I have passed my test from the first time with only 2 minors. All thanks to Mr Rafi who was so patient with me and made me overcome my fears . He taught me all the necessary information, explained everything patiently. Thank you Mr. Rafi

So grateful to find Rafi and have him as my instructor. I recently passed my exam with just 3 minors and this is the result of hard work and patience that Rafi showed throughout my lessons.

One thing, he is not your regular driving instructor - he is an amazing life mentor and a very funny person, so you will have a bumpy ride when learning to drive but at least you’re in the best hands. Wishing Rafi the best of luck in his future.

Rafi's professionalism and passion for his work were evident throughout my lessons. His well-structured plans, insightful feedback, and experienced instruction significantly contributed to my skill development and boosted my confidence. I also thoroughly enjoy our friendly chats along the journey. Thanks to Rafi, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent instructor for a successful learning and testing experience.

Rafi has been so patient with me and my driving and I managed to pass first time! His teaching methods are so helpful and he makes you feel very easy while driving. I wasn’t very confident before my test and he reassured me a lot.

Learning how to drive is a rollercoaster and they’ll be days I wanted to give up but Rafi kept pushing me and now I have a drivers license!!! Thank you so much Rafi! The best driving instructor by far!!

Rafi is such an amazing instructor, he never gave up on my driving even though I’m very impatient. He thought me how to drive from scratch and was very supportive. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Rafi is an excellent instructor. Couldn’t have ask for anyone better. I never drove before and learning to drive was a very scary for me , but he made this whole journey very enjoyable and I’m happy to say that I have passed in first go with only one minor!!

I passed on my first try thanks to Rafi! He is a great instructor and will get you where you need to go! Highly recommend.

To be honest if your looking for the one of the best Driving instructor Rafi is one you could blindly take lessons from him. I just had few lessons around 4/5 lessons before my test date and I had so many serious and dangerous fault, he never said anything negative until I cleared all my mistakes
And finally i passed my test with 1minor mistake which would not have been possible without the help and support which Rafi has provided me throughout my learning period.

If you are thinking about taking his classes trust me you wont regret.

What if you're not interested into driving or not willing to drive at all? What if your husband always pushing you to drive and pay the cost of the lesson? To cut the story short i got my driving licence after 8 months of hardwork. I am really thankful to Rafi for his patience and never ending energy when it comes on our lesson. He was amazing, experienced instructor and brother to me. He never gave up on me even though I nearly giving up on myself. His positivity in life is contagious and made my confidence grow. He can be a tough instructor but the overpowering effort made me trust him moreover these days. He was a great help why I learnt to love driving. Here I am, proud of myself but I guess my husband is the proudest of what I have achieved. I gave all the credits to Rafi and I'm grateful having him as my driving instructor.. I would like to thank DriveJohnson's for giving me the most supportive and skillful instructor in the Uk. I would highly recommend Rafi to everyone that's interested to start their driving journey.

I passed my driving test last week with 3 minors. Mr. Rafi is a great instructor who taught me the skills for being a safe driver. He has built the confidence in me for driving and never let me give up. Inwas a difficult learner and he always explains all the information with patience. He was always happy to schedule me for extra lessons close to exams. I would recommend him for everyone who is willing to learn driving.

Great help from rafi, supported me all the way and guided me to pass. He tought me everything and eventually had great success in passing!!

Rafi is a great instructor and a great guy to be around. Learnt so much from him while learning to drive and it always motivating you to get better and better at your driving while making sure you don't give up.

Rafi was an absolutely brilliant teacher. He is very patient and had so many good tips to help you with manoeuvres and roundabouts etc. He always tried to go above and beyond when accommodating his students and clearly cares a lot about his students success. He is never sharp with his tone and is always positive when telling your what you need to improve on. This is why I feel he is such a good teacher. If you want an instructor with amazing experience then you should use Rafi.
Thanks to his guidance I passed first time!

