I can’t express my feelings. I have passed my driving within 4 lessons with him . He is just amazing. 100% recommended for everyone. Loved it 🖤

Fantastic teacher, goes at the correct pace never raises his voice and allows me to make the mistakes and correct them myself instead of correcting me every time. Always enjoy the lessons and very much recommend!

I had my first lesson today, and he made feel at ease and confident during the lesson. Thank you!

Only have 2 lessons and can already see a big amount of progress. Nazmul explains things thoroughly which gives you the information to apply this practically

Passed my test a week ago with this instructor, he is honestly the more decent guy & a fantastic teacher! Don’t hesitate about booking with him

Really great instuctor

Great instructor! Pushes you to the limits. I passed my test with 1 minor fault at Barking!

Naz is such a motivating and great instructor, I passed today with just 1 minor and 6 hours with him. He’s the best! Thank you Naz.

Nazmul is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about his students. His lessons were well-structured, and he adapted his teaching to suit my learning style. Thanks to him, Also feel like a confident and safe driver.

I have recently started the lesson with him but the way he is teaching me I am quite happy . He is calm and more patient with me though I ask him same question many time and make the mistake again and again.

Hossain is a fantastic driving instructor who will help you pass quickly and build up your driving confidence, I'd recommend him to anyone!

Really good school to use, they have a lot of flexibility and are really easy going. I have had 3 instructors with driveJohnson’s because of moving areas and all of them have been amazing.

Naz is a fantastic teacher! Very thorough with his teaching and irons out any mistakes when they arise.

After changing instructors, I’m actually enjoying my lessons instead of dreading them and have come on leaps and bounds with Naz. He is very calm and patient and he has made me a very confident driver after only a handful of lessons.

I would definitely recommend!

Had my second lesson today and already feel comfortable and in control! A great teacher

I’ve had a few lessons with Nazmul and I’m very happy. He is very patient and helpful to correct any mistakes. I am becoming a more confident driver from my lessons with Nazmul and would definitely recommend.

I had an outstanding experience learning to drive with Nazmul Islam! He is an incredibly calm, polite, and knowledgeable instructor who makes every lesson stress-free and enjoyable. His extensive experience in hospitality and customer service truly shines through in his patient and professional teaching style. He provides clear, structured guidance and ensures that every student feels confident behind the wheel. The Peugeot E2008 Electric automatic was a pleasure to learn in, and his attention to detail helped me improve significantly.

If you’re looking for a top-quality driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress, Nazmul is the perfect choice! Highly recommend to anyone looking to pass with confidence. Thank you for your amazing support!

very good instructor every lesson i improve even more and really focuses on your weaknesses to make sure you improve and learn from your mistakes. I have only done 3 lessons and i have already covered so much by applying theory based knowledge through safe driving on the road

Nazmul is a fantastic teacher! I have only had 4 lessons with him and I feel like I’ve come so far. He really breaks down concepts that are usually very tough to understand. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my instructor!

I’ve had 3 lessons so far and thanks to Naz I have grown very confident in driving very quickly. ☺️

Thanks to Hamid I just passed my driving test 1st time with 3 minors !! Brilliant driving instructor !

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

I failed my test 8 times over 2 years, and thought I should probably change my instructor to see if I could improve. I called drivejohnsons and they booked me in for the same week, the instructor came & told me where I was going wrong in my first lesson. Now I have my test next month, and I’m really confident about being 9th time lucky!!!

Just had my second refresher lesson with Naz, he’s a great instructor, explains things clearly, and makes you feel confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend!

Top driving instructor, passed after 20 hours with Rahmat. Cheers

Test tip of the month for Wanstead

When taking your test at the Wanstead test centre and heading to the Charlie Brown roundabout, this is a spiral roundabout. If asked to take the 3rd exit right, get into the right lane onto the roundabout, but follow the left line lane separator (road markings), keeping it on your left – this will lead you into the correct lane to exit the roundabout. Beware though: although it is now easier, still look out for anyone joining from the A406 who may cut in in front of you. If you stay hugging the roundabout you will be in the wrong lane for exiting.

Useful driving test tip for Wanstead

Moving off is in the top 10 reasons for failing a driving test. A couple of classic reasons are: being in the wrong gear when stationary at lights or a junction and then stalling; and another is moving off with the handbrake still on or slightly on, especially on hills.
