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.

Rafi is a legend.

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

Very professional, and driven to teach well.

? recommend!!

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

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!!

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.

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!

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

I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Mr. Rafi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks to his dedication, patience, and expertise, I passed my driving exam on the first attempt!

Mr. Rafi truly goes above and beyond for his students. He is incredibly dedicated to ensuring their success and takes the time to tailor his teaching approach to each individual’s needs. His attention to detail and emphasis on safety made me feel confident and well-prepared for the exam.

I highly recommend Mr. Rafi to anyone looking to learn how to drive. With his guidance and support, you’ll be on the road to success in no time. Thank you, Mr. Rafi, for helping me achieve this milestone!

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.

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 was a great help in me passing my test after having a break from trying for 3 years! He made sure I never gave up and drove with a goal in mind!

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 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 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!

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.

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!

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 ?

Had an amazing experience and was able to pass on my first test due to the excellent teaching I was taught by my instructor! Definitely recommend.

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.

I am happy I chose to learn to drive with driveJohnson's as they were so professional and made it super easy from start to finish.

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!!

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.

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.

Mr. Rafi is an exceptional driving instructor who embodies the motto "stay cool like ice." His unwavering patience and dedication to teaching have been instrumental in enhancing my driving skills and instilling confidence behind the wheel. I am truly grateful for his guidance.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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 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.

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.

Sandro Remedios

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!

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!

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!!

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 an amazing, encouraging, calm and honest driving teacher. He was my sixth instructor and I was ready to give up driving before I started having lessons with him. He explains everything thoroughly and never lets you give up. Before I started learning with Rafi I was someone who dreaded driving lessons (and would regularly cry during them) but he turned this around. He was persistent and thorough, which resulted in me passing my test with only one minor. I cannot thank Rafi enough and would recommend him to anyone - especially nervous drivers.

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.

"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"

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Passed first time..I can’t thank Mr RAFI enough for all the help he has given..he brought the best out of me..made me feel more confident about my driving. Not only that but no matter if you made any mistakes, he still encourages you and make sure you learn from the mistakes you did!

I'm so thankful to him for all the lessons and support he has given me! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ..BEST INSTRUCTOR.

passed at first time very frustrating at times but knew with rafi alongside me every step of the way i knew i could pass if you are reading this and looking for instructors give rafi a try and you wont regret it.

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

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

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.

Test tip of the month for Hanwell

Be sure to secure the car first so it doesn't roll into a new road or roll back. Then restart quickly and safely. Check it's safe to move away again as well. If somebody is going round you, you may want to wait for them to pass first.

Useful driving test tip for Hanwell

When you are on the independent driving part of the test, it's common to miss your mirrors and signalling when listening to and following the satnav. Remember, every time you hear a new direction, be prepared to check your mirrors and put a signal on if needed.

Frequently asked questions...

What happens on my first driving lesson in Hanwell?

Your driving instructor in Hanwell will ask you about your previous experience. If you have not had any previous lessons, that is fine as many people have not had any previous experience. During this chat, your driving instructor will also go over the basics of the car, and they will do an eyesight check and check your provisional licence.

Once this is done, your instructor will begin your driving lesson in a quiet area. They will cover moving off and stopping, clutch control, the different pedals and how to steer. You will always begin in a quiet area away from cars and other road users to learn at your own pace.
