From Anna Smrckova. passed in April 2010.
Mark Ralph is a brilliant instructor, his friendly attitude towards learning made my experience a lot easier and I really looked forward to my driving lessons each week. He has the knowledge to notice the individual problems that I was having and took the time to highlight and work on them with me. I had previously failed my test twice with a different instructor but once I started lessons with Mark I noticed the difference immediately! He is patient and a great communicator, exactly what you need in an instructor! I had fun and productive lessons with Mark, he gave me so much confidence and faith on my third test...it was a breeze! If you want to pass choose Ralph School of Motoring!!"

"I started driving with Mark on my 17th birthday, and I was quite nervous to begin with. After a few lessons with Mark though, I grew in confidence and felt my driving improved a lot! By the time my theory and practical tests came around, I felt well-prepared and self-assured in my ability, which was very important to me. I passed first time which was a huge plus, and because of Mark's tutoring, I now feel really confident on the road. Cheers Mark!"

From Clara Cunningham, Passed 2012

Sorry for the delay in my recoomendation, Being the first of many Cunningham's to pass my driving test with Mark Ralph shows just how successful he is as a driving instructor. Being thrown into the deep end from my first lesson allowed me to build up confidence over each lesson. The overall vibes of Mark's lessons are very encouraging, enjoyable while very productive. Thanks so much for all your help Mark! and from the rest of the Cunningham crew (all of which have successfully passed first time with Mark.)

From Lara Peirotti, Passed 2017
