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.
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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.
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 would definitely recommend Paul. A great driving instructor with a lot of patience. Passed on the second attempt.
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!
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.
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!
Was really impressed by Jon's lessons, was a great guy and really friendly. Thank you so much Jon.
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.
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.
Paul is a fantastic instructor. He really helped me to develop my confidence on the roads and made me a safer driver. He is always very supportive and patient and i would definitely recommend him.
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.
Answers to any questions you have. Very careful and supportive. Always on time.
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.
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
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 made my learning experience really easy, friendly guy and always on time. Super understanding and made my learning experience enjoyable and easy
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!
Paul is awesome. Calm, informative, and very helpful. And a nice chap. Most importantly, I passed on first test! Thanks Paul!
If you need an instructor, make sure you learn with Jon Sears, as he is one of the best instructors. I can't recommend him highly enough as he was super friendly and made me feel incredibly confident.
Nice and calm teacher to learn with.
Thank you very much for make my day Would recommend.
I had mainly been self taught via my mum but after failing my first test, with a fair few faults, I decided to book a few lessons with Paul. He managed to fit me in with not a lot of warning and gave me some really useful advice not only to pass the test but also to become an all round better driver too. He has a great sense of humour and really put me to ease on my test day. In the end I managed to pass, first time with him, with 0 faults. I really recommend Paul!
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.
First time passed! Very approachable instructor.
We covered everything on my driving test so I felt really confident.
Jon was great he had great knowledge of the area and made it so I knew all the tricky spots. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher.
Great instructor, passed 1st time within 6 months.
Thank you so so much!
Brilliant instructor, highly recommended for those who want to pass asap. Passed second time round
Paul is a great instructor he really helped me become a more confident driver and helped calm my nerves. I would highly recommend.
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.
Jon made my driving experience fun. I may have been nervous to start but he made it so I never felt rushed and was so confident and calm when it came to my test that I just knew I would pass. Thank you Jon you are the best.
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.
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!
Paul is a great instructor, he helped me pass first time within 4 months carrying no minors.
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!
Didn't get along with my old instructo, changed to Paul and he's helped me pass first time. Would recommend.
Paul has been an fantastic teacher and enjoyable learning with, very reliable too. I recommend Paul to anyone.
Getting to learn with Jon Sears was super easy and fun. He always made me laugh, and as my lessons went on, I became more and more confident.
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!
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 :)
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 was incredibly professional and always patient with me. I can't thank him enough for all of his help and support.
Paul is an excellent instructor very patient and creates a relaxing learning environment also very reliable would highly recommend for any learner drivers

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.
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.
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.