I had some experience from driving in another country, but Rafi helped me get rid of all the bad habits I brought with me and can happily say I passed my test today first time. Would recommend!

Rafi is a legend.

I had zero experience and he taught me to pass first time.

Very professional, and driven to teach well.

? recommend!!

I really enjoyed driving with Rafi! He’s supportive and motivating and this gives me great confidence. I passed with one minor! Thanks Rafi

is is my feedback about Rafi who has helped me sail safely through driving and succeeding in my practical driving test on my first attempt.
Rafi is a people's person. He interacts very well and paid attention to my personal driving needs and was able to tailor my lessons to my specific needs and lead to my success. Rafi always dresses very professionally and that shows someone who is professional and takes pride in what he does. He's also got a very good sense of humour and that helps relieve the tension from driving. Rafi never forces his agenda , but rather listens very carefully and works together to achieve the goal.He is always very calm, disciplined, and never loses his cool.He is also very encouraging and he believes in the ability of his student and I felt that trust was so important for my learning and success.I really like his notes and they are very simple and easy to understand and very relevant. His teaching about using the youtube has proven very helpful inlearning techniques and be safe on the road. I would recommend Rafi to anyone who seriously wants to learn and become a safe driver.In my opinion he is the best driving instructor.

Manju

Outstanding instructor -passed 1st time. Rafi is a veteran instructor that organised a test and helped me to pass in just 3 weeks! He knows all the common mistakes that new drivers make and will fine-tune your driving so that you are confidant and safe on the road. He his a professional who I would highly recommend.

Rafi is the best instructor I could've hoped for. Before Rafi I had failed 4 times, with 2 different instructors. Always being very nervous. With Rafi I managed to pass it the first time. He is always calm and patient, giving tips that help for the test. "Always play to the 90th minute" really helped me. I thought I failed early on the test, but I just kept repeating to myself, "keep going" as Rafi had drilled in. And in the end I was surprised to see I'd actually passed.

If you're looking for a driving instructor, Rafi is definitely the man.

Rafi! One of my biggest blessings ! He has been the best instructor ever, he told me he would make me a great driver and that is EXACTLY what he did! Couldn’t thank him or recommend him enough.
#besties !!

GO RAFI!!

For the past 6 months Rafi has not only taught me how to drive but also taught me valuable life lessons. He’s an excellent instructor with so much passion and patience. He never got tired of showing me the same things if I have forgotten and always believed in me till the very end. Even on the day of my exam I still didn’t believe in myself but Rafi knew deep inside that I would pass and I passed first attempt with only 4 minors. He always sent me links and video clips to help me along!

Don’t think about it, just book with Rafi you will never regret your decision!

Rafi is the best driving teacher I ever could’ve gotten. Each lesson was fun and exciting, he really did a good job. I don’t regret any pound i spent ???

Yabbadabbodoo! I pass my test today, I am over the moon and I could not do it without Rafi, which I want to thank so much.
I decided to take up driving lessons after 15 years because i wanted to drive my family with a car in the future. It was so incredibly lucky that DriveJohnson recommended Rafi to me. He is top class professional instructor, motivator and life coach and takes care of you, giving sound and firm advice to learn from your mistakes. I had 7 months of intensive driving lessons to be road aware and safe road driving to pass first time!
Rafi believed in me that I would pass my test, I could let him down for the effort he puts in. I have a lot of mutual respect for a person who cares for the people their teaching. Thanks bro you are amazing.

Best instructor hands down. Book your lessons now and get that plastic

Rafi is very professional, focused , funny and instills the belief into you that you got this " Lets go and smash this brother " and we smashed the that test to bits and pieces

I passed my driving test with Rafi. He built my confidence and made my driving lessons very comfortable. I highly recommend him.

There are no words to describe how professional and amazing Mr. Ameri is in his role of an instructor. His skill of knowledge and teaching is unique and outstanding! He has highly helped me to achieve my driving goals in the most efficient way. He puts a lot of hard work and dedication in teaching his students to make sure they are fully prepared and motivates them to do even better no matter what.

