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.

Jon was a great instructor and really helped me pass with ease. I can't wait to get out on the road and it's all thanks to him. Keep up the great work Jon.

Great instructor, helped me through my test and amazing man!! Can’t thank him enough!

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!

Passed my test first time with only 3 minors after just 4 lessons with Paul, he's a great instructor and a really nice guy.

Fantastic experience, and I have nothing to complain about. Jon is superb, and make sure you learn with him.

I’m so glade i went with drive Johnson’s driving school , paul hirst is a great driving instructor, helped me with my confidence and was friendly
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

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

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.

Fantastic instructor, really helpful and patient.

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

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

I passed first time with Paul, he was very patient and understanding. Was very helpful if I needed to go over anything. 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!

Drive Johnsons is a good driving school, but the best driving instructor is Paul, very patient and a very good teacher who helped me to pass my test. Strongly recommended!

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.

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

Paul is a very patient and passionate instructor. With his encouragement and of course my hard work I was able to pass first time. There were ups and downs throughout the lessons but I got there in the end. Thank you Paul.

Absolutely amazing driving instructor, I had a few before he was my favourite and most helpful instructor. Really nice guy always available to help. Thank you so much Paul

If you are looking for a local and reliable instructor, then look no further than Paul Hirst. He is super friendly and also incredibly professional.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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

It was great to learn with Paul as he was super professional and incredibly welcoming. He was great at keeping me calm and made me feel in control all of the time.

I was terrified to be a driver on the roads, but now I am confident due to passing first time. Jon has helped grow my confidence and make me a better driver.

I honestly couldn't have passed without him, he always found away to boost my confidence. He had a calm presence and was lovely to drive with. I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Great instructor and friendly person

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!

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

All I can say is that Paul is an amazing instructor would recommend to everyone. He is very passionate about his job and wishes the best for everyone, he makes you feel confident even if something little went wrong always kind no matter what. honestly he is a brilliant instructor and I hope he carries on for a long time. as all of his students will feel comfortable and confident in all their lessons with him , he gives great advise, always has a chat with u, and always see hope and potential for all his students. Thanks to Paul I passed my driving test today 1st time with his amazing help and support, highly recommend

When I learnt with Jon I always knew when my lessons were, what I would be doing and what I needed to do to improve. Thank you for being so helpful Jon.

Amazing driving instructor, very helpful, it took me only 6 lessons to pass my driving test. Thank you for that.

Paul is amazing, my friend recently passed her test with Paul and I had another instructor and was really struggling, so my friend recommended Paul, and I'm so glad she did. He boosted my confidence completely and I past my test within 2 months and first time with 4 minors. Very very happy :)

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.

Amazing teacher, very patient and flexible with lessons. Passed first time with him as my only teacher and felt confident afterwards thanks to his teachings.

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!

Didn't get along with my old instructo, changed to Paul and he's helped me pass first time. Would recommend.

Brilliant instructor, highly recommended for those who want to pass asap. Passed second time round

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

Paul is a fantastic driving instructor. Having had troubles with a previous instructor, paul helped me restore my confidence (something i struggle with the most) and enabled me to see my own faults and find ways to resolve them. Paul put my mind at ease and made me believe i can do it. A very big thank you for all your help.

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

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 instructor, passed 1st time within 6 months.
Thank you so so much!

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 !

Paul is awesome. Calm, informative, and very helpful. And a nice chap. Most importantly, I passed on first test! Thanks Paul!

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!

Quality instructor- knows his stuff definitely. Helped nurture my progress every single lesson- really attentive to any habits and effectively fix them. Passed 2nd time and wouldn't have wanted any other mentor.

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.
