Hi I am Mark Prewett a grade ‘A’ DVSA Approved driving instructor. I started Driving Ambition in 1990 after working in retail and BBC Radio. I have other instructors who help out with the under 17 off road lessons at Turweston Aerodrome. I have had exclusive use of Turweston Aerodrome since 2001. Thanks to David Owen at the Aerodrome.

Mark was such a great instructor! So helpful, patient and encouraging, especially when I was nervous. Helped me gain so much confidence, highly recommend!

I had my first lesson off road driving last week and really enjoyed it! I recommend this if you’re interested in driving before your 17. Looking forward to my next lesson tomorrow

Every lesson with Mark is really insightful. I haven’t driven a car in over 5 years and the refresher course with Mark has been helpful. One of the key areas I would like to highlight is his experience and patience. After each lesson, I can’t wait for the next. Thanks, Mark and Driving Ambition for everything

From Jim Groves re fin 19th Sep 2022

Hi Mark,
It’s Olivia, just wanted to let you know that 2 weeks ago I passed my driving test! My birthday was at the end of June, and I undertook 14 hours of learning and passed first time with 2 minors! I think the lesson I had with you gave me a head start, thank you.
Olivia
— Olivia Turbutt 9th Oct 2021
During the summer our 16 year old son had a driving experience that transformed his attitude from indifference about driving to eagerness to learn. I cannot commend Mark Prewett highly enough
— Lakshmi Jeffreys 7th October 2021
Big thanks to Mark. Loving and learning a lot from the lessons. Amazing patience and I will definitely recommend him.
— Evans Trouno 6th October 2021
One happy boy! He’ll give you a call later with the details. Thanks so much for everything Mark. The perfect instructor for Ben!
— Lindsey Staples + Ben 6th October 2021
Thankyou so much for all your contributions Mark, couldn’t have possibly done it without you! sorry for the late replies, i’ve been on the roads all evening 😅 definitely worth the wait!!.
— Ben Staples 6th October 2021
Just wanted to say that Natasha is loving her lessons!
She is still talking about the drive on the Farthinghoe Road and the Welsh Lane!

— Jane Cundy 19th September 2021
Huge thanks to Mark for getting me through my test with no minors! Mark came highly recommended, although I was concerned at first as he was a little more expensive than a few other instructors. However, his costs are absolutely justified and not expensive at all when taking into account his expert tuition, time taken and kindness shown. Mark was very good at picking up on how I learn best and tailored his teaching accordingly. I can’t speak more highly of him and thank him for his great communication and incredible patience. Tell your friends! Thank you so much Mark.
— Noah Stone 27th September 2021
Mark is a great instructor - highly recommended - and he even speaks ‘teenager’! Will loved his first lesson and can’t wait to get behind the wheel again. We will be booking more lessons in the run-up to his 17th birthday. Thank you so much!

Off road lesson at Turweston Aerodrome
Losing my sight in my teens meant that I never had the chance to drive. I’ve always wanted to and wondered if I’d ever get the chance. So, for my 60th birthday present, my kind and thoughtful wife bought me a driving lesson from Driving Ambition.

I have always been an observant passenger but could I be the one at the controls? All those familiar terms were making me edgy – ‘releasing the clutch’, ‘biting point’, ‘changing up through the gears’ - not to mention, ‘fish-tailing, ‘kangarooing’ and ‘stalling’. Could I even manage to keep the vehicle on the straight and narrow? Would my reactions be so slow I’d have the car off at the first corner? Would I get into a fluster and fall to pieces? Surely what I would need was the most easy-going, calm and encouraging of all instructors. Fortunately, Mark Prewett turned out to have exactly those qualities – with an extra turbo-boost of patience ready just in case.

We had a blast! I quickly overcame my nerves and, in minutes, started to enjoy the experience. I was able to control the car with a degree of confidence – gears, brakes (pedal and hand), acceleration, steering. Mark’s easy-going instructions and smiling (possibly through gritted teeth) my 90-minute lesson passed in a trice.

I can absolutely recommend Driving Ambition. My wife tells me that all the arrangements building up to my adventure were handled efficiently and courteously. The lesson itself was not only enjoyable I found it to be a really informative and revelationary experience – about driving and indeed myself. Mark is a true professional and I am very grateful to have had the benefit of his thirty-plus years of driving instruction on my side.

