If you’re looking for the best driving instructor in the UK, look no further… Absolutely phenomenal, elite level of professionalism! Sensational method of teaching and friendly personality, would without a shadow of a doubt recommend to everyone!! Undisputed best driving instructor I have ever had, definitely the best decision I have made in my life.
Unbelievable instructor. Taught me all the test routes in Barnet inside/out. On the day of my test there was nothing I hadn't seen before. Always on time, never cancelled. I would recommend to anyone serious about learning to drive. Don't mess this lady about she has a long waiting list - took me 2 weeks to get booked back in with her because I cancelled one lesson. That's how good she is!
I can't believe i passed my test first time with Drivejohnsons and thats all down to Domenico, will highly recommend to friends and family.
Ari is an exceptional driving instructor in London. His patience and calm demeanour helped me feel at ease behind the wheel. He provided thorough explanations and tailored the lessons to my needs.
I recently passed my driving test in Barnet thanks to Ari. Ari is a very highly experienced driving instructor and will prepare you not only to pass the test, but to drive confidently. He is teaching you every little detail and on the test day you are completely ready! Highly recommended ,thanks Ari
Samira is a great instructor! she is very patient with my learning and will repeat the test routes so that i am prepared for my test which is so important. I really recommend her.
I am speechless at how good Domenico was at teaching. I had lessons with another driving school and they were no where near as structured or as detailed as these, if you want to pass make sure you learn with the best!
If you need to pass make sure you learn with Domenico as he is incredibly efficient and a great communicator.
Best instructor ever!!!
She’s so lovely and nice.

Samira is a great instructor. She is strict and perfectionist, but absolutely friendly at the same time. I passed with no faults and it wouldn’t have been possible without her. I would recommend Samira to anyone!
Hojjat is an excellent driving instructor with great communication skills. He explained complex concepts simply and understandably. I owe my success in passing my driving test to his guidance.
By far the best instructor that I have had, I have failed my test with another driving school but my lessons completely changed when I learned with Domenico and I will never look back.
I came to Susanna as I failed my test with two other instructors, I was going to give up but she kept me going and 10 hours later I passed with just 3 minors thanks to her. Great instructor and really lifted my confidence when I thought I couldn't do it anymore.

As you emerge out of the first few T-Junctions, be sure to forward lean if cars are blocking your view and control the car slowly with the clutch and brake. Keep your heading looking both ways regularly, as if you are watching a tennis match.
Susanna Fox - driving instructor in Barnet
A nice little tip that should serve you well is that whenever the examiner gives you a direction, you will inevitably have to check your mirrors. If they say, “Next road on the left”, check the interior and left door mirrors. If they say, “At the roundabout, follow the road ahead”, check your interior mirror as you will need to slow down and know what’s behind you.

Our best advice would be to just try and relax. It's completely normal to feel nervous before your first driving lesson. Our instructors will be expecting this and will do their best to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable during your lesson.
You can rest assured that you're in capable hands with our driveJohnson's instructors. They have years of experience and have taught people of many different abilities to learn to drive. During your first lessons you will be taken on some of the quieter roads in Barnet to get you used to driving and familiar with the car.
We want to make learning to drive as easy as possible for you, that's why we do our best to accommodate to your needs and fit into your busy schedules. Our driving instructors are more than happy to pick you up and drop you off at a location of your choice thats local to the area. For example, if you would like to start your driving lesson in Enfield where you work and finish in Barnet where you live, it's no problem.
The driving test pass rate does tend to be lower for most areas inside of London, be it due to the more complicated junctions, busier traffic or just more crazy drivers.
Living in London, there are several test centres that you can take your test at not too far away. Your driving instructor will plan to familiarise you with the test routes at your chosen test centre beforehand, so you may well find you have driving lessons in Borehamwood, Barnet or Enfield if you have booked your test at a test centre there.
When taking driving lessons in Barnet, you will begin by starting in quiet areas like North Finchley Leisure Park, which offer a nice open space for you to practice the basics. As you progress and your confidence grows, you will find yourself on roads near where you begin your lessons with busier roads being taken.
As you continue to progress and develop, you will find yourself leaving Barnet and driving around London and other areas. Some interesting locations to look out for include Hampstead Heath, Royal Air Force Museum London and potentially Wembley Stadium.
Yes, you can. We have many pregnant women take their driving lessons with us every year who go on to successfully pass their driving tests. No one wants to get on the bus with a pushchair and 10 bags of shopping! Find out more about taking driving lessons when pregnant and taking the driving test.
