Ahmad is an incredible instructor!! Very patient and is exceptional in helping to correct errors and building confidence. I passed first time with all the knowledge he has given me and would recommend him to all dedicated students.

Me and my partner both decide to do lessons and get our licenses as fast as we can. I called drive jhonsons and arranged lessons for me and her, and we both got given ahmad ( who is very nice and great instructor ). If you need lessons then we must tell you that ahmad will be best instructor ever!

Top driving instructor, passed after 20 hours with Rahmat. Cheers

when I call drive johnson, they say they have good instructing in my city in london. i ask them if they can give me the best person that they have in this city and i get given ahmad. he do my lessons and i pass my test yesterday now i am ready to drive anywhere thanks to the best instructor!!

I passed first time with Ahmad. He knew exactly what I needed from the very first day. He had a lot of confidence in me and kept encouraging me.

Learning to drive with Abdul was a fantastic experience. He was professional, punctual and made each lesson enjoyable. His expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping me pass my driving test.

i could sit here and write so much about how much of an amazing instructor Ahmad is, from how gentle and patient he is to how he goes above and beyond to ensure his students completely understand the concept of how to be a safe driver. i will always be grateful for everything he has taught me and i will miss our lessons.
i will recommend him everywhere i go!

Ahmad is an amazing instructor who teaches you everything. He is extremely calm and never yells so you don't get frightened. He allows you to make mistakes, correct them and overall explains why you were wrong in a calm manner. The best instructor I have met!

Ahmad is a great instructor, very patient and thorough. He provides you with the needed confidence in order to pass. I passed first time and I was extremely satisfied with his service.

Abdul is an outstanding driving instructor in London. He was reliable, flexible with scheduling, and had a wealth of knowledge about the driving test requirements. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons.

Ahmad was an excellent driving instructor—extremely reliable and organized. He was always on time and prepared for each lesson. His friendly and professional approach made learning to drive a positive experience. Ahmad explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test 1st time. Highly recommended!

Where to start! If you are lucky enough to have Ahmed as your driving instructor, you are in safe hands. I started with him about a year ago having lost my confidence with driving. I didn’t enjoy it and never thought I’d pass. But Ahmed’s calm manner and meticulous standards meant that I grew to love driving, and passed my test first time. It was a pleasure to spend so many hours learning to drive with him, and I’ll miss our weekly car chats!

Thanks to lessons with Ahmad I passed my driving test first time. He is hard working, professional and willing to give lessons at times most instructors do not. Would recommend

An outstanding teacher who makes learning fun and cheerful. He made sure I understood everything completely and wouldn’t give up until I got it. The most patient instructor, I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive manually.

I recently took refresher lessons with Ahmad, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Even though I already had my license, I wanted to rebuild my confidence, and Ahmad was the perfect instructor for that.

He is incredibly calm and an excellent communicator, making it easy to understand what I needed to focus on without feeling overwhelmed. His approach was patient and supportive, giving me the space to ask questions and work on specific areas. Plus, he’s a great conversationalist, which made each lesson very enjoyable.

Whether you're new to driving or just looking to brush up on your skills like I was, I highly recommend Ahmad. He’ll help you feel confident and safe behind the wheel again!

Abdul's knowledge and expertise as a driving instructor are exceptional. He was patient with me, even during challenging moments, and provided constructive feedback that helped me improve my skills.

Passed first time. Ahmad made time for me and was very helpful. Very supportive and knowledgeable throughout each lesson. He was great company for all my 33hrs of lessons. Thanks again Ahmad

Ahmad was my driving instructor. He was very patient and allowed me to progress at my own pace. He was also supportive during my lessons and always gave constructive feedback when appropriate.

Abdul is a professional and experienced driving instructor. He provided a structured learning plan and ensured I had a solid foundation of driving skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons in London

Ahmad is a very talented and sensitive teacher. I was terrified of driving after having made many mistakes over 20 years ago. Ahmad slowly built my confidence methodically and thoughtfully and with great results. Thanks Ahmad. A true pedagogue :)

I am so happy to have passed, I started my lessons in December and thanks to Hassans teaching I was able to pass first time aswell.

My instruction with Ahmad was fantastic. He picked me up for the first lesson & I must have been a nervous wreck - but we drove for about 10 minutes to somewhere quieter, then he showed me the basics of moving the vehicle, and off we went! After 20 hours I had to take a break in my lessons for personal reasons, but when I resumed Ahmad was more than happy to continue with me and see me through my driving test! A very happy Hannah that shows off for taking 32 hours & passing her test 1st time with 1 minor!

