I cannot express enough how happy I am that Magda was my instructor. She was paitient, informative, encouraging and professional. She gave me the know how and confidence to pass. I am so grateful for helping me to pass. I will highly recommend her to other learners.

Highly recommend, passed first time in just a few months. I felt very at ease as she created a very calm and encouraging atmosphere. Her instructions were also very clear.

Magda has been an amazing instructor, helping me to pass my test with just 1 minor.

She is very patient and supportive, and explains everything carefully so you fully understand what you need to do & how to improve. Her mock tests are also extremely helpful in preparing you for the real thing.

She has such a kind and positive attitude, giving you the confidence you need to learn to drive safely.

Thank you so much for everything, Magda - I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Magda was such an amazing and relaxed driving instructor! I only had a handful of lessons and she coached me all the way! She is down to earth and made me feel so at ease with driving! Correcting me in ways to make me still feel good. Really enjoyed our lessons and will miss them, highly recommend!

She’s very patient and helps you work on your weak areas. Couldn’t have passed without her and am really thankful that i was able to pass my first test with only 2 minors! Definitely recommend her as a driving instructor as she always does her best to help

Rob really helped me overcome my nerves. On my first lesson I kept stalling, but after a few lessons he helped me get over the clutch control and helped me pass my test really fast.
 
I recommend to anyone.

Magda taught me very well, made sure I was always relaxed and helped me pass my driving test first time. She really goes over EVERYTHING.

Magda is such a supportive instructor and gives amazing advice on improving your driving in order to pass. Highly recommend!

Magda is a really patient and attentive instructor that picks up on your errors and really works to correct them, improving and encouraging your driving skills along the way. I passed first time and would definitely recommend her as a driving instructor!

Magda is the best instructor I had, her teaching style is great and she is always kind and supportive and always explained my strengths and weaknesses to me perfectly!

I feel very lucky to have Magda as my driving instructor. She has been really supportive and patient throughout all the journeys that I have been with her. Thank you very much.

I've had several driving instructors over the years and Magda was the best! Magda is calm and patient and relaxes her students by being funny and chatty, but is also fair and reasonable when giving criticism and feedback. I don't think I would have passed my test without Magda, she is brilliant. Thank you Magda!

Magda honestly is the best instructor ever, she teaches you how to do everything very well and fast too. She’s a very friendly person and has been extremely supportive throughout the time i’ve been driving with her. She always boosts my confidence when i’m driving and she gives me tips on how I can do better and that’s how I passed!! I don’t think I could’ve got a better instructor!

Started to drive with Magda july 2018 and passed today dirst time! Very patient and friendly instructor id strongly reccomend

I am so grateful to have Magda as my teacher! I have passed first time and all thanks to Magda being so patient, supportive and extremely professional at what she does. Would highly recommend Magda to anyone looking for driving lessons! Thank you again, you are the best!

Magda is an amazing driving instructor and such a kind caring woman. Her calm nature makes it very easy to learn with her and she advises you on what you need to do to pass and be a great driver each lesson. All of her students will tell you how great she is, I've already recommended 2 people to her and they love her!

Don't think I could've done it without her encouragement!

Thanks Madga

Thank you for helping me pass my driving test in first time with flying colors. Not only did you help me get my driver's license, but you also taught me how to be a safe and responsible driver. You went extra length to get my driving concepts clear and made sure all my doubts were clear and I understood everything precisely and properly. And I cannot thank enough for your talk through driving session, this particular methodology of talking through while driving really helped me pass my driving test. I will definitely recommend you to my friends who are looking for a driving instructor. Magda you are awesome teacher and amazing individual, I thoroughly enjoyed our chats during every class. Thank you!

I passed my test with 1 minor after a few months of lessons with Magda. She knows what to look for and how to communicate your obvious and potential problems without stressing you out. She’s an asset to Drive Johnson’s and I’d recommend her to anyone. She cares about your success as much as you do and helped me to relax and focus before my test.

An amazing teacher who is lovely to talk with and puts you at ease. Passed first time with only a few months practise. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Not only is Magda a very friendly person she is also a very good instructor. I've just passed my test with 35 hours of driving with her, with no private driving. She is really good and i highly recomend her

Magda is a great driving instructor, very patient and kind but still pushes you to do better. After having some bad luck with other instructors, I was very lucky to find Magda and pass my test!

She’s one of the best instructor you can ever get.

