great instructor, passed my test 1st time with only 3 minors, thank you Dilip

I failed my test 8 times over 2 years, and thought I should probably change my instructor to see if I could improve. I called drivejohnsons and they booked me in for the same week, the instructor came & told me where I was going wrong in my first lesson. Now I have my test next month, and I’m really confident about being 9th time lucky!!!

Just passed my driving test with Tommy, top guy and quality instructor. Cheers Thomas.

I learnt to drive with Sadia and passed first time with only one minor!
I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with her. She was professional as well as friendly. She made learning an enjoyable experience for me.

Thanks Thomas for making it possible for me to pass my driving test first time, couldnt have done it without you.

Passed my test a week ago with this instructor, he is honestly the more decent guy & a fantastic teacher! Don’t hesitate about booking with him

Paul is an excellent instructor and I've progressed immensely in my driving since beginning lessons with him - with his calm manner of teaching he's instilled me with confidence and self belief in my ability, which I didn't have when I first started my lessons with him. I'm progressing well with his teaching and looking forward to taking my test soon when a slot is available locally. Highly recommend him.

Sadia is a great instructor, and she helped me to achieve my goal of learning to drive. I couldn't have done this without her.

Really good school to use, they have a lot of flexibility and are really easy going. I have had 3 instructors with driveJohnson’s because of moving areas and all of them have been amazing.

Great instructor! Pushes you to the limits. I passed my test with 1 minor fault at Barking!

I had such a great experience learning to drive with Sadia. She was incredibly patient and supportive, helping me through every step of the process. Even when I struggled or doubted myself, she gave me the push I needed to keep going and improve. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test with confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive ❤️

Sadia is a great instructor, thoroughly professional and yet very personable. She works around a specific pupil’s needs and that makes her lessons highly efficient. Me and my wife both took lessons with her, we highly recommend her!

I’d like to thank Sadia for being a fabulous teacher. From the beginning Sadia was super friendly, supportive & patient. We had great conversations laughs whilst learning which made every lesson enjoyable. I’d like to thank Sadia for helping me pass, super grateful.

Great time learning with Sadia Nasir. She helped me to pass, and now I can't wait to go on all the road trips I can!

My son has been doing lessons for around 2 months with drive johnsons. He loves his lessons and always impresses me with the amount he has learnt in each of his 2 hour lessons. I feel that I chose the best place, and will certainly recommend them to others needing lessons.

Mohammed is the best driving instructor around, would recommend him to anyone. Thanks mate!

Thanks to Hamid I just passed my driving test 1st time with 3 minors !! Brilliant driving instructor !

My daughter just finished learning to drive with Thomas and passed her test first time. We couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor for her. He was reliable, trustworthy and made her feel comfortable from the first lesson. Will be recommending him to all of my friends!

I was really struggling with learning to drive a manual car. Then I decided to switch to Shadia and an automatic, and my experience completely changed. I became so much more confident and even passed on my first attempt.

Great instructor, got me through my test for the 1st time with only 2 minors.

Amazing experience!🫶
Sadia is perfect instructor, friendly and with a lot of patience(I admire her for that).
If you afraid of driving - go to Sadia, she will make you a good and confident driver!😁🫶 She made me to pass the test of the first time!
Thank you, my dear!🫶 I will miss you🫶

Sadia is definitely by far the most loving and supportive instructor. She is very understanding and is very honest. I passed with her on my first time and I’m forever grateful I passed with her. Every question I had, she answered and she will always correct you if you’re wrong. She is THE BEST!!!

1st lesson with Dilip was great, made me feel really comfortable.

Sadia is amazing and so supportive she really puts the time in to make sure you succeed and for that I’m so grateful! Thank you once again xx

Thank you to my amazing driving instructor Kulvinder who helped me pass first time! Kulvinder was my 3rd driving instructor and was definitely by far the best! Thank you Kulvinder.

Tom is unquestionably an excellent teacher. He has taught me how to drive responsibly and safely with the help of his instruction and patience. He really makes us feel at ease, and I am grateful for the support, confidence, and trust he brings. I'd suggest Tom wholeheartedly.
- Thank you Tom

Loved my lessons with Thomas, they were very informative, well structured and enjoyable! Thomas is really knowledgable and definitely knows his stuff, if you're looking for driving lessons I would highly recommend Thomas.

