Introduction
I'm a licensed driving instructor serving Southwest Dallas, Duncanville, Cedar Hill, Desoto, and parts of Grand Prairie. I worked for four years at two area driving schools and experienced firsthand some of the limitations of that environment, and have now started my own business focusing exclusively on behind-the-wheel instruction. God has gifted me with a passion for teaching driving, nerves of steel, and great patience – all things that contribute to a great experience for my adult and teen students! I have administered hundreds of driving tests on behalf of the Texas DPS, so know exactly how to prepare you to pass your driving test. And to make things easy, I come to you – so no need to pay for an Uber or get a parent to drive you somewhere for your lesson! Check out my reviews on Google. I charge $65 for a FULL 90-MINUTE LESSON in my insured vehicle (2022 Honda Civic), or $50 in yours (after initial lesson in mine) -- the lowest rates around! My no-charge service area is within 5 mile driving distance of Duncanville High School ($3/mile surcharge applies beyond this). NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A VALID TEXAS LEARNER'S PERMIT before we can start lessons. Get in touch if you would like to book a lesson, or with any questions you have. I look forward to serving you!

Very good instructor and the price was awesome 👍🏾. My son had little experience driving and he turned him into an experienced driver within a few weeks.

Mark has done wonders with our young driver. I was drawn to the fact his goal is to produce a safe driver, and not just pass the driving test with reckless driving habits. He is a quality instructor. Val Ford

Mark was my driving instructor at a different school, and he is an amazing instructor. Give him a shot and you will not regret it!

I had never driven in my whole 35 years of existence. But Sir Mark had made it smooth and possible for me to learn driving at my age. He was very patient with me. He is always calm and had made me feel secure and made me feel that he trusted me enough and it did help me trust myself too and build my confidence. He explains everything first from the very basic and had in consistent as we go off the streets. I highly recommend Sir Mark if you want to be a good and safe driver.