My driving experience with Mr.Ameri has been very enjoyable as he never gives up on his student no matter what stage they are in. If you listen to him and follow his instructions you will definitely pass with flying colours!

He knows what he’s doing and he makes sure his student knows else well! 5 stars is nowhere near enough to what Mr.Ameri deserves and I have no words to describe the level of his skills either.

I passed my driving exam today and couldn’t have been more happier and proud to have had an instructor like him teaching me. Such a friendly and nice person without a doubt! If you want to pass your driving test with confidence I recommend learning under Mr. Ameri for an enjoyable experience. You will not regret it!

When I first came to Rafi I had no experience with driving, 4 months of consistent lessons With Rafi I passed my test first time! He is a great teacher and person, I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to get their driving license. Thank you.

Mr. Rafi is an instructor with loads of expreince and many commendable qualities, he is always clam,patient, punctual and the best quality of all is that he is a WONDERFUL person.

He is always ready to help in scheduling a class even on a short notice.
He pays close attention to all your faults during the lessons and ensures these are acted upon and rectified in the next lesson.
He helps you build your confidence and ensures you develop the "Never Give Up" attitude.

A shout out to all learners out there grab Rafi as you instructor and guarantee yourself a licence.

Thank you very much for helping me pass my test.

Sandro Remedios

Raf was the best Driving instructor iv ever had he Taught me so much about the driving and about my self too so I would Recommend raf to anyone he help me past first time I still can’t can’t believe I past thank you raf for helping me : )

Thank you for your help in finally getting my driving licence and therefore freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want :) Rafi is a great teacher, patient yet he does say things as they are. He went extra mile and when I approached him just a week before my exam for help he squeezed me in to his very busy schedule and made sure that I have enough lessons. Thanks to him I have passed in my first attempt with just 3 minors. Thank you very much again and be sure I will be recommending you to all my friends and family.

I had a very postitive and succesful experience whilst learning how to drive with Quick pass driving school. I managed to learn and master all manoeuvres in a very short period of time aswell as general driving due to the thorough and consistent teaching. This resulted in me passing my driving test first time round with only 2 minors, I am very grateful for quick pass driving school and I highly recommend all new drivers and learners to use quick pass driving school.

Bosid Karim

Rafi is an excellent instructor! He is very dedicated to helping his students pass and always encourages you to perform at your best - I highly recommend his guidance.

I couldn’t rate Raffi enough.
I had a test booked and my previous instructor had advised me not to take it.
I wanted a second opinion and so found Raffi and he squeezed in 5 lessons before my test, to ensure I was up to scratch to pass and I did!
Raffi went above and beyond to fit me in and help me achieve this.
Not only will you learn how to drive you and feel comfortable doing so, he will keep you positive along the way.
Push - preserve until something happens ?

Rafi is 100% reliable when it comes to driving. He works around you so you can do your lessons when it suits you best. He always sends me YouTube links everyday to to watch in order to practice and stay refreshed. Under his guidance I passed first time with 4 minors and he was so excited for when i passed. Rafi is 100% geninue nice guy and I would recommend him to anyone and everything.

I have just passed my driving test First time with 0 minors!

This is all thanks to Mr Rafi. Rafi is an absolute exemplary driving instructor, Rafi showed great knowledge, experience, patience and guidance all throughout my driving journey. I had driving anxiety which Rafi really helped me to overcome with an understanding and calm demeanour.

Rafi is an asset to Drive Johnson’s Driving School, If you are looking to pass your test with an absolute star of an instructor book Rafi with Drive Johnson today!

Still can't believe I passed at the first time. It was a long and painful journal, but I finally archived it with Rafi's great help. Much appreciated!

Rafi was very professional and persevered with me despite me taking a while to pick some areas up.

