Driving Lessons In Leicester

We have both manual and automatic driving instructors in the city available 7 days a week. Some of our automatic instructors offer lessons up to 9pm in the evening and at the weekends too. Whatever you are looking for in terms of your lessons, just let our friendly Bookings Team know on 0330 124 4877 and they will pair you with an instructor who can help.

Your driving instructor will arrive on time - if he/she is running late (which is very unlikely) then they will let you know in advance. Once your instructor arrives they will ask to see your driving licence and check your eyesight. Once in the car, they will ask you about your previous experience. If you have practised in the past, be sure to mention this to your instructor so they don’t start teaching you subjects you already know. Beginners will be driven to a quieter area nearby where they can build up their confidence and intermediate/test-ready pupils will often drive away from their house/college/workplace etc.

Your driveJohnson’s instructor will always be friendly, approachable and patient throughout your driving lessons. Sometimes, you may struggle with aspects of driving but it’s up to our instructors to work out the solution and provide quality coaching and guidance to help you overcome any challenges. If you are struggling with something then our instructors may refer to a diagram from a lesson planner or iPad (which is more interactive) and even offer a demonstration or partially assisted guidance. At the end of every lesson, strengths and weaknesses are recorded for your records so you can go away between lessons and use our famous learning centre to speed up your learning.

We do our best to make our driving lessons as enjoyable and informative as possible. We will always be able to assist you if you are not getting on with your driving instructor and feel this is making your learning an unenjoyable experience. If you are struggling with driving lessons due to nerves or finding it difficult, this is something your driving instructor is used to dealing with and they will be able to help you and offer some advice.

We recommend taking our 1-hour taster lesson so that you can meet your instructor and see how you get on before booking a block deal. Our taster lesson can also help to settle any first driving lesson nerves.

There are several locations where you can take your driving test. Thankfully, when you learn to drive in Leicester, you are also able to take your driving test at a test centre in the city.

You can take your driving test in two different locations in Leicester, and all of our local driving instructors are test route experts. Whether you want to take your driving test in Leicester, Wigston or Loughborough, our driving instructors can help you pass with confidence.

Learning to drive in any city can feel nerve-wracking and Leicester is no different. With its heavy traffic, complex ring roads (like the A563), multi-lane roundabouts (such as Pork Pie Island), as well as many cyclists and buses, it can seem intimidating. However, there is no need to be concerned when you learn with one of our instructors.

We handpick every one of our instructors for their high level of teaching. Each one is local to the area and they understand all of the tricky areas and exactly how to teach them to ensure you don't feel overwhelmed or anxious. They will gradually help you to build up your confidence and skills, tailoring your lessons to your needs and progressing you at a pace you feel happy with. Before you know it, you will be conquering all the challenges the city has to offer with ease, feeling fully prepared for your test and a lifetime of driving ahead of you!
