Elliot is an amazing teacher, very patient and positive! You couldn’t find anyone better! I’m only a few lessons in and I’ve already learnt so much. I would 100% recommend him, especially if you are nervous as he is great at building self confidence and is very calm on the road.

Brilliant teacher, becomes a friend more that a teacher, loved being in the car with him

Elliot is a brilliant driving instructor, and has helped me so much, enjoyed my lessons with Elliot, elliot was so comforting the morning of my test, I recommend anyone looking to do driving lessons to do them with elliot he is so patient and helpful his way of teaching is fun.

Being a mature learner, I was extremely nervous about learning to drive. Elliott has a natural ability to make you feel at ease, and his support has been amazing! I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone looking to learn, especially if you are nervous or anxious about doing so. My test is booked, and I can’t thank him enough for his support, knowledge and understanding.

The best driving instructor! Very patient and keeps you relaxed while learning to drive. Always keeps you enjoying driving, while still making sure you do everything as it should be.

Brilliant instructor who made me feel comfortable and kept calm in any situation, best instructor you can find!

Top instructor…really calm and patient…enjoyed doing lessons and never felt pressured…would 100% reccomend

A big thank you to my instructor Elliot and also Drive Johnsons for introducing the best instructor ever. He is very professional, calm and friendly and knows how to make the driving experience stress free which I believe is the key to learning. Being an absolute beginner he helped me build my confidence in no time and made me progress at my own pace. Looking forward to have more lessons and would highly recommend him to anyone who is willing to be a safe, skilled and confident driver.

Great instructor, couldn’t ask for a better one, completely recommend to any. Not only do I learn I enjoy it :)

Couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor within Bury. Always reliable, extremely helpful with learning how to drive, park and other various manoeuvres. Very friendly driving instructor that I could recommend more to learn and drive with.

After a long and tiresome instructor search I think it was a sign finding Elliot… He’s a great instructor and a great person! Elliot’s calm and collected manner really puts me at ease when driving. He truly makes what can seem to be such a daunting experience, an exciting one! Learning to Drive is definitely much more enjoyable now….I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the future. Can’t appreciate his skills enough!!

Elliot helped me a lot learning to drive. Not only he teaches you to pass a test but also teaches you to be a good driver and make the roads a safer place

i am so glad i switched to having elliot as my driving instructor he made me feel confident in my ability to drive, he always talked me through everything we was doing to make sure i felt comfortable and understood, he made me feel safe and made sure i knew he also had control of the car. Couldn't recommend him enough

Elliott was an amazing driving instructor, he was very supportive and helpful from start to finish. I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone looking for driving lessons, hes such a lovely person and has helped me overcome so many fears when driving and gave me the confidence I needed to be able to pass my test!!!

Elliott was a great instructor and helped me to stay calm when I was nervous about manoeuvres. Would recommend him to anyone who is after an instructor.

Really good driving instructors. In a few lessons i feel confidence and comfortable in a car and he makes it simple for anyone to understand with the best demonstration and terminology. 10/10 you will be lucky to be taught by him

Elliot is a brilliant driving instructor. He was patient, friendly, answered any questions that I had and I ended up passing first time! Make sure you book in with him!!

Elliott is the man, he helped me to crush my driving test and to do it with no minors is even more impressive if I do say so myself. Elliott, you are an amazing help and I am so glad to have had you in my corner

Elliot is a life saver!!! My driving instructors car broke down the week before my test. Messaged Elliot and he was happy to help, taught me so much and helped with my nerves before the test. Would highly recommend and worth every penny.

great instructor very supportive and helpful i couldn’t recommend him enough

Honestly the bets driving instructor ever , knew exactly what I needed too do and where too help me , super down to earth and positive all the time , made me feel really comfortable .

Elliott quickly calmed me down and made me stop panicking about driving, I had been with another school before hand but was not feeling confident, then driveJohnson's provided me with Elliott and he changed my perception of driving and enhanced my abilities. Thank you Elliott.

elliot is a great instructor he made me feel really relaxed on the roads and helped me pass first time. he was so understanding and funny and i recommend him.

Before I switched to elliot I had failed 3 tests and decided to switch , in 2 months I passed first time with elliot I would recommend him to everyone

Just passed my driving test with Elliot Lloyd!! Elliot is an amazing patient driving instructor, can't thank him enough for all he has taught me. Would recommend 100%.