— Meredith Vivian. 8th August 2021
Sam - “That’s my boy!!! And thank you Mark Prewett for teaching him all he knows!”
— Michelle Childerley
Hello Mark,

I had an absolutely brilliant time today!!!
It was utterly amazing.
Thanks to you I achieved my goal of driving “ just one more time” at 30 mph and
then so much more!!!!

Totally beyond my wildest dreams.
Even my eldest child was impressed- which is no mean feat!

The photos are really brilliant
Thank you so very much.
You are awesome

Nicole was the 3rd of my kids to have an under 17 lesson with Mark, and just like her brothers she loved her lesson. Mark even remembered her brothers from 5 and 8 years ago! We’ll see you in 3 years for our youngest’s under 17 lesson!
Thanks Mark

Tim and I are moving to London in December and what Tim will miss most is his lessons with Mark and the experience of driving at Turweston Aerodrome with Driving Ambition. As you know, Tim has learning difficulties and physical disabilities but has a bright personality. The lessons with Mark have been overall enjoyable and fun for Tim but Tim has also benefitted so much.He has better concentration and I really credit Mark with this as he kept Tim concentrating for the whole hour and introduced new procedures at the right intervals.

Tim has also an increased sense of self esteem. He really does drive and he is proud of himself. He really has learnt a lot about driving. He always looked forward to his next lesson and watches driving lesson videos on You Tube and DVD. Thank you for facilitating these lessons which have been such a great experience for Tim. We may well travel from SE London for some more!

— Valerie Daly
Thanks Mark and for his lesson. He’s buzzing as usual and won’t stop talking about his driving for the rest of the day! He loves it!
We’ll be in touch for another one

Good Evening Mark

Many thanks for teaching Liv this morning she spoke very highly of you and I just wanted to drop you a short note of gratitude - she has spoken of nothing else this afternoon!

She wishes we lived closer so that you could teach her!!!

Many thanks for all the knowledge and confidence you gave Joshua, to give him
the opportunity to pass his driving test at the first attempt.
From his first drive with you at Turweston Airfield his abilities improved to
enable him to reach his goal , and the photo`s on your website add that personal
touch.
I would highly recommend you to any young driver or parents who are looking for
an driving instructor .
All the best to you in the future we look forward to seeing you when our other
son is ready to drive.

— Mick Dyson
Thank you so much for helping Georgina to pass her driving test.
She was absolutely delighted to pass and I know that she has enjoyed being taught by you.

I will continue to recommend you to my friends and colleagues as a fantastic instructor!

Thanks again.

Hi Mark,

Dear Mark

Sandie and I would like to thank you for the tuition and instruction you gave our granddaughter, who as you know is being brought up by us. Thanks to you she PASSED FIRST TIME and had only ONE MINOR . As you can imagine, we are extremely proud of her.

Having said that, at the end of the day, all praise and thanks has to go down to the way she was taught. Naomi only had nice things to say about you, and meeting you on many occasions during her driving tuition, we can only say the same.

We certainly feel that her success was not only down to her ability as a young driver, but to you who gave her the tuition to drive correctly and safely. You certainly come across as a nice guy and without doubt you are. We feel as grandparents/parents that you are a man you can trust implicitly.

We think, what gave Naomi the edge, was that she took the opportunity of off-road driving at Turweston Airdrome at the age of 15 with you. We believe that this gave her the confidence to drive on-road when she turned 17 and held a provisional licence.

We would, and have, without hesitation, recommend you to any young driver who wants to drive for the first time, whether it be off-road or on-road.

Sandie and I wish you all the success you deserve in the future and regards to your family.


Yours sincerely

— Tony and Sandie Townsend
Hi Mark 

Just a note to let you know that Eleanor passed her driving test first time, same as James! All chuffed to bits for her and very grateful to you and your Driving Ambition company for introducing her to driving at such an early age. She approached her first on-road lessons with such confidence and a genuine interest and respect for the vehicle and other road users, an attitude that was 100% attributable to what you taught her when she first sat in your car. 

