Mark Parnel

I have lived in the Havant area all my life and have fantastic knowledge of the Havant and Waterlooville areas. I’m happily married and have two grown-up children and a lovely little granddaughter. In my spare time I enjoy tropical fish keeping, watching movies and eating out with my wife and family. Other interests include walking, BBQs and family picnics in the summer.
I have great passion for my job as an ADI and get great pleasure from teaching and helping pupils of different ages achieve their goals and pass their driving test. I became an ADI in 2014. My prior role of 15 years was as a Mill Manager in a busy furniture company, which involved training and coaching adults to help them reach their goals and further their careers.
I’ve now transferred these skills to provide confident driving tuition with a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Hope to see you on the road soon!
My car is a black Ford Fiesta Zetec plate number FH64BKE so you know what to watch out for.
Here are a couple of my reviews:
Started my lessons just over a month ago and I have Mark as my instructor and I can’t recommend him enough! Such a brilliant teacher who makes driving fun and is very friendly, professional and we always have a laugh! Definitely recommend him to anyone. Olivia B
Started with Mark from driving pro in September 18 and passed my test first time in December 18! Never drove a car before my first lesson and Felt very comfortable from day 1 and due to his patience and brilliant teaching i thought I picked up my driving skills pretty quickly. Very easy to communicate with in regards to booking lessons. 100% recommend going with driving pro.Mark was a fantastic teacher and also had a good laugh with him aswell! Mikey G
