ATTENTION:We have space for 3 new learners for driving lessons in Hinckley!

Ian is really a great instructor. He is professional, patient, nice, humorous, and can always figure out the best method for me to address my driving issues. It took longer than I expected to get my license, but with his support and encouragement, I finally got it and I believe my skills learned under his guidance will make my driving safe in the future as well. Ian not only provided professional driving training but also helped build up my confidence. I really appreciate it.
I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to pass their driving test.

Best driving instructor in Leicester. Soo lucky I had Ian, funny and great sense of humor. Unfortunately I won't be there anymore now that I've passed so I leave you with this Ian :). **Thats totally my bad** ;).

Ian was a great instructor for me, he was friendly, patient, really knowledgeable and very funny. I found it really easy to get on with him, I highly recommend him!!!

I started lessons with Robin in February as a very nervous driver with not much self confidence, having already had 2 previous instructors, and after about 2-3 lessons with him I was comfortable driving long journeys in my own car and had way more confidence in my ability to drive. I had my test booked for August but luckily got a cancellation for July which I took and passed first time with three minors. Robin has given me a lot more belief in myself and is a great instructor, I used to get very anxious driving but he calmed my nerves and put me at ease almost instantly. He has a very calm and patient manner and I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Ian is a wonderful instructor and has supported me from day one of my driving lessons.

He made every lesson enjoyable, and would work around both the things both myself and him wanted to improve. He helped increase my awareness and confidence on the road allowing me to pass my exam.

I would recommend Ian to anyone wanting to learn to drive because his lessons are second to none and he's a brilliant person to learn from!!

Ian is a kind, empathetic and knowledgable instructor. His ability to tailor his lessons and approach to his students is exemplary. I am a PDI and so needed help with my part 2. Even being a seasoned driver, I was very nervous. Ian knew exactly how to help me which led to an excellent pass after his lessons. I cannot rate Ian more highly. I will drive for over two hours for him to teach my Son, so that’s high praise indeed.

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

Was nervous when I first started but Ian soon Calmed them down, Ian made me feel safe and assured me that I was doing fine!! Very easy to get along with!! Would recommend Ian to anyone! Fantastic driving Instructor!!

Great Instructor, helped me with my confidence. Would recommend to anyone. Will miss the stories!

Amazing instructor, I can't thank Ian enough for me passing, he is very patient also friendly, I really enjoyed all my lesson and would deffo highly recommend him, I am so pleased I have passed and this wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for Ian. Thank you so much :-)

Really great guy and an even better instructor. I couldn’t have passed my test without him, he went above and beyond to assure I was a safe driver and for that I’m grateful. I highly recommend.

You can tell Ian is an experienced instructor as he can easily change his way of teaching you to a way that suits you. I passed first time with his help. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Robin was great I had my test booked already but when I started with him he knew exactly how to help and got me passed

An amazing instructor, who helped me to build up my confidence behind the wheels and become more aware of others around me.
Always finding ways to help me solve the problems I came across and keeping me calm whenever it became too much, with lots of fun stories. I’ll miss all the crazy jokes and having lots of different characters in the back, reminding me not to spill Bessie’s glass of wine!
Hope you find more smiley star stickers Ian! Honestly, if it wasn’t for Ian, I don’t think I would’ve been able to pass!
I’d 100% recommend him to anyone!
Thank you so much Ian!

Ian is an amazing driving instructor made me feel at ease safe and confident behind the wheel ,he knows his stuff !! So easy to get on with heis hilarious ,great person ,I passed first time !!! Thanks again :)

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

Great instructor, very understanding and patient, nice person to drive with and very knowledgeable. Passed first time and it was all down to the well planned lessons before the exam. Cannot thank Ian enough!

I passsd first time with Ian and couldn’t recommend him more. I was a very nervous driver in big areas and he helped me overcome that, not just for my test but for when I’m on my own. Will recommend to anyone!