Thanks Mark. It’s been a pleasure dealing with you and your business. We wish you continued success and look forward to any opportunity where we may recommend your services to our friends. 

Kindest regards 

— Richard and Kathryn
Thank you Mark Prewett - your presence in the car during the test obviously did the trick..lol
— Rosie Knight
Dear Mark,

I just had to write to thank you so much for the driving experience my Mum had yesterday. Becoming partially sighted, meant that she had to give up her car and this has been the one thing that in the last 15 years she has missed the most. Being able to drive yesterday was such a brilliant experience for her and one that she will never forget. She has not stopped talking about about it since! Thank you so much for making it possible and for your kindness and understanding which was clearly seen from the moment we met you. You made her feel confident in her ability and was so surprised that she had not forgotten how to drive! Being 80 and partially sighted, she obviously is not planning to drive again on the road, but the experience was so special for her and has made her very happy.

Thank you again,

— Best wishes Sally Woodhouse
So so happy, passed, couldn’t of done it without Mark, amazing teacher, strongly strongly recommend him if you’re just starting out!
— David Smart
Hi Mark,

Mike had a terrific time, and was really exhilarated - in fact he talked about nothing else all the way home! Thank you so much for your time, patience and expert instruction. He passed on much advice to me, and is still pointing out my various deficiencies behind the wheel. He is now looking to the skies, now he has got the car driving out of his system for the moment - we are looking into a flight experience for him, although I fear they will not let him fly the Airbus just yet. We have had contact with some of the local newspapers, as I believe you have also. I attach one article we have seen so far, and our photos of the day. It was delightful to meet you. The memory of that afternoon will live with us for a long time. I was left also with a deep and lasting impression of the location, which I found fascinating . Many thanks again, and we both wish you all success with with your business.

— Warm Regards Izzy Copping
Dear Mark,

I am writing to thank you for my grandson Alexander’s milestone experience of initiation into driving, you were able to immediately relieve his initial apprehension and create for him a well structured and highly enlightening 3 hours; he was absolutely thrilled by the experience. He has talked of nothing else since and is now a committed “driver to be”. The professionalism and totally organised and comprehensive service offered by Driving Ambition is a rare commodity nowadays and I have no hesitation in recommending it to others, Alexander and I wish you continued success and hope to see you again later. Thanks and best regards,

— John Barnes ,Essex

Hi Mark
Would just like to say a big Thankyou for today my lad loved it we both enjoyed the day and will be in touch again soon for a longer permit. Have a good day mate Thank you
— Steve & Coel Newman 11th October 2020

"Thank you so much Mark for once again giving Caelan the time of his life! He spent the rest of his birthday saying 'I can't believe I was driving again!' He was especially thrilled that he 'did reverse and parked the car!', something he would not be able to experience for himself due to his additional needs. The feeling of achievement is still with him two days later and he can't wait to come back again! Being able to drive off road has meant such a lot to him plus the feeling of freedom and being in charge is priceless.This event has given him a huge boost in self confidence - thank you Driving Ambition - he will be back!" 

  Adrienne Sikora-Black

Thank you
Izzy loved her lesson - was buzzing on the way home!
— Sue Bailey 11th October 2020
My daughter Lia had an off road lesson before her 17th to build confidence and I’m so glad she did! She came out full of knowledge, more confident and buzzing to start driving on the road. Would recommend this to everyone.
To top it off Mark is a lovely guy, he even bought some birthday chocolates for my daughter!

Had the best time today at the under 17’s driving ambition!!

Hopefully all is well with you...?
If you remember I bought Theo Wilkie to you for some off road preliminary lessons from December to February
Just a note to say that he got his provisional licence on time and for his 17th birthday on 20th April he found an ex-demo Hyundai 1.0 Go SE with all the tech trimmings wrapped up for his present...!!
He took his theory test and passed on Wednesday 26th of June...
He immediately applied for a test and got a cancellation for the following Monday July 1st...
and he passed...!!....
He and I would like to thank you for all your assistance...very well worth the experience..!!