Learning to drive with Abdul was a positive and rewarding experience. He was supportive, encouraging, and helped me develop good driving habits. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

Starting out my driving lessons with Ahmad was such a great experience! He is a natural teacher, down to earth, very communicative and present with you at all times. He made the learning process so easy for me, and I felt totally relaxed driving with him. As I just started out and I'm leaving the country I
now have to keep learning in my home country - but if I had been able to keep driving with Ahmad I am 1000% I would pass my test! Thanks Ahmad for being such a great teacher and for giving me the best start I could have wished for in my driving journey!

Passed in my first attempt with Ahmed after 4 failed attempts with a different instructor. Thanks a lot flexibility as well!

Learning to drive with Abdul was a pleasure. His calm and patient approach helped me overcome my nervousness. He was thorough in covering all aspects of driving, and I felt well-prepared for my test.

I took refresher lessons with Ahmad after not having driven in a while, with little to no confidence in my driving skills and utterly nervous to go back behind the wheel. Ahmad’s support, guidance and patience helped me become a better driver and restored my full confidence when driving a car. I cannot thank and recommend him enough, both to new drivers as well as to those who haven’t driven in a while and would like to refresh their knowledge in a safe, supportive environment.

Abdul is a highly professional and dedicated driving instructor. He provided me with the necessary skills and confidence to become a safe and competent driver. I'm grateful for his guidance throughout my lessons.

So far I've done about 7 hours with Ahmad. The lessons are good and I feel like I've done loads already, and he's said as well that I'll probably only need like 15 or 20 more hours before I'm ready to go for my test. Really glad I got given Ahmad and will make sure I recommend all my friends to go with him as well.

Having Hassan as an instructor was great! Learnt a lot and passed 1st time 😁

I had 10 hours of driving lessons with Ahmed in preparation for moving to the US because I wanted some manual experience. I found him to be calm and considerate allowing me to work at my own pace to become familiar with driving. I’ll keep his number incase I ever come back to the UK and need a manual driving instructor!

Ahmad is the best instructor. Honestly 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how good this man is at teaching other people how to drive.

Ahmad is one of the most caring and intelligent instructors out there. He consistently delivered with excellent teaching and feedback. Ahmad is very calm and makes driving easy and fun during his lessons. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for enthusiasm whilst learning enabling them to great success in their driving journey. Thanks to Ahmad I have past my driving test with only 2 minors.

I will always thank Drive johnson for pairing me with Hassan, he is a great instructor and I will recommend him to anyone.

wicked instructor!! i've been doing lessons ffor ages n ahmad assessed me, did another 6 hours with me n we booked the test. i passed it n that wouldnt of been possible if it werent for ahmad!! sound guy, easy lessons and prices were decent.

I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Abdul. He was always professional, patient, and ensured that I understood each concept thoroughly. His expertise and guidance were invaluable.

Ahmad is a great instructor he is friendly and makes you feel very calm. Every single lesson I have had with him has
Been great and I have built so much confidence driving thanks to Ahmad. If ur looking for a top instructor I highly recommend him!

I want to thank Hassan as he has helped me to pass my test whilst at Uni and I am over the moon to have passed with an expert instructor.

I was able to progress in each and every lesson whilst increasing my confidence level on the road. I admire how punctual he was for every lesson. He takes his job very seriously,
Overall its was a wonderful experience. I would recommend Ahmad as an instructor for anyone regardless of their driving experience.

I passed my test on my first attempt after training with Ahmad. He is a really excellent instructor who put me completely at ease, helping me grow in confidence and skill at my own pace. He took me through everything that I needed and was very encouraging. He is patient, reliable, punctual, and perceptive about where things need improvement. I also greatly appreciated his flexibility when arranging lessons.

Ahmad is also extremely personable, kind and very easy to talk to. He took a real interest in me as a person as well as a student; I could tell that he cares deeply about the whole flourishing of each of his students. I admire his dedication and the joy he clearly gets from seeing students succeed.

I can thoroughly recommend him to all students. Thank you Ahmad, it was a pleasure to learn with you!

A professional instructor who brings the best out you, builds up confidence and passion for driving. A very knowledgeable person outside of driving. A person who is an instructor and a mentor. Highly recommend anyone to learn with Ahmad.

Had a great time learning to drive with Ahmad. A very good teacher always calm and relaxed but safe. Overall just a good person that I enjoyed spending time with and am grateful for him helping me pass.

I can't thank Abdul enough for his exceptional instruction. He was patient, understanding, and always maintained a positive attitude. Learning to drive with him was a wonderful experience.

Fantastic instructor, calm and relaxed but never complacent. Lots of great conversation and non-stressful drives. Also did my pass plus with Ahmad!

I wasn't sure about using a bigger driving school because of all the things you read online, but after being let down SIX times in a row by someone else, I called driveJohnson's to book my first lesson just so I could get the ball rolling. Ahmad did my lesson and we got on like a house on fire, and now after 15 hours with him I'm looking at booking my test for next month - great instructor!
