Marion budget Driving School

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend the Matthew at the Marion Budget Driving School. My young driver was lacking in confidence in test conditions, and was stuck in the process, unable to get on to her P’s. She was nearly 4 months past her first failed VORT attempt when we asked for Matthew to help. Matthew assessed her, did a couple of lessons with her and then he supported her through the test so that she was able to pass. The longer time on her L’s improved her driving overall, but her confidence was really suffering, and Matthew understood the situation and knew exactly how to deal with it. He may have a long wait list at times, but I would say get on the list, he’s worth the wait!!!

Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have gotten my P plate with the best driving instructor ever and to have met Mathew! How can someone be both professional, friendly, and the best at their job?Yeap, it’s possible. Before Mathew, I took driving lessons with another instructor who can not only caused me financial loss but also put me under psychological pressure and stress. I can say for sure that he deserves more than 5 ⭐️stars!

Fantastic experience: Best instructor you can find in Adelaide. If you are beginner or looking to transfer your international license go to him. He is a great help!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Matthew to convert my international license to a South Australian license. He was extremely thorough with his training; I got a chance to practice in the area where the driving test took place later. I was able to pass the VORT test in 1st attempt within less than a month. Highly Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Matthew was such a kind and encouraging instructor - would absolutely recommend him :) thank you!

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my learner's test and couldn't be happier with my experience!

Fantastic experience: Im done my CBT&A ! Thank you very much Matt for all the help and learnings. Cheers

Fantastic experience: On my first attempt, I successfully converted my international driving license to an Australian one, which was a huge relief. I underwent a week of training with Matthew and I must say that he is a brilliant trainer who goes above and beyond teaching his students safe driving skills to get their driving licence. His dedication and expertise in his field are truly commendable. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to become a safe and confident driver.

Fantastic experience: I'd recommend anyone that is anxious about driving to work with Matthew. His patience is unmatched and he takes his time to explain manoeuvres until you understand. I haven't had a better teaching experience in driving than this.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, very thorough and I had a great experience

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a fantastic driving instructor. I passed the VORT in my first attempt. Matthew is a patience driving instructor I’ve ever known. Thank you very much, Matthew.

Fantastic experience: As a mature aged learner, Matthew was fantastic! He was cool, calm and collected! If I made a mistake, he took the time to explain the issues, he gave constructive feedback, and didn’t talk down at all! As someone who can feel anxious in this kind of environment, I explained this upfront, and he was very accommodating ! I could not recommend him more …

Fantastic experience: Mathyew he is a great guy to learn with the way of communicating with people is a 10/10 teaching how to follow the rule at the same time picking the wrong thing’s immediately he knows and also how to fix it I am really happy that I choosed mathyew ! Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Matthew converting my international license to an Australian driving license. He was very professional and very focused to instill good driving behavior instead of just passing the test. A very friendly person who helps to make lessons relaxing. I had 4 lessons with him and by following his guidance, I was able to pass my VORT in one attempt.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience under the guidance of Matthew. He is very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. Very easy going, relaxed and understanding when you make a mistake. I wish him and the school the best of success! By the way, I passed my test! Thanks Matthew!

Fantastic experience: Passed my VORT first try after 10 lessons with Matthew! He is an exceptional driving instructor who played a vital role in helping me pass my VORT test when I started his lessons with ZERO on road experience. His professionalism, patience, and expertise made the learning process enjoyable and effective. Matthew provided clear and concise instructions, ensuring I understood all aspects of driving, from basic maneuvers to complex traffic situations. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor for anyone seeking great training and a positive learning experience.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Mathew Just passed my P Recommended

Negative experience: Very unprofessional, the worst experience

Negative experience: He calls my previous instructions “idiots “, he was more interested about my personal life that the feedback lesson ( he was asking me if I believe in God ,he advised I should get a partner) I went to him coz I failed 3 tests asking for a log book ( instead of VORT because every time I was too nervous in the test but no in The lessons)and he said I don’t need los book I will just need couple of classes, he said he will book my test at 6,30 on Saturday, after 4 lesson (90 min each and $150) I asked if he please can book my test he answered he was too busy with toilet renovations. Awful experience with this unprofessional instructor

Fantastic experience: Matthew is an excellent instructor, and because of him I was able to pass my VORT first try. I credit him for building my confidence on the road, with his sense of humour making lessons relaxed, fun, and full of laughter. I feel as though he has instilled good habits and made me a safe driver, mitigating a lot of the anxiety I felt about driving. His punctuality was always perfect, often arriving 5-10 minutes before a lesson started.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, have just passed my VORT test. Matthew really know how to handle you even when anxious. PS: if you looking for the driving school just ring his number, he will respond quickly.