Elliott has been teaching my 17 year old son for a few weeks now. My son is very shy and nevous as well has have some SEN needs, but Elliott has made him feel very comfortable. He is patient & friendly with him and makes him feel confident which is something he lacks. I would recommend Elliott to any body looking for an instructor! ⭐️

Elliot was an amazing instructor who helped me massively whilst learning. Always calm and super clear

Amazing instructor, and is always kind and calm whatever the situation. When I first started taking lessons, I had no confidence in driving but now with Elliot I’ve progressed a lot and feel so much more comfortable. He is very clear with instructions whilst supporting your own learning style.

Couldn’t recommend this guy more, really teaches you how to drive not just for a test but for life. He’s the instructor you want!
Put up with all my bull***t too! Top guy

The best instructor I have had. Goes through and explains everything that your struggling with, is always making sure you are confident before moving onto the next thing, friendly and easy to get a along with, highly recommend :)

Elliot is one of the best instructor out there who knows how to teach his students how to drive within few lessons. Not only that he’s very calm and patient with me when I make mistakes in driving and ensures that I don’t repeat it again. He’ll certainly advance your driving skills to ensure that you can easily pass your driving test.?

Elliot has been amazing with me. He is the most patient instructor I have had and he makes lessons enjoyable too. Thank you so much for all your hard work to get me where I am! ?

Quality driving instructor who genuinely makes driving simple and comfortable, absolutely loved learning with Elliot couldn’t recommend him enough

Elliott helped build my confidence and helped me understand important things that helped me pass my test. Was always calm what helped me stay calm on the road.

I cannot recommend Elliott enough as a driving instructor. He has taught all 3 of my children to drive. My son passed first time today. If you are looking for a driving instructor, look no further and make contact with Elliott today.

Elliott is the best instructor around! He makes you feel at ease instantly, really patient and explains in different ways if you don't understand. For someone that had a phobia of driving I now feel confident in the road and prefer being the driver now rather than the passenger and I passed first time with him! Thanks so much!

Elliot is a very good instructor, very clear and in depth with instructions and explanations for me, makes a calm atmosphere in the car for me to learn and focus, easy to talk to and always punctual, flexible and supportive, would recommend to anyone.

Thanks Elliot - passed first time and couldn’t have done it without you. Calm and friendly approach to teaching, can’t recommend highly enough!

Elliott is a great instructor and over the 30 hours he helped me to gain more confidence on the road. I was lucky to have passed first time and with no minors aswell.

Elliot has helped me a lot when it’s come to under How to drive he made it so easy to understand and never rushed me to do anything I don’t want to

Elliott is absolutely amazing, he is so friendly and so helpful, not once did I ever feel uneasy in the car with him, he brought so much confidence to me as a driver and made me see my ability. Couldn’t have made a better choice for an instructor!! Thank you Elliott

A brilliant driving instrustor who takes his time to get to know his students.
He is really easy to get along with, which puts you at ease on every lesson.
When I didn't understand something, Elliott would break it down to make it easier to understand and learn.
I couldn't recommend Elliott anymore!

Was great to learn to drive with both driveJohnson's and Elliott was a great instructor. He helped me to ace my test and to pass both first time and with only one minor.

Made driving simple and fun to learn would highly recommend

EASY 5 star rating for Elliot. Had few instructors before him and didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere till I got in touch with Elliot. My driving improved significantly. First time pass. Only regret is not getting in touch sooner!

Elliot is an outstanding instructor who has helped me over the last few weeks to pass my driving test and I did with ease after all that he had taught me I definitely recommend

Elliott is a really great instructor. He’s really patient and has been able to easily talk me through manoeuvres and has made driving so much easier! Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Test tip of the month for Ramsbottom

Whilst you are learning and sitting in the passenger seat when someone else is driving, pay attention and watch the driver. Watch the road and your driver to see how you would handle certain situations. Seeing how others respond and act will help you with the decision-making in your lessons.

Useful driving test tip for Ramsbottom Show more

Useful driving test tip for Ramsbottom

Examiners are very partial to drivers following too close. Remember on 30mph roads to keep at least six car lengths back from the car in front (if they are doing 30mph). Anything above 40mph, use the 2-second rule! If it is raining, remember that the stopping distance will double.