I could not have asked for a better driving instructor- Magdas teaching gave me the confidence to become a safe, independent driver and really enjoy driving! I always looked forward to my lessons with her as she is so supportive, patient and approachable, she made driving fun and I am forever grateful to her for this
Would 100% reccomend!

Magda is very friendly and helpful, couldn't have passed without her!

Magda is an amazing instructor. Before starting lessons with her i didn’t know anything about driving; three months later i had my full license! She’s friendly, reliable, experienced, knowledgable and always gives helpful feedback for improvement; all of which helped build my confidence on the road. Her lessons are well planned and fit my busy university schedule. I would most definitely recommend her!

A fantastic instructor! I couldnt recommend Magda enough. I passed my test first time and she was friendly, supportive and knowledgable throughout. I will be recommending her to anyone who needs an instructor.

Magda is a fantastic driving instructor i couldn't of asked for better! would never of had the courage to book my test as quick as i did without her encouragement!

One of the kindest ladies ive met! She knew exactly what i needed to go over each lesson and took me on nearly all test routes!

So grateful for everything she done.

Rob Thomas is terrific he is a fantastic instructor and one of the nicest people I have ever met, if you are learning to drive in Rushden then make sure you learn with Rob

Magda is a brilliant teacher, she tackled my nerves and filled me with confidence, would highly recommend any new learners to Magda, thoughroughly enjoyed my time learning how to drive

Very lovely and kind and also very patient

Megan was absolutely amazing, I started learning with here a few months ago with plenty of things to work on, and left with my license on my first try !! I could not recommend her more to anyone, she is nice and polite and just a pleasure to be around. Let’s not forget how great of an instructor she is !!

Honestly, the most caring, patient driving instructor ever! She alway explained things in easiest way possible and never gave up on me even when I started to myself! Honestly the most amazing instructor! Will be missed x

Magda has been the best instructor!!! She is lovely and nice. I didn't feel so nervous on my first driving lesson. She helped me become a good driver and pass my test!! ? I'd give more stars if I could but I can't, though I would highly recommend her ???? She'll support you throughout and I'm grateful she was my driving instructor ?

She’s a lovely lady and very patient :-))

Fantastic instructor. She helped me build my confidence and helped me become a strong independent driver. I would highly recommend her.

A big thank you to Magda for being patient, calm and motivating. Overall the BEST instructor you could ever have.

I honestly don’t have a single bad word to say about Magda, from the moment I sat in her car for the first time, she put my extremely nervous disposition at ease. Magda is calm, friendly, knowledgeable and the BEST teacher. I passed first time with just 2 minor faults because of this lovely lady! I would recommend Magda to anyone and everyone. I have such confidence on the roads now and this is all thanks to Magda!

Magda is an amazing instructor. I passed my driving test at first time.

She is knowledgeable, kind and encouraging from the very first lesson till my last one. Throughout my experience with Magda I found it really easy to get along with her. Her welcoming personality made driving enjoyable.

Her lessons covers all testing routes and many other roads inside testing area. Therefore, I have learned and practised all the scenarios that I may encounter in the test and later in my real life. During each lesson, she explained every single mistake and incorrect reaction that I made. We spent every single minute together to improve my driving skill not only for passing a test but also to comprehend a living skill.

Therefore, I feel so lucky to take her enjoyable and efficient driving lessons.

Magda is a fantastic and very capable instructor. She knows when it's right to challenge you and push you to do well, and is able to help perfect the elements of your driving that need working on. She is friendly and positive, and recognises the value of constructive feedback. With her guidance I passed first time with only one minor, so I would recommend her to learner drivers of all levels.

I recommend Magdalena as a driving instructor! Her dedication and intense teaching style were exactly what I needed to navigate through my driving exams successfully. Magdalena is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, ensuring that I understood every aspect of driving, from the basics to more advanced maneuvers. She pushed me to be my best, correcting every mistake with a focus on safety and confidence.

Last week I did something I never thought I would be able to do: I passed my driving test. At first attempt!

I had a few instructors before, but I made very little progress and decided driving was not for me just over three years ago. But in October 2016 I decided to give it another go. This is when I met Magda.

Because of her friendly character, her patience and positive attitude my lessons quickly turned from daunting to enjoyable. Where previous instructors would have a go at me for doing something wrong, Magda would handle my mistakes (and believe me, I’ve made a few!) with humour and patience. She would always stay calm and explain to me why it went wrong, rather than tell me off for it. Even if it meant explaining the same thing over and over again.

