Rafi is great! He puts you at complete ease and builds your confidence really quickly. I hadn’t taken lessons in a few years and wasn’t feeling that confident and I was unhappy with my progress I had made. That completely changed having lessons with Rafi. He kept me on track and kept me positive. Thank you!

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!!

Today I passed my driving test 1st time with Rafi. I’ve never met an instructor that cares for their students the way Rafi does. When you’re at your lowest, he will always pick you back up. His support was amazing, he taught me so much and for that I’ll forever be grateful.

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!

Amazing instructor, will help you in every way possible. Rafi will teach you life skills as well as driving skills. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without Rafi. I would recommend to anyone!

Rafi is a legend.

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

Very professional, and driven to teach well.

? recommend!!

Mr Rafi is a fantastic instructor he has helped me get my licence

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!

I passed my driving test 1st time today with only 4 minors with Rafi's help. Rafi was my third driving instructor in the past year and half I've been doing my lesson, but he was the one that built the most confidence in me. If you're a very nervous driver (like me) Rafi's way of teaching is great as he's patient, he makes your feel relaxed and doesn't mind going over the same thing repeatedly to get it right. I was really nervous about my driving test but he went the extra mile by arranging his schedule to do early morning sessions and to have a final evening session the day before my driving test. His teaching method really sets you up for driving for life and I'm so happy to have had him as my driving instructor.

When I started to learn how to drive in the UK, I was extremely nervous.
Mr. Rafi was great in helping me build up my confidence. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable.

I passed my driving test yesterday at Southall and couldn’t be happier.

I would highly recommend Mr. Rafi to everyone.

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.

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!!

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!

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 takes the time to sharpen your weak areas of driving to make you the best possible driver on the road. He tests you often so by the time you do your real test your confident and find it easy.

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.

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!

I'd like to thank him for helping me pass my test with three minors. He was nice enough to explain things over and over again for me and helped me a lot in avoiding mistakes in driving.

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.

Mohammad Rafi is incredible! I passed my test today. He was so supportive and helpful. The best instructor out there!

I appreciate Rafi for his calmness, patience and encouragement. Rafi always made sure that he spared all his time to help work on the areas i was struggling with during my training. After every lesson, Rafi would record where i need to put all my strength and energy to fix in my next lesson. And once he was happy with that, then he would move me to another chapter of the lessons. In that way, i kept learning and building my confidence. He would see my losing hope sometimes, but he made sure he encourages me to continue working hard knowing i will pass. Am so happy to pass my test today 2nd time.

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!

Rafi is a very good instructor as he tell you what you need to know at all times. He helped me pass my test as he believed in me. And I would recommend him for anyone else learning how to drive.

“Success is something that comes with a lot of hard work and patience”... My experience with Rafi has definitely consolidated this cliché. He has been great with helping me get my driving license through hard work and lots of advice both on and off the road. He is a great person and I am glad to call a true friend!

I’ve been Rafi’s student since summer 2022 and it was certainly a bumpy ride trying to learn the rules of the road. But despite difficulties on the road, Rafi really helped me develop my road awareness and skills. He never gave up on me, even when I felt like giving up. His patience really motivated me to work harder and I definitely would recommend him to someone who is looking to pass their driving test!

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 : )

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 was very patient and kind.
Guided me very thoroughly and helped a lot.

Rafi is such a great instructor! He is very professional, patient and polite and I always looked forward to all of my lessons!

His method of teaching is brilliant and he gives really beneficial tips, tricks and advice to remember manoeuvres and techniques.

He always highlighted what I did well during and at the end of my lessons, which helped increase my confidence on the road, and I was always able to ask him anything if I was unsure, even if that meant him repeating himself - he didn't mind at all. He would also focus on my areas for improvement which we would aim to perfect in the next and future lessons.

He is always optimistic and reassured me in the lead up to my test. He had much confidence in me that I would pass first time, and I did very recently with only 3 minor faults! I would highly recommend Rafi to anyone wanting to learn to drive!

Thank you very much Rafi! :)

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 am thrilled to share my amazing experience with Rafi, my driving instructor, who guided me to pass my driving test on the first attempt!

From the very first lesson, Rafi’s professionalism and expertise were evident. His calm demeanor and patient approach instantly put me at ease, which is crucial when you're learning to navigate the complexities of driving. He has an exceptional ability to break down complex maneuvers into simple, easy-to-follow steps, making the learning process not just effective but enjoyable.

