Amazing instructor, very patient and very understanding. Excellent communication skills, highly recommended, treats you like a normal driver and a great teacher.

Paul is an excellent all-round driving instructor who has been fundamental in helping me understand all principles of driving thus enabling to acquire the skills to pass my test. He is able to cater to the strengths and needs of any learner, whilst simultaneously aiding them in overcoming their weaknesses. Throughout my time learning, he continuously showed great levels of enthusiasm and understanding. Whenever a problem arose, he always offered a multitude of solutions which evidently illustrates great knowledge and passion for his profession. Therefore, I highly recommend Paul as an instructor to any learner with any level of experience.

Paul is a great instructor he is great with helping you with your nerves full of great information and strategies to help you learn he had me test ready in no time and today I passed my test 1st time I highly recommend Paul as a driving instructor

I had my first driving lesson with Paul on Friday &he was absolutely amazing! Let's just say already I feel confident to drive a car. Glad I chose him now.

Amazing. I was very nervous - first lesson done now! Paul helped me lots...making me feel relaxed and talking me through everying I needed to know. He is very exprienced and Im looking to kearning lots more .Happy to say I'm sticking with Paul next lesson tomorrow. Thank you Paul.

Paul is a great driving instructor, he understands, listens and is very patient. I have adhd so he adapted the way he teaches to help me learn and understand. He will definitely make sure that you drive without fault and that you understand the reasons why you can't do certain things. With his great deal of experience he is able to tackle any hurdle and knows exactly what to do in certain situations. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone with nerves and anxiety when it comes to driving.

Very knowledgeable teacher, I learnt more in one lesson with Paul than I have learnt in 10 lessons with my previous instructor. Very calm and positive even while stalling the car a lot in my first lesson. Very professional and friendly, would recommend.

I finally passed my test and all the credits go to Paul!! He's honestly an informative, patient, calm and encouraging instructor who really gives 100% in teaching his lessons. Would definitely recommend!

There are many types of driving instructor, you can get cubic zirconia or you can get diamond. Paul is a diamond! I took my first step back into driving after an absence of 25 years, extremely nervous and having never really had much confidence in the first place. With low expectations I have learned so many techniques in my first refresher lesson I can’t believe it. I expected to drive round an industrial estate for hours tbh. I have learned how to parallel park, park in a bay at Sainsbury’s and drive in busy traffic in just two hours. I still have some relearning but also learning to do as my past instructors never got me in and out of the car looking at where I’ve just put the car and importantly why and how. I never really understood why some things I did worked and some didn’t, I’m getting to see the theory of it which is what I personally need to feel happier behind the wheel. Paul says he will teach you what you need to learn to drive for life not to get through a driving test and I totally believe it. I only wish he’d been able to teach me those years ago. Certainly does what he says on the tin! And anybody lacking in confidence or skills would benefit from some time with him.

Paul is a great driving instructor, after having my first lesson with a new instructor since 7 years ago i feel like im learning at a pace that tests my driving skills to better them. Paul is better than other instructors ive had and utilises the time i have on lessons so i feel like i get the most of my lessons. Very friendly and encouraging, looking forward to my next lesson :) would highly recommend

I passed my test. I really thanks for Paul guiding. He is an excellent driving instructor. He’s very professional, patience and he taught me a lot of useful knowledge of driving. I am highly recommended to anyone who needs a professional and amazing driving instructor.

Great instructor, safe, helpful and friendly. Prepared me well for my test pass today, 100% reccomend.

Paul is great instructor who is very good at explaining everything clearly and effectively. Gained a lot of tips on how to move off and keep the car in a good position. He offers a range of learning styles to fit students and overall a great instructor.
Can’t wait for the next lesson!

Really great teacher! I passed my test first time with an accelerated course given by Paul, and my brother a sister also passed with him. Thank you Paul!

Very professional, friendly, patient and helpful instructor! As an anxious driver starting up lessons again after over a year off, Paul has helped me to become a lot calmer and more confident on the road by explaining clearly and reassuringly why a mistake happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I felt comfortable on my lessons very quickly and that I could ask any questions and recieve well-informed, well educated answers and solutions to tackle problems.

I particularly like how he asks you what your goals are each lesson and what you hope to achieve, so the focus is on you and your progression and not just doing the same thing over and over every lesson. Paul is fantastic compared to previous instructors I've had and genuinely seems to care about helping you to become the best driver you can be. He's gone above and beyond and he's definitely up there with the best. I would absolutely 100% recommend to future learners, Thank you!

