Thank you very much Magdalena. You are a very good instructor and a wonderful person. I recommend 100%. I took the exam the first time and had 2 minor mistakes. 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!

From the very first day, Magdalena was very calm and gentle but intentional about her tutoring. She was very patient and never failed to encourage me with phrases like 'good job" "well done" and when I didn't do so well she corrected me with love and respect.
Today her excellent teaching paid off and I am a qualified driver.
Thank you Magdalena!
I strongly recommend Magdalena 👍

Magda is an absolutely amazing person and instructor. After having a few bad experiences with other driving instructors, I'm so glad I found her through a friends' recommendation. She's patient, super friendly, very easy to talk to and is great at what she does. She always has great time management and replied fast if I needed to book in some lessons leading up to a test. She was always honest with how she felt about my driving skills, which I loved - as I'd rather someone tell me I could do better and improve on certain things than falsely sing praises all the time to make me feel better. I'm sad I won't get to drive with her anymore now that I've passed, but I'm so grateful for everything she taught me and for all the laughs we had. HIGHLY recommend her, you'd be silly not to go with her really.
Thank you so much Magda and all the best to you! (Baaaaahhhh ;) )

Thank you Magda for my enjoyable lessons and building my confidence in driving. Felt at ease and comfortable from day one!

Thank you Rob for all your help and effort .You are a great teacher.Eventhough I had problems with my clutch control and braking,you took great effort to correct all my mistakes,boosted my confidence,so that I could pass my test in the first time.You were always calm and corrected my eventhough I repeated the same mistakes.You are such a fabulous instructor.I have already recommended you to all my friends who are planning to learn drive.Thank you sooo much.

Magda is great, very calm and never far away from a smile. Passed 1st time and round all thanks to her knowledge and guidance.
I would recommend her to all.

Magda is so kind and patient. I’m so grateful that I got her as my instructor and would give more than 5 stars if I could! She made me feel more confident in driving as well as prepared for the test day. Everyone needs a Magda in their life.

Really impressed with Rob's driving lessons. He's a really nice guy and a great teacher. Cheers Rob.

Passed first time after 5 months of lessons! Magda was great!

Magda is a very knowledgeable and kind instructor. In 3 months I learnt to drive manual and passed with very few minors. I would highly recommend her!

Dear Magda
Thank you so much for your help and endless support in getting my licence.
With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my fairs. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured, and I really appreciated your encouragement.

As well as having a very professional attitude, you are also a very caring person and I will miss all the laughs we shared.

I will recommend you to anyone who is interested in learning to drive. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you, and I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me!
You are wonderful person, a talented teacher and a caring person
All the best for the future.
Regards Aija

Just want to say huge THANK YOU Magda for your patience, hard work and a constant cheerful mood. Thank you for praising my success and telling me off my mistakes. Thank you for not giving up on me and for being a wonderful person, attentive and patient driving instructor and just a good friend that you have become to me!

I could not recommend anyone better than Magda when you're learning to drive. After experimenting with three different instructors, I finally found myself someone with patience, positivity, commitment and most importantly perseverance. Admittedly I get extremely nervous, but magdas presence always put me at ease! One of the nicest/ funniest ladies who helped me to thoroughly enjoy driving after three failed attempts. She's great!

Magda is a great instructor! She helped me pass my test first time with NO minors!! Her style of teaching is great and she’s really helped build my confidence on the road. I would recommend her to anyone, thank you again. :)

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!

Magdalena is great teacher. She made me very relaxed and helped me regain my confidence in driving. She has great banter and overall I really enjoyed my lessons.

Magda is very calm and patient. She is also very clear and through in her instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for driving instructor.

Magda is amazing! She is so kind and friendly and she helped me to overcome my nerves when driving. I was so happy when I passed! ?

Magdalena has been very helpful and so patient.
Her feedback on every driving lesson was impactful and helpful. Thanks to her I passed my driving test on the first time.
Honestly she’s the best driving instructor .

Magda is a fantastic instructor, who helps you constantly improve every lesson. No matter how many mistakes I made she stayed patient till I mastered that thing she worked on with me. I am very happy with her services.

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

Highly recommend, passed first time in just a few months. I felt very at ease as she created a very calm and encouraging atmosphere. Her instructions were also very clear.

Magda is a great driving instructor, very patient, reliable and flexible. I passed first time with her help and I would 100% recommend her to others!

