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!

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.

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

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!

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.

I made a great decision by choosing to learn with drivejohsnon and Jon Sears, as he has helped me become a fully qualified driver after only 30 hours. He was so organised, made a great impression and knew all the test routes.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Fantastic instructor, friendly and patient and overall nice guy

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!

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.

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

Very calming and casual with students, an attitude which greatly helped me progress. Choice sometimes to stop the student and slow everything down makes things easier. Would recommend!

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! :)

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

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!

Fantastic instructor, really helpful and patient.

I had a great time learning to drive with Sean as he was super friendly and super professional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to learn to drive.

Had a blast learning with Jon as it was fun and he kept me on my toes and pushed me to be the best driver I could be. Couldn't praise him enough.

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

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.

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

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 ??

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

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

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!

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 👌

Honestly amazing instructor , takes time to thoroughly explain aspects of driving to make sure the student feels confident when driving. Lovely guy, easily to get on with and is supportive when you don’t get things quite correct. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an enjoyable learning experience :)

Paul is super knowledgeable and always answers any question that I have. He is a great instructor and a truly lovely person.

Having tried over schools I am glad that I chose to drive with driveJohnson and Jon in particular. He made it easy to get my head around the more difficult aspects of driving and I am so happy he was my teacher.

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.

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 a patient and encouraging instructor. Even as an experienced driver (recently moved to the UK from the states) I was a bit uneasy driving in a new country and apprehensive to take my practical exam. Jon put me at ease from the start and gave me all the tools I needed to pass my exam. Highly recommended!

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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

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

Jon was great he had me driving in no time and made sure we never had a dull lesson, if I had to do it all over again I would pick Jon in a heartbeat.

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.
