ATTENTION:We have space for 3 new learners for driving lessons in Hinckley!

Ian‘s very good and reliable at what he does! He helped bring out the confidence in my driving that I lacked and has helped me get on the road quicker than I ever thought I would without feeling rushed! Very calm when things don’t go to plan which makes you feel at ease knowing it’s ok to make mistakes! I highly recommend Ian to anyone, especially people who lack in confidence!

Ian is an amazing driving instructor. After having a few years off learning to drive he really helped me to grow my confidence back. Lessons were always great and Ian was always so supportive as he would find a way to tailor what we were working on so it suited me and is great at making you feel at ease, mainly with all the jokes he comes out with! I couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you so much for everything!

Absolutely amazing instructor Ian is. He taught me how to become a safe driver and helped me to pass my test. Ian’s jokes is probably the best parts of my lessons. He made driving so much more fun

Ian was recommended to me by a colleague after being with another instructor for over a year and failing my test multiple times. I have today just passed my test with a massive smile on my face and would like to thank Ian for his persistence. If you struggle with something he will always find a way to make it comfortable for you. Would highly recommend. Thanks for everything!!

Absolutely amazing instructor! Built my confidence after failing my test twice previous with a different instructor, then 1st test with ians help i passed. Im so happy and would highly reccomend ian to anyone.

Really great guy and an even better instructor. I couldn’t have passed my test without him, he went above and beyond to assure I was a safe driver and for that I’m grateful. I highly recommend.

Ian is a kind, empathetic and knowledgable instructor. His ability to tailor his lessons and approach to his students is exemplary. I am a PDI and so needed help with my part 2. Even being a seasoned driver, I was very nervous. Ian knew exactly how to help me which led to an excellent pass after his lessons. I cannot rate Ian more highly. I will drive for over two hours for him to teach my Son, so that’s high praise indeed.

I loved every minute of my lessons, would recommend Drivejohnsons to anyone (:

I had never driven before and was quite nervous about it before starting lessons with Ian, but I’ve just passed my test first time thanks to him! Ian is an amazing instructor and is very patient. He always makes lessons interesting with his terrible jokes and imaginary old ladies in the back (voice acted himself), I would recommend him to anyone!
Thanks so much!

Amazing instructor, I can't thank Ian enough for me passing, he is very patient also friendly, I really enjoyed all my lesson and would deffo highly recommend him, I am so pleased I have passed and this wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for Ian. Thank you so much :-)

Ian Dickman is a superb driving instructor. When I first started out with him, I was on the brink of quitting my driving lesson. He explains things and makes it so easy to grasp. I couldn't ask for a better teacher.

Thank you

Dean

Ian is an amazing driving instructor made me feel at ease safe and confident behind the wheel ,he knows his stuff !! So easy to get on with heis hilarious ,great person ,I passed first time !!! Thanks again :)

If you need to pass fast, then choose to learn with Sean. He is a fantastic instructor and always gave me great feedback, and because of that, I passed first time.

Ian was a very good instructor. From the first lesson until I passed he helped me with anything I wasn’t sure about. Would highly recommend him as he is very understand and professional. He always supported me.

Passed my test first time after having Ian as my instructor! Would recommend, despite his bad dad jokes he is very helpful and makes driving easy and made me feel very comfortable on the road:) Thank you for always making driving fun!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor:)

Ian was a great instructor for me, he was friendly, patient, really knowledgeable and very funny. I found it really easy to get on with him, I highly recommend him!!!

ian’s easily best about, such a good teacher with his own unique ways of teaching

If there was 100 stars I would give it to this man he got me though my driving test that I didn’t think was possible top glass bloke I can not reccomend him enough to everyone no matter if you are new or old to driving this is the best driving Instuctor to learn with top bloke Ian

I hadn't driven for over 5 years before starting lessons with Robin, and he helped me to get back up to standard very quickly. After learning with Robin I didn't have to worry about the test, as he got me to a standard beyond what the examiner needs to see. As Robin offers early morning lessons I could learn before work, which fitted my schedule perfectly.I'd recommend Robin to anyone looking for an instructor.

