I passed yesterday on my first attempt at Tottenham after having lessons with Angela. She was amazing during my learning journey and always went out of her way to help me learn and become test ready. I can't thank her enough for all the time and effort she put into my lessons and how kind and helpful she was throughout!

After not making much progress with my previous instructor I switched to Rob and he made a dramatic improvement on my drive in a short period of time. His honesty with my drive was refreshing and gave me the push I needed to finally pass. He provided me with various tools and tips which were extremely effective and couldn't have been more supportive. There was a time I thought I'd never pass but that all changed after learning with Rob. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a seasoned professional who can greatly help any learner driver no matter their ability

I have been learning to drive since September 2017 and passed my test for the second time on the 11th of August 2018.Alex was really patient with me and taught me everything I needed to know. He took out extra time to fit in my lessons. There was times I want to just give up but Alex helped me to get through.

I had the amazing Amy Harris as my driving instructor who got me to pass my test first time with 0 minors! After taking lessons over 10 years ago I was very reluctant to get back in a car again as my last instructor really knocked my confidence. Amy took the time to really get to know me and understand me to get the best out of me when I was having my doubtful moment. I can honestly say that I have had the best time learning to drive with Amy, it has been a real blast!

I cannot thank her enough for teaching me a massive life skill that I never realised I was missing and I would definitely say that I have also gained a new friend too. Thank you Amy you absolute legend!

Relaxed and professional. Phil Manning has been great, always quick to answer questions and will put you at ease with his conversation and provides you with really helpful tips throughout the drive. Always on time, always a pleasure.

I was taught by Rob Thomas in Kettering and I couldnt recommend him enough! Passed first time and I was quite nervous! I have been taught by other instructors before and he is miles above the rest of them. Really nice guy, good relaxed approach and you always know where youre at and what youre doing next. 5*!

My driving instructor in Wellingborough, Rob Thomas, was a pleasure to drive with and massively helped my confidence. The office got my initial block of lessons booked in, and I was on the road within a week. We worked through the progress card methodically yet swiftly, with very clear instructions and feedback along the way. I made fast progress, but struggled with a few manoeuvres closer to test time, but Rob was very helpful and patient with me. I was allowed to learn at my own pace, yet never felt pressurised to book in more lessons than needed. Pleasant experience start to finish, would definitely recommend.

I tried 3 different companies before driveJohnson's. My only regret is I didn't choose Johnson's sooner. I took 10 hours with 'Alex' and he got me through my driving test first time with 2 minors.

I would recommend driveJohnson's Liverpool to anyone who wants to save money in the long run and pass first time. I done the 20 hour course from scratch and passed first time with 1 minor.
