10/10 service from Thomas and the staff at drivejohnsons. Top driving instructor and would highly recommend. Cheers!

Lessons were banging, I always enjoyed it and my instructor knew I had to get it done quick. Made the right choice in going to these guys

I've only had 2 lessons (2hours) so far and yet driving feels so natural. I had never driven before and couldn't imagined myself behind a wheel but thanks to Paul, I've become so much more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. He is a fantastic, relaxed, reassuring, encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend

I have really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, I was a very nervous learner, Paul made learning to drive seem really easy, I have now passed thanks to Paul.

I had an outstanding experience with Tom, who played a pivotal role in my success in passing the driving test on my first attempt. From the very first lesson, he demonstrated not only a deep understanding of driving techniques but also a patient and encouraging demeanor that immediately put me at ease. Their ability to communicate complex maneuvers in a clear and concise manner made the learning process enjoyable and comprehensible. One of the standout qualities of Tom is their unwavering patience. No question was too small or insignificant, and each query was met with a thorough and thoughtful explanation. The detailed reviews after each session gave me clear understanding on the faults I made and helped me prepare myself for the next session. Thanks to Tom, I feel well-equipped to navigate the roads safely and confidently. I highly recommend Tom to anyone in search of an exceptional driving instructor. Thank you for making my learning experience enjoyable!

1st lesson with Dilip was great, made me feel really comfortable.

Sadia is a professional, friendly, supportive and patient instructor. She focused on my success and helped me get over my nervousness and lack of confidence after failing my first test with a different instructor. Thank you so much!

Sadia is top instructor! I am so glad I got taught by her, very paciente and understanding definitely made me feel comfortable and with her help and support I managed to Pass my driving test so congrats to you as well Sadia!

Wish you all the best x

Great instructor, found a way to communicate and made good progress along with a few laughs whilst at it.

Thank you Sadia

Tom is unquestionably an excellent teacher. He has taught me how to drive responsibly and safely with the help of his instruction and patience. He really makes us feel at ease, and I am grateful for the support, confidence, and trust he brings. I'd suggest Tom wholeheartedly.
- Thank you Tom

Great instructor, highly recommend

Tom was a great instructor. He was very patient at the start and gave me excellent advice and teaching so I was able to pass my test first time. Would highly recommend.

My son has been doing lessons for around 2 months with drive johnsons. He loves his lessons and always impresses me with the amount he has learnt in each of his 2 hour lessons. I feel that I chose the best place, and will certainly recommend them to others needing lessons.

Thanks Thomas for making it possible for me to pass my driving test first time, couldnt have done it without you.

Amazing experience!🫶
Sadia is perfect instructor, friendly and with a lot of patience(I admire her for that).
If you afraid of driving - go to Sadia, she will make you a good and confident driver!😁🫶 She made me to pass the test of the first time!
Thank you, my dear!🫶 I will miss you🫶

Paul is the most encouraging and positive person I know. In the beginning I was nervous about driving and thought I was slow compared to other people, but Paul encourages me constantly. He is hilarious and honestly makes driving lessons fun.

Tom is absolutely lovely teacher! He is trying all he can that you would learn and pass your exam! Massive Thank You to Tom for giving me useful lessons and patience during this time !

I was a really nervous driver with no experience, Dilip made the lessons feel really easy, his instructions were always clear and easy to follow.

Really good school to use, they have a lot of flexibility and are really easy going. I have had 3 instructors with driveJohnson’s because of moving areas and all of them have been amazing.

Paul is an excellent instructor and I've progressed immensely in my driving since beginning lessons with him - with his calm manner of teaching he's instilled me with confidence and self belief in my ability, which I didn't have when I first started my lessons with him. I'm progressing well with his teaching and looking forward to taking my test soon when a slot is available locally. Highly recommend him.

Sadia is amazing and so supportive she really puts the time in to make sure you succeed and for that I’m so grateful! Thank you once again xx

I passed my practical driving test today! I just want to give the biggest thank you to my instructor Sadia. Not only has she taught me how to drive and be a safe driver on the road. She has also taught me self-confidence which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. She’s very patient and supportive and she will be your biggest cheerleader. Thank you so much!

Loved my lessons with Thomas, they were very informative, well structured and enjoyable! Thomas is really knowledgable and definitely knows his stuff, if you're looking for driving lessons I would highly recommend Thomas.

I’d like to thank Sadia for being a fabulous teacher. From the beginning Sadia was super friendly, supportive & patient. We had great conversations laughs whilst learning which made every lesson enjoyable. I’d like to thank Sadia for helping me pass, super grateful.

