Amazing instructor, very patient and very understanding. Excellent communication skills, highly recommend to everyone. Great teacher motivates you and makes you feel confident.

Sunil is an absolutely amazing driving instructor who I recommend highly to anyone! I can’t thank him enough for always believing in me and having faith in my driving skills even when I didn’t believe in myself. He’s very encouraging and always helps you learn from your mistakes and he really helped me build my driving confidence. Aside from that he makes every lesson so fun and enjoyable and is such a funny and friendly character so I was always excited for each lesson with him as opposed to being nervous. Thank you so much Sunil!

I really appreciate your great strategies on driving training.
I felt comfortable and my driving confidence was boosted.
Am happy having you as my tutor.
Thank you.

He is the best at making you get the right track towards your achievements.
He will make get positive goals towards success.
Inshort he is best to learn with.

Paul is an amazing driving instructor very reassuring and calming as a nervous learner. Easy to talk to and helped pass first time with just 5 minors despite being a bag of nerves

Paul has been very helpful and supportive.
I passed my test first time and couldn’t have done it without him!
I would highly recommend Paul, as he takes your learning seriously and helps to build your confidence with driving.
Thank you soooo much!!

Had my first lesson with paul, very comfortable and very informative and highlighted my weakness's really quickly and also started to change those weakness's into strengths very quickly to, excellent lesson from a excellent instructor.....can't wait for the next one..

After my first lesson, Paul had already made me feel more comfortable within driving than my previous instructor who I had for quite some time. I felt as though I achieved quite a lot within a 2 hour lesson and I am very excited for the rest of my learning journey with Paul.

I had my first lesson and i found him really patient, informative, friendly and smart. He explains everything logically and spots quickly where you are struggling. He corrects your mistake nicely without making you anxious and explains you of the rules you should respect even if you make the same mistake several times. Definitely recommended for everyone.

Paul is an extremely professional, patient, empathic and friendly instructor. I had my first lesson with him today and his way of teaching made me feel very calm but confident at the same time . He gave constructive feedback throughout the lesson and then asked me what i'd like to cover on the next lesson. Cant recommend Paul enough!

Paul is a fab instructor, he is great for when your nervous, and is a really friendly guy. Personally so happy to have passed first time, and so gratefully to him!!! Thank you Paul!

As a nervous passenger and even more nervous driver, Paul was patient with me and put me at ease on my first lesson. Would highly recommend! I'm actually excited about progressing and looking forward to another lesson.

The best lesson I've had. Really informative and supportive. Very encouraging. He was patient with me and helped me evaluate my strengths and weaknesses so we could work on targets for improvement. I can see myself making so much progress with Paul. After a year + of not doing lessons he really helped me ease back into it and recap my knowledge with neat tips and tricks to remember things.

I really enjoyed my 1st lesson with Paul, he made me feel relaxed and at ease, i can't wait for my next lesson, thank you so much Paul

Massive thanks for sunil helping me get test ready and pass first time! Always had a great chat with him during the lessons and he made it engaging. Every time I slipped up he always made sure that I pick up on my mistakes whilst also making it fun and informative so I brush up and remember important pointers ready for the big test day.

Would definitely recommend him as a driving instructor, very welcoming and encouraging down to the very end. 10/10 !

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 :)

When I first got in touch with drive Johnsons they gave me a start date and told me an instructor would be in contact a few days before my first lesson but the same day I had a message from Paul and he was able to bring my start date forward by 2 weeks! Paul is a great instructor who lets you take control of your own learning and is able to adapt his teaching strategies in which suits you best. He is not only a really patient instructor but he is also easy to get on with and quickly makes you feel at ease and builds your confidence. Couldn’t thank Paul enough for his support and help! I passed my test first time! Highly recommend! Thanks Paul!

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 test today, Paul has been amazing! He has been very patient with me and has provided me all the tools and websites I needed for tips for controlling my nerves and what to expect for my test. I would definitely recommend him he is very kind and understanding when a mistake is made and will help and explain how to improve my driving in a way that suits my learning style. Thank you again Paul! ☺️

Brought back my confidence after previous instructors and brought quick progress from my first lesson.

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

Great instructor

He provided very thorough descriptions on how to help improve with manoeuvres and was very helpful in showing adjustments that needed to be made to general driving.

Today I had my first driving lesson with Paul and it was amazing! He was very calm and helped to explain aspects of driving that I didn’t know or understand at all before the lesson. I felt very comfortable and confident driving with him although I’ve heard little to no experience and I would definitely recommend him!

I had my first lesson with Paul today and it was a great experience. He thoroughly explained what I had to do and even demonstrated it so I had an idea of what to do. I felt calmer once the lesson started and I am looking forward to future lessons

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!

Sunil was an amazing instructor. He helped me so much and was polite and provided encouragement when I needed aswell as showing lots of patience.He taught me how to drive safely.I’ve now passed my test first try and am very grateful to Sunil. I highly recommend him to people.

I passed first time with Sunil. He is so calm and collected, he always choses the right time to explain how to fix a mistake you’ve made. We got along well from the first lesson - I couldn’t have picked a better driving instructor!

Had my first session with Paul today and it went very well , the lesson went smoothly I felt really comfortable . I’m very confident that I’m going to have a chance ay passing my test in time .

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

Excellent instructor, his Driving lessons helps you improve as you need, be a better driver and of course pass your driving test with ease. I would highly recommend you call him if you want to be a better driver.

