I would highly recommend this school. My instructor Rikki was firm yet encouraging. As a first time international driver, his instructions helped me succeed not only in passing my G test, but also in learning how to be a confident driver.

Rikki was my instructor and I can't say enough nice things about him! He was extremely patient and helpful. He calmed my nerves down and made me feel very confident. He doesn't just help you pass the road test but actually teaches you how to drive! Thank you for all you do Rikki!

I was a student, taking driving lessons about a year ago with Ricki. I had a rough experience with Unipol(Ham mtn) and was able to find needed support from Ricki. He's definitely very patient, respectful. He always gives you enough time. When you understand a principle of driving, you can tell it's big satisfaction for Ricki. Gave added confidence and competence badly needed right before my driving test. Highly recommend!

Rikki, the driving instructor, is amazing! He's patient, fun and really roots for his students to succeed! Ive been to other driving school in Hamilton and never went back after the first day ..not at 4Js though! Rikki helped me with my comfort and confidence driving, which lead me to pass my G2 with a perfect score! I highly recommend 4Js driving school to any and all people!!
