Passed my test a week ago with this instructor, he is honestly the more decent guy & a fantastic teacher! Don’t hesitate about booking with him

I had such a great experience learning to drive with Sadia. She was incredibly patient and supportive, helping me through every step of the process. Even when I struggled or doubted myself, she gave me the push I needed to keep going and improve. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test with confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive ❤️

It was a fantastic experience learning with Sadia. She was so confident and that confidence rubbed off onto me, and with every lesson, I just felt more and more confident. Thank you for helping me to pass.

I recently passed my practical driving test. My instructor was the best instructor in the whole world, SADIA NASIR, and I am very pleased with the experience. Mrs Sadia is an exceptional driving instructor who combines professionalism with a friendly and supportive teaching style.
I highly recommend Sadia Nasir to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, making the entire learning process smooth and effective.

Thank you, Mrs Sadia, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!

I had the best time learning with driveJohnson's and Sadia Nasir. She was straightforward to talk to and learn from, and I can't thank her enough. It is thanks to her that I passed without any minor faults.

My son has been doing lessons for around 2 months with drive johnsons. He loves his lessons and always impresses me with the amount he has learnt in each of his 2 hour lessons. I feel that I chose the best place, and will certainly recommend them to others needing lessons.

Sadia is top instructor! I am so glad I got taught by her, very paciente and understanding definitely made me feel comfortable and with her help and support I managed to Pass my driving test so congrats to you as well Sadia!

Wish you all the best x

Sadia is a professional, friendly, supportive and patient instructor. She focused on my success and helped me get over my nervousness and lack of confidence after failing my first test with a different instructor. Thank you so much!

Tom is a really good instructor. Supportive, calm, friendly and patient. He is flexible to date and time changes. He was my wife's instructor as well. Both of us passed first time. I would recommend him to anybody looking to start driving lessons. Thank you very much Tom

Just passed my driving test with Tommy, top guy and quality instructor. Cheers Thomas.

When first starting lessons I went with automatic because it seemed easier and I wasn’t confident that I would be able to drive a manual. A few years later and I decided to take it really serious and commit to lessons and that. I called them and the girl on the phone said to give manual a try first as you have more freedom. I took 35 hours and went for my test, passed with 6 minors and couldn’t be happier with the result

Thank you Tom! Great instructor

Amazing experience!🫶
Sadia is perfect instructor, friendly and with a lot of patience(I admire her for that).
If you afraid of driving - go to Sadia, she will make you a good and confident driver!😁🫶 She made me to pass the test of the first time!
Thank you, my dear!🫶 I will miss you🫶

I passed my test today. I could not have done it without Sadia. She helped me calm my nerves and trust my instincts. Before, I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but you helped me become more relaxed and a safer driver. I have your voice in my head directing and guiding me throughout the test which helped😂. I wanna say thanks again for all your support!!

Really good school to use, they have a lot of flexibility and are really easy going. I have had 3 instructors with driveJohnson’s because of moving areas and all of them have been amazing.

I failed my test 8 times over 2 years, and thought I should probably change my instructor to see if I could improve. I called drivejohnsons and they booked me in for the same week, the instructor came & told me where I was going wrong in my first lesson. Now I have my test next month, and I’m really confident about being 9th time lucky!!!

Ive been driving in India for 9 yrs and need to pass UK test. The instruction is good and I dont feel like my money is been wasted. I had my test this morning and I passed 4 minors.

Learning to drive with Lubna has been a great experience and I enjoyed every lesson. Lubna helped me build up my confidence and driving skills quickly and I passed first time!

10/10 service from Thomas and the staff at drivejohnsons. Top driving instructor and would highly recommend. Cheers!

Thank you to my amazing driving instructor Kulvinder who helped me pass first time! Kulvinder was my 3rd driving instructor and was definitely by far the best! Thank you Kulvinder.

Top driving instructor, passed after 20 hours with Rahmat. Cheers

Great instructor, found a way to communicate and made good progress along with a few laughs whilst at it.

Thank you Sadia

Sadia is an excellent instructor, she is very motivated, professional, caring, funny, warm and knowledgeable. She leads me to pass exam very easy. She build up my self-esteem and confidence on the road, she brought lots of positivity into my live. I will miss her so so so much

Thank you
Sadia

Sending you lots of love ❤️ 😍 💖

Loved my lessons with Thomas, they were very informative, well structured and enjoyable! Thomas is really knowledgable and definitely knows his stuff, if you're looking for driving lessons I would highly recommend Thomas.

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

I couldn’t recommend Sadia enough. She is a wonderful instructor who is very patient with all aspects in your lessons. She supported me and did everything she could to accommodate me and my personal life to give lessons and support I needed. Boosting my confidence even when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you Sadia

Thanks to Hamid I just passed my driving test 1st time with 3 minors !! Brilliant driving instructor !