Amazing instructor, anyone who chooses to learn with Paul will not regret it,would highly recommend to anyone,weather it be improving your driving or learning to drive, Paul is the man for the job!

Sunil is an amazing instructor. Always had confidence in me when I didn’t have any myself. He didn’t have any doubts in me passing my test first time and I did pass first time. I have and would definitely recommend Sunil to anyone wanting to drive. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Sunil is a professional, friendly instructor, with clear communication and excellent teaching skills.

I originally started in Milton Keynes which is where I live. I'd completed about 25 lessons so I was ready to book my test. Only problem is that everywhere around the middle and southern part of England is booked up completely, with a 6 month backlog. So I searched around for availabile test centres and that lead me to Leicester.
I spoke with Sunil and he was more than happy to put me through the paces and see if I was ready to take my test.
He has a high standard of teaching, covering all aspects of what will be required to pass the practical test. I'm glad to say all the hard work paid off, I passed my test first time with 1 minor fault which I'm very happy with.

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!

Sunil is an awesome instuctor, I would happily recommend him to anyone.

I have really bad anxiety and i felt great driving with paul from drive johnsons would highly recommend

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!

Sunil is an incredible driving instructor. I passed today all thanks to Sunil ! , And Sunil is a wonderful teacher and is very focused and patient and knows how to explain everything well so that it's easy to understand and remember. The lessons were very well planned and structured, all my mistakes pointed out and corrected effectively. He managed to remember each of the skills we practiced in previous lessons and knew what was important to focus on. Overall I'm very grateful and would recommend Sunil to everyone learning how to drive! With Sunil as instructor, you will surely succeed and be safe on the road. I have no words how Grateful I am !

I can’t speak highly enough of Paul. When I started my lessons with him, he understood that I could become quite nervous in some situations. With his help and guidance he identified coping mechanisms to help me keep these nerves under control, and boost my confidence which then helped me to become a better driver. He also explained processes to me in an extremely clear and comprehensive way, and this was definitely a massive help. In addition, he was very accommodating with me and my work hours. I passed first time and this was all down to the thorough guidance Paul provided and the confidence he instilled in me.

Sunil was an amazing instructor, helping me to pass first time and feel confident driving. He was great fun to spend time with and I honestly cannot recommend learning with him enough.

Sunil is a truly fantastic instructor, his style of teaching is very calming, putting you at ease from the get go. Learning to drive with Sunny was actually fun, and the only sad thing about passing is not learning with him anymore! Can’t recommend him enough!

Paul is my first every driving instructor and made me feel at ease behind the wheel, not too pressurising however pushes you when you need it. He adapts teaching styles to the way you learn. He is a great instructor

I can't thank Sunil enough for his huge support and his dedication.I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor!
I was a very nervous driver and he put me at total ease and helped build my confidence.
Thanks a million ,I couldn't have done it without you....Thanx once again

Paul is a patient, friendly and understanding instructor. He takes into consideration how you learn, tailoring sessions to your benefit. I've had a couple of sessions with Paul who has greatly improved my confidence and ability in the car.

Sunil is an amazing driving instructor and is very calm and understanding (even when you mess up)! 10/10 person. I passed first try thanks to him. Thank you Sunil :)

Pauls great, as nervous as was getting behind a wheel paul soon made it seem like easy learning! His calm manor made me feel alot at ease! With many tatics to learn about driving paul makes it easy with his style of learning
I always look forward to the next lesson

Had my first driving lesson with Paul today! What I like most was how Paul explained things clearly and put me at ease! Would definitely recommend to any new learner drivers or to anyone having refresh lessons!

Thank You Paul!

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!!

Paul was great with my son who was very nervous and like many teenagers - often monosyllabic! Kept us updated with relevant info and always responded to queries

I truly appreciate your professionalism and the way you tailored the lessons to my needs. Your guidance has given me the confidence I needed to drive safely and independently.

Test tip of the month for Wigston

It’s common when turning left at a blind T-junction to look right and only look left when the car goes into a new road. You will often get away with this, but now and again, something will be there, like a parked car or a pedestrian about to walk out. On your test, you’ll fail, and in real life, you’ll have a severe accident. Be sure to do the minimum observations for T-junctions: right, left, right and then look into the road before you emerge into it!

Useful driving test tip for Wigston Show more

Useful driving test tip for Wigston

When approaching a no entry sign, expect the examiner to say nothing unless there is more than one option on where to go. As you approach the no entry, the examiner will be ready to brake you if you aren’t slowing down and look as though you will miss the no entry. If you notice their foot or leg moving slightly, you possibly have 1-2 seconds to go in the correct direction before they use the dual controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will you make sure I get the most out of every lesson?

Each of your driving lessons in Wigston will be tailored to your driving requirements, especially if you start lessons with our 2-hour assessment. Lessons will begin on on roads like Durnford Road, which is long, wide and fairly quiet. Roads like this are the perfect place to pick up the basic driving skills like moving off, bringing the car to a stop, making right and left turns and stopping at and emerging at T-junctions. Wide roads are great for practising manoeuvres on.

What sort of roads will I be driving on during my lessons?

When you take your driving test in Wigston, it's likely you'll cover a range of different road types, considering the town is on the outskirts of Leicester. You'll most likely have to deal with both rural (country) roads like Countesthorpe Road and urban (town) roads like the A6 Glen Road and A563 Southfields Drive. Your driving instructor will cover all of these roads, ensuring you're adequately prepared for your big driving test day.