all the very best
— Roger Southall 13th July 2019
Got to the Aerodrome and immediately found Mark who was very proactive and professional in guiding us around the permitted areas for driving, of which there are several. The road themselves are both asphalt and concrete at intervals, so you can learn on a variety of terrains. Went from complete beginner to a position where I could start professional driving lessons on the sixth or seventh lesson, even after after a few hours driving at the Aerodrome. Overall a very cost-effective and efficient experience - one which I will definitely be returning to.
— Ricky 6th July 2019
Mark I am so thrilled. I have now run out of children but will happily recommend you. Thank you very much x

I couldn’t recommend Mark’s under 17 driving lessons more highly. My son had a few before his 17th birthday and passed his test 6 weeks after turning 17. My 16 year old daughter has just had her first lesson with more to come. Both kids have thoroughly enjoyed their lessons. Brilliant idea to teach them all the fundamentals of driving and make them safer on the open roads.

I had 10 off road driving lessons with Mark Prewett before I turned 17 and they were extremely helpful. I would seriously recommend this for drivers who wish to get some experience before they turn 17! The driving instructor who taught me after Mark remarked on how controlled my footwork was and I felt a lot more comfortable for my first time driving on the road.

Thank you !

I can’t tell you how impressed we are that you have done this.

Jack was totally devastated that he can’t learn to drive because of his health, your kind payment
will enable us to give him something else for his 18th birthday gift.

Jack will learn eventually, he also has two brothers not far behind and we wouldn’t hesitate to use your company in the future.

Message: Absolutely brilliant!! I can’t recommend this company enough.
I booked an hour long session for my son Harry’s 12th birthday as he loves anything to do with cars and driving and he thought it was amazing.
His lesson was with Mick who was so friendly and experienced and made Harry feel incredibly at ease even though sometimes he can be a little shy with people he doesn’t know.
Prior to the lesson I spoke to Mark who was so helpful and managed to sort out a session on Harry’s actual birthday and even brought him a little pressie to say happy birthday :)

I had thought about going with other companies but the young person often gets limited driving time whereas Harry was able to experience a whole hour of driving on the roads, between cones, reversing, parking etc with Driving Ambition which totally made his birthday.

I honestly can’t rate this exerience high enough and would encourage anyone to book a session.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make his birthday so special x

From day one he has loved his driving lessons.
You have given him a skill that will last a lifetime.
We will and have been recommending you to lots of people we know with teenagers
See you when Molly is ready to hit the road!

Kind Regards

Thank you so much Mark for you patience and encouragement during Michael’s pre test phase. We are all delighted that he’s through, and with such a clean test sheet. Many thanks also for the photo.

Hi Mark,

Just a quick note to thank you for the opportunity to use the Driving Ambition facility near Brackley.
Callum turned 17 on the 2nd June and passed his theory on the 5th. He is now driving on the highways with L plates and is thoroughly enjoying his new experience.
We will keep you posted on his practical when he eventually gets there.
— Kind regards, John Oswald.
Big thank you to Mark. Both of our sons have now passed their driving tests 1st time within 3 months of their 17th Birthdays. As parents we decided to take them on their 13th Birthdays to Turweston Aerodrome to learn how to drive. We did this every year for 3 months up until their 17th birthdays. Both boys on their 17th birthdays had a driving lesson and both were told once you have passed your theory put in for your practical! The confidence, understanding and ability to drive at such a young age, due to the facilities available at Turweston, gave our sons the freedom to be driving on the roads today! It’s a fantastic way to learn how to drive and our sons are proof it works!
— Emma B
Before today I was really scared of driving, but doing a 2hr session with mark I feel so much confident with driving and getting the feel of the car .... Bring it on doing lessons and passing .. THANK YOU mark X can’t stop smiling :-)
— Sarah McCorkell
Thank you Mark! Was a great experience and I loved every second of it
— Tom Tinant (16)
Hi Mark

Many thanks for the photo. We are so pleased for Sam.

Thank you for all the hours you spent enabling both Sam and Jack to pass their tests first time.

All the best,

— David and Jackie Thomason

Hi Mark
Thanks. Brilliant place to learn to drive!
— Joe Allen
Thank you for giving Jordon an invaluable experience.He was impressed with your teaching and found his time really useful.It has now left him wanting more.So I guess we will be seeing you again in the not to distant future.
Thanks again.