Excellent driving instructor the sheer patience and approach to students with special educational needs was outstanding
Many thanks

Paul is a very professional, friendly, patient and helpful. Had my first lesson with him and i feel so confident, I've learnt alot on my first lesson, I like more his methods, his explanation. Look forward to the next lesson with him. I would 100% recommend Paul

Enjoyed my first lesson after 30 years. Friendly, patient instructor. Would definitely recommend if you feel nervous like I did

My son passed his test today 23/01/24 with the skills offered and shared by Paul.
Moving to Paul was the best decision we ever made... the guidance he has given our son has been outstanding.
Thanks Paul.👏👏

Brilliant first lesson. Really happy to have Paul as an instructor, he made me feel confident and comfortable while driving. Would definitely recommend

Brill first lesson highly recommend! Very patient and professional ??

I PASSED FIRST TIME ONE MINOR!! With being such a nervous driver, Paul helped me in so many different ways to get me where I am today, not only did Paul help me with my driving mindset, it’s helped me in my day to day life, with the help of some brilliant apps, books, and genuinely just his support behind the wheel. I’ll never ever forget my experience of learning how to drive. I’ll forever be grateful for all the help and support. The best driving instructor out there!!! Thankyou!!!

Paul is a great instructor who makes you feel at ease from the start. I was a bit anxious when I started my lessons but with his calm attitude after a couple of lessons i felt so much more confident. Would highly recommend! Passed my test with 3 minors today!!

Enjoyed my first driving lesson and gained more confidence. Thank you Paul. Can't wait for the next lesson.

Great Instructor! Passed first time round and couldn’t be happier with the service he provides. Very infomative and was great every lesson. I would recommend to anyone.

So you can teach an 'old dog new tricks', or Paul can! I was very nervous about learning to drive and Paul put me at my ease with his calm, unflappable manner. This is because he helped me to believe in myself and find the virtuous circle, not the vicious. He can help you too because he gets to know and understands how to help you best and if you need to stop and reset yourself after a mistake or two, he let's you. I passed my test first time with only one minor fault.

First time pass with Paul!! He's such a patient and calm instructor. I tried a few different instructors before I found Paul and I'm so glad I did. His teaching style is calming, so if you're anxious about getting behind the wheel he is a good choice for you. He always encourages you to be reflective at the end of a lesson, thinking about what went well and what you can focus on to improve next lesson. Paul has really high standards for his students, which was actually such a good thing because he would warn me about lots of smaller errors that perhaps other instructors dont draw attention to and it meant I found the test easy. Never thought I'd say that!! Don't hesitate- get in touch with Paul!

Paul is a fantastic instructor and I cant thank him enough for helping me pass in first attempt! He was extremely calm and patient with me throughout the training period, provided me the right guidance and inputs. He helped me manage my nerves and to remain confident. I would define recommend Paul if you looking for someone who will provide you the right inputs and set you up for success!

I fully recommend Paul as an instructor to anyone. He is absolutely amazing! I had my driving test today and i was a little nervous, but he ran me through how the morning would look and made me feel at ease with his jokes. As a result of Paul's amazing skills and patience, I was able to pass my practical test FIRST TIME! He is an amazing instuctor and i couldn't have asked for anyone better to help me learn to drive - Thank u so much Paul :)

Paul helps you build your confidence with driving and is always very helpful and patient.

I recently had my first driving lesson with Paul, and he was fantastic. He was able to keep me calm during moments of hesitation, and his explanations of manoeuvres are clear and concise without being condescending.
Thank you for a great first lesson, Paul.

Paul is an fantastic driving instructor who helped me pass my test on the first attempt, starting from very little experience. He was incredibly patient, explained everything clearly, and provided helpful resources that made learning much easier. I really enjoyed my lessons, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor!

I started with paul from scratch. I didn't have the first idea about driving. I failed twice due to nerves but passed third time with zero faults. Paul was a massive help. Not only did he fit in extra sessions but he helped me believe in myself. So thankful.

Brilliant instructor. Easy to work with. Helped me massively with building my skills and confidence on the roads. Could not have had a better instructor.

Just passed my manual driving test and could not have done it without Pauls help and guidance. His lessons were always strategic and well planned. He was quick in identifying which areas i was struggling with, and would then cater the lessons to better support my driving. He instructs in a professional manner and is always punctual. Paul helped me pass with minimal faults and I would definitely recommend him
im to family and friends!

