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.

absolutely outstanding instructor!! paul was extremely patient with me for the 2 and a half years I’ve been doing lesson. he guided me through the steps of how to drive and has been nothing but positive through the whole thing. I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s helped me through and for helping me to get where I am today!! thank you so so much! would 20000% recommend

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! ;)

I had a tremendous experience learning with Jon Sears. He is an incredible instructor and was super friendly.

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.

Paul made my learning experience really easy, friendly guy and always on time. Super understanding and made my learning experience enjoyable and easy

Absolutely fantastic instructor with a fantastic sense of humour
Overall great teacher
Who made me pass
Couldn’t recommend him more !!

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!

Brilliant driving teacher! Affordable and flexible too on times and is very approachable and friendly. Will be recommending to anyone wanting good quality driving lessons :)

Jon is a great instructor, and thanks to him, I passed first-time fault free.

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.

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.

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 has been an fantastic teacher and enjoyable learning with, very reliable too. I recommend Paul to anyone.

Very patient and understanding, takes his time to make sure you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, and keeps you motivated to continue your journey to the finish line. 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.

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.

Good instructor passed on my third go, addressed every problem after failing and worked out to be a good teacher and generally a nice guy, drive johnsons is the way.

Paul is a 5 star instructor I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough! It took a lot for me to be able to write this review but after an uncountable amount of hours and even some tears I finally got there!!! I couldn’t have done it without him !! Thank you so much Paul!

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.

Paul is a great instructor, he helped me pass first time within 4 months carrying no minors.

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.

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend.

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!

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.

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

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 is an excellent instructor very patient and creates a relaxing learning environment also very reliable would highly recommend for any learner drivers

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.

Superb instructor and all round great guy. Put my son at ease straight away and helped him gain confidence week by week. Resulting in a 1st time pass. Highly recommended 👌

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.

Absolute 5 star instructor. Started nervous and getting things wrong to teaching me well with a pass with 3 minors. Would recommend him to anyone!!! Can't thank him enough

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.

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

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! :)

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

Paul was a very pacient instructor, and it took a while but he helped me pass. He's a calm instructor and goes over anything that you might struggle with.

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.

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.
