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

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.

I had never driven before and was quite nervous about it before starting lessons with Ian, but I’ve just passed my test first time thanks to him! Ian is an amazing instructor and is very patient. He always makes lessons interesting with his terrible jokes and imaginary old ladies in the back (voice acted himself), I would recommend him to anyone!
Thanks so much!

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

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.

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.

Thank you for helping me pass my test! Thank you for all the laughs and making it such a great experience! Would definitely recommend Ian!

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 :-)

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

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!

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

Ian was a very good instructor. From the first lesson until I passed he helped me with anything I wasn’t sure about. Would highly recommend him as he is very understand and professional. He always supported me.

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.

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!!

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

A superb driving instructor and excellent communicator. Ian is able to effortlessly create a relaxed learning environment, putting you at ease, and focusing you on the learning tasks ahead. He builds consistent driving skills and confidence, whilst never condescending, and always tailoring the teaching to the way you learn best.

I unreservedly recommend him.

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.

The best instructor you’ll ever ask for, I passed my test first time in just a few weeks, thanks to Ian. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, while making sure he supported me, and in turn this encouraged me to grow and adapt to different situations, that you’d deal with in reality. I’d 100% recommend him to everyone.

Ian is not only a fantastic teacher but he is also a great guy. He has trained me throughout my journey to become a driving instructor and I am delighted to say that with his expert help and advice I have passed each test first time.

A lot of that is down to Ian's expert teaching style. I can only hope to be half the instructor he is going forward in my new career.

If anyone is looking for a trainer to get them through the tough ADI training then Ian is your man! Thank you for everything you have done for me over the training course and I am delighted to now be one of your colleagues within the fantastic DriveJohnson's family.

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! :)

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.

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

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

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!

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!!

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.

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

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!!

If there was 100 stars I would give it to this man he got me though my driving test that I didn’t think was possible top glass bloke I can not reccomend him enough to everyone no matter if you are new or old to driving this is the best driving Instuctor to learn with top bloke Ian

I had the pleasure of having Ian as my driving instructor and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! From the very first lesson, Ian made me feel at ease and confident behind the wheel. His wealth of knowledge and expertise, combined with his friendly and approachable demeanour, made each lesson enjoyable and productive.

I was especially impressed with Ian's ability to identify my strengths and weaknesses and tailor each lesson to my specific needs. He was always patient and encouraging, which really helped to boost my confidence on the road.

I highly recommend Ian to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my test with flying colours and I am now a confident and safe driver. Thank you, Ian!

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.

If you're looking for a patient, professional, super supportive driving instructor with a smooth and sassy car, you're in the right place. I'm really going to miss my lessons with Ian. I always felt like he was totally on my side and my driving improved every hour I spent with him. 100% value for money and loads of laughs along the way. My pink licence just arrived in the post and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for everything, Ian!

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!

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.

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** ;).

If there was 7 stars I would give them to Ian!!!
3 months ago, I had never sat infront of a steering wheel let alone actually drove a car. Today I passed my test first time, with only 4 minors! Ian, right from the very beginning of my learning journey built up my confidence and made sure every aspect of my driving was good. He is always offering very helpful constructive criticism however he never forgets to praise the good skills that you may have. This guy pays great attention to detail and learning to drive with him was an absolute pleasure. I 100% recommend learning with Ian, he is a very good teacher and instructor.

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.

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!

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.

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

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! :)

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

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 :)

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!

Becoming a driver is an expensive process however, I got my moneys worth out of each lesson I had with Ian. I'm not a very fast Learner and thought I would never drive and with the help of Ian, his jokes about Bessie in the back, linking driving to skills I already have and building my confidence to solve problems.
I would 100% recommend Ian and his flashy Red and White C3 and his not so funny jokes. If you want to learn how to drive, he is the instructor to learn with for sure! EXCELLENT INSRUCTOR
Thanks for helping me pass, I am driving around in my car now with Bessie drinking safely in the back, see you on the road :)

Learning with Robin was an absolute pleasure. He has a fantastic approach to teaching and always helped me feel comfortable and prepared. Issues with my driving were always raised and dealt with in good time and he was great at working around me. Plus, his take away recommendations are pretty good!

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!

Ian is an amazing driving instructor. After having a few years off learning to drive he really helped me to grow my confidence back. Lessons were always great and Ian was always so supportive as he would find a way to tailor what we were working on so it suited me and is great at making you feel at ease, mainly with all the jokes he comes out with! I couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you so much for everything!

Very good, understands how to cater to your needs
