Recently passed my test with Paul’s help. He is a fantastic teacher and very patient and supportive. He was so friendly, calm and encouraging in all my lessons. I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor.

driveJohnson's have hit the jackpot by having Paul Benjamin as a driving instructor. He is an incredible instructor, and he helped me to learn at my own pace. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Recently passed with Paul.

What a fantastic instructor. He is friendly, comforting, attentive and accurate in his tuition.

I would recommend Paul to anyone.

Paul Benjamin is a great instructor, and he was able to challenge me but not place me under any unnecessary pressure. It was an all-around fantastic experience, and I can't thank you enough.

Recently passed with Paul! :-)
Great instructor, supportive and definitely had patience of a saint! Haha..
Would highly recommend him to anybody wanting to learn to drive. He was friendly, encouraging, and definitely gave me the confidence boost I needed! Will be forever greatful! I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

If you are looking to pass fast, then make sure you learn with Paul. It was a great experience, and I loved every second. If you need lessons, learn to drive with Paul at driveJohnson's.

Just passed with Paul, only 2 minors! Fantastic instructor, great punctuality, patience and action plan for each lesson. Would recommend to anyone hoping to get behind the wheel!

Paul knows what he’s talking about and cares about your progress. He is a fantastic instructor and has a tremendous attitude.

Recently passed with Paul just after a few lessons, he's really committed to making his students get the best of training not just to pass the test but make them good drivers after...He's excellent with boosting your confidence. I'll always be grateful to Paul

Paul is an absolutely fantastic instructor.

He is punctual and calm, and makes every lesson worth your time. He simplifies driving methods, especially parking. His approach is person-oriented and each lesson had a focus based on my progress. He boosts your confidence in driving. Although he observes every error, he corrects them patiently and I think this makes passing the test easier.

Paul had two students take the test this week and we both passed!
He definitely comes highly recommended.

When it came to learning with driveJohnson's, it was terrific to see that they have instructors like Paul. He was so welcoming and made learning to drive incredibly easy. Thank you so much for all of your help.

I had a phenomenal time learning to drive with Paul. If you need an instructor, then make sure you learn with Paul.

Paul is the first instructor I’ve clicked with. He’s been brilliant in his manner and teaching, and his constructive advice means I’ve learnt quickly, and stress-free.

He’s calm and can even have a laugh as we go, and always turns up on time with communication always being open.

Paul is a great instructor, he helped me build confidence on the road. He was very good at teaching the parking manoeuvres and gave very clear instructions. I would highly recommend.

When it came to learning to drive near Stoke-on-Trent, I saw a lot of potential driving schools. However, I am so happy that I choose to go with driveJohnson's and Paul. It was a fantastic experience, and it was super easy to learn to drive with him.

Wonderful, kind and patient instructor! From the first lesson Paul made me feel comfortable and is always encouraging!

Test tip of the month for Stoke-on-Trent

When waiting at a roundabout, your danger obviously comes from the right, but keep your head agile and keep glancing ahead too. Look out for that car, van or lorry going ahead that is going to block your right and allow you to go.

Useful driving test tip for Stoke-on-Trent Show more

Useful driving test tip for Stoke-on-Trent

If you get a bay park, it will most likely be at the test centre. It will happen at the beginning or end of your test. As it’s in the test centre, expect other cars to be around you, leaving or entering the test centre. Be sure to stop for anyone approaching. Look at them and make eye contact. If the space is there for them to go around you, they probably will. If they don’t, reset your 360 observation and finish the manoeuvre. Don’t rush it – keep the observations high and speed slow.