The best instructor you’ll ever ask for, I passed my test first time in just a few weeks, thanks to Ian. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, while making sure he supported me, and in turn this encouraged me to grow and adapt to different situations, that you’d deal with in reality. I’d 100% recommend him to everyone.

If there was 7 stars I would give them to Ian!!!
3 months ago, I had never sat infront of a steering wheel let alone actually drove a car. Today I passed my test first time, with only 4 minors! Ian, right from the very beginning of my learning journey built up my confidence and made sure every aspect of my driving was good. He is always offering very helpful constructive criticism however he never forgets to praise the good skills that you may have. This guy pays great attention to detail and learning to drive with him was an absolute pleasure. I 100% recommend learning with Ian, he is a very good teacher and instructor.

thank you gor all your help in me passing my driving test first

I’m not sure there’s a word that would quite encapsulate the gratitude that I have for Ian, with how expertly he trained me to pass my test first time. I’ve seen other reviews talk about Ian’s unique teaching style, and I could not agree more, he is incredible at tailoring the experience to the person he is teaching, and I always felt like I was in a safe environment to make a mistake and learn from it. He always put a smile on his face on every lesson and was always very patient with me, and had a great sense of humour with his impressions, and I honestly don’t think I could have a found a better driving instructor.
Thanks again, Ian.

My instructor Sean has been fantastic. He is always on time and makes our lessons enjoyable and, most importantly, very informative.

Robin was great I had my test booked already but when I started with him he knew exactly how to help and got me passed

I started learning with Ian a few months ago and honestly he is one of the nicest, funniest guys I’ve met. He calmed my nerves down with my Driving and he helps by breaking the lessons up with his crappy jokes ;). I sure will miss Ian, Bessie and the Queen being in the back of the car with a cup of tea!
Thanks so much for helping me pass Ian! I couldn’t have done it without you! :)

Great Instructor, helped me with my confidence. Would recommend to anyone. Will miss the stories!

Brilliant instructor, can't recommend anyone else other than Ian, when there's obstacles in learning to drive, Ian is brilliant for you to overcome them (from my experience). Highly recommend as I've passed my test 1st time with him.

Great person and will always bring your best out. He does acknowledge flaws but tries to find a way to overcome them or ‘meet in the middle’ to help you further your skills. Thank you for all you have done and I hope to see you on the roads.

I loved learning to drive thanks to Ian. While being supportive and professional, he always managed to make me laugh. I was able to pass first time, due to his fantastic approach to teaching. More importantly, I now feel confident driving.

I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you for everything!

Ian is an unbelievably amazing instructor, he has several brilliant qualities that makes him an astounding instructor: he is kind, very patient, pays great attention to detail and has the ability to calm you down when you feel things are becoming too much in the lesson by telling his crazy jokes about Bessie and other characters ? each lesson I would be in fits of laughter from his crazy jokes and stories!
He has worked so hard with me, picking up on my flaws and fixing them to become a better driver and has also built greatly on my confidence!
I honestly don’t think l would of been able to pass if l didn’t have Ian as an instructor, it has been such a pleasure having him teach me. I would recommend him to anyone!

I started lessons with Robin in February as a very nervous driver with not much self confidence, having already had 2 previous instructors, and after about 2-3 lessons with him I was comfortable driving long journeys in my own car and had way more confidence in my ability to drive. I had my test booked for August but luckily got a cancellation for July which I took and passed first time with three minors. Robin has given me a lot more belief in myself and is a great instructor, I used to get very anxious driving but he calmed my nerves and put me at ease almost instantly. He has a very calm and patient manner and I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Ian is the best instructor I could of hoped for.
I’ve been practicing with him for about 12 months with breaks because of covid but that didn’t stop us from having a laugh.
I didn’t expect to enjoy learning to drive as much as I did thanks to Ian.
He was always very calm and helped gain my confidence his instructing is immaculate.
I’d 100% recommend him to anyone.
Thanks mate!

