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

Paul was incredibly professional and always patient with me. I can't thank him enough for all of his help and support.

Just two days ago I passed my driving test first time very very pleased only had 7 weeks of driving lessons great instructor thanks Paul

Paul is a phenomenal instructor. With his help I passed first try. Paul has a great manner and adjusts to whether you're confident or a more anxious learner. He explains everything very well, helping you to understand what you're doing right and wrong. All around great instructor!

Paul made learning to drive a total pleasure. Forever patient, conscientious and professional, he helped build my confidence and imparted a certain wisdom that I know I will draw on for years to come as a driver. It was like learning from an old friend. Thank you Paul.

Paul has been a great instructor - patient and calm, always providing a clear guidance and instructions. I have passed my test first time and I'm sure i wouldn't have been a successful had it not been for Paul,'s help. Thank you!

Paul is very friendly and helpful- he was flexible with booking lessons around my work schedule, and helped me get up to speed really quickly (no pun intended) and was able to pass on my first attempt. Thanks Paul for all the help!

Nice and calm teacher to learn with.
Thank you very much for make my day Would recommend.

Paul has been great, his patience and optimism has helped me through my journey to becoming a driver. He has offered me many tips and tricks, and in times of stress he has always stayed calm. And if you like a bit of rock n roll, he’s your man !
Thanks Paul, just passed today and I couldn’t be happier !

Excellent driving instructor thanks to you, you have guided and pointed me in the right direction, i started with less confidence but now I have a knowledge on how to drive safe. I didn't expect to pass my test first time, but I did and I just want to thank you so much for your time. I would highly recommend to all new learners that are look to drive... Don't hesitate ??

Simply the best and the most professional instructor ever!!! Passed my test today all thanks to Paul and all the effort he put into teaching me how to drive. He was always patient with me, explained any mistakes I made and helped to fix them. I improved so much and feel much more confident about my driving skills. I’m beyond grateful for his hard work and couldn’t recommend a driving instructor any better!!

Jon is a fantastic instructor and is an outstanding bloke.

Paul is a great instructor he really helped me become a more confident driver and helped calm my nerves. I would highly recommend.

Amazing instructor and wonderful teacher. He was very patient and helped me build my confidences on the road. I would 100% recommend him. Overall lovely person.

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

Jon was fab and he helped me pass the first time with no minors. Jon and drive johnson has given me the best experience I could have asked for.

I would definitely recommend Paul. A great driving instructor with a lot of patience. Passed on the second attempt.

When I first started driving I was not confident at all , I had never been behind the wheel of a car. Paul was absolutely brilliant when it came to building up my confidence and getting me on the roads . He is very experienced and knows exactly what he’s doing. I couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor, and I highly recommend Paul, they don’t come any better.

Paul is an excellent driving instructor who helped me pass my test first time. He is very patient and he helped develop my confidence on the road. Would highly recommend to all learner drivers.

Paul was a fantastic instructor for me, I've heard horror stories of instructors shouting at pupils for making mistakes and that put me off for a while. Paul was extremely calm with his instructions and critiques, always explaining what the mistakes were and how to correct them. Gave praise when thinks went well, and adjusted his teaching to match how I was learning as we progressed. Would recommend to anyone learning to drive for sure!

Answers to any questions you have. Very careful and supportive. Always on time.

Jon Sears was fantastic. He honestly made me feel so comfortable and he was so laid back which just meant that I could focus on driving and not have to worry about anything else. It felt great to learn with him and I am so happy he was my teacher.

Paul is an absolutely brilliant instructor. I started off my lessons very nervous to drive (thought it’s something i’d always wanted to do). He always ensured to explain to me how everything works and how to drive confidently yet vigilantly. He was always available and reliable and overall a great person/teacher!
Thanks to Paul I passed first time with only 5 minors.
I highly recommend Paul to any and all new drivers.
Thanks Paul!

Felt really reassured and confident driving with Paul, he helped me crack everything I was struggling with and most importantly got me my pass. Can’t fault his experience, knowledge and good nature!

Paul is the best instructor really good at teaching I like how he teaches

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.

