Would highly recommend lessons with Julie!

I’ve had driving lessons with Julie for around 7 months and from the support and encouragement provided, I managed to pass my driving test 1st time. Julie is such an amazing instructor, so personable, motivating and encouraging and without her support to overcome my driving anxiety I would never of been able to pass. Would highly recommend lessons with Julie!

Just passed my practical test today…

Just passed my practical test today with one minor. Was learning to drive with instructor Julie who from my first lesson back in November to my last this morning prior to my test, has been amazing! Julie not only gave me confidence in myself and my driving with constant positivity but was also fantastic at going over and over the areas I needed to brush up on and did so without making it feel like I was being bogged down but so's to get me and my confidence exactly where it needed to be. The only downside now that I've passed is I will miss my weekly chats with her during my lessons 🤣 I cannot recommend M 4 or Julie enough. I had been putting off learning to drive for some years, always making excuses, but definitely made the right decision in deciding to go for it and am lucky to have found an instructor and company that I felt right at home with and who's professionalism was and is second to none. Thank you

Such a positive experience!!

Such a positive experience!!!
I recently had lessons with Julie Lavelle, I was quite nervous and explained my feelings to her, the moment I spoke to her she put me at ease, her whole persona was so positive, calm and reassuring. She taught me so much and made me believe in myself and built my confidence where it was lacking. I couldn't have wished for a better instructor resulting in me passing 1st time with 0 faults. Thankyou Julie and m4motoring.

Many thanks to Paul

Paul helped me to gain my confidence back, as I had not driven since I passed my test 12 years ago. After a few lessons I'm now comfortable behind the wheel again.

Great instruction from Paul

Finally passed with an instructor called Paul. It’s taken me 7 years and 7 tests and I have finally passed thanks to Paul. Very relatable and great approach to teaching. Made everything simple to understand and pushed you to get better without being overwhelming. The best driving instructor I’ve had I would highly recommend.

Paul is an amazing driving instructor

Paul is an amazing driving instructor. His guidance and teaching was incredible. He always made the drive fun and interesting the whole way. He is always on time or even arrives earlier. He has believed in me more than I believed in myself and with his help I managed to pass my driving test 2 days ago. Thank you Paul for all your help.

Absolutely brilliant school

When I first started I can't lie I was nervous, but after the first two lessons I felt confident not in myself but in the tutor that was teaching me from this driving school, we went over everything and did quite a lot to make sure I knew everything and have been very supportive.

My experience with them has changed my life around and have allowed me to pass and I couldn't have done it without M 4 Motoring, definitley recommend regardless if you want to drive manual or automatic these are the people you want to go with and prices are really worth it as well.

There’s a man called Paul in his late 20s definitely one to avoid I had to go else where as he was extremely racist if you have to go with m4 he’s one to avoid small man sydrome on a huge scale very bitter and angry little man

I passed first time

I want to say a huge thank you to my driving instructor Julie lavelle. She was very polite and explained everything perfectly. I passed the exam perfectly first time only with one minor. I highly recommend her as a very good and professional instructor.

I passed first time today with chi ✌️

I passed first time today, with one minor thanks too my driving instructor chi, I've had 3 instructors in the past and he was by far the best one I've had, I'd highly recommend going with him, especially if you have anxiety he's patient and understanding.
Thank you chi for getting me where I am, life's going to be so much easier for me now 😁

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! If I could rate 0 stars I would. Really poorly run company. Too easy to throw around ‘the instructors are self employed’ when they happily profit off of them and are they are operating under their company name. Agency law says that M4 are still liable. My instructor dropped me two weeks before my test for personal reasons, M4 gave me a different instructor who was aggressive, rude and intimidating, but more importantly had never taught in the area my test was booked, leaving me with ten days to find a new instructor. Two months later and I still haven’t been refunded for the prepaid lessons I never got and M4 refuse to give me my money back. I have been at the end of the phone to the lady on the phone line who has repeatedly said she’ll find out and let me know…and never let me know.

A huge thank you to my wonderful instructor, Luke!

I struggle with anxiety, but my instructor Luke was so warm, kind and personable that he put me at ease from day one. I instantly went from dreading driving to loving driving, when he became my instructor. He has a huge abundance of patience and skill - plus a brilliant sense of humour to brighten up your day! He really knows how to teach and motivate you to progress - thank you Luke for helping me to pass my test!
