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.

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!!

Had an amazing experience and was able to pass on my first test due to the excellent teaching I was taught by my instructor! Definitely recommend.

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

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.

Highly recommend Rafi he is patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel at ease behind the wheel. Their clear instructions and helpful tips boosted my confidence and prepared me perfectly for the driving test. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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!

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 such a great instructor he's honest, patient and reliable, all the good qualities you need from your instructor and through him teaching me I was able to pass first time with one minor!

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.

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

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

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 ameri is fantastic instructor ever and also has a pure lovely heart that you can trust .I remember the first time I met him I was in very bad situation in my life ,he gave me support and explained to me how to continue and move forward .he became a friend to me I can tell him what I feel and think .he teached me how to drive well ,safe and confident on the road.Thanks God I met him as I passed first time 2 minners and now I am looking for a first car to drive .

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.

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!

Mr Rafi is a fantastic instructor he has helped me get my licence

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

Amazing mentor, only done 3 months of lessons and passed 🙌

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 has been the most amazing instructor I could ever ask for. His ambition and positivity kept me going in stressful situations. He is able to keep you calm and provide good guidance without 'interfering' with your driving/journey. Rafi provided me with not only the best driving skills, but a much more positive outlook on life in general. He is a great individual, and I am sad to have passed and be leaving lessons with him.

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.

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.

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.

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

It was really enjoyable journey, recommend him to anyone

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

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 a legend.

I had zero experience and he taught me to pass first time.

Very professional, and driven to teach well.

? recommend!!

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.

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 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!

Raf was the best Driving instructor iv ever had he Taught me so much about the driving and about my self too so I would Recommend raf to anyone he help me past first time I still can’t can’t believe I past thank you raf for helping me : )

Rafi is one of the best instructors that I have ever met. Driving with him is fun and unforgettable. He is very confident, professional and very punctual. He put confidence in you so you can drive without hesitation. I really can’t describe how much I have learned from him and how I used to enjoy the lessons. I have passed from the first time which was the most amazing thing and credits goes to him.
Thank you

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

Im glad that I had Mr Rafi!

Coool on the road???

Many thanks Karolina Sybicka

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!!

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

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 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.

What if you're not interested into driving or not willing to drive at all? What if your husband always pushing you to drive and pay the cost of the lesson? To cut the story short i got my driving licence after 8 months of hardwork. I am really thankful to Rafi for his patience and never ending energy when it comes on our lesson. He was amazing, experienced instructor and brother to me. He never gave up on me even though I nearly giving up on myself. His positivity in life is contagious and made my confidence grow. He can be a tough instructor but the overpowering effort made me trust him moreover these days. He was a great help why I learnt to love driving. Here I am, proud of myself but I guess my husband is the proudest of what I have achieved. I gave all the credits to Rafi and I'm grateful having him as my driving instructor.. I would like to thank DriveJohnson's for giving me the most supportive and skillful instructor in the Uk. I would highly recommend Rafi to everyone that's interested to start their driving journey.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Rafi is a patient and nice instructor. I was a very nervous when start driving, but it got improved gradually with Rafi’s guidance.
I passed my test recently, without his professional advice I wouldn’t be able to pass the test within a short period of learning time.
Thank you Rafi and good luck for the future!

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 !

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.

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 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.

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.
