Best Driving Instructor I have had, explained all the elements needed not just to pass the test but be a successful driver.
Ari is simply the best instructor. My son came to Ari for rescue after failed his 1st test. He learnt more in one lesson with Ari than several of the lessons with his previous teacher and passed with a single minor fault. Thank you Ari!!
After learning with another driving school and failing my test twice, I switched to drive johnsons and was partnered with Samira. She is a fantastic instructor and because of her I was able to pass on my first attempt with her and I only had four minors on my test.
Couldn't recommend Susanna more. I was very nervous and she helped me build up my confidence so I passed first time!
Ari's teaching style is outstanding. He thoroughly explained complex manoeuvres and provided useful tips for navigating London's busy roads. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.
I had a great experience learning to drive with Ari. He is a very patient and flexible instructor, and his advice about the test and the routes was incredibly useful to me. I passed my test at the first attempt after a 20 hour intensive course with Ari, can definitely recommend this.
I passed first time with zero fault with Samira, who is very kind and helpful. Thank you!
Learning to drive with Ari was a pleasure. His calm and supportive approach helped me overcome my nerves. He was always attentive and focused on my progress throughout the lessons.
Samira is professional and a skillful instructor who always seeks to get things right. She is very familiar with all the test routes. I highly recommend her to future learners. Many thanks to Samira for helping me to acquire my licence.
Samira is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She is a brilliant driving instructor who makes you feel comfortable and builds up your confidence. Thank you for always believing in me and motivating me!
I highly recommend learning with Samira for the best driving experience!
Best instructor ever!
Domenico is a great instructor and I will make sure all off my friends learn with him!
Delighted to pass my test on the first go and all thanks to Samira. She really goes over on all the ways to pass. If you are struggling on a manoeuvre or couple, Samira will go over until you can successfully fulfill the standard manoeuvre. Definitely recommend.

Ari is genuinely a great instructor. I really appreciated his calm demeanour and his ability to tailor the sessions to my needs. He helped me to pass first time.
Learning to drive with Hojjat was a pleasure. He was punctual, professional, and had a calm demeanour. His attention to detail and focus on safety were remarkable.
Im still in shock that I passed after booking a short notice test. If it wasn't for Domenicos teaching then I definitely would have failed. What a way to start the year.
Samira Jami id truly an excellent teacher. She is so lovely & incredibly good at her job. Highly recommend taking lessons with her as she will help you pass the first time.

I failed 1st time on Part 3, then DJ recommended Ari. His guidance and advice did the trick and I passed right away. Truly appreciate your support and professionalism Ari. Can’t thank you enough. Thank you very much.
Samira is great instructor. She is incredibly calm and patient and has great reference points for people who are learning for the first time. After only a couple of lessons, I’m already feeling much more confident and looking forward to my next lesson!

Hojjat is an amazing driving instructor. He was attentive, gave constructive feedback, and tailored my lessons to my progress. I felt well-prepared and confident when I took my driving test.
Brilliant instructor, I never woud have passed if it was;t for all of your tips and tricks - thanks for making us a confident driver!
Very happy with my instructor experience, passed first time with her. Good
Communication and smooth teaching process.
Samira is the best instructor in Barnet and I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for all of her help and brilliant teaching.
I passed my driving test FIRST TIME with Samira! She is excellent at what she does; a very thorough, natural teacher and an obvious expert on the test routes. I was not an easy student (!) but Samira made sure to go over tricky areas several times until I’d fully understood everything that I needed to do/look out for. Top instructor. Thank you so much!
I am speechless at how good Domenico was at teaching. I had lessons with another driving school and they were no where near as structured or as detailed as these, if you want to pass make sure you learn with the best!
Not sure where to start with .
“Meeting Ari was a turning point in my life. Without his guidance and unwavering belief in me, I couldn’t have achieved what I have today. Ari’s positive feedback and wealth of knowledge were invaluable in helping me change my job and believe in myself. He is a truly remarkable individual, and I highly recommend anyone seeking personal or professional growth to meet him. Thank you, Ari, for making a profound difference in my life!”
I’ve passed part 2 first time with all Aris help
I had a great experience learning to drive with Hojjat. His calm and friendly demeanour made me feel comfortable from day one. He provided valuable tips and tricks that helped me become a better driver.
Couldn't ask for a better teacher, every lesson developed on the last and we focused on areas that I found difficult, great structure and great instructor.
I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Hojjat. He was friendly, patient and made me feel at ease throughout the lessons. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in London.
Hojjat is an excellent driving instructor with great communication skills. He explained complex concepts simply and understandably. I owe my success in passing my driving test to his guidance.
I recently passed my driving test in Barnet thanks to Ari. Ari is a very highly experienced driving instructor and will prepare you not only to pass the test, but to drive confidently. He is teaching you every little detail and on the test day you are completely ready! Highly recommended ,thanks Ari
I just want to say a huge thank you to my instructor Ari for helping me pass my ADI part 2 driving test with only one minor at the first attempt. His guidance, support and training have been so professional.I am very glad that I came across to you. Would highly recommend him.
Learning to drive with Hojjat was a positive and rewarding experience. His teaching methods were effective, and he patiently explained difficult manoeuvres. I'm thankful for his guidance throughout my lessons.

As you emerge out of the first few T-Junctions, be sure to forward lean if cars are blocking your view and control the car slowly with the clutch and brake. Keep your heading looking both ways regularly, as if you are watching a tennis match.
Susanna Fox - driving instructor in Barnet
A nice little tip that should serve you well is that whenever the examiner gives you a direction, you will inevitably have to check your mirrors. If they say, “Next road on the left”, check the interior and left door mirrors. If they say, “At the roundabout, follow the road ahead”, check your interior mirror as you will need to slow down and know what’s behind you.

Our best advice would be to just try and relax. It's completely normal to feel nervous before your first driving lesson. Our instructors will be expecting this and will do their best to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable during your lesson.
You can rest assured that you're in capable hands with our driveJohnson's instructors. They have years of experience and have taught people of many different abilities to learn to drive. During your first lessons you will be taken on some of the quieter roads in Barnet to get you used to driving and familiar with the car.
We want to make learning to drive as easy as possible for you, that's why we do our best to accommodate to your needs and fit into your busy schedules. Our driving instructors are more than happy to pick you up and drop you off at a location of your choice thats local to the area. For example, if you would like to start your driving lesson in Enfield where you work and finish in Barnet where you live, it's no problem.
The driving test pass rate does tend to be lower for most areas inside of London, be it due to the more complicated junctions, busier traffic or just more crazy drivers.
Living in London, there are several test centres that you can take your test at not too far away. Your driving instructor will plan to familiarise you with the test routes at your chosen test centre beforehand, so you may well find you have driving lessons in Borehamwood, Barnet or Enfield if you have booked your test at a test centre there.
When taking driving lessons in Barnet, you will begin by starting in quiet areas like North Finchley Leisure Park, which offer a nice open space for you to practice the basics. As you progress and your confidence grows, you will find yourself on roads near where you begin your lessons with busier roads being taken.
As you continue to progress and develop, you will find yourself leaving Barnet and driving around London and other areas. Some interesting locations to look out for include Hampstead Heath, Royal Air Force Museum London and potentially Wembley Stadium.
Yes, you can. We have many pregnant women take their driving lessons with us every year who go on to successfully pass their driving tests. No one wants to get on the bus with a pushchair and 10 bags of shopping! Find out more about taking driving lessons when pregnant and taking the driving test.