Fantastic experience: Matthew is the best driving instructor in all of Australia and I can vouch for him any day. He is brilliant with the way he explains the rules and helps you to become a better and a safe driver. He takes his job very seriously and I heard him say multiple times during lessons that this is not just to pass the test, these rules are to keep you and others safe on the road. I cleared the VORT in my first attempt and I am an overseas driver, I highly recommend Matthew

Fantastic experience: Hi all, I've done recently my overseas licence transfer having 25years driving expirience behind but luckily I booked a lesson with Matt beforehand otherwise I'd more likely fail my VORT. Matt did amazing job, within one lesson he explained all essential aspects and refreshed my knowledge and practical driving skills. Special thanks to Matt and to Allan who was my examiner, I really appreciate your outstanding professionalism guys. Cheers

Fantastic experience: After trying to obtain my P's for a very long time, being stuffed around and milked out of a lot of money, Matthew trained me up and got me my P's. He rarely ever touched the break, he never raised his voice, he calmly explained everything clearly and picked up on all my mistakes as well as gave a ton of extra information without me having to prompt. All it took me was 4 lessons with Matthew to get me to pass my VORT, while most people may need 8 or more, Matthew expanded on some of the knowledge I had and perfected my driving. Having my P's changes my whole life, thank you for everything you've done for me!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Matthew highly enough because he is a brilliant driving instructor! And I passed my VORT test from a first attempt! Matthew has excellent teaching skills and explains everything the best way to help you to become a confident driver

Negative experience: Avoid at all times. Got in touch with him in advance and confirmed a date. He never confirmed a time and ended not turning up for the class on the agreed date. Did not respond to messages or calls. Unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience with Matt. If you are wanting to pass your exam first go, definitely go with Marion Budget Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended marion budget driving school! Has a really supportive instructor, that is informative and patient during every lesson. Will also calm any nerves and will help to gain confidence when driving!

Fantastic experience: Matthew is a brilliant instructor. Patient, informative, and understanding. Lessons are well paced and gets you perfectly set up for the VORT.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Matthew! Friendly and approachable, made the whole process easy. Got my P's after a handful of lessons and first try on the VORT test!

Fantastic experience: Matthew is fantastic - even for drivers that may be anxious about driving, his way of teaching is quite patient, making you pass in the first attempt.

Fantastic experience: Matthew is an amazing instructor!! I was really anxious at first about driving but Matthew made sure that the transition from my Ls to my Ps was as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I only took a couple of lessons with him and passed the VORT. Thank you so much for all your support Matthew!! Definitely recommending you to my friends!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter was really anxious to learn to drive. After a few lessons with Matthew, she overcame her fears, enjoyed the instruction and passed her test. Thanks Matthew.

Fantastic experience: Great experience from the beginning of enquiring lessons, booking, teaching, and final test. Matthew is a great guy and very reliable. My daughter learnt a lot of knowledge and skills and passed VORT in one go! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service! I had pretty severe anxiety about driving that I was able to work through with my driving instructor Matthew. This was a great way for me to learn how to drive confidently without breaking the bank. Would recommend to anyone who is having a similar struggle to mine.

Fantastic experience: This was the best experience you could ever hope for. The day before every lesson without fail I would receive a text reminding me about the lesson. Amazing communication, my favourite part of the week was doing these lessons. He has a good sense of humour and as long as your willing to learn you will have the best experience in Adelaide. We did practically all my hours and I passed my VORT with flying colours. If you are nervous about any other things like hill starts (which was my fear) all you need to do is ask and he is more than happy to help you work through and overcome your fear and you will become a professional in no time at all. I'm actually really gonna miss these weekly lessons. I hope you all enjoy this time as much as I did.

Fantastic experience: I never leave reviews, but this time around I feel the service I received warrants one. After being on my learners for 6 years, I approached this company for lessons, with all my hours done as well as my my hazard perception test. I just lacked some basics skills that are needed to pass the Vort test. If what you are after is someone who breaks down every detail of each of the skills needed easily and coherently than this is the company for you. The moment I was ready I was booked in for a Vort test and passed. No money wasted on extra lessons that weren't needed they kept straight to the point. Something other driving schools and teachers hadn't done. Message Michael to organise your lessons, you won't regret it.