Rafi is an exceptional instructor, displaying remarkable patience and a unique ability to adapt his teaching to suit each individual's needs. I successfully passed my driving test with just two minors, and I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering commitment and dedication to teaching.

A first time passer thanks to you Rafi! A massive thank you for pushing me, believing in me and being patient on the days I needed it. It’s been a memorable experience and I’ve learnt a skill for life.
I couldn’t recommend Rafi enough. THANK YOU!

Rafi has been the most amazing instructor I could ever ask for. His ambition and positivity kept me going in stressful situations. He is able to keep you calm and provide good guidance without 'interfering' with your driving/journey. Rafi provided me with not only the best driving skills, but a much more positive outlook on life in general. He is a great individual, and I am sad to have passed and be leaving lessons with him.

Rafi supported me through my driving journey so patiently and with a very positive attitude. He encourages you to ask more and more questions, and doesn’t mind repeating himself. I passed my test in Yeading test centre with 6 minor faults. Thank you Rafi!!

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.

Rafi is one of the best instructors that I have ever met. Driving with him is fun and unforgettable. He is very confident, professional and very punctual. He put confidence in you so you can drive without hesitation. I really can’t describe how much I have learned from him and how I used to enjoy the lessons. I have passed from the first time which was the most amazing thing and credits goes to him.
Thank you

I am so grateful for having Rafi as my driving instructor. He taught me how to be confident in my driving and help me succeed in my test. He didn’t only teach me how to drive but he taught me beneficial life lessons that I’m endlessly grateful for. I would like to thank Rafi and drive Johnson’s as they were amazing! I would definitely recommend Rafi for anyone who wants to pass. As I passed first time. Thank you again

Rafi was off the highest quality, very attentive to detail on the road, very patient and making sure you learn everything possible for your test whilst making you feel comfortable behind the wheel. Everything was very quick and smoothly done from the first lesson to the test day. I couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor to get my license.

Thanks to Raffi I have just passed my driving test today on the first time of taking it. Raffi is a born teacher and I credit him entirely for my pass. Patient and reliable, Raffi was an outstanding teacher and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for all your efforts - I now feel safe and confident to drive!

Amazing mentor, only done 3 months of lessons and passed 🙌

First of what i would like to thank Mr Rafi for all he's effort And time that he put into teaching me how to drive . He was my first instructor and the only one, he took me from the beginning to the end and i have past test with very high results only 1 minor fault. I would truly recommend Mr Rafi to anyone who is planing on learning how to drive, he's very nice , polite and understanding, the way he explains things is very easy to understand and follow, he's a people person, make me feel comfortable from the start to the end. He believe in he's students, even if I wasn't sure that i can do it he was positive and believing i can!! Now that is all over and i got my license thanks to Mr Rafi i am very happy and pleased but at the same time kind of regret it as i will be missing the lovely chat with him. Such a amazing instructor

If you are starting your search for the right driving instructor, look no further!!! I had a great experience with Drive Johnson's, from the first phone call, throughout all my lessons and the final test - they were truly professional. My instructor Raffi was great! He really put me at ease when learning and made sure I was ready for my test, passing first time!!

Rafi throughout the course of my lessons was amazing and flawless. He was firm when he needed to be but was also a great teacher. He had constant faith in me and he was extremely dedicated. I had booked my test before my lessons and after doing a two hour assesment with Rafi he told me not to move my test and I would only need 10 hours. Any other company would have tried to give me more and more lessons to get more money out of me. But Rafi was honest and that is something I really. appreciate. Thanks to Rafi I passed first time with just two minors. I feel like I haven’t just got my Licence but I have also made a friend.

Thank you!

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

i couldn’t recommend Rafi enough he is a great driving instructor he helped me fix a date for my test and helped me to work towards passing the test with only 3 minors. He gives tips that not only helped me to pass the test but that I can use when I drive for years. He is a dedicated instructor who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals!

Rafi ameri is fantastic instructor ever and also has a pure lovely heart that you can trust .I remember the first time I met him I was in very bad situation in my life ,he gave me support and explained to me how to continue and move forward .he became a friend to me I can tell him what I feel and think .he teached me how to drive well ,safe and confident on the road.Thanks God I met him as I passed first time 2 minners and now I am looking for a first car to drive .

Dear Rafi,

Thank you so much for your help! Without your patient teaching I would not have been able to improve so much, to brace myself for a driving test. I’m really happy to pass the test especially with so few minor faults! Thank you ever so much for all your help.

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

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!
