Abdullah helped both me and my sister pass first time. He's very calm, with lots of patience. He gave helpful feedback after every lesson.

It was fantastic to learn with Stephen we never had a dull moment and he helped me to pass fast, thanks Stephen??

I loved every minute of my lessons, would recommend Drivejohnsons to anyone (:

I have been learning driving in Spain so the opposite side of the road and then moved here, I was very nervous but to be honest my instructor in Coventry explained to me what to expect which definitely helped to then go and pass my practical examination thank you.

Stephen Jordan is a great instructor and a great representation of driveJohnson! He was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad he was as it was an amazing experience

Fantastic experience was a great time and it feels fantastic to be able to drive, couldn't recommend highly enough

Sean Smith is a fantastic instructor, and I can't fault him for anything. He was always punctual and had great lessons planned for me.

I had never stepped foot in a car before so I had no idea what to do, I called drive Johnsons office and spoke to a lady who was very kind, I asked for a nice and patient instructor who I was given and he helped me through step by step lessons. I was very anxious but he helped me pass my practical exam.

I have never met a kinder more patient person, Tahir designed a teaching plan that would suit my later years and I have him to thank for passing my test today. I last took a test 36 years ago and through his teaching ability am now able to drive, thank you sincerely . Would recommend him to anyone learning in an automatic.

Great experience and couldn't rate it any less than five out of five

Tahir helped me to pass first time. He is a great, patient and a very good instructor.
Would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Abdullah was always on time for my lessons and he even went over in some lessons to help me as I approached my test.

I really struggled with my nerves for my test and Abdullah really helped me feel at ease and gave me the belief I could pass.

Thank you driveJohnson's and of course Abdullah.

Terrific Tahir is what he should be called! He helped me ace my test in just 24 hours and I am so happy to have done so

Had a great time learning with Tahir and can't believe I passed with only three minors thanks for the help

Stephen is a very honest and skilled driving instructor who helped me pick up driving quickly and taught me so much every lesson. Thank you for everything Stephen.

Create a very calm environment whilst teaching
Is very well mannered and calm

Stephen sorted out a great lesson plan for me and if drive johnson's didn't put me with him there is no way I would have passed when I did, thank you so much Stephen for your help

My instructor Sean has been fantastic. He is always on time and makes our lessons enjoyable and, most importantly, very informative.

Sean mate, thanks a lot. Never thought I could pass first time with no minors but I did it! Best driving instructor around.

I had a great time learning to drive with Sean as he was super friendly and super professional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to learn to drive.

I had an experienced driving instructor from Drive Johnsons, the car was a Mercedes which my grandparents then went on and brought me as my first car. His car was spotless. During COVID I noticed he cleaned the car before I got in and then after I left so the hygiene was spot on. After my instructors hard work I then went on and passed first time GO ME!!!

Very experienced and knowledgeable instructor.
He made it very easy for me to learn driving.

Getting to learn with Stephen was such a great experience and being paired with him was great, thank you drive johnson

Abdullah is very professional in his job. Making a perfect learning environment.
I will highly recommend it for anyone

Abdullah helped me with all the skills I needed to pass my driving test. Highly recommended

Brilliant service from my instructor, he was laid back and very professional. I’m glad I picked this company after having 2 rubbish instructors from somewhere else. Would 100% recommend Drive Johnsons.

I passed first time!! :D Can’t wait to get on the road now!

Perfect score on my test and it is all thanks to Tahir, you are a great instructor and wish you could keep teaching me

Great experience with Tahir so glad I can now drive at the ripe old age of 25

5/5 Very easy to book and I got a lesson within a week, very happy with my instructor Sean so far.

I can't thank you enough for all of your help over the last 6 months. You've made learning to drive fun - thank you again :-)

English isn’t my first language, but Abduallah explained things in a way I could understand. Very respectful and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Always felt safe with him teaching me.

Very professional, calm and friendly instructor.
I couldn’t have done it without Abdullah.

Abduallah is a Brilliant instructor! Very calm and patient, even when I made silly mistakes.

I passed first time thanks to his clear guidance and support. Highly recommend.

Loved learning with Stephen a fantastic instructor and driveJohnson's are lucky to have him

Stephen is a great instructor and person and never lead me astray was fantastic to learn with him

Tahir is a star am so pleased to have passed and can't wait to go on road trips with all my friends now

Learning with Stephen was easy and simple and am so happy to have had him teach me

If you need to pass fast, then choose to learn with Sean. He is a fantastic instructor and always gave me great feedback, and because of that, I passed first time.