Loved every minute of learning to drive with Janet and learnt so much faster than I thought I would. Was test ready after 30 hours and passed 1st time with 0 minors, cant believe it! Thank you so much Janet!! x

My daughter just finished learning to drive with Thomas and passed her test first time. We couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor for her. He was reliable, trustworthy and made her feel comfortable from the first lesson. Will be recommending him to all of my friends!

Great time learning with Sadia Nasir. She helped me to pass, and now I can't wait to go on all the road trips I can!

Sadia is a great instructor, and she helped me to achieve my goal of learning to drive. I couldn't have done this without her.

Mohammed is the best driving instructor around, would recommend him to anyone. Thanks mate!

Tom was a great instructor. He was very patient at the start and gave me excellent advice and teaching so I was able to pass my test first time. Would highly recommend.

I was really struggling with learning to drive a manual car. Then I decided to switch to Shadia and an automatic, and my experience completely changed. I became so much more confident and even passed on my first attempt.

Tom is absolutely lovely teacher! He is trying all he can that you would learn and pass your exam! Massive Thank You to Tom for giving me useful lessons and patience during this time !

Sadia is super supportive and reassuring! In every lesson you can see her desire to see you succeed. A great instructor

I had a great time learning with Sadia. She is the best instructor in Goodmayes by far.

I passed my practical driving test today! I just want to give the biggest thank you to my instructor Sadia. Not only has she taught me how to drive and be a safe driver on the road. She has also taught me self-confidence which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. She’s very patient and supportive and she will be your biggest cheerleader. Thank you so much!

10/10 service from the office & the instructor, can’t recommend them enough.

Sadia is an amazing instructor. She’s very patient, supportive and encouraging. She answered every question I had and made my driving experiences very fun and relaxing. Honestly the best instructor ever, thank you for making me pass :))

After taking just 27 hours I passed with 1 minor – I’m buzzing and can’t believe how simple they made it for me!

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

Sadia is a great instructor, thoroughly professional and yet very personable. She works around a specific pupil’s needs and that makes her lessons highly efficient. Me and my wife both took lessons with her, we highly recommend her!

I learnt to drive with Sadia and passed first time with only one minor!
I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with her. She was professional as well as friendly. She made learning an enjoyable experience for me.

Sadia is definitely by far the most loving and supportive instructor. She is very understanding and is very honest. I passed with her on my first time and I’m forever grateful I passed with her. Every question I had, she answered and she will always correct you if you’re wrong. She is THE BEST!!!

I’d like to thank Sadia for being a fabulous teacher. From the beginning Sadia was super friendly, supportive & patient. We had great conversations laughs whilst learning which made every lesson enjoyable. I’d like to thank Sadia for helping me pass, super grateful.

Lessons were banging, I always enjoyed it and my instructor knew I had to get it done quick. Made the right choice in going to these guys

I had an outstanding experience with Tom, who played a pivotal role in my success in passing the driving test on my first attempt. From the very first lesson, he demonstrated not only a deep understanding of driving techniques but also a patient and encouraging demeanor that immediately put me at ease. Their ability to communicate complex maneuvers in a clear and concise manner made the learning process enjoyable and comprehensible. One of the standout qualities of Tom is their unwavering patience. No question was too small or insignificant, and each query was met with a thorough and thoughtful explanation. The detailed reviews after each session gave me clear understanding on the faults I made and helped me prepare myself for the next session. Thanks to Tom, I feel well-equipped to navigate the roads safely and confidently. I highly recommend Tom to anyone in search of an exceptional driving instructor. Thank you for making my learning experience enjoyable!

Thanks Thomas for making it possible for me to pass my driving test first time, couldnt have done it without you.

Tom is unquestionably an excellent teacher. He has taught me how to drive responsibly and safely with the help of his instruction and patience. He really makes us feel at ease, and I am grateful for the support, confidence, and trust he brings. I'd suggest Tom wholeheartedly.
- Thank you Tom

Test tip of the month for Goodmayes

If you notice the examiner marking something on the marking sheet, don't panic! There are other elements of the test that they need to mark, which doesn't mean you have received a recorded fault. They have to mark down when a manoeuvre, hill start, angled moving off, and more are completed.

Useful driving test tip for Goodmayes Show more

Useful driving test tip for Goodmayes

A classic question is, what happens if you go the wrong way on your test? The answer is not a lot. Just try to do it safely, and you will be fine. Many learners will swerve at short notice, realising they are in the wrong lane and fail for the changing lanes part. If the examiner can see you have time to get into the correct lane, they may repeat the instruction or use hand signals. They won't repeat or re-enforce the direction if it isn't safe or there isn't enough time. You will not receive a driving fault for safely going in the wrong direction on your test.
