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

Still can't believe I passed at the first time. It was a long and painful journal, but I finally archived it with Rafi's great help. Much appreciated!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!*

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 .

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Very thorough and detailed; helpful and instructional; meticulous; experienced. Thank you.

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.

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.

My first instructor, helped me pass first time. And I’m his first Uzbek 🇺🇿 learner.

It was really enjoyable journey, recommend him to anyone

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 .

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

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

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!!

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 am an experienced driver but new to the UK - and Mr. Rafi was able to adapt and tune the lessons to my skill level and teach me the things I needed to learn and understand, and these focused lessons helped me pass my driving test on the very first attempt! Super grateful, top stuff and whole-heartedly recommend!

Rafi has been an excellent instructor. I started off very nervous after having tried driving lessons (and not progressing) almost ten years earlier and Rafi managed to give me my confidence back. I passed first time. He is honest and really helped me to identify and focus on areas of development and pushed me to achieve a first time pass with only 2 minors. Full credit to Rafi for getting me through it!

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!

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 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.

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

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 !

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!

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!

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!

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 ???

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

Mr Rafi helped me build my confidence, be a vigilant and safe driver. He is extremely supportive and a blessing to learn from. Passed in southall test centre with 5 minors.

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

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

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.
