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!

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!!

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!!*

Thank you for all the information you taught in a short period of time. It was pleasure to prepare with 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

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

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

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.

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!

Rafi is without a doubt the best instructor I have ever had. Without him I would not have been able to pass, he completely restored my confidence in driving. He not only taught me how to prepare for the test but also for driving in general in areas I was not familiar with. He’s also very flexible and works around you, often sacrificing his own free time closer to the test date. Thank you so so much Rafi for your amazing teacher and your patience. It was always a bonus we had lovely chats during our lessons!!! Wish you all the best

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

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!

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 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

Thank you so much Rafi. You have shown an amazing patience. It is a really hard job but he was absolutely great.I have passed with 2 minors after learning with him 1 month.. He is very calm and he explains everything very clearly with a great patience. He is a great instructor , I have learned a lot of things from him. I am so lucky we have worked together
Thanks

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.

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.

Mr. Rafi s observance and experience gives the extra benefit in getting through the First time .
Never ever give up is his motto and that actually worked on me thouroghly.

He’s punctual , communicative , and achiever , that’s a trade mark of this wonderful person .
Always ears too , and sighting various examples and roads to remember during the test while giving lessons .

The best in the business and I would very highly recommend Mr. Rafi , to anyone out there , who are a first timer or experienced . He will make sure , and will wants to get it pass the first time .
God bless Mr. Radio and keep up the good work .

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! I passed with 0 minors!

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.

Rafi is an excellent teacher who will go the extra mile to help his students. With his great knowledge of driving, his professionalism and patience, Rafi pushed me to pass first time. I was extremely nervous when I first started to take lessons but Rafi was able to help build my confidence on the road. Extremely great full for the extra tips and videos Rafi sent me to help improve my driving.

I highly recommend Rafi as a driving instructor.

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

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 a patient and nice instructor. I was a very nervous when start driving, but it got improved gradually with Rafi’s guidance.
I passed my test recently, without his professional advice I wouldn’t be able to pass the test within a short period of learning time.
Thank you Rafi and good luck for the future!

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.

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

I had a great time learning to drive, and thank you driveJohnson's for organising excellent tuition.

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 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!

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 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.

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.

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 !!!

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!

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!

Highly recommend Rafi he is patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel at ease behind the wheel. Their clear instructions and helpful tips boosted my confidence and prepared me perfectly for the driving test. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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.

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 : )

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.

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

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 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.

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 RAFI! I have passed with 2 minors after learning with Mr Rafi for 2 months. He is an outstanding instructor, with great patience but did not sugar coat things, and helped me to reach my goal realistically. Our lessons were productive and enjoyable, I have learned a lot from Rafi. He is a great mentor, not only with driving matters but with life in general. I cannot recommend Rafi enough!

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.

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.

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.
