Couldn’t recommend Magda enough! She was so patient, and made me feel so at ease!! Thankyou Magda I couldn’t have done it without you. The best of the best x x x

I’m so happy passed first time with no minors all thanks to Magda she is an amazing instructor highly recommended

I had a few instructors before being taught by Magda. She is by far the best instructor i have had. Her relaxed demeanour made it easier to learn and ultimately pass. Thank you so much Magda!

Magda is an amazing instructor, the best I have had. Prior to using her I had two other instructors with whom i had no luck with. But with Magda she was kind and encouraging from the very first lesson till my last. I passed with her and also passed my pass plus with her. I have recommended her to two friends. One has passed the other one is still using her currently and also recommend her to several other people

Before I started learning how to drive, I had heard lots of nightmare stories from my friends and family of how bad some instructors can be.
I can confidently say that I am extremely lucky to have had Magda as my driving instructor.

Her personality is so friendly, kind, smart and funny. I always looked forward to my lessons with Magda as I know each and every lesson I learnt something and would fix my bad habits. She knows how to have a laugh but will definitely be serious when is required.

Her hours are very flexiable and her overall teaching is outstanding. I would and will highly recommend Magda to be your driving instructor. From the first lesson, she will know how capable you are and teach you from there.

It has been a privellage to have been taught by Magda. She is the reason I passed first time with zero minor faults.

I wish her and anyone reading this the best of luck!

Go get 'em!!!

Magda is an amazing instructor. I passed my driving test at first time.

She is knowledgeable, kind and encouraging from the very first lesson till my last one. Throughout my experience with Magda I found it really easy to get along with her. Her welcoming personality made driving enjoyable.

Her lessons covers all testing routes and many other roads inside testing area. Therefore, I have learned and practised all the scenarios that I may encounter in the test and later in my real life. During each lesson, she explained every single mistake and incorrect reaction that I made. We spent every single minute together to improve my driving skill not only for passing a test but also to comprehend a living skill.

Therefore, I feel so lucky to take her enjoyable and efficient driving lessons.

Magda is a great driving instructor, very patient and kind but still pushes you to do better. After having some bad luck with other instructors, I was very lucky to find Magda and pass my test!

Magda is a brilliant teacher, she tackled my nerves and filled me with confidence, would highly recommend any new learners to Magda, thoughroughly enjoyed my time learning how to drive

I had a great experience learning how to drive in the UK with Magda. She’s incredibly patient explaining to me (even if it takes her 10 times to explain😀). A very knowledgeable instructor ! Thanks to Magda who helped me to prepare for my driving test, I passed yesterday and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a skilled and supportive instructor.

Very supportive teacher that helps perfect your driving. Would recommend.

Magda came highly recommended to me by one of my friends and I'm so glad she was my instructor. She's really clear and calm even when you think you're doing everything wrong, and really supportive. I'd definitely recommend her to other people; I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons.

I had to go through 2 instructors and still wasn’t very confident but Magdalena explained things in a different way I would understand and I became comfortable with driving which what helped me pass my test .

Experienced trainer with good training skills and confident level.
I got passed in my first test with only three minor points.
Highly recommended for every one seeking get trained.

An amazing teacher who is lovely to talk with and puts you at ease. Passed first time with only a few months practise. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I've had several driving instructors over the years and Magda was the best! Magda is calm and patient and relaxes her students by being funny and chatty, but is also fair and reasonable when giving criticism and feedback. I don't think I would have passed my test without Magda, she is brilliant. Thank you Magda!

Magda is amazing, she helped me throughout my journey, she is patient, very knowledgeable about driving rules and I will recommend Magda. She is class.

Great instructor, takes time with students and has good results

Thank you SO much Magda!! Made me feel so comfortable and helped me focus on my mistakes. Really supportive and just a great driving instructor. Would definitely recommend :)

Highly reccomend Magda! The moment I changed instructors I was making much greater and faster progress. Magda is encouraging, funny and makes you feel comfortable. A great teacher and I can't thank her enough

Magda was an amazing instructor. I had previously had a bad experience with a driving school however Magda gave my confidence and kept me motivated to pass my test. She is a lovely person and so easy to get along wth which makes your driving lessons fun!
She is reliable, experienced, approachable, knowledgeable and organised. I had a busy schedule with university and placement however she was flexible and accommodated my needs which still lead to me passing my test first time!

Would recommend her!

Thank you everything Magda x x

I just had my driving test and passed with 1 minor. I have been driving with Magda for months and she has taught me everything I needed to know. She is calm when instructing and if improvement is needed, she will thoroughly explain to you which left no room for repetition. She is an asset

Learning Rob was one of the easiest experiences ever. Even when I started and I couldn't drive in the slightest he helped me to figure out the best way to drive and taught me the way that worked best for me. Thank you Rob you smashed it

She’s very patient and helps you work on your weak areas. Couldn’t have passed without her and am really thankful that i was able to pass my first test with only 2 minors! Definitely recommend her as a driving instructor as she always does her best to help

Magda is THE best instructor , she’s patient and works at your own pace , she’s the most understanding and helps you build confidence with all aspects of driving. If you want to pass confidently and quickly, definitely chose Magda as your instructor.

