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 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!!

Such a great instructor and amazing teacher. When I started I was not at all sure but slowly and steadily Rafi help build my confidence. And here I am passed with flying colours. I am so glad I did it and all thanks to Rafi.
Highly recommend him if you are looking for a a great teacher and mentor.
Thanks Rafi and wish you best in life ?

Dear Mr. Rafi

I would like thank you for being such professional yet friendly instructor while instructing me how to drive. I not only learn a lot from you and passed my test with great success and also enjoyed my lessons. Beside, doing the Pass Plus with you was very effective and built my driving skills and made me even more confident driver. Therefore, I will recommend my all friends to have their driving lesson with you. Once again, thank you very much.

Your humble student

Abdul Waheed Akbari

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 ???

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.

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.

Thank you Rafi for your patience, pearls of wisdom and Tony Robbins’ style inspirational speeches over the last 7 months. I’ll miss our chats about the world “it’s gone bananas”. Above all, thanks for helping me pass first time!

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.

Absolutely fantastic driving experience and instructor. Shout out to Rafi who was an amazing instructor and helped me get by in the short time I had. Fantastic honestly !!!

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!!*

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!

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.

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

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 had an excellent experience with my driving instructor. He has been incredibly supportive and patient throughout my lessons, making the entire process much easier and more enjoyable. His calm demeanor and never raising his voice helped me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. His teaching style is clear and effective, always providing constructive feedback in a positive manner. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and encouraging driving instructor.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!!

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!!

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!

“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 really enjoy driving with Rafi! He’s a true professional and very calm and this gives me great confidence.

Thanks to again Rafi for your patience and wisdom! He was a patient instructor but also gave good, honest feedback on how to improve my driving. The videos he sent regularly helped me review driving skills even out of the lesson time. I also appreciate how he was accommodating giving last minute lessons on short notice. Most importantly he is encouraging and motivates you do better. I would highly recommend learning with him.

Rafi is such a great instructor he's honest, patient and reliable, all the good qualities you need from your instructor and through him teaching me I was able to pass first time with one minor!

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.

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 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.

Rafi is a very kind and patient instructor. He pushed me to perform the best I possibly could. He taught me to believe in myself, and helped me improve my confidence. His teaching techniques are superb. I extremely advise Rafi as your driving teacher, he will ? help you succeed, and pass first time like me!! :)) thank you Rafi

Hard work with Rafi made my dreams come true. I have to say, when I’ve been told that I’m not a driver material 14 years ago. Rafi changed my mind set and made me believe again.

An incredible teacher, he brought the best out of me and has helped me reach my full potential and pass my driving test. He has taught me so much about driving a car and much more about life, honestly a great teacher and mentor

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.

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.

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! :)

Passed in my first try!!! A very big thank you to my instructor Rafi who taught me so well and helped me to be confident. Couldn't have done it without his guidance. So pleased I chose driveJohnson's!

"I would like to thank Mr. Mohammad Rafi Amiri for his professional instruction and unique skills in identifying driving learners’ weakest points and his driving lessons planning and implementation.

Within 10 minutes of my initial drive with Mr. Amiri he identified my weak points, developed a learning plan and gave me an accurate estimation of time, number of lessons to pass the driving test on the first attempt.

I found him a very punctual and flexible instructor. We had a very good communication throughout the driving lesson. He is a very experienced person, so every seconds of time with him is of a very high value. He has a lot to share with you, be it a social integration, professional/career, cultural/religious or any other topic. Get your driving lessons and much more for free!

I passed my driving test on the first attempt and got a clear sheet with not mistakes.

Thank you once again Mr. Amiri and wish you all the very best.

Best regards, Yama"

I highly recommend Rafi for his brilliant and helpful tutoring. He is very efficient and has a great ability to explain things clearly. Thanks to his guidance, I knew exactly where I needed to improve and how to get ready for the test. With his support, I passed on my first attempt. Thank you, Rafi

M.Rafi is an excellent instructor. He helped me pass with 1 minor in my driving test. Firstly, he is very dedicated to ensuring his students pass and regularly sends YouTube videos with driving to help improve your weaknesses in driving. He always gives clear instructions during driving lessons and always maintains a calm and positive attitude even when you doubt yourself. These qualities make him a great instructor. Some of my favourite motivational quotes from M.Rafi are: "Practice does not make perfect but PERFECT PRACTICE makes perfect" and "There is no shortcut to success". I would like to thank him for making the effort of travelling far distances for my weekly lessons as I live far to where he was originally teaching, he is very dedicated and will never, ever give up on you. He also taught my sister, this helped us learn from each other and made us more confident drivers. I am very thankful to M.rafi because now i have achieved a new skill and i will be able to use this skill for life and be safe on the roads. Highly recommended.

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.

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

They generally don’t come like raafi anymore legendary teacher. Really changed my whole driving experience in the best way possible.

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!!

M.Rafi is the best instructor one can hope for. I had quit learning to drive 4 times before I met Rafi. He instilled the confidence in me that I can do it. In the very first lesson he identified what my positives and negatives are and planned future lessons accordingly. He was very clear with his instructions and communication. He saw the areas of improvement in each lesson, made a note of it and helped me work on it. He was very thorough and organized. He was always on time to pick me up for the lesson and no time was wasted during the lesson. He has great mentoring and teaching skills. He is a very gifted teacher. He has a natural ability to make you feel at ease.
He prepares us very well to take the test. Videos, questions and helps practising a skill until we get it right.

I consider myself very lucky to have had an instructor like Rafi. He has been so calm and patient with me. He has taught me a life changing skill and I owe all that I have learnt to him.
I wish Rafi all the best in everything he takes up. I totally recommend him - especially for those who are not confident and are scared to drive.

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.

I'm closer to 50 than I am to 20 so when I decided to finally take up driving this year I took that step with a modicum of trepidation. When I was assigned Rafi I had no idea what to expect but when we first met I could see that he was the consummate professional. He was attentive and very focused in absorbing my needs and foresaw a developmental path that even I couldn't see!
I signed up for an intensive course and , quite frankly, I was somewhat overwhelmed and was on the verge of giving up at the end of my first week, I genuinely wanted to call it a day. This is where Rafi's skills really shone through as he lifted me from the abyss and gave me the pep talk that I needed to carry on. He saw far beyond what I could see and he knew that I had it within me to achieve our mutual target.
You could do an awful lot worse by going to a different driving school, with professionals like Rafi in their ranks it's no wonder that there are so many satisfied customers. I can't recommend this man enough, highly skilled in his work and he will ALWAYS bring out the best in 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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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!