This guy truly is amazing! I suffer with anxiety and always thought id never be able to drive a car yet with ians help i have now passed and im loving every minute of it! Thanks again ian and drive johnsons! Keep doinv what you do ian as it works

I learnt with Ian and I passed my driving test first time! He’s a really good instructor and is very good at making you feel comfortable and building confidence. He gives really trustworthy advice and is able to change his lessons to suit you as an individual. He lets you choose what you want to do in the lesson and if you’re not sure, he’ll always have an idea in mind. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor!

I bought lessons for my son for his birthday with Ian. Great instructor.

I had a decent amount of lessons with Robin. This guy is the real deal. Always pushing you to become a better driver - but with a super understanding and relaxed approach.
He didn’t just teach me how to pass my test, he taught me how to be an awesome driver. I couldn’t recommend him enough, especially if you are someone who gets easily overwhelmed.

Ian is an unbelievably amazing instructor, he has several brilliant qualities that makes him an astounding instructor: he is kind, very patient, pays great attention to detail and has the ability to calm you down when you feel things are becoming too much in the lesson by telling his crazy jokes about Bessie and other characters ? each lesson I would be in fits of laughter from his crazy jokes and stories!
He has worked so hard with me, picking up on my flaws and fixing them to become a better driver and has also built greatly on my confidence!
I honestly don’t think l would of been able to pass if l didn’t have Ian as an instructor, it has been such a pleasure having him teach me. I would recommend him to anyone!

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

Ian is by far the best instructor i couldve had. He had a lot of work on his hands with teaching me as im not the best learner and im pretty shy. He made me feel very comfortable and persevered with me and got me through my test with only 3 minors ... i will by far be recommending him to anyone thats asking for a driving instructor

I’m not sure there’s a word that would quite encapsulate the gratitude that I have for Ian, with how expertly he trained me to pass my test first time. I’ve seen other reviews talk about Ian’s unique teaching style, and I could not agree more, he is incredible at tailoring the experience to the person he is teaching, and I always felt like I was in a safe environment to make a mistake and learn from it. He always put a smile on his face on every lesson and was always very patient with me, and had a great sense of humour with his impressions, and I honestly don’t think I could have a found a better driving instructor.
Thanks again, Ian.

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.

Great person and will always bring your best out. He does acknowledge flaws but tries to find a way to overcome them or ‘meet in the middle’ to help you further your skills. Thank you for all you have done and I hope to see you on the roads.

I was probably ians worse learner as i was extremely nervous on the road and let the nerves get the better of me.
Ian helped me over come this and made me the very aware cautious driver that i am today. He was so patient with me no matter how much i messed up.
Thankyou ian i wouldnt be the confident driver i am today without you.

At first contact, I knew Ian would be a fantastic instructor. Every day we'd start the day with same joke "Hey dude! Don't mind if I call you dude?" Always made me laugh and now looking back was a great way to start a lesson; always making it feel like just another day driving, making my nerves disappear. That's what I liked about Ian, he completely distracted you from the fears of driving with interesting conversations, really rubbish but funny jokes and positive comments about my driving.

What I also liked about Ian was, joking aside, how straight forward he was with his explanations on how to carry out maneuvers and his concerns/feedback. Never making me feel bad about my mistakes, never talking in a patronising tone, always made sure I was happy and confident with my ability to preform maneuvers to a standard far above the passing level.

Coming to test day, he made sure that I was confident and had no reason to doubt myself. A really nice guy, fantastic instructor and an amusing amateur voice actor!

Can't thank him enough for helping me get my license first time! Wishing him all the best.

Definitely the instructor everyone needs!

Brilliant instructor, can't recommend anyone else other than Ian, when there's obstacles in learning to drive, Ian is brilliant for you to overcome them (from my experience). Highly recommend as I've passed my test 1st time with him.

Ian is a brilliant driving instructor built up my confidence from day one after noticing that i was nervous.
Ian is also punctual as well as being patient and put me at ease straight away. His car was good to learn in and well maintained.
Ian knows his stuff and I achieved this quicker than I thought I ever would thank to how he is.
Would recommend Ian to anyone.

