Mark is a former teacher and long-term member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists who recently completed a BTEC Level 4 Advanced Award in Coaching for Driver Development. This industry flagship qualification takes one year to complete and develops great driving instructors. Call Mark now.
“In my five months with Mark, he taught me how to be a better driver, a safer driver, and taught me things outside the scope of the test that would be useful to me for when I pass. He is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor, and under his tuition I passed on the first test attempt, having failed multiple tests before. His teaching style is fantastic, combining practical skills with critical thinking, discussion, self-learning, and reflection. I would highly recommend Mark to anybody who wants to learn how to drive – you honestly couldn’t ask for a better instructor.” Steve Taylor, Clarkston.
“Passed first time with Mark who was brilliant. Taught me how to drive properly and safely as well as picking up all the important points that test examiners look for. Thank you!” Rachel Alexander, Clarkston
“Passed my test first time with Mark! Not only did he teach me how to be a competent driver, but he also taught me how to be a safe driver. Would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to learn how to drive.” Megan Brolly, Clarkston

A hugely experienced Instructor, Sarah lives in Newton Mearns and offers driving lessons in Paisley, Thornliebank, Newton Mearns and all surrounding areas. We’re really pleased to have her on board with Caledonian LDT. Call Sarah now.
“I learned how to drive with Sarah Cunningham. She was absolutely fantastic! Very friendly and extremely patient with me, and I learned my manoeuvres etc at a fast pace. A few of my friends who were with other companies really did not enjoy the learning experience as they found it extremely stressful whereas I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of learning how to drive and am so happy to have now passed my test! Totally recommend learning with Sarah!” Katie McLachlan, Paisley – Jan 2017
“I really enjoyed having Sarah as my driving instructor because she ensured that I never felt worried or stressed. Everything was explained in a way which I found easy to understand and I think this helped me to learn quickly. Finally, I am so grateful to her as my instructor because I managed to pass first time!” Iona Ferguson, Clarkston.
I started learning to drive with a different instructor from another company and spent over a year with her but then had to find another one when she moved away. I can honestly say that I learned & improved my driving more with Sarah Cunningham in a couple of months than I did with my other driving instructor over a year. After a couple of months with Sarah, I passed my test first time. Cannot recommend her enough, she’s a great instructor and is really patient.”Albana Krasniqi, Paisley – January 2016