Becoming a driver is an expensive process however, I got my moneys worth out of each lesson I had with Ian. I'm not a very fast Learner and thought I would never drive and with the help of Ian, his jokes about Bessie in the back, linking driving to skills I already have and building my confidence to solve problems.
I would 100% recommend Ian and his flashy Red and White C3 and his not so funny jokes. If you want to learn how to drive, he is the instructor to learn with for sure! EXCELLENT INSRUCTOR
Thanks for helping me pass, I am driving around in my car now with Bessie drinking safely in the back, see you on the road :)

absolutely amazing instructor!! after failing the first time with a different instructor, I turned to Ian for help and I wouldn't look back! after only 4 hours of driving with Ian before my next test I learned considerable amounts and succeeded by passing the 2nd time round. Would 100% recommend Ian as a driving instructor! makes you feel confident and comfortable! :)

This guy truly is amazing! I suffer with anxiety and always thought id never be able to drive a car yet with ians help i have now passed and im loving every minute of it! Thanks again ian and drive johnsons! Keep doinv what you do ian as it works

Started with Ian having never drove before and passed first time!
He is really good at changing teaching style to fit you and it worked really well for me. I would recommend him to anyone that’s going to start driving, he is a great teacher

Ian is a brilliant driving instructor built up my confidence from day one after noticing that i was nervous.
Ian is also punctual as well as being patient and put me at ease straight away. His car was good to learn in and well maintained.
Ian knows his stuff and I achieved this quicker than I thought I ever would thank to how he is.
Would recommend Ian to anyone.

I learnt with Ian and I passed my driving test first time! He’s a really good instructor and is very good at making you feel comfortable and building confidence. He gives really trustworthy advice and is able to change his lessons to suit you as an individual. He lets you choose what you want to do in the lesson and if you’re not sure, he’ll always have an idea in mind. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor!

Ian is an amazing driving instructor even when he does tell his rubbish jokes, got me through both driving tests and kept me positive even though the first time was a fail, definitely recommend, wont regret it!

5/5 Very easy to book and I got a lesson within a week, very happy with my instructor Sean so far.

Fantastic. Helped me pass, tips for after passing, confidence building, and generally a good teacher. Wicked sense of humour and totally professional.

Ian is not only a fantastic teacher but he is also a great guy. He has trained me throughout my journey to become a driving instructor and I am delighted to say that with his expert help and advice I have passed each test first time.

A lot of that is down to Ian's expert teaching style. I can only hope to be half the instructor he is going forward in my new career.

If anyone is looking for a trainer to get them through the tough ADI training then Ian is your man! Thank you for everything you have done for me over the training course and I am delighted to now be one of your colleagues within the fantastic DriveJohnson's family.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! After numerous driving instructors I got in contact with Ian and it was the best decision I made. Ian completely changed my perspective of driving and got me through my test with only 2 minors. I wouldn't of been able to do it without him. Would definitely 100% recommend him!!

Ian is by far the best instructor i couldve had. He had a lot of work on his hands with teaching me as im not the best learner and im pretty shy. He made me feel very comfortable and persevered with me and got me through my test with only 3 minors ... i will by far be recommending him to anyone thats asking for a driving instructor

Sean Smith is a fantastic instructor, and I can't fault him for anything. He was always punctual and had great lessons planned for me.

Highly recommend Robin to anyone that’s completely new to driving!! I was so nervous learning to drive and he completely put me at ease with his hilarious jokes and sense of humour! Such a great help! His calm and patient demeanour made all the difference. Robin always created such a relaxed environment so that I felt confident and supported throughout every lesson! His clear instructions and step-by-step approach helped me to improve steadily without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re looking for someone who is big on safety, who truly knows how to teach with kindness and professionalism, Robin is the one! Brilliant instructor!

I had a great time learning to drive with Sean as he was super friendly and super professional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to learn to drive.

A superb driving instructor and excellent communicator. Ian is able to effortlessly create a relaxed learning environment, putting you at ease, and focusing you on the learning tasks ahead. He builds consistent driving skills and confidence, whilst never condescending, and always tailoring the teaching to the way you learn best.

I unreservedly recommend him.

Very good, understands how to cater to your needs
