Rated 5 out of 5

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 🖤

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!

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

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

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!

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.

Really great instuctor

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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

Useful driving test tip for Dalston Show more

Useful driving test tip for Dalston

Take your time on your manoeuvre so you can keep your head moving around in all directions. If you see anything coming towards you be prepared to stop; remember it’s their priority. If you stop, don’t forget to look all around you before you start moving again.

Lastly, don’t stare in the door mirrors. You can glance in them quickly only to see where you are and what you need to do with your direction.

Frequently asked questions...

What is it like having driving lessons in Dalston?

Although Dalston is one of London’s coolest areas, learning to drive around here may get you a bit hot under the collar if you’re unprepared!

But fear not, because your driveJohnson’s instructor is here to help you learn the basics in the most relaxed way possible. If you’re a beginner you’ll be taken to some of the area’s quieter roads - such as the residential streets around Hackney Downs - where you’ll be taught the basics and have the opportunity to get a feel for the controls.

Once confident, your instructor will help you out around some of Dalston’s more challenging parts, including Red Cross Corner and the one-way streets and other various restrictions which dot the area.

Taking your driving lessons in Dalston and surrounding areas will eventually feel like a breeze and you will be wanting to head for your nearest test centre in no time with us. Driving straight up the A10 to Tottenham will take you to your nearest test centre which is 4 miles away and approximately 20-30 minute drive during the day.