I had my first ever lesson with Paul the other day and the amount of progress I achieved was unbelievable, I was only expecting to be doing a few manoeuvres on an empty piece of land somewhere but I did so much more such as parking, turning on a roundabout and driving lots, I had a few nerves at the start but they soon passed when I was in the drivers seat being reassured by Paul, he put me at rest and helped me immensely, I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to drive, especially first timers!

Yesterday we had 1st lesson ?Paul is really knows his job, he is very patient and will explain you as many times as you need. Can't wait for next lesson ?

I started my driving lessons with Pual from August. I have just past my test on Friday on my first attempt.Pual is a very reliable instructor, he always points out all my mistakes through my driving at the same time he gives me the confidence I need too. I highly recommend Pual to be your next driving instructor.

Great Instructor

After a month away from driving,i felt really assured after taking driving lessons with Paul.

I really wanted to know where i am with my driving and the kind of progress i had made and that was made very clear to me. Great instructor, explains everything well as well as being very supportive when u encounter obstacles. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

WOWZER what a lesson I had with Paul today I never New I could drive like that ... or even Reverse Parking still I have much to learn and very much excited to enjoy more lessons

I used Paul Reilly with Drive Johnson’s. Having previously had lessons outside the company, coming to drive Johnson’s was definitely for the better! From no experience with cars whatsoever, I now feel comfortable behind the wheel and passes my test first time. Paul is a great instructor, professional and tailors your learning to suit you. I would recommend Drive Johnson’s and Paul Reilly!

Top driving instructor. I had a fabulous driving lesson today with Paul. He made me feel very confident whilst driving. I highly recommend him. Thank you so much.

Excellent instructor, first lesson today and learnt a whole lot of new things that will contribute to perfecting my driving.
Can’t wsit for my future lessons
Khairiyah .

I was incredibly anxious to learn to drive and did not expect to be manouvering around busy roads within the first hour! Paul is a fantastic teacher who made me feel capable and confident, with his calm manner and explaining everything with great clarity. If you are considering driving lessons then I highly recommend that you book a lesson with Paul = ]

Amazing first lesson with Paul. I’ve learnt more in this 1 lesson than I have in the 16 I had before. I feel confident calm and in control learning with Paul and I’m 100% sure I will pass after receiving his instruction. I’m not only learning how to pass my driving test I’m learning how to keep myself safe once I am driving in everyday life. Couldnt be more happy !!!

I came to paul after being treated badly by another instructor so i was obviously sceptical about finding another but paul was amazing from our first lesson he kept me feeling rest assured he wasnt just here for my money he took time in showing me things my old instructor never did! I learnt a lot in the few lessons i did with him. Also when ever i was feeling like i couldnt do somthing he’d tell me i could and believed in me.. and today i passed my driving test!! And its all thanks to paul. Absolutely amazing guy so funny and so calming and genuine. HIGHLY recommend ????

Had my first lesson with Paul after having failed 1 test with a different instructor around a year ago. Paul very quickly identified what I needed work on and made suggestions which made an immediate improvement on my driving. Look forward to passing my test with him - cheers mate??

Had my first block of lessons with Paul yesterday, learnt an unbelievable amount. Friendly and doesn’t put the pressure on at all, let’s you learn at your own pace but is constantly trying to help you learn. If you need an instructor, this is the man!

Paul is amazing, I bought vouchers for a block course of driving lessons as a present for my nephews 21st, he was responsive and happy to answer any questions I had and sent vouchers in super fast time! My nephew is loving his lessons and making great progress, Paul has gone above and beyond sending me progress reports via text which I think is lovely! He super professional and if anyone is thinking of buying vouchers as a special Christmas present I would strongly recommend Paul, you won’t regret it!

Paul is a very good instructor, made me feel calm and confident, I passed my test first time so just proves how good a instructor he is.

Test tip of the month for Oadby

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.

Useful driving test tip for Oadby Show more

Useful driving test tip for Oadby

A classic question is: what happens if you go the wrong way on your test? The answer is not a lot. Just try to do it safely and you will be fine. Many learners will swerve at short notice, realising they are in the wrong lane and fail for the changing lanes part. If the examiner can see you have time to get into the correct lane, they may repeat the instruction or use hand signals. They won't repeat or re-enforce the direction if it isn't safe or there isn't enough time. You will not receive a driving fault for safely going in the wrong direction on your test.
