Driving Lessons in Abingdon

Don has been a great driving instructor over the months the best I have ever had. Upon getting in the car with him for the first time I knew he will be the coach to get me through and pass the first prestigious time. I highly recommend Don is one of a kind driving instructor and I will continue to tell all my friends and family about him. Sadly our ways have to part now as tears where shed It was a happy yet emotional day . 10/10 genuine down to earth guy I'm glad to have met him . Will take his great advice with me to the grave .
Fair well my Coach

Don was the best instructor I could have hoped for, I always felt relaxed and positive when learning with him, which I am sure helped me to pass on my first attempt. I would always look forward to my lessons with him, as he was so cheery and patient with me. I would recommend him to anyone learning to drive, thank you so much!

Don is a very punctual and straight talking instructor and that's what makes him special . He won't waste your time chatting about football , he's brilliant at what he does.

Donovan is a great driving structor who I would highly recommend without hesitation he is amicable and made me feel at ease he gave me the confidence and knowledge to allow me to pass my test first time with only one miner for not indercating into the test centre (my fault) if your'e looking for a instructor for yourself or your children then don russle is the guy to go to!

Don was a committed, attentive and dedicated coach who instructed me through trial and error, mistakes and bad habits. Don always made it very clear from the start that he really wanted his students to understand what it meant to be a good and sensible driver on the road and not just take lessons purely as a means of passing quickly and with that short sighted view in mind.

I would like to thank Don for the patience, enthusiasm and exceptional instruction he brought to my driving - my confidence on the road has improved- and would I recommend him to anyone looking for good quality teaching. Hats off and thanks to you Don and the many drivers you have seen through this important milestone!

I would strongly recommend Paul for driving lessons. I passed first time with only 1 minor and he was helpful and supportive throughout my learning journey.

. Don's freindly and relaxed style made the learning process a pleasurable one. I couldn't recommend the man more, looking forward to continued learning out on the road. You'd do well to have him instruct you... Can't stress this enough: MONEY WELL SPENT.(I'm proper tight , so belive it!)

Passed my test with just 2 faults today! So happy and grateful to my instructor. He has been great and really encouraged me in my lessons. Even when i wasn't the best of learners and made so many mistakes. If you are looking to learn to drive you wont go wrong with Chad.

Don is a great instructor firm when he needs to be but always fair. Knows exactly what's needed to be gone over and when to go over it. It also doesn't hurt that he's a great laugh!

Great teacher, lots of patience. One good aspect is that he tries to fit round your schedule. I passed second time, but after i failed the first he helped motivate me into passing the 2nd with barely any minors.

I come from China, first time learn driving lessons in the uk. Very good cars and instructors. Very satisfied with all course.

Don is not only an exceptional driving instructor but also a great personality. He provides encouragement, instills confidence in your abilities and is especially good at identifying your weakest points in order to help you become a safe driver. I passed in under 24 one-hour driving lessons and with only 2 minors - from a complete novice to a confident driver. Don's pass rate speaks for itself and his experience really is a credit to Oxfordshire.

"I did something I felt was right for me and I performed the best I have all year."
did not expect to come away with only one minor fault,
I couldn't have dreamed or imagined today.
Special thank you to the drive johnsons & coach for the help & training..

Having only started driving a week ago to the day, with no previous experience, I would like to share my delights with you all. I'm not gonna lie it was turbulent yet I've learnt so much over this amazing journey. I would like to give a special thanks to DriveJohnsons, Ernie the car and the one and only Don, my coach.

I had a driving instructor before (through a different company) who was awful so I was nervous when I booked Don but he was amazing. Don is always in a good mood, I felt completely safe and relaxed in the car and learnt so much, especially with help from the Drive Johnsons learner page, so helpful. I felt Don had confidence in me and really listened to my concerns and what I struggled with and would create a good plan to combat these. I can't rate him highly enough, I've already recommended him to everyone I know.His jokes aren't as funny as mine though.

