed my test, thanks so much for everything!

Ana - parent - 22/12/2022 Thank you for teaching me how to drive. I have really enjoyed my lessons. Thank you for everything
Hannah - 06/12/2022 Mark helped me to pass first time with just 6 months of lessons and in that time he taught me to manage my nerves and build up my confidence – he would even listen to my rants after having a bad day! Mark’s teaching techniques made me feel at ease and comfortable with driving and I would 100% recommended him to anyone looking for a patient and kind driving instructor!
Jessica - 13/11/2022 Here is my review, thank you again for your support!
In my time with Bond's Licensed to Drive, I have found Mark's way of teaching me to drive very useful and effective, and I often found myself looking forward to my Thursday afternoon lessons, as Mark was easy to talk to and get along with. I would definitely recommend Bond's Licensed to Drive to anyone looking to learn to drive.
Former learner - 30/10/2022 Bonds licensed to drive was amazing in helping me pass my driving test, a set 2 hour slot every week really helps with fitting a lot in. The way he teaches and interacts with me is lovely and helps me to learn quicker. He is so patient and explains everything if ever you need it. He is the nicest person to spend 30+hours with to chat and be friendly but still be learning more and more every week. It was a great experience with a great instructor, would 100% recommend 🙂
Former learner - 27/10/2022 It was an amazing drive I feel so proud of myself for only getting that much faults, thank you so much for all of the great driving lessons I’m really going to miss driving with you every Tuesday your such a good teacher and got me to test standards in just 5 months is incredible so thank you again😁
Former learner - 24/10/2022 As a parent searching for a driving instructor that was trustworthy, fairly priced and flexible, I couldn’t have done any better than ‘Bonds Licensed 2 Drive’. They were fantastic from start to finish and Marks patient, and knowledgeable approach made every lesson a pleasure for my daughter. 5 STARS!

Khai - 15/09/2022 Thank you so much Mark for believing in me and giving me the confidence with driving.
When I first started driving I was very nervous but with Mark’s patience and encouragement I got to where I am today with a first time pass!
Mark’s professionalism is next to none and he is an excellent driving instructor. If you’re ever unsure on something he will thoroughly go through it until you understand and are feeling confident.
Along with that he has a great sense of humour which definitely makes you feel more at ease.
Thanks again, I really enjoyed our lessons!

Ellie - 04/08/2022 Mark & Siobhan
Thank you so much for being so helpful and helping me pass my test!
Hannah - 13.04.2022 Son passed today first time after only 4 months of driving. With no other driving than weekly lessons, he was transformed from a nervous, anxious learner to a full licence holder due to Marks patience and understanding of the individual and their needs to maximise their potential.
I have no doubt my sons success was down to Mark and his personal and instructor skills.
100% recommend
Trevor - 08.04.2022 Thank you Mark for helping me pass my driving test. Mark is very helpful, supportive and an excellent driving instructor. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who wants to learn to drive and again thank you very much.
Rhys - 13.01.2022 Passed my driving test the first time, thanks to Mark! 🙂
Absolutely loved my driving lessons. Mark has been extremely supportive, always encouraging but objective in his judgements regarding learner progress and capabilities. He is also amazing at diffusing any nervousness and tension with a few jokes, which has put me at ease and helped to feel positive about my driving.
Can't recommend him enough
Thank you so so much Mark! Than you for making me feel so comfortable and safe from lesson one! Thanks for being so patient, kind and encouraging when my driving has been sooo crusty! I appreciate you so much and it makes me so happy that you do what you do cos you are amazing! Having a lesson with you every week has brought me so much joy! I have had the most fun time!!
Thank you so much too Siobhan for being brilliant sorting my lessons out in the first place and getting my test swopped, you absolute star! Saffron - 28.12.2021
Saffron - 12.01.2022 Totally recommend mark!
He Makes you feel safe, relaxed and is totally supportive.
as older learner I’ve experienced other Instuctor and mark is by far the best!
His knowledge & experience is excellent and really helps build confidence with driving.
He has high standards of cleanliness and use of PPE, so always felt safe.
Amazingly I past my test a few weeks ago.
I now drive, with confidence that also with my two children in car it is life changing! - Lisa 13.12.2021
Mark is the best teacher I had so far and very pleased with the lesson from the first time.
Also thank you Siobhan for my booking work, very good account I would say - 10.12.2021
Anon - 10.12.2021 Mark is one of the kindest and most patient people ever, ideal for an instructor! Extremely reliable, easy to get on with and calm. Thank you so much helping me pass my driving test!! Would HIGHLY recommend!!!! ❤️🤩

Anon - 20.11.2021 Every word is so true darling , he is the best , he’s a Top Man 👌🏻😇👌🏻😇👌🏻😇👌🏻💙
Kerry-Ann - 20.11.2021 I’d like to thank this amazing instructor Mark for helping pass my driving test. I would recommend mark to anyone he’s got the patience of a saint he’s approachable and will help and answer any questions you have. This man is an Angel. I had previously failed and Mark was good as gold and got me through the upset and encouraged me tremendously to keep going and not to give up and he never did let me give up. If you want to pass your test I highly recommend Mark Bond. Thank you sincerely Mark for everything you were the Angel on my shoulder 😃
Kerry-Ann - 02.10.2021 Where do I even start with Mark. He’s the most kindest, patient, funniest humans I’ve ever met. I instantly felt comfortable with him and always made me feel relaxed. I am such a nervous person but Mark boosted my confidence massively with my driving abilities on the roads and gave me the reassurance I needed. He promised me from day dot he’d get me passed because he knew how much it ment to me, for my family needs. That promise was kept! Mark just has a way with words, and explanations. He tells you once and it’s sticks like glue. I’ve enjoyed every single lesson and every laugh. Thank you Mark. I honestly am so so grateful for everything you’ve taught me. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Today was my first driving lesson with Mark. It went really well, he was really patient and helped me to understand exactly what I was doing. I am very pleased with how the lesson went
E - 24.10.2020 I had several previous instructors and 2 failed tests before pairing up with Mark and in no time at all he had me passing my test with only 2 minors. Mark took the time to really understand what I needed as a learner and helped me refine my skills to the best they possibly could be and delivered me the best outcome. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he's approachable, got a wealth of road knowledge, a nice guy and a great mentor on the road! If you haven't already, get yourself a lesson with Mark, you won't regret it!
Harry - 04.12.2020 Now...I have not had driving lessons with Mark but I have played golf with him...no, hear me out!
Anyone who has played golf knows how frustrating and infuriating it can be and I have seen Mark play golf in a manner when even the saints might curse! So when Mark explains on his website that nervous drivers need not worry and that he is a patient man, I can confirm this.
I am glad to recommend Mark and know that his students will have an excellent and highly experienced driving instructor.