He didn't just teach me how to drive to pass the test, but also how to drive confidently in busy areas with many hazards.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Working with Rafi made driving both easy and relaxed. He has a great work ethic and his lessons are expertly tailored to the test routes. He is also very accommodating to his students and makes sure that the lesson times work for us. His calm relaxing teaching style has helped me pass first time and makes sure that I will always "stay cool like ice" on the roads.

I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Rafi. As well as being a fantastic instructor, he is a very positive person. He has the perfect balance between being tough and being patient, which makes him a great person to learn from. Thanks to Rafi, I was able to pass my driving test after just a couple of months.

Brother Rafi is an excellent instructor with years of experience teaching students and very supportive, he helped me pass my test second time around and gave me great tips for passing! Highly recommend him!

Well well well, where can I start? Rafi is the best instructor I have ever had there is no better. He is patient but firm and boosted my confidence so much! And trust me if you put your trust in him he will not let you down. The road was bumpy (mostly for me) but I passed first time after 35 hours! He took his time, answered all my questions, showed me everything I need to know to be a SAFE driver and as he would say “took care of me”. I feel so confident on the road and if it wasn’t for his teachings I wouldn’t have the pass I have today! If you see this and you’re thinking of booking with him.. don’t think. DO! Thank you again Rafi!

From my experience of taking lessons with Mr Rafi , I can only speak on the good things as there were was nothing negative. he is calm and collected and his knowledge on the roads is something I’ve never seen before. He guided me in the right direction and would always explain things in detail so I would get a better understanding. I had two instructor before I met Mr Rafi and I must say Mr Rafi is on another level when it comes to teaching people how to drive. I highly recommend anyone to take on lessons with Mr Rafi. I passed my exam first time and it wouldn’t have possible without his help .

5 stars for Rafi is not enough. I had one of my best experience in my life. It’s not just learning how to drive, he is one of the best. The instructor who tailoring your lessons just for you and that’s a skill/talent.
Can’t thank you enough Rafi. All those things that I heard about you were true. Great and enjoyable way to learn driving. Also life lessons, laughter. Honestly can’t put it in words, you should experience it for yourself.
There’s a reason for all the excellent reviews.

Thank you again and wish you and your family all the best. You are a great person.

I was quite nervous about driving at first but as soon as I got into the car on my first lesson with mr Rafi he made sure to let me know how easy driving really was! A good instructor with brilliant knowledge of driving in the UK. He really pushed me to be the best driver I could be, and I am blessed to have been able to work with him. 5/5!

Mr Rafi helped me build my confidence, be a vigilant and safe driver. He is extremely supportive and a blessing to learn from. Passed in southall test centre with 5 minors.

After a negative experience with a previous instructor I didn’t think I would ever enjoy driving. My confidence in the car was at an all time low, but after beginning lessons with Rafi that all started to change.
He was patient, honest, amazingly encouraging, and just an all round lovely person. He made me feel at ease straight away and made learning to drive fun and positive. He helped me build my confidence on the road and I feel so grateful for that.
He was always on time, incredibly knowledgable and knew exactly what we needed to work on from the previous lesson. I ended up passing with just 1 minor, which I could not have done without him!
I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Thank you Rafi!
*BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER!!*

Enjoyed all of my lessons and anyone thinking of going with Automatic, go with Rafi!!!

Rafi is an excellent driving instructor. He is patient, supportive, and resolutely good natured. I will miss our lessons, and will be forever grateful for the confidence that he has given me behind the wheel.

Useful driving test tip for Brentford Show more

Useful driving test tip for Brentford

There are elements of the driving test where the examiner is more forgiving than others. A few things they are not forgiving on are the following: poor observations, judgement at junctions such as roundabouts, lane discipline and following other vehicles too closely. These sorts of problems, if they go wrong, usually lead to serious car accidents. Make sure your judgement and lane discipline is good, that you do your observations and follow other vehicles at a reasonable distance!
