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

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 ???

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 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 mentor, only done 3 months of lessons and passed 🙌

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!

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.

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.

There are no words to describe how professional and amazing Mr. Ameri is in his role of an instructor. His skill of knowledge and teaching is unique and outstanding! He has highly helped me to achieve my driving goals in the most efficient way. He puts a lot of hard work and dedication in teaching his students to make sure they are fully prepared and motivates them to do even better no matter what.

My driving experience with Mr.Ameri has been very enjoyable as he never gives up on his student no matter what stage they are in. If you listen to him and follow his instructions you will definitely pass with flying colours!

He knows what he’s doing and he makes sure his student knows else well! 5 stars is nowhere near enough to what Mr.Ameri deserves and I have no words to describe the level of his skills either.

I passed my driving exam today and couldn’t have been more happier and proud to have had an instructor like him teaching me. Such a friendly and nice person without a doubt! If you want to pass your driving test with confidence I recommend learning under Mr. Ameri for an enjoyable experience. You will not regret it!

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.

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.

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.

Passed first time in Southall!! I met Mr Rafi end of last year. That was 5 months ago, started off very bad and needed many lessons. Rafi is a very patient, motivating teacher.

Very humble and will make you fix your mistakes again and again until you get it correct. Rafi has been amazing throughout my learning journey.

Enjoyed all of my lessons and anyone thinking of going with Automatic, go with Rafi!!!

Thanks 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.

Ravi is a fantastic instructor and has helped me to master driving.

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.

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.

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’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 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.

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.

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 !!!

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

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

Sandra

Learning in London sounded scary to me, then I met Ravi. Ravi was so calm and made everything easy to understand. Thank you for all of your help.

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

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 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'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.

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

Rafi was amazing at helping me pass my driving test. I delayed taking my test for years and he made sure I was 100% ready and confident to pass first time! Thank you Rafi.

I passed my test first time. Rafi was really great to work with, we set a goal of passing this year, he coached me to drive and do the test when I felt ready. He is a brilliant instructor and helped me build confidence in my own ability. Would 100% recommend Rafi as an instructor

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.

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 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 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!!

My instructor Rafi was fantastic. Lessons were fun and enjoyable too. I passed first time and I don't think I could have done it without Rafi. The office staff were also very pleasant on the few occasions I needed to speak to them too.

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.

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 was blessed to have worked with Mr Rafi as he helped me to adapt my driving skills to the UK requirements in just a few weeks of practice. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. We also had great fun as he was very calm, commented on mistakes in a very polite and patient way. “Well done”, - as he used to say so I’m saying this to him now that I passed the test first time! Thank you!

Rafi was great ! Very friendly but also firm when I made a mistake which is the perfect balance. He keeps the car clean and is always on time. I passed the practical test on the first attempt with him !

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!

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.