I passed my test today with Chad at Drive Johnson’s it was my first ever company and I passed first time BUZZING!!

An unforgettable experience. Such a great coach with a smile that is forever present.
It was a long journey but a memorable one too. I would not of been able to manage if it was not for Don being by my side, I have already recommended him to many of my mates and will carry on to do so.

Thank you so much for everything you have done!!

I passed first time with Don as did my brother who recommended him to me in the first place! Don is an amazing instructor and wastes no time! I've already recommended him to many people and will continue to do so!

Couldn't think of a better driving coach - charismatic, intelligent, friendly, compassionate, witty - someone so much more than merely a 'driving instructor'. I've made a good friend and also managed to pass my driving test having turned 17 two months ago and having had no prior experience in a car nor how a car actually works. I am in no doubt I wouldn't have been able to do so without Don guiding me. If you're not sure who to book as your instructor then I stress you must book Don! Thank you so much for everything, owe you big time.

Cheers coach,

Louis

Great instructor, really knows his stuff and knows how to get you to do the right thing - be warned, he's not one for dilly-dallying around, but he is a coach and a half! Make sure to ask him about 'the man of the cloth' he instructed :) In his own words - "I'm surprised he hasn't been knighted yet!"

Dom the legend him self a god amongst men a top quality driving instructor with good sense of humor and positive attitude. Would definitely recommend

Don was recommended to me and I was not disappointed, he is easily the best instructor I have had (and I have a few), very reliable and consistent. Will always try and fit you in and tailor the times to best suit you where possible. He is very friendly with a positive can do attitude. What I most like about Don is he does not try and give you more lessons than you need like other company's, if he thinks your ready he will tell you, and if you need more lessons then believe me you should take the advise and take more lessons. Overall I was very very satisfied with the instructor, and will definatly recommend Don to anyone wanting to pass their test.

Passed 1st time! Thanks to drive Johnson for supplying their information pack and the videos! And huge thanks to Don for being a great driving instructor! Highly recommend Don and drive johnsons !!

A coach of impeccable driving integrity.Remained true & consistent to his views & principles for the entire duration of the course.
Thank you very much!!!

Passed my test with Don, in a really short space of time. Sending relatives over from India in order to complete course! This guy is awesome, really helpful driving instructor and drive johnsons were really helpful in setting me up with Don. I would recommend Don to anyone who is looking to start driving. Thank you very much!

Don is the best instructor anyone could ever ask for!
He was the only one to support me in this long journey. When I started I was so insicure and scared but Dons' great teaching abilities, and of course his great sense of humour made it all so fun and easy. I always looked forward to having lessons with him.

Thank you so much Don, I could not have done this without you! I'm so happy to have passed my driving test but most importantly I'm so happy that I've found a life long friend like you! :)

Lovely man and even better instructor. Thank you Don!

Very useful instruction which helped me a lot since coming to this country and passed my test first attempt.

Amazing, friendly and supportive driving instructor with a great sense of humour. Don was really reassuring. Thank you!!

Don is an amazing instructor! Having no previous driving experience he took the time to go through everything in detail and got me through my test first time! I would and will do, highly recommend Don for anyone thinking about driving. He's calm and always makes it a friendly experience which makes it easier to learn. Much appreciated for all you help.

I really enjoyed my driving lessons in Oxford with Don. Passed first time! Thanks :)

From going from someone who never drove to a 36 hour intensive and passing first time and it's all thanks to this man! Let's just say I'm happy he taught me, fantastic instructor and one I'm definitely going to try sending people to!

absolutely amazing Instructor. He took someone who was initially terrified at the mere thought of operating a vehicle (owing to a major road traffic collision), to someone who passed their driving test first time last week. Chad is the most patient, kind and caring instructor with a depth of knowledge that is incredible. I will forever be thankful for the time he took teaching me.

Was so impressed with the drive 1st time pass...,was on it from the off!!
The high tempo approach was effective.
If I'm honest it'll go down as one of my most fluent performances behind the wheel.
Special thanks to drive johnson's & coach superb combination.