— Les Walsingham
Took two teenage sons for some driving practice on a day pass. One has a few lessons under his belt the other has never been behind the wheel before. This was the perfect place. Quiet and enough space for a novice to get to grips with the basics of clutch, brake and gears. Some of the road surface is slightly cratered, but not problematic at learner speeds. There is also a café but we didn’t go in, too busy driving. Highly recommended if you want to practice driving skills without the stress of other road users. Also a lovely bonding day with my boys.

— Steve Day
Brilliant, Thanks so much for today. Jack enjoyed it so much
— Amy Rutherford
Hi Mark. Many thanks. Madàlyn enjoyed her driving lesson and now wants a focus st as my Focus is now boring!!
Regards
— Sylvia Nicholls
Just wanted to say thank you for Grace’s first driving experience today, Grace was slightly nervous beforehand but when returning all her fears had vanished. We will definitely be calling you for more tuition.
Thank you Mark 😊
— Martha Bell
Mark taught our son Ben to drive and got him through the test on his first try. His style of gentle direction suited Ben really well. Mark gave great advice throughout, in particular he filled the gap in changes to rules and thinking in the 30 odd years since we learned. From a parents perspective Mark is an excellent communicator and always turns up when he says he is going to. We will return to him for our daughters lessons in 2020.
— Adrian West
Thank you mark for taking my grandson Matthew on his first off road driving lesson he really enjoyed it
— Sandra Graham
Hi Mark.
Passed first time today! Thank you for all your help, really enjoyed the lessons.
— Jess Hall

Every year since our eldest was 13 we have purchased a Driving Permit (for a maximum of 3 months a year) which has given us the freedom to put our children in the driving seat!
Our eldest passed his test 1st time in a different county, having taken only 2 teacher based driving lessons! Our middle child will be 17 shortly, he learnt to drive in our Galaxy! I have just purchased a one months Driving Permit in order he can dust off any cobwebs. We have saved a fortune doing it this way and we would recommend this to anyone and everyone!
— ‎Emma Bazeley
Mark,
Thank you for Jamie’s lesson on Saturday. He really enjoyed it and it has given him a good idea of what it’ll take to learn to drive.

— Mark Fairhurst

We were so impressed with the set-up today. Jake had a fantastic time, really enjoyed himself. We’ll certainly be in contact again and recommending to others. Many thanks.
— Natalie Spooner
Hi Mark,

just like to say thank you so much for making today possible. Lewis thoroughly enjoyed his lesson with Mick He said ‘reversing is scary’! However he did an absolutely fantastic reverse into a parking space at the end of his lesson. :-)

Hi Mark,

Caelan was absolutely on top of the world when he finished and your patience gave him the confidence back that he’d lost. Caelan has a huge amount of perseverance but his confidence is easily knocked so thank you for helping him feel that he was able to drive. It has given him such satisfaction and boosted his self esteem, plus it gave Mark and I enormous pleasure to see him achieving his driving ambition. We love the photos! I’ll show him tomorrow.

The Green Man was great and we had a lovely meal to finish off a very successful day! If it’s ok with you I will pass your details on to others who may be in a similar position with their ability and driving potential as the benefits are without doubt. I have no doubt either that you will be seeing Caelan again as he is already planning his next trip!

Thanks again Mark

— Adrienne
Yay! Thank you for all your help

Dear Mark,

I am writing to thank you for my grandson Alexander’s milestone experience of initiation into driving, you were able to immediately relieve his initial apprehension and create for him a well structured and highly enlightening 3 hours; he was absolutely thrilled by the experience. He has talked of nothing else since and is now a committed “driver to be”. The professionalism and totally organised and comprehensive service offered by Driving Ambition is a rare commodity nowadays and I have no hesitation in recommending it to others, Alexander and I wish you continued success and hope to see you again later.


Thanks and best regards,



— John Barnes Saffron Walden,Essex

Thanks again

Thank you so much mark!
I passed my test almost six years ago now and you were teaching me sometime before that. I wanted to thank you for the time and effort into coaching me.
As a result of the time and effort you committed to my learning my career choice has become centred around driving and a passion that has shaped my working life.
