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.

I really enjoyed driving with Rafi! He’s supportive and motivating and this gives me great confidence. I passed with one minor! Thanks 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!

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

I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Rafi. As well as being a fantastic instructor, he is a very positive person. He has the perfect balance between being tough and being patient, which makes him a great person to learn from. Thanks to Rafi, I was able to pass my driving test after just a couple of months.

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 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 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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

I'd like to thank him for helping me pass my test with three minors. He was nice enough to explain things over and over again for me and helped me a lot in avoiding mistakes in driving.

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.

Outstanding instructor -passed 1st time. Rafi is a veteran instructor that organised a test and helped me to pass in just 3 weeks! He knows all the common mistakes that new drivers make and will fine-tune your driving so that you are confidant and safe on the road. He his a professional who I would highly recommend.

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!!

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 such a great instructor! He is very professional, patient and polite and I always looked forward to all of my lessons!

His method of teaching is brilliant and he gives really beneficial tips, tricks and advice to remember manoeuvres and techniques.

He always highlighted what I did well during and at the end of my lessons, which helped increase my confidence on the road, and I was always able to ask him anything if I was unsure, even if that meant him repeating himself - he didn't mind at all. He would also focus on my areas for improvement which we would aim to perfect in the next and future lessons.

He is always optimistic and reassured me in the lead up to my test. He had much confidence in me that I would pass first time, and I did very recently with only 3 minor faults! I would highly recommend Rafi to anyone wanting to learn to drive!

Thank you very much Rafi! :)

Rafi supported me through my driving journey so patiently and with a very positive attitude. He encourages you to ask more and more questions, and doesn’t mind repeating himself. I passed my test in Yeading test centre with 6 minor faults. Thank you Rafi!!

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

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.

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

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!!

“Success is something that comes with a lot of hard work and patience”... My experience with Rafi has definitely consolidated this cliché. He has been great with helping me get my driving license through hard work and lots of advice both on and off the road. He is a great person and I am glad to call a true friend!

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.

I had an excellent experience with my driving instructor. He has been incredibly supportive and patient throughout my lessons, making the entire process much easier and more enjoyable. His calm demeanor and never raising his voice helped me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. His teaching style is clear and effective, always providing constructive feedback in a positive manner. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and encouraging driving instructor.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great help from rafi, supported me all the way and guided me to pass. He tought me everything and eventually had great success in passing!!

"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"

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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.

Im glad that I had Mr Rafi!
Truly best mentor & instructor in the world, he teaches me motivation and believe in myself, and teach how to successfully behave on the road! Today i have passed exam with only 2 small mistakes ?


Mr Rafi stay coool
Coool on the road???

Many thanks Karolina Sybicka

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.

Such a great instructor and amazing teacher. When I started I was not at all sure but slowly and steadily Rafi help build my confidence. And here I am passed with flying colours. I am so glad I did it and all thanks to Rafi.
Highly recommend him if you are looking for a a great teacher and mentor.
Thanks Rafi and wish you best in life ?

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 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

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.

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.