Passed my test on the 18th Oct, I know for a fact I wouldn't of done it without don in my corner , a awesome driving instructor, who I gladly call a friend, I would highly definitely recommend don ,he is a credit to drive johnsons establishment

Don is the best driving instructor I've had and thanks to him I passed today! His no nonsense but friendly and humorous approach is what got me through. Huge thanks to him and I recommend him for anyone wanting to learn to drive!

Don is the best instructor I could wish for. He is supportive, patient and knows how to make you feel confident behind the wheel. He has a relaxed approach but he will push you where he thinks he should. It was very enjoyable learning with him which I'm sure helped me pass my test first time. I would highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you very much for everything!!!

Paul Houghton is a brilliant driving instructor. He is calm, passionate, sacrificial, and always ready to go the extra mile to see you pass. He'll teach you from scratch to the best you should be to pass your driving test. Not too much talking, just what you need. Thank you, Paul. I highly recommend this instructor. Thank you Drivejohnsons.

Don is a great instructor and a wonderful human being. He has amazing ability to keep you cheerful and relaxed, yet at the same time teaching to drive excellently. I've passed my exam on the first attempt and I would highly recommend Don.

Amazing tutor! Very patient and calm. Would recommend to anyone

I can't really recommend Don enough. He is a very experienced driving instructor with a LOT of patience! He will always remain calm no matter what the situation on the roads, and he really gives you the confidence to believe in yourself. Both my wife and myself passed first time with Don, and we both started out as complete beginners! Most importantly, he is such a nice chap! He always manages to make you feel at ease with cheery chit-chat! He's also very honest and will always give his opinion where needed. If you need lessons in or around Oxford, then look no further!

Don has been a great friend to both my wife and I for well over a year and we'll both miss him! x

Very good instructor with loads of experience. Good technique, skill and sharp humour.

When I first started taking lessons with Don I was a terrified learner (trainee as Don prefers to call it) driver and I have just passed my test with only 3 minors! I couldn't have done it without Don! Lessons with him are engaging and fun. He has a way of making you feel at ease, but at the same time not letting any bad driving practice slip through the net. He is very encouraging and does not ask you take any more lessons than you need, a rare trait! He keeps calm in what could be potentially really stressful situations, and really treats you like you're one of his cadets- he took the trouble to come in and try and jumpstart our car when it broke down, without asking anything for it. My husband is now taking lessons with him, and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone!! Thanks coach! :D

The best driving instructor you could possibly ask for!
Very patient, lovely, and has great methods of teaching which really help you to learn exactly what you need in a short space of time. Don knows exactly what is needed of you in the test and never fails to better your driving skills with each lesson, I'm so pleased that I passed and couldn't have done it without him. Plenty of jokes and tunes throughout the lessons to lighten the mood!
You'll see me again for pass plus, thank you :)

Being one of Don's cadettes has been an absolute pleasure. He is not only statistically, but also practically, the greatest coach ever. He really knows his stuff - couldn't have done it without him, the legend. Other talents include dancing, taglines, and takeouts. 10/10, would do the 30 hours all over again!

Remember; if you can dream it, you can do it

The best instructor a man/woman can ever ask for! Informative, funny and most of all... He's the man!!

Such a talented instructor. With a great depth of knowledge.

A friend told me about Don and said how great he was. Never once did he make me feel like quitting and i passed first time. I would highly recommend him to everyone that's how good he his.

Passed first time with Don as my Coach. He is an excellent driving instructor - very organised and informative. Gave me all the materials I needed to pass both theory and practical. He also gave solid, constructive feedback each lesson and very useful tips on how to improve. I recommend him 100%. You won't be disappointed!

Don is a great instructor I had an international licence and needed to pass my uk test and Don was recommended to me by my wifes friends. He is calm, patient, very helpful and gave me great confidence, I had about 10 hours of lessons with Don and passed first time.
