# A Star Mark's Driving School
A Star Mark's Driving School is an independent driving instruction business based in Salmonsbury, covering Bourton-on-the-Water and surrounding villages. The school is run by Mark Williams, a Grade A DVSA-approved instructor with over 25 years of experience in driver training.
The school primarily serves learner drivers preparing for their practical driving test, as well as new drivers seeking advanced training. Mark specialises in working with nervous or apprehensive learners, including those with significant driving experience in other countries who need to adapt to British road conditions and driving conventions. His patient, methodical approach addresses anxiety whilst building genuine competence and understanding.
What sets A Star Mark's apart is Mark's exceptional credentials and track record. As a Grade A instructor—a qualification held by only 30% of DVSA instructors—he demonstrates excellence in both teaching and vehicle safety. The school uses a car equipped with dual control pedals to prioritise safe driving at all times. Mark emphasises eco-driving techniques alongside traditional instruction, and importantly, tailors learning to each individual's pace rather than rushing pupils through their development or unnecessarily prolonging tuition.
The business also offers Pass Plus training for newly qualified drivers seeking enhanced skills. Block booking discounts are available for 10+ hour packages, making structured learning more affordable. Client testimonials consistently praise Mark's calm demeanour, professional reliability and ability to transform nervous drivers into confident, competent road users.