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

ian’s easily best about, such a good teacher with his own unique ways of teaching

Ian Dickman is a superb driving instructor. When I first started out with him, I was on the brink of quitting my driving lesson. He explains things and makes it so easy to grasp. I couldn't ask for a better teacher.

Thank you

Dean

Absolutely amazing instructor! Built my confidence after failing my test twice previous with a different instructor, then 1st test with ians help i passed. Im so happy and would highly reccomend ian to anyone.

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 have just passed my test and I believe that Ian was the reason for it not just the driving technique but also the mentality and how to be confident at the wheel, I will always recommend him to any of my friends and I am glad to have called him my driving instructor.

Ian was recommended to me by a colleague after being with another instructor for over a year and failing my test multiple times. I have today just passed my test with a massive smile on my face and would like to thank Ian for his persistence. If you struggle with something he will always find a way to make it comfortable for you. Would highly recommend. Thanks for everything!!

An excellent driving teacher who picked up on my flaws and worked on them tirelessly. Ian is a perfectionist and helped me pass a test i previously thought was impossible ubtil i switched. Ian helped me get over or resolve nerves i had. moreover, and most importantly he is a kind, funny bloke who wants the best for people

Fantastic. Helped me pass, tips for after passing, confidence building, and generally a good teacher. Wicked sense of humour and totally professional.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! After numerous driving instructors I got in contact with Ian and it was the best decision I made. Ian completely changed my perspective of driving and got me through my test with only 2 minors. I wouldn't of been able to do it without him. Would definitely 100% recommend him!!

I hadn't driven for over 5 years before starting lessons with Robin, and he helped me to get back up to standard very quickly. After learning with Robin I didn't have to worry about the test, as he got me to a standard beyond what the examiner needs to see. As Robin offers early morning lessons I could learn before work, which fitted my schedule perfectly.I'd recommend Robin to anyone looking for an instructor.

Started with Ian having never drove before and passed first time!
He is really good at changing teaching style to fit you and it worked really well for me. I would recommend him to anyone that’s going to start driving, he is a great teacher

Ian‘s very good and reliable at what he does! He helped bring out the confidence in my driving that I lacked and has helped me get on the road quicker than I ever thought I would without feeling rushed! Very calm when things don’t go to plan which makes you feel at ease knowing it’s ok to make mistakes! I highly recommend Ian to anyone, especially people who lack in confidence!

Ian is the best instructor I could of hoped for.
I’ve been practicing with him for about 12 months with breaks because of covid but that didn’t stop us from having a laugh.
I didn’t expect to enjoy learning to drive as much as I did thanks to Ian.
He was always very calm and helped gain my confidence his instructing is immaculate.
I’d 100% recommend him to anyone.
Thanks mate!

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

I started learning with Ian a few months ago and honestly he is one of the nicest, funniest guys I’ve met. He calmed my nerves down with my Driving and he helps by breaking the lessons up with his crappy jokes ;). I sure will miss Ian, Bessie and the Queen being in the back of the car with a cup of tea!
Thanks so much for helping me pass Ian! I couldn’t have done it without you! :)

Highly recommend Robin to anyone that’s completely new to driving!! I was so nervous learning to drive and he completely put me at ease with his hilarious jokes and sense of humour! Such a great help! His calm and patient demeanour made all the difference. Robin always created such a relaxed environment so that I felt confident and supported throughout every lesson! His clear instructions and step-by-step approach helped me to improve steadily without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re looking for someone who is big on safety, who truly knows how to teach with kindness and professionalism, Robin is the one! Brilliant instructor!

absolutely amazing instructor!! after failing the first time with a different instructor, I turned to Ian for help and I wouldn't look back! after only 4 hours of driving with Ian before my next test I learned considerable amounts and succeeded by passing the 2nd time round. Would 100% recommend Ian as a driving instructor! makes you feel confident and comfortable! :)
