I have to start saying that Chris has been my 4th instructor and the best with a difference!
His way of teaching is amazing, setting up a simple routine that you will always follow to develop good driving skills, creating, therefore, a safe environment to make you feel comfortable and without fear of the road.
I just did 14h of driving lessons (after 2 years without driving, so starting from 0) and passed the exam successfully. He always believes in you and that feeling grows within you.
Thank you so much for your time and effort and for your always positive reassurance and good vibes!
Please, keep it up!

A very happy pupil!!! =)

Thank you for helping me pass after just 15 hours, now I can go and buy my own car!

I am an older driver and thanks to Chris I was able to pass with relative ease and can now begin to drive at the young age of 45! Thanks for everything Chris.

I never thought I would pass but thanks to Chris I was able to pass both first time and with only two minors which was even better.

Was given my Mathias number from a friend and thanks to his teaching I passed first time and with only one minor after 16 hours.

I never thought I would pass but thanks to Mathias I was able to get my confidence up and pass first time in just 22 hours.

I lost my licence two years ago but after just 5 hours of lessons Chris got me up to scratch and ready for my test again.

Amazing instructor and the best teacher I have ever had!

Fantastic teacher who alwas put me first and came with detailed lessons plans. Thank you for all of your help Mathias and I will recommend you to anyone.

INcredibly friendly and the best person that you could ask to teach you.

Better than I could have asked, great teaching style with great techniques when it came to acing my manoeuvres.

Can't thank Mathias enough, such a nice guy and amazing driving instructor. Just passed my driving test 1st time with 3 minors!

I am so happy to have passed my driving test and thanks to Mathias help I am now a confident driver and can drive to uni when it starts!

I had a great time learning with Mathias, he is a brilliant instructor and would recommend him to anyone.

Thanks for everything Chris, great instructor and I had a great time learning to drive with you.

Thank you for all of your help Mathias, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and if you need to pass on a deadline make sure you learn with Drive Johnson and Mathias.

I want to thank Chris for being amazing and for every hour he spent teaching me a skill I know I will use for the rest of my life. I started my driving experience with him and this made passing my test just that much better, knowing that we had been on that journey together. He explained things clearly and helped build my confidence when driving and in life. During every lesson I would receive constructive feedback and in the lessons leading up to my test we would discuss what my weaker areas were and focus on tackling those within the lesson. He really makes the effort to build relationships with his students, and from day one you know he believes in you and your ability to succeed. I’ve now passed my test but I will miss our little chats. I’m proud to say I was his student.

I started learning with Chris at the start of February and today I passed my test first time with 1 minor fault, in an area I was not familiar with at all (Tolworth).

At the start I was incredibly nervous but as I worked more and more on following his taught routine and my confidence and ability very quickly grew.

I looked forward to my lessons every week as it was always a good laugh. Chris is very easy to get on with and always up for a chat whilst teaching.

A massive thanks to Chris for all his patience over the whole process. I'm sure I'll hear him shouting "turn apon a turn" in my head every time I take a sharp bend from now on.

So grateful that Chris went above and beyond to ensure that I passed my test. He is competent, a great teacher and friendly instructor. The best!

I loved my lessons and thank you for all of your help, now I am proud to say that I am able to drive!

Test tip of the month for Purley

If you stall on your test, try not to panic. You won't fail for stalling the car, but you may fail for how you deal or cope with the stall. For example, if you stall, panic and let the car roll back you will fail. If you stall, secure the car with footbrake or handbrake, restart and move away safely you will receive just a driving fault.

Useful driving test tip for Purley

When you approach junctions, keep checking until you've decided to go. If the junction is blind, try leaning forward and moving your head as if watching a tennis match. If it's blind, don't be afraid to wind the window down to try and hear anything while you are creeping out to improve your view.
