Professional, personalised automatic driving lessons in Bexhill-on-Sea-taught by the same instructor, every time.

I’m Mark the driving instructor behind Pro Coach Driving School.

Based in Bexhill-on-Sea, we train drivers across East Sussex, covering Bexhill, St Leonards-on-Sea, Cooden, Battle, Ninfield and the surrounding area. Every lesson you take with Pro Coach is taught by me, directly. There’s no call centre, no instructor rota, and no surprises about who turns up.

My Qualifications

I hold a BTEC National Diploma in Advanced Driving Instruction. This is a higher-level qualification. It goes well beyond the standard ADI licence required to teach.

Most driving instructors hold a basic ADI licence, which is the legal minimum qualification needed to teach learner drivers. The BTEC is a separate, more demanding qualification. It covers the theory and practice of advanced instruction in depth. It includes aspects like how people learn and how driving habits form. It also teaches how to coach rather than just instruct. It also explains how to apply that knowledge across a wide range of pupils and situations.

In practical terms, it means understanding not just what to teach, but how to teach it effectively. This makes a real difference to how quickly pupils improve. It also affects how well students retain what they learn.

• BTEC National Diploma in Advanced Driving Instruction
• DVSA-registered Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)
• Specialist in automatic transmission tuition
• DBS checked

Why I Started Pro Coach

Pro Coach Driving School was set up, because I wanted to run a driving school properly.

The driving instruction market in East Sussex-like everywhere-is dominated by national franchise schools. They’re not all bad. But, the franchise model has some structural problems. These include high instructor turnover and pupils being passed between instructors mid-course. There is also pressure to deliver quick results over lasting ones. Additionally, there is a focus on pass rates as a marketing metric rather than a genuine measure of driver quality.

We wanted to offer something different. Smaller, more personal, more honest. A school where pupils work with the same instructor from their first lesson to their test day. The goal is always a driver who’s genuinely capable, not someone who scraped through a test on one day.

That’s what Pro Coach is built around.

How we train and work with you.

We specialise in automatic driving lessons, though Pro Coach works with both manual and automatic students.

Our approach is calm and structured. We don’t believe in rushing people or creating artificial urgency. Some pupils progress quickly; others need more time and that’s completely fine. What matters is that when you leave Pro Coach, you’re genuinely ready-not just test-ready, but road-ready.

We also work with pupils who aren’t sitting a test at all. These include drivers returning after a break and people rebuilding confidence after an accident. We also teach post-test drivers who want to sharpen their skills. Additionally, we work with anxious drivers who’ve found the experience of learning difficult elsewhere. This side of what I do is just as important to me as teaching learners.

Straightforward with feedback, if something needs work, we’ll tell you-clearly and constructively, not harshly. If you’re doing well, we’ll tell you that too. The lessons are yours; our job is to make sure you get the most out of them.

Local Knowledge

We know these roads well.

Our teaching area is Bexhill, Hastings, and the surrounding villages. This means we understand the local driving environment. We know the junctions that catch people out and the roundabouts that people avoid. We are familiar with rural roads and the driving test routes. That local knowledge is part of what I bring to every lesson, and it’s something no national franchise can replicate.