Magda is a fantastic driving instructor i couldn't of asked for better! would never of had the courage to book my test as quick as i did without her encouragement!

One of the kindest ladies ive met! She knew exactly what i needed to go over each lesson and took me on nearly all test routes!

So grateful for everything she done.

Honestly, the most caring, patient driving instructor ever! She alway explained things in easiest way possible and never gave up on me even when I started to myself! Honestly the most amazing instructor! Will be missed x

I passed first time. Magda was an excellent instructor and I can’t thank her enough. She was very patient and a very clear communicator when giving instructions and advice. She also made me feel very relaxed in the lessons and before my test. I can’t thank her enough once again. All the best and thank you very much Magda.

Honestly the best instructor I could have asked for! Magda is one of the loveliest people I’ve met and was always so patient on my lessons. I’ll definitely miss all the stories she told in my lessons!

Magda is a very good instructor. She was very friendly and calm. She helped me a lot when I was stressed. I couldn't have passed without her! I was lucky to have her as my instructor.

Magda is absolutely brilliant!!! She helped me pass first time after only three months of lessons. Could not have asked for a better instuctor and I am so thankful to have had Magda. She has an amazing personality, which makes learning to drive fun and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend her, thank you.

Don't even know where to start from all I can say is thank you Magda. She have taught me to be a confident, patient and safe driver. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to drive responsibly and Safe. Many thanks Magda.

By far one of the best people i have met when it comes to driving lessons. Magda helped me tremendously. Her patience, calm and professional way of teaching me how to drive are the reasons why i managed to pass my test with only two minors. Now, don’t imagine the lessons are not going to have their part of banter, for she also has a lovely sense of humour that easily makes you feel comfortable whilst you are driving with her. It's the perfect blend of professionalism and calm and relaxed. I cannot recommend her enough.

Was told she is the best in Northampton when first ringing up and she did not let down. Went from not being confident in my driving to passing first time. Brilliant teacher 100% would recommend

Magda was super fantastic, patient and supportive, she made me feel confident on the road. Thanks to her I passed my driving test first time with only 1 minor! Highly recommended!

Rob Thomas is terrific he is a fantastic instructor and one of the nicest people I have ever met, if you are learning to drive in Rushden then make sure you learn with Rob

Magdalena is the best instructor you could have. She help me a lot to get my driving license and I will suggest her to all my friends and family that want to get the driving license.
Thank you.

Magda is an amazing teacher. She is very meticulous in her driving instructions. She ensured that I was a safe driver and helped me to prepare for any situations that occur on the roads. Me and 4 of my friends passed our driving test with Magda. Highly recommended!

Test tip of the month for Wellingborough

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 Wellingborough Show more

Useful driving test tip for Wellingborough

When overtaking cyclists on faster roads, consider leaving more space than the minimum (1 metre). Apply the MSPSL routine nice and early, signal in good time and anticipate any unusual sudden movements by the cyclist. If they are looking over their shoulder, they might be thinking about changing direction.

Frequently asked questions...

Where do beginners start their driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Learners coming to us at the complete beginner stage will often start their driving lessons off in residential or industrial areas, away from busy main roads where there's lots of traffic. One of these areas is the Finedon Road Industrial Estate where there are quite a few long, straight and wide roads to pick up the basics of getting the car going and stopping again. With lots of side roads to turn into, there is plenty of opportunity to progress onto left and right turns as well as T-junctions.

Where do I do my lessons if I already have experience?

More experienced learner drivers with a few hours under their belts, may find themselves tackling some of the test routes in Wellingborough, including the 60mph A509, involving a number of medium to large roundabouts and junctions. You may also head into the centre of Wellingborough, where you could face a number of one-way streets and busier traffic.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about though. Our experienced driving instructors will cover all of this in depth with you to ensure you're comfortable and ready to conquer all types of road and junctions.

Does Wellingborough have a driving test centre?

Yes, Wellingborough does have a driving test centre, and you will likely take your driving test here. Our driving instructors in Wellingborough are test route experts so they can help you pass quickly and confidently.

Recently, learners have found it increasingly difficult to find a driving test at the Wellingborough test centre. However, you can usually find a driving test in Kettering. If you are still trying to get a test in Wellingborough, then Kettering is a great location to take your test as our instructors can take you for your test here, but they can also help you learn the routes and roads beforehand.

Can I have automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough?

Yes, you can. We offer both manual and automatic driving lessons in Wellingborough. You can choose to jump straight into automatic lessons or you can start with manual and switch at any point if you decide that manual isn't for you.
