John Meikle School of Motoring: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very good instructor and very patient with me after failing a couple of times not a bad word to say
Thanks for your kind words. I'll see you out and about in the car. Thanks once again for the very nice bottle. It was not expected but much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend John enough for driving lessons. I struggle with my nerves and anxiety and John made me feel so at ease and was so patient and understanding. He really takes the time to teach in a way that works for you and is very knowledgeable and professional. He was always on time and has great communication. After having lessons with a lot of instructors over many years, I did not find driving manageable or enjoyable, John changed that and got me feeling passionate and determined about driving, he got me ready and confident to sit my test and I passed first time! Now I have my licence, I feel so confident on the road. I am very grateful, it has changed my life for the absolute better. Thank you John I could never have done this without you.
Thanks for the very nice review, its much appreciated taking the time to leave kind words. See you driving about, thanks for the very very nice gift

Thanks for the very kind words in this review. I was a pleasure teaching you.
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend John enough. Passed my test today with no minors after driving with John for 3 years (due to covid). He was very patient with me and genuinely cares about his learners! He is very kind and calm, and when mistakes are made, he is very good at giving constructive criticism rather than being annoyed. He is professional but friendly. He is extremely reliable and was always willing to change around to accommodate my changing schedules (being a uni student and mum). As someone with a lot of test anxiety, John was incredibly supportive! Thank you for the past 3 years! Best driving instructor!
Thanks so much for the kind words. You certainly had everything going against you. Just started then covid, tests cancelled due to snow. Well done, you have done it in the end
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my driving lessons with John - I started with no experience but he knew when to push me and when to just be patient with me! John went above and beyond to get me through my practical test. Always on time, friendly and professional - fully recommend. Cheers, Grant
Thanks Grant for the kind review. It was a pleasure. Thanks once again for the very nice gift. John
Fantastic experience: John was an excellent driving instructor. He was very patient and calm, when I made mistakes he didn’t get annoyed but instead gave positive constructive feedback which helped me improve. He is very reliable- always on time and was always willing to accommodate to when I was available for lessons. Couldn’t recommend him more, helped me pass first time with two minors. I just overall really enjoyed all my lessons with John, highly recommended.
Thanks Gregor for the kind review. It as a pleasure.

Thanks Jay fir your kind review
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough nice things about John. I put off learning to drive for a long time, many years actually I'm old by learning standards! All because I was nervous and thought I wouldn't be able to manage it. John taught my younger sister though and she told me he would get me there, and he did so beautifully. He's always kind and professional, even when he has to replace a flat tire you got him and most importantly he is patient and really takes the fear right out of driving. You can always count on John to make you laugh and keep you safe whilst sharing his awesome driving knowledge with you.
Thanks Chelsea for the very very kind review. It made me blush when reading it, KIDDING You can now enjoy driving about with the kids. And a cracker of a pass it was 1 wee fault.
Fantastic experience: John is an professional, reliable driving instructor during my whole period of learning session. I passed the practical test in one go with 3 minors. Highly recommend .

Thanks Lewis you are to kind. Thanks for leaving a review.
Fantastic experience: Finally past my test with the very patient John.. As I was a very anxious and nervous learner John without a doubt went above and beyond to get my through it. I am a very busy working mom and he did everything possible to accommodate lessons where he possibly could when changes were needed, I can’t recommend he enough. Definitely kept me going when I felt like giving up.
To kind Mary. You did all the hard bit. You would have done it ages ago if it wasn't for all the stop starting with covid.

Fantastic experience: After almost giving up with a previous instructor John gave me the confidence and motivation to keep going with his respectful and patient attitude towards learners and always keeping you up to date with lessons and the latest DVLA rules etc. So glad to have had him as my instructor, couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you John.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. I had at the time 3 teenage daughters, all of whom passed first time. All passed their theory first time, particularly hard with the new changes to the higway code. Have to commend John for his patience and commitment. Flexible and gears training to each individual one of whom is type 1 diabetic, which has in itself challenges not many instructors will face. Specific disability test conditions. Highly recommended. I believe he will be doing advanced lessons as well. Thanks John!!

Thanks Peter. It was a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Was with someone else before I went with John who basically taught me absolutely nothing on how to pass my test. The guy also cancelled my test and left me with nothing, just wanted money out of me. I started going with John and I could tell John knew what he was doing and was very professional but still relaxing and good to speak to. He taught me everything this other guy should have and he made sure I passed first time. I was with John for only three months and passed and it wasn’t just luck. John really is one of the best driving instructors out there so highly recommend him.
Thanks Ben for the great review, I'm only doing what you paid me for. It was a pleasure teaching you.
