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.

Absolutely fantastic driving experience and instructor. Shout out to Rafi who was an amazing instructor and helped me get by in the short time I had. Fantastic honestly !!!

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

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

Rafi was an absolutely brilliant teacher. He is very patient and had so many good tips to help you with manoeuvres and roundabouts etc. He always tried to go above and beyond when accommodating his students and clearly cares a lot about his students success. He is never sharp with his tone and is always positive when telling your what you need to improve on. This is why I feel he is such a good teacher. If you want an instructor with amazing experience then you should use Rafi.
Thanks to his guidance I passed first time!

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.

THANK YOU RAFI! I have passed with 2 minors after learning with Mr Rafi for 2 months. He is an outstanding instructor, with great patience but did not sugar coat things, and helped me to reach my goal realistically. Our lessons were productive and enjoyable, I have learned a lot from Rafi. He is a great mentor, not only with driving matters but with life in general. I cannot recommend Rafi enough!

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 : )

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.

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!

Rafi is such an amazing instructor, he never gave up on my driving even though I’m very impatient. He thought me how to drive from scratch and was very supportive. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

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!

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.

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.

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

M.Rafi is the best instructor one can hope for. I had quit learning to drive 4 times before I met Rafi. He instilled the confidence in me that I can do it. In the very first lesson he identified what my positives and negatives are and planned future lessons accordingly. He was very clear with his instructions and communication. He saw the areas of improvement in each lesson, made a note of it and helped me work on it. He was very thorough and organized. He was always on time to pick me up for the lesson and no time was wasted during the lesson. He has great mentoring and teaching skills. He is a very gifted teacher. He has a natural ability to make you feel at ease.
He prepares us very well to take the test. Videos, questions and helps practising a skill until we get it right.

I consider myself very lucky to have had an instructor like Rafi. He has been so calm and patient with me. He has taught me a life changing skill and I owe all that I have learnt to him.
I wish Rafi all the best in everything he takes up. I totally recommend him - especially for those who are not confident and are scared to drive.

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! :)

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

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!

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

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.

For the past 6 months Rafi has not only taught me how to drive but also taught me valuable life lessons. He’s an excellent instructor with so much passion and patience. He never got tired of showing me the same things if I have forgotten and always believed in me till the very end. Even on the day of my exam I still didn’t believe in myself but Rafi knew deep inside that I would pass and I passed first attempt with only 4 minors. He always sent me links and video clips to help me along!

Don’t think about it, just book with Rafi you will never regret your decision!

Thank you Rafi for your patience, pearls of wisdom and Tony Robbins’ style inspirational speeches over the last 7 months. I’ll miss our chats about the world “it’s gone bananas”. Above all, thanks for helping me pass first time!

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.

Bosid Karim

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.

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!!

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

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

Rafi is an exceptional instructor, displaying remarkable patience and a unique ability to adapt his teaching to suit each individual's needs. I successfully passed my driving test with just two minors, and I am profoundly grateful for his unwavering commitment and dedication to teaching.

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 .

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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

Today I passed my driving test 1st time with Rafi. I’ve never met an instructor that cares for their students the way Rafi does. When you’re at your lowest, he will always pick you back up. His support was amazing, he taught me so much and for that I’ll forever be grateful.

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 !

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

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.

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 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

"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"

Test tip of the month for Southall

When doing the forward bay park, the examiner will ask you to drive forward into any bay. Driving forwards into a bay with parked cars is tricky, so try to avoid doing it next to parked cars or at least do it next to just one parked car.

Useful driving test tip for Southall

Taking a mock test leading up to your driving test is a great way to practice the pressure and get a rough idea of how ready you are for your test. If you are getting 102 serious faults two weeks before your test, consider having a few extra hours. If you can't pass the mock test, how will you pass on the day of the actual test?

Frequently asked questions...

Can I have automatic driving lessons in Southall?

Yes, you can. We have some fantastic instructors offering automatic driving lessons in Southall and surrounding areas. Whether you want to jump straight into automatic lessons or would like to switch from manual, we can help you. Our automatic driving instructors in Southall will help build up your confidence on the roads and have you passed in no time.

What can I expect when learning to drive in Southall?

The prospect of driving in London areas like Southall can be quite daunting for many, but there's no need to worry - our driving instructors won't throw you in at the deep end expecting you to be able to drive amazingly at the start. Instead, you'll begin your driving lessons in one of the quieter areas like the neighbouring area of Greenford. Queens Avenue/Princes Avenue and Portland Crescent are much wider than those in Southall, making learning the basics like pulling away from and stopping by the side of the road much easier, as well as completing manoeuvres like the parallel park as there are often parked cars in these areas.

After about 2-6 hours driving in the quieter areas, depending on how quickly you pick it up, you'll start to cover the roads and junctions that will be included in your driving test. These roads include The Parkway, the A40 and Southall High Street. These roads will require you to deal with large, multi-lane roundabouts and complex junctions, where good lane discipline and some local knowledge are essential to driving well, particularly the busy White Hart Roundabout which has 4 lanes and 5 exits!

You can rest assured that our driving instructors are all fully qualified and experienced in the area. They know the best and worst areas to drive in and will cover everything that will come up on your driving test in-depth, so there are no surprises on your driving test day!
