"I had an excellent experience with Surf Check Driving School while completing my driver’s training! The lessons I completed were not only very informative, but they also helped me feel very prepared on the day of my driving test! Having an instructor that was confident in my skills was also helpful, as Mark’s confidence in me allowed me to focus on the skills I was learning. Through the instruction of Surf Check Driving School, I was able to pass my driving test on the first try!"

Because of a traumatic driving experience in my youth, I have been fearful of riding in a moving vehicle, let alone driving one for most of my adult life. However, after a few lessons with Mark as my instructor, I was able to shed my fears and anxieties and am now a licensed driver. Mark helped ease my tensions and gave me the confidence needed to successfully drive on the roads in an automobile. Thanks, Mark!