She is very flexible and accommodating when it comes to the lessons. If I needed to be picked up somewhere else, or finished my lesson somewhere else, I just needed to text and it was never a problem.

If you are like me and getting your driving licence seems like a mission impossible, I would 100% recommend Magda. A+ from me!

Thank you Magda and all the best!

Magda is THE best instructor , she’s patient and works at your own pace , she’s the most understanding and helps you build confidence with all aspects of driving. If you want to pass confidently and quickly, definitely chose Magda as your instructor.

Magda is very calm and collected, and helped me every step of the way. I would highly recommend her as your driving instructor!

I never thought I would be able to drive, mags is the best teacher 💯 I was so nervous at the start but from get go she taught me well ! Literally the best instructor you can get ! Trust me I was nervous driver and I passed !

Magda has been amazing, I don't know where to start. She is very flexible with her time and is very patient with you. She makes sure you get the manoeuvre right. She has a great sense of humour with very healthy banter that helps ease your nerves. She is very observant and watches out for the little things you do and points them out so that you don't repeat them in the test. Her mock tests are very informative as they point out all the things you would not notice in your normal driving. She is very meticulous and I would not have been able to do it without her! Thanks so much Magda <3

Magda is a kind, helpful and patient instructor. I failed previous tests with another driving company and she really helped me become more confident in my driving with her guidance. I passed on my first attempt using Drive Johnsons. I highly recommend using Drive Johnsons! Thank you Magda and thank you Drive johnson's for putting Magda as my instructor.

Magda has been a great instructor, calm, patient and friendly. Really made my learning experience alot more enjoyable and less nerve wracking. Would highly recommend Magda as a driving instructor. Thank you!

Magda is a brilliant driving instructor, she is calm and patient with you, until you feel confident behind the wheel, she is very knowledgeable about all the routes, and knows exactly what is needed to pass. When she does give feedback and criticism, it is reasonable and fair, and I’m pretty sure i wouldn’t off passed without her help, she is an amazing instructor, thank you Magda.

Thanks Rob, for being such a Great driving instructor, and most of all believing in me that I could do it, I would highly recommend Rob as a driving instructor as he has lots patience and makes you feel safe and comfortable whilst you are on your driving lesson, Rob gave me the confidence to drive and believe in myself more and more on every lesson I had and go on and pass my test ? thanks again for teaching me Rob!

Test tip of the month for Wellingborough

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 Wellingborough Show more

Useful driving test tip for Wellingborough

When overtaking cyclists on faster roads, consider leaving more space than the minimum (1 metre). Apply the MSPSL routine nice and early, signal in good time and anticipate any unusual sudden movements by the cyclist. If they are looking over their shoulder, they might be thinking about changing direction.

Frequently asked questions...

Where do beginners start their driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Learners coming to us at the complete beginner stage will often start their driving lessons off in residential or industrial areas, away from busy main roads where there's lots of traffic. One of these areas is the Finedon Road Industrial Estate where there are quite a few long, straight and wide roads to pick up the basics of getting the car going and stopping again. With lots of side roads to turn into, there is plenty of opportunity to progress onto left and right turns as well as T-junctions.

Where do I do my lessons if I already have experience?

More experienced learner drivers with a few hours under their belts, may find themselves tackling some of the test routes in Wellingborough, including the 60mph A509, involving a number of medium to large roundabouts and junctions. You may also head into the centre of Wellingborough, where you could face a number of one-way streets and busier traffic.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about though. Our experienced driving instructors will cover all of this in depth with you to ensure you're comfortable and ready to conquer all types of road and junctions.

Does Wellingborough have a driving test centre?

Yes, Wellingborough does have a driving test centre, and you will likely take your driving test here. Our driving instructors in Wellingborough are test route experts so they can help you pass quickly and confidently.

Recently, learners have found it increasingly difficult to find a driving test at the Wellingborough test centre. However, you can usually find a driving test in Kettering. If you are still trying to get a test in Wellingborough, then Kettering is a great location to take your test as our instructors can take you for your test here, but they can also help you learn the routes and roads beforehand.

Can I have automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Yes, you can. We offer both manual and automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough. You can choose to jump straight into automatic lessons or you can start with manual and switch at any point if you decide that manual isn't for you. We have some fantastic manual and automatic driving instructors in Wellingborough who will help you pass fast either way!
