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

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 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 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!

Great teacher and knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

I would highly recommend having Paul as your instructor. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I have over 10 years of experience driving an automatic, so I had to get over a bit of a hurdle, but I ended up passing the first time. He is also friendly and approachable, which helps calm nerves.

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!

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

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 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.

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

I have ASD and ADHD so I'm unpredictable lol Paul is patient, calm and a good teacher. He never gave up on me even though I think he wanted to and thousands would of. I'll always remember by driving times with. Thank you I bet you won't have another like me lol

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!

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! :)

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!

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.

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

Fantastic instructor, friendly and patient and overall nice guy

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 👌

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

Paul, my driving instructor was amazing with teaching me the controls of the car and building my confidence in driving. He was always so patient and helpful in every aspect of the drive. Thank you!

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

Jon is an amazing driving instructor, taught me everything right from the start, helped me understand the rules of the road and pushed me to my limit and helped me pass my driving test. I highly recommend Jon if you’re looking for an instructor.

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.

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.

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.