I have just passed my driving test with no minors after learning with Paul for 4 months - I have really enjoyed all of my lessons and can't wait to start driving!

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.

Was really impressed by Jon's lessons, was a great guy and really friendly. Thank you so much Jon.

Having been recommended by numerous friends, I experienced excellent advice, tips and feedback allowing me to progress with ease with Paul. He was very calm, inviting and could give easily understandable advice. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn to drive and pass quickly! Thank you very much.

First time passed! Very approachable instructor.
We covered everything on my driving test so I felt really confident.

Learning with Jon was easy, he has a great demeanour about him and made it so simple to learn. Jon helped me learn the test routes and every tricky area that could pop up and thanks to him I passed straight away.

My driving instructor, Paul, truly stands out for being not only patient and confidence-building but also incredibly easy-going. Paul understood my needs as a student, tailoring each lesson to my specific challenges. This personalized approach created a stress-free learning environment, making the entire process enjoyable and effective. I can't thank him enough for his exceptional teaching style, earning him a solid 5-star rating from me!

Fantastic instructor, really helpful and patient.

Paul has been a great instructor, easy to arrange lessons with. Very easy to get along with and made me feel confident as a driver and I passed first time, highly recommend!

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.

Passed my test first time! Definitely recommend Paul to others, very patient and professional.

A really great instructor and all-around nice guy. Paul showed great patience and helped me loads in in increasing my confidence on the road. He identified my areas of weakness and focused on turning them into my strengths. Always pleasant and friendly to drive and chat with. Took me from being a very nervous novice to a confident road user looking forward to spending more time behind the wheel.
Just passed my test on my second attempt and think I'm really going to miss my weekly lessons now. Would definitely recommend Paul to any prospective learners.
Thank you so much for everything! ;)

Great instructor made me feel at ease and I Passed after 5 attempts with other company's. Highly recommend

very good experience with paul. Very calm environment in lessons and clear instructions and advice on becoming a safe driver.

I needed to get my licence to carry on working due to moving away from my work. With Jon Sears help, I have been able to keep my job and even get a promotion. Thank you for helping to change my life, Jon.

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

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

Paul gave me the confidence and skill I needed to pass my test first go. He's extremely patient especially when I made mistakes but also extremely patient with teaching. I'm glad that Paul was my instructor as he taught me the skills I'll bring with me for life!

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to Paul, who had me passed on my first test. His Level headed instruction and effective training method allowed me to pass. My lessons were always comfortable and chatty. Thanks again
Ewan, Corby

I had a great time learning with Paul, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Paul was a great instructor- very patient, calm and clear with instructions and guidance. I have passed my test first time and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to do so as successfully had it not been for Paul's help. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will I take my test?

When you take driving lessons in Market Harborough, you will need to take your test in another location. Your closest three options are Kettering, Northampton and Wellingborough.

However, we will make sure that once you are a comfortable driver, you begin learning where you want to take your test. This means that we won't long your lessons out and make you learn in an area that won't benefit your chances of passing.

What areas will I go to learn to drive when taking driving lessons in Market Harborough?

Market Harborough has several great places to develop your skills as you are learning to drive. One, in particular, is the car park behind the Roebuck just off of the A4304, Rockingham Road. The best part of practising here is that it has a lot of wide-open spaces and places for you to practice your parking. It is generally much quieter than other spots, and it allows you to nail bay parking without the pressure of other cars.

If you want to practice car control and turning, then a great place to do this is Chatsworth Drive. This is because it is a long quiet road that has left and right turns in. The benefit to practising along this road is that it not only helps you practice the basics once you have reached the end of the road, but you can also then go down Audley Close.

What do I cover when I begin my lessons?

When you begin taking driving lessons in Market Harborough with our local instructors, they will make sure you have a robust set of basic skills before they start to add more and more techniques. The fundamentals you will learn are the car's controls, adjusting the seat and mirrors, what pedal does what, moving off and stopping and how to steer.

Once you have developed these skills, you can then begin to tackle scenarios that involve more road users. These include joining major and minor roads, turning left from major to minor roads, turning right from major to minor roads, which is more difficult than turning left and tackling t-junctions.
