About Mark

Mark Bentley is a friendly, patient driving instructor based in Kidsgrove, Stoke on Trent. He's one of the owners of What The L Driving School, which he runs with Jacqui Smith. They've got 40 years of combined experience in driver training, and they're both Grade A instructors with a high pass rate. Mark's approach is all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable lesson environment where you can build confidence quickly, especially if you're feeling nervous or have pre-test jitters. He offers manual and automatic lessons, and he's happy to teach in Urdu, Punjabi, or Turkish if that's more comfortable for you. Beyond standard lessons, Mark provides refresher courses, Pass Plus, and even instructor training through their ORDIT team. He's also BTEC level 4 accredited in driver coaching, so you're in good hands. Give him a call to chat about getting started.