I finally passed my test and it’s all thanks to Magda. She has been an amazing instructor, helped me to get confidence as a driver and gave me the best support I could wish for. All my lessons weren’t only useful but fun and relaxed as well, I enjoyed every single one of them.
P.S Magda, sorry for everything your car went trough I promise I will get better. :)))

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 honestly is the best instructor ever, she teaches you how to do everything very well and fast too. She’s a very friendly person and has been extremely supportive throughout the time i’ve been driving with her. She always boosts my confidence when i’m driving and she gives me tips on how I can do better and that’s how I passed!! I don’t think I could’ve got a better instructor!

Magda is a very good instructor and helps you every step of the way. No complaints!

From the first lesson right until my test day Magda has been incredibly supportive and was able to teach me in a clear and simple way. Throughout all the lessons she was patient and calm and helped put me at ease whilst learning. Thank you so much Magda!! Youre an incredible instructor and I will recommend you to anyone I know who wants to learn how to drive. I passed first time and it was really down to how Madga taught me.

Magda is an amazing driving instructor, she is very understanding and patient. She helps build confidence and helps to improve on anything you’re not sure on. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to do lessons.

I feel very privileged to have been taught by Magda. She was my second instructor and was fantastic at building my confidence. A brilliant instructor and a wonderful person. I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me.

Rob is an amazing instructor and thanks to his excellent teaching I managed to pass my test on my first attempt.

Rob was fantastic and really helped me get to where I needed to be with ease, I was really struggling with parallel parking and it wasn't until he broke it down to the bare minimum that it finally clicked. Now I am an expert and it is all thanks to Rob

Great instructor, takes time with students and has good results

I want to thank Magda one more time, and I’d say I’m really lucky I had such good instructor as she is. Magda is really patient and caring about her students. I was so nervous while driving, but she could find the way to calm me down all the time. Definitely I’ll recommend Magda to everyone who’s looking for driving instructor, because she’s the best one?

Magda is such a kind hearted woman. Very informative and calm, gives you the confidence you need to be safe on the roads . Makes lessons fun and enjoyable . PASSED FIRST TIME!!!

Magda is the best instructor you can ever have. Not only is she is knowledgeable and patient, she actually cares about her student’s progress. I am more than happy recommending her to family and friends. She’s an absolute star!

Fantastic instructor. She helped me build my confidence and helped me become a strong independent driver. I would highly recommend her.

I learned to drive with Magda over a four month period and whilst learning to drive can be really stressful, Magda makes it fun and enjoyable whilst ensuring you learn the right way to be a good driver. I would highly recommend her work, Adem.

Magda is a fantastic instructor she was patient and encouraging which helped me build my confidence on the road. Thankyou

Magda was such an amazing and relaxed driving instructor! I only had a handful of lessons and she coached me all the way! She is down to earth and made me feel so at ease with driving! Correcting me in ways to make me still feel good. Really enjoyed our lessons and will miss them, highly recommend!

Last week I did something I never thought I would be able to do: I passed my driving test. At first attempt!

I had a few instructors before, but I made very little progress and decided driving was not for me just over three years ago. But in October 2016 I decided to give it another go. This is when I met Magda.

Because of her friendly character, her patience and positive attitude my lessons quickly turned from daunting to enjoyable. Where previous instructors would have a go at me for doing something wrong, Magda would handle my mistakes (and believe me, I’ve made a few!) with humour and patience. She would always stay calm and explain to me why it went wrong, rather than tell me off for it. Even if it meant explaining the same thing over and over again.

She is very flexible and accommodating when it comes to the lessons. If I needed to be picked up somewhere else, or finished my lesson somewhere else, I just needed to text and it was never a problem.

If you are like me and getting your driving licence seems like a mission impossible, I would 100% recommend Magda. A+ from me!

Thank you Magda and all the best!

Rob really helped me overcome my nerves. On my first lesson I kept stalling, but after a few lessons he helped me get over the clutch control and helped me pass my test really fast.
 
I recommend to anyone.

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

Madga's teaching style is very relaxed. She always made me feel comfortable and not stressed.

Magda is an amazing and patient driving instructor. I had been practicing with Magda for around 22 hours and that helped me to pass my driving test today in Northampton. I had only 1 minor. Do not give up because with Magda you will keep getting better when you put the right effort.

Magda has been an amazing instructor. I have autism and have struggled with learning to drive at times but Magda has been very patient. She made sure I was ready for my test and I passed first time!

Fantastic instructor. I passed 1st time with only 8 lessons.

Where do I even start. From the beginning, Magda was so friendly and bubbly, which made me so comfortable. I came to Magda with several previous negative experiences with instructors and having her was a breath of fresh air. Magda is simply made for this role. From clear explanations to correcting any major fault, Magda does it all. Most importantly she does this without degrading you or making you feel incompetent. Thank you again !

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

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. We have some fantastic manual and automatic driving instructors in Wellingborough who will help you pass fast either way!
