Owner & Instructor
I qualified and started up on my own around 10 years ago now. At the time I was one of the youngest instructors in the UK. Through recommendations my business has grown from just myself to over 80 instructors across the UK. I don’t do much teaching now as I spend a lot of time doing things like educational videos which can be view in our learning centre.

Although officially my test form says 7, there were a couple of duplicated faults (mainly just me being lazy)! Overall, my driving lessons were brilliant - I couldn't have asked for better service. Thanks a lot guys.

I tried a couple of driving instructors around MK and could never find one I got on with. I never really had faith in what they were teaching me. That was until I called driveJohnson's and was introduced to Simon. Breath of fresh air.

Thank you sooo much to Shakeel in Wellingborough. I fear that without him I would never have passed my driving test! Thanks Shakeel and driveJohnson's!

Quality driving lessons and quality driving instructor. Could have a good laugh and chat about the weekend's football scores too. Really enjoyable. I passed my test first time with 5 minors.