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

Tom is a really good instructor. Supportive, calm, friendly and patient. He is flexible to date and time changes. He was my wife's instructor as well. Both of us passed first time. I would recommend him to anybody looking to start driving lessons. Thank you very much Tom

Passed my test 1st time with Paul, would highly recommend this instructor

Tom is absolutely lovely teacher! He is trying all he can that you would learn and pass your exam! Massive Thank You to Tom for giving me useful lessons and patience during this time !

Great instructor, found a way to communicate and made good progress along with a few laughs whilst at it.

Thank you Sadia

I was a really nervous driver with no experience, Dilip made the lessons feel really easy, his instructions were always clear and easy to follow.

Sadia is top instructor! I am so glad I got taught by her, very paciente and understanding definitely made me feel comfortable and with her help and support I managed to Pass my driving test so congrats to you as well Sadia!

Wish you all the best x

I passed my test today. I could not have done it without Sadia. She helped me calm my nerves and trust my instincts. Before, I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but you helped me become more relaxed and a safer driver. I have your voice in my head directing and guiding me throughout the test which helped😂. I wanna say thanks again for all your support!!

I passed my practical driving test today! I just want to give the biggest thank you to my instructor Sadia. Not only has she taught me how to drive and be a safe driver on the road. She has also taught me self-confidence which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. She’s very patient and supportive and she will be your biggest cheerleader. Thank you so much!

Great instructor, highly recommend

I recently passed my practical driving test. My instructor was the best instructor in the whole world, SADIA NASIR, and I am very pleased with the experience. Mrs Sadia is an exceptional driving instructor who combines professionalism with a friendly and supportive teaching style.
I highly recommend Sadia Nasir to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, making the entire learning process smooth and effective.

Thank you, Mrs Sadia, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!

Tom was a great instructor. He was very patient at the start and gave me excellent advice and teaching so I was able to pass my test first time. Would highly recommend.

Sadia is an amazing instructor. She’s very patient, supportive and encouraging. She answered every question I had and made my driving experiences very fun and relaxing. Honestly the best instructor ever, thank you for making me pass :))

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

Sadia is super supportive and reassuring! In every lesson you can see her desire to see you succeed. A great instructor

Paul is the most encouraging and positive person I know. In the beginning I was nervous about driving and thought I was slow compared to other people, but Paul encourages me constantly. He is hilarious and honestly makes driving lessons fun.

I've only had 2 lessons (2hours) so far and yet driving feels so natural. I had never driven before and couldn't imagined myself behind a wheel but thanks to Paul, I've become so much more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. He is a fantastic, relaxed, reassuring, encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend

10/10 service from the office & the instructor, can’t recommend them enough.

Lessons were banging, I always enjoyed it and my instructor knew I had to get it done quick. Made the right choice in going to these guys

Ive been driving in India for 9 yrs and need to pass UK test. The instruction is good and I dont feel like my money is been wasted. I had my test this morning and I passed 4 minors.

I couldn’t recommend Sadia enough. She is a wonderful instructor who is very patient with all aspects in your lessons. She supported me and did everything she could to accommodate me and my personal life to give lessons and support I needed. Boosting my confidence even when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you Sadia

Thank you Tom! Great instructor

I have really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, I was a very nervous learner, Paul made learning to drive seem really easy, I have now passed thanks to Paul.

Test tip of the month for Loughton

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.

Useful driving test tip for Loughton

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.

Frequently asked questions...

How many lessons will I need before I take my driving test?

This really varies from person to person and we wouldn't want to get your hopes up with false claims. On average, a complete beginner will require 23-24 hours of driving tuition with us before they are test ready; however, this can be considerably less or more. With our intensive courses pupils take on average 1-4 weeks to pass their driving test. We will never put you forward for your driving test unless we're 100% sure that you're ready for it.

Can I be picked up from any of the surrounding areas?

Yes, our driving instructors can pick you up from any of the surrounding areas, whether that is in London or outside of Loughton. We're happy to pick you up and drop you off in the local area and a location that suits you. So whether you live in Loughton, High Beach or Debden, we can collect you at your convenience.

What will I need to bring to my first driving lesson?

On your first driving lesson, do make sure you have your provisional driving licence with you because your driving instructor will need to see this before they can start teaching you to drive. Other than this, you just need to bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