Make sure you ask for Tahir he is great and has a lovely automatic audi so if you learn auto pick Tahir without a second thought

I was struggling to get manual driving, I just couldn't do it and switched to auto and Tahir was the best choice, am so glad that I did this and am even more happy I can now drive

Stephen was honest with me from the first lesson and he told me what I needed to do to improve from day 1 and that was exactly what I needed to pass, thank you Stephen

Class instructor and top quality lessons, thank you for all your help and wisdom Stephen

After making over 20 calls and being told everywhere was fully booked, I managed to get a lesson booked with Drivejohnsons, and since then, I have had lessons weekly with my instructor Sean Smith. He is an excellent instructor. I would recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for helping me from the beginning to the end. I couldn't have done it without your help and guidance.

I had a good experience with DriveJohnsons from the get go nothing was ever too much he was calm and explained in great detail from what to expect in my lessons up until my exam, I was so nervous but I am extremely happy and passed my test.

Abdullah has very high standards which he teaches to from an easy level to test standard.

I found the lessons very enjoybale with him. Whenever I got something wrong, he always helped me and boosted my confidence.

Getting to drive with Stephen was great and I am so happy to have learnt with him as he was friendly, made it super easy and was good at keeping me calm. Thank you so much Stephen it was great to learn with you.

Abdullah is the best instructor in the town, very professional and well disciplined person.
Highly recommended to everyone

I spoke to a lovely woman at drivejohnsons and was paired with Tahir and it was if I do say so a great pairing. It was lovely to feel so comfortable and to be able to learn at my own pace

Test tip of the month for Coventry

When approaching an area or tricky junction you have never seen before (hopefully this doesn't happen), check your mirrors and come off the gas if you need some extra thinking time. If you come off the gas early, it will give you extra time to process information (such as the road markings, signs, other traffic etc.) and give you a better chance of dealing with it correctly on your driving test.

Useful driving test tip for Coventry Show more

Useful driving test tip for Coventry

Sometimes you will try to overtake someone and then they increase their speed. Pretty annoying right? If this happens on your test, just eat some humble pie and retreat back into the left hand lane. The other alternative is get into a race, possibly breaking the speed limit, resulting in a big fat FAIL at the end of your test.

Frequently asked questions...

Can you pick me up from any of the surrounding areas?

Our driving instructors are fully flexible with their pick-up and drop-off locations in the local area. This includes Coventry and the surrounding villages, such as Bedworth, Bulkington, Pickford Green, Burton Green, Kenilworth, Stoneleigh, Bubbenhall, Baginton, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Wolston, Brandon and more! They are more than happy to pick you up and drop you off from your lessons in a place convenient for you.

Do you offer intensive driving courses in Coventry?

If you want to pass super fast or by a particular deadline, our intensive driving lessons can help you. Our driving instructors are specifically trained in teaching intensive courses. We understand that all of our pupils are unique and their needs and abilities vary, that's why our courses are tailored to each individual pupil based on their different levels and requirements.

Do you have any female instructors?

We have a wide range of instructors in Coventry, and we are happy to say that we can offer female driving instructors. Whilst all of our instructors come highly trained and highly recommended, we understand that some people prefer to be taught by a female instructor.

At driveJohnson's, we handpick all of our instructors, meaning we can guarantee that they are both professional and experienced whoever you have teaching you. If you are after a female driving instructor in Coventry, call us today to book your lessons.

Can I take an intensive course in an automatic?

Yes, not only do we offer automatic driving lessons in Coventry, but we also offer intensive driving courses. If you want to pass fast in an automatic, then our intensive driving course in Coventry will be ideal.

Due to our ability to offer both automatic and manual lessons, along with the option to take intensive courses, we can help you to pass your test fast. If you want to take an automatic intensive course, let one of our booking coordinators know, and we can help you hit the road.

Where should I take my driving test?

Your nearest test centre is in Coventry, this is where the majority of learners will take their test. When taking driving lessons in Coventry, your instructor will already be trying to familiarise you with certain routes and difficult spots.

If you choose to take a test away from Coventry, we will still ensure that your instructor gives you sufficient test preparation. Where you take your test is your decision. However, we would recommend discussing your test location with your instructor before you book anything.

What will happen during my first lesson in Coventry?

Your driving instructor in Coventry will come to meet you at a time and place convenient for you. They will introduce themselves and have a quick chat with you to find out a bit more about you and your previous driving experience. They will also do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

If you have not had much prior driving experience, your driving instructor will take you to a quiet, residential road in Coventry, somewhere like Lila Avenue, where you can practice away from heavy traffic. Here you learn about the basic controls of the car, how to move off and stop, clutch control, changing gears and how to steer. You may also cover turning left and right from a major to minor road, and emerging from an open T Junction, depending on how quickly you are progressing.

If you have had more driving experience, your driving instructor will likely ask you to drive around the quieter areas in Coventry, such as Keresley Heath, so that they can assess your skill level and what areas you may need to strengthen before your test. They will then be able to tailor a lesson plan to your needs and give you an idea of how many driving lessons you will need to get you to test standard.

Rest assured, your driving instructor will tailor your driving lessons in Coventry to your requirements and you will always learn at a pace that suits you best.