Passed 1st time with Dilip, great instructor, patient and very knowledgable

Just passed my driving test with Tommy, top guy and quality instructor. Cheers Thomas.

10/10 service from the office & the instructor, can’t recommend them enough.

Sadia is super supportive and reassuring! In every lesson you can see her desire to see you succeed. A great instructor

Thank you Tom! Great instructor

Tom is a really good instructor. Supportive, calm, friendly and patient. He is flexible to date and time changes. He was my wife's instructor as well. Both of us passed first time. I would recommend him to anybody looking to start driving lessons. Thank you very much Tom

Ive been driving in India for 9 yrs and need to pass UK test. The instruction is good and I dont feel like my money is been wasted. I had my test this morning and I passed 4 minors.

Thank you to my amazing driving instructor Kulvinder who helped me pass first time! Kulvinder was my 3rd driving instructor and was definitely by far the best! Thank you Kulvinder.

I recently passed my practical driving test. My instructor was the best instructor in the whole world, SADIA NASIR, and I am very pleased with the experience. Mrs Sadia is an exceptional driving instructor who combines professionalism with a friendly and supportive teaching style.
I highly recommend Sadia Nasir to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, making the entire learning process smooth and effective.

Thank you, Mrs Sadia, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!

Sadia is a great instructor, and she helped me to achieve my goal of learning to drive. I couldn't have done this without her.

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

Great instructor! Pushes you to the limits. I passed my test with 1 minor fault at Barking!

Great instructor, got me through my test for the 1st time with only 2 minors.

Sadia is a great instructor, thoroughly professional and yet very personable. She works around a specific pupil’s needs and that makes her lessons highly efficient. Me and my wife both took lessons with her, we highly recommend her!

great instructor, passed my test 1st time with only 3 minors, thank you Dilip

It was a fantastic experience learning with Sadia. She was so confident and that confidence rubbed off onto me, and with every lesson, I just felt more and more confident. Thank you for helping me to pass.

Thanks to Hamid I just passed my driving test 1st time with 3 minors !! Brilliant driving instructor !

I had the best time learning with driveJohnson's and Sadia Nasir. She was straightforward to talk to and learn from, and I can't thank her enough. It is thanks to her that I passed without any minor faults.

Passed my test a week ago with this instructor, he is honestly the more decent guy & a fantastic teacher! Don’t hesitate about booking with him

I passed my test today. I could not have done it without Sadia. She helped me calm my nerves and trust my instincts. Before, I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but you helped me become more relaxed and a safer driver. I have your voice in my head directing and guiding me throughout the test which helped😂. I wanna say thanks again for all your support!!

Mohammed is the best driving instructor around, would recommend him to anyone. Thanks mate!

I had such a great experience learning to drive with Sadia. She was incredibly patient and supportive, helping me through every step of the process. Even when I struggled or doubted myself, she gave me the push I needed to keep going and improve. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test with confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive ❤️

I learnt to drive with Sadia and passed first time with only one minor!
I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with her. She was professional as well as friendly. She made learning an enjoyable experience for me.

My daughter just finished learning to drive with Thomas and passed her test first time. We couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor for her. He was reliable, trustworthy and made her feel comfortable from the first lesson. Will be recommending him to all of my friends!

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

I couldn’t recommend Sadia enough. She is a wonderful instructor who is very patient with all aspects in your lessons. She supported me and did everything she could to accommodate me and my personal life to give lessons and support I needed. Boosting my confidence even when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you Sadia

Test tip of the month for Loughton

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.

Useful driving test tip for Loughton

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.

Frequently asked questions...

How many lessons will I need before I take my driving test?

This really varies from person to person and we wouldn't want to get your hopes up with false claims. On average, a complete beginner will require 23-24 hours of driving tuition with us before they are test ready; however, this can be considerably less or more. With our intensive courses pupils take on average 1-4 weeks to pass their driving test. We will never put you forward for your driving test unless we're 100% sure that you're ready for it.

Can I be picked up from any of the surrounding areas?

Yes, our driving instructors can pick you up from any of the surrounding areas, whether that is in London or outside of Loughton. We're happy to pick you up and drop you off in the local area and a location that suits you. So whether you live in Loughton, High Beach or Debden, we can collect you at your convenience.

What will I need to bring to my first driving lesson?

On your first driving lesson, do make sure you have your provisional driving licence with you because your driving instructor will need to see this before they can start teaching you to drive. Other than this, you just need to bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
