I will miss my lessons with Ahmad, talking about everything whilst still learning. Choosing Ahmad as an instructor is almost guaranteed to get you a pass if you listen to him and take on what he says. Thank you for everything 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 had a great time learning to drive with Abdul. He created a supportive and relaxed environment, which helped me feel comfortable during the lessons. His encouragement motivated me to succeed.

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!

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 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 was a great instructor and I passed my test first time. He quickly moves you on to the next level and suggests you book your test as soon as you are ready. Friendly and chatty but always 100% focused on what you are doing.

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.

Abdul's teaching style is outstanding. He broke down complex manoeuvres into manageable steps, making them easier to grasp. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn to drive in London.

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

I am so glad I had Ahmad to teach me to learn to drive. He is very friendly and nice, very knowledgable, calm and patient. I am not a naturally good driver, but Ahmad got me from almost always stalling at the traffic lights (when I started) to passing and getting complimented in my driving test and passing with only 1 minor. I enjoyed our chat (we had lots of good chats) and his sense of humour. I would recommend Ahmad to anyone, he is the best instructor, and a lovely person.

I am so happy to have passed my test today and thanks to Hassan I can now go on roadtrips and see what other parts of the country are like.

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

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!

Very fun chats,and good at calming my nerves! Very flexible with hours and considerate.

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.

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!

From begining, ABDUL MASUD demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and expertise. No matter it is heavy raining or heavy hot weather, he consistently arrived on time, was well-prepared, and maintained a positive and encouraging attitude throughout our sessions. This made a significant difference in my learning experience.

ABDUL MASUD provided clear and concise instructions that helped me understand and master various driving skills. He was always patient, especially when I was struggling with pull up to the right maneuvers, and offered constructive feedback that corrected my mistake.He ensured that I was well-versed in all necessary safety protocols and was quick to correct any mistakes, ensuring a safe learning environment at all times.

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 fee truly blessed to have had Ahmad as my driving instructor. Having not driven for almost 7 years since getting my full license, I was apprehensive to return to driving again, as I wasn’t sure how quickly I’d adjust. Thankfully, Ahmad’s clear and calm approach meant that I felt so comfortable, I settled into driving again much sooner than I’d anticipated. Ahmad is a great communicator and super reliable as well as knowledgeable. He is the best instructor to learn from for a reason !! He knows the roads, is amazing at explaining things and will never let you make a mistake without having the opportunity to correct it. I feel more confident now than ever before and I know he will always be here for me if I need him. I would 100% recommend learning to drive with Ahmad.

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!

Abdul is a highly skilled and knowledgeable driving instructor. He explained complex concepts in a simple manner, making it easier for me to understand. I highly recommend him for driving lessons in London.

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!

I took refresher courses with Ahmad a few years after passing my driving test to restore my confidence on the road.

Ahmad is simply fantastic as an instructor - he's attentive, great to talk to, and has practical and easily memorable tips that I can take away with me as I drive out in the world on my own. He's done wonders to restore my confidence in (and enjoyment of) driving and taught me a lot.

I highly recommend him, and wish him all the best in the future!

I passed first time with Ahmad who I think is a fantastic instructor. He's friendly, chatty and puts you at ease, which is important when navigating tricky situations on city roads. But at the same time he's always completely on the ball when it comes to your driving. His feedback is focused, constructive and kind, plus his tips and visual references were a great help during my test. Thanks Ahmad!

Ahmad is an amazing teacher. Every lesson was such a joy. He is calm and reassuring, and I felt like I could actually make mistakes, get feedback, learn and improve, while enjoying the whole process. Ahmad is an excellent driver, and could notice the slightest mistakes in my driving and instantly deliver feedback in such a way that I never felt bad. I passed the exam the first time with a couple minors after 2 months of lessons, and more importantly, feel very confident on the road while driving.

Hassan is an amazing instructor and he was great at braking down the issues that i had and helped to make me a confident driver who can tackle any situation.

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.

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

Abdul is an excellent driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. He provided constructive feedback and tailored the lessons to focus on my weaknesses. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test confidently.

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

Hossain is a fantastic driving instructor who will help you pass quickly and build up your driving confidence, I'd recommend him to anyone!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Ahmad was extremely patient and friendly on all of our lessons. He made sure that I had enough experience with all of the manoeuvres, junctions, roundabouts and dual carriageways that I would encounter in day to day driving and on the test route. I passed my test using all of the knowledge and tips that Ahmad provided on our lessons. Thank you!

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.

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!

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 on my first attempt after having lessons with Ahmad. He was very patient and assertive when giving me feedback, giving me instructions that I could quickly incorporate into my driving and increased my confidence.

It was a pleasure to have him as my instructor, not only because he’s great at his job, but also because he’s nice and has got very good chat!

Ahmad taught my Son Daniel, who had previous experience of an instructor who was not up to standard and quite rude and negative. Ahmad showed professionalism and enthusiasm in teaching my Son. Very personable and knowledgeable. A good communicator.
Taught my Son well and showed confidence in him. My Son Daniel passed his test at Wanstead this morning.
Thank you very much Ahmad. I certainly recommend you to anyone who needs a compassionate and knowledgeable Instructor.

I had an exceptional experience learning to drive with Ahmad. From the very start, he made me feel at ease, offering clear guidance and consistent support throughout every lesson. Ahmad’s calm and patient approach helped me build confidence behind the wheel, and his thorough feedback was invaluable in refining my skills. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made every lesson enjoyable, and I always looked forward to our sessions. Thanks to his expert teaching, I passed my test first time. I highly recommend Ahmad to anyone looking for a top-notch instructor.

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

I had an outstanding experience with Ahmad as my driving instructor. From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He was always friendly and a joy to talk to. Ahmad has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable behind the wheel, He provided clear instructions, constructive feedback, and practical tips that significantly improved my driving skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor.

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.

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.

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.

Hassan is an absolutely amazing instructor, he always kept me nice and calm when I was learning to drive and thanks to him I was able to pass my test on my first attempt after just 26 hours of lessons with not a single minor.
