Magda is amazing, I have never felt more at easy or as confident in myself and my abilities until I got to know her way of teaching. Best instructor I have ever had. (I've had a few over the years) very patient and passionate about developing safe and competent drivers. We need a thousand Magda's instructing on the roads but I am so glad I got the one and only. Could not recommend enough 11/10. Thank you for taking me on and getting that pass.

Thank you magda for everything you have done for me and thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in my self and for giving me confidence first time pass thanks to you !!

From the first lesson right until my test day Magda has been incredibly supportive and was able to teach me in a clear and simple way. Throughout all the lessons she was patient and calm and helped put me at ease whilst learning. Thank you so much Magda!! Youre an incredible instructor and I will recommend you to anyone I know who wants to learn how to drive. I passed first time and it was really down to how Madga taught me.

Magda was BY FAR the best instuctor I could have asked for. So kind and patient and genuinely cares about each of her students, making me feel supported all the way to passing! Couldn't have done it without her and I'm so so grateful! Thankyou again ?

You are a great driving instructor with a friendly nature . Many many thanks for all your support to get pass in my exams . Thank you very much .

Passed first time after 5 months of lessons! Magda was great!

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 is a brilliant driving instructor. I always felt very calm and alert under her instruction. The lessons were always well planned and at a time that suited me best and i enjoyed every minute of them. I would highly reccomend her to anyone!

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 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.

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 !!

Best instructor ever! very patient and understanding when mistakes are made. Knows exactly what to do to build your confidence on the road. Such an amazing instructor! Thankyou magda!

What an amazing birthday present! Thank you Magda for your patience, counseling, encouragement, firmness and fantastic teaching abilities. It was truly amazing working with you these past few months.

I thought driving was something I would never be able to do ...until I met Magda. I was so nervous but She made me feel comfortable , built up my confidence and showed me that I could do it. She is kind , very friendly, patient and never lost faith in me. Whenever I wanted a lesson she is very flexible with the timings. Me and my husband both passed the test because of her, we highly recommend MAGDA to anyone for success as she is exceptionally mastered in what she does👍
Your teaching and guidance stays with us forever like an angel 😇
Thank you so much 💐

Magda is such a great instructor and counsellor, I had a lot of trouble passing my practical and when I changed my instructor to her she was very reassuring and trusting towards me driving which ultimately made me a lot more confident which enabled me to pass on my first test with her! Very patient and encouraging! A very good instructor!

Thank you Magda for all your patients and encouragement . I appreciate your flexibility. Honestly you’re the best in Northampton!!! I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Where do I even start. From the beginning, Magda was so friendly and bubbly, which made me so comfortable. I came to Magda with several previous negative experiences with instructors and having her was a breath of fresh air. Magda is simply made for this role. From clear explanations to correcting any major fault, Magda does it all. Most importantly she does this without degrading you or making you feel incompetent. Thank you again !

Magda is a very knowledgeable, kind and patient driving instructor. She has literally taught me from scratch with no prior experience in driving until i have passed my test today. I always looked forward to my driving lessons to just acquire more knowledge and skills. She is calm and always kept reassuring me whenever i panicked. I highly recommend her for the good job she is doing

Magda has been an amazing instructor. I have autism and have struggled with learning to drive at times but Magda has been very patient. She made sure I was ready for my test and I passed first time!

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 had a few instructors before being taught by Magda. She is by far the best instructor i have had. Her relaxed demeanour made it easier to learn and ultimately pass. Thank you so much Magda!

Magda is great, very calm and never far away from a smile. Passed 1st time and round all thanks to her knowledge and guidance.
I would recommend her to all.

I had an amazing experience getting back to driving with Magda’s support. She was always patient with me and teaching me everything about the roads in the UK and roundabouts. I feel so much more confident to get out of the road by myself now. And I will be forever grateful for that.

I had a great experience learning how to drive in the UK with Magda. She’s incredibly patient explaining to me (even if it takes her 10 times to explain😀). A very knowledgeable instructor ! Thanks to Magda who helped me to prepare for my driving test, I passed yesterday and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a skilled and supportive instructor.

Absolutely amazing, passed first time with only 1 minor. Cannot fault, always gives good advice and is willing to help you pass.

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!

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 has been the best instructor I could of ever asked for! Having always been a bit put off driving and never thinking I could do it, she taught me with patience, honesty and laughter! If something seemed hard she would always help me through it and always give me a thorough explanation. I cannot recommend her teaching skills enough!

Magda was absolutely fantastic, she made me feel comfortable and confident even though I was nervous. After just 3 months of driving i passed first time and would recommend her to anyone.

Magda is such a kind hearted woman. Very informative and calm, gives you the confidence you need to be safe on the roads . Makes lessons fun and enjoyable . PASSED FIRST TIME!!!

Magda was a fantastic instructor, always patient, always on time and so friendly with a good sense of humour! Passed first time after barely over a week of lessons, highly recommend.

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 an amazing instructor and a lovely person. She made me feel so calm from my very first lesson. With her as my instructor, I went from a complete beginner to passing my test first time with only 2 minors. I could not have asked for a better instructor and am so grateful to her for all her patience with me. Going to miss my lessons with Magda and would defiantly recommend her to anyone at any level.

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

Magda was,little to say-amazing!So knowledgeable about road,routes and trafic rules and she really teaches you the right techniques how to behave on a road in real life as well as to pass your test,which is something I am really grateful to her!Having classes with her was so relaxing as she is the funniest,most lovely,patient and calmest driving instructor you could ever wish for!Thank you Magda for the wonderful funny time as well as helping me to pass my test!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for not giving up on me and for being a wonderful person, attentive and patient driving instructor and just a good friend that you have become to me!

I will start by saying that Magda is the best !!? Only had a few experience with driving before I got to her , I was afraid and nervous, as soon as we met and we started to know each other, I felt confident and full of trust. She is calm with a really warm voice,she can take you through all situations and scenarios and she is answering all your questions! Thank you, thank you and thank you again ?

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

Brilliant instructor and great support with both driving and my confidence. I passed first time with Magda. You will always feel at ease and safe, not only will you be learning but will also have great and funny conversations !

Magdalena has been very helpful and so patient.

Don't even know where to start from all I can say is thank you Magda. She have taught me to be a confident, patient and safe driver. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to drive responsibly and Safe. Many thanks Magda.

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!

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Magda as an instructor. I am a slow learner and she was extremely patient with me, she stuck with me and always managed to make time for me. She was fantastic at tailoring the lessons to the areas I found difficult and giving constructive feedback on how to improve. Her lessons were also a lot of fun, she is a kind and funny woman who you genuinely enjoy learning to drive with. Thank you for everything Magda, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor.

I can't thank Magda enough for all she has taught me! She's a really good instructor, patient and will always belive in you! I highly recommend her!

Rob is an amazing instructor. Gives really clear explanations as to why things are done the way they are. He is also calm and patient whilst helping you to understand everything driving related. Really appreciate all the lessons and help Rob!

Magda came highly recommended by a friend who struggled to pass her test previously. She knows what needs to be done to get you to the finish line safely and it feels like an individualised approach. I took lessons with her for almost three months and I passed today on my first attempt with only one minor....I'm super excited. I would totally recommend her to anyone 💯

Highly reccomend Magda! The moment I changed instructors I was making much greater and faster progress. Magda is encouraging, funny and makes you feel comfortable. A great teacher and I can't thank her enough

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!

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 is an excellent instructor and I am very grateful that she helped me pass my driving test. Would highly recommend her as she helped me learn everything and more and has allowed me to become the driver that I am. Thank you very much.

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.
