After taking just 27 hours I passed with 1 minor – I’m buzzing and can’t believe how simple they made it for me!

Learning to drive with Lubna has been a great experience and I enjoyed every lesson. Lubna helped me build up my confidence and driving skills quickly and I passed first time!

Amazing instructor! Helped me pass 1st time.

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.

I learnt to drive with Sadia and passed first time with only one minor!
I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with her. She was professional as well as friendly. She made learning an enjoyable experience for me.

I've only had 2 lessons (2hours) so far and yet driving feels so natural. I had never driven before and couldn't imagined myself behind a wheel but thanks to Paul, I've become so much more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. He is a fantastic, relaxed, reassuring, encouraging and supportive. Highly recommend

Spent a lot of hours with Ahmad, and definitely because I wasn't confident in my driving. However, Ahmad was always present to correct my errors and point out where I could improve, even if the lessons were long and I kept repeating the mistakes over and over. I'm glad to say that I passed and I'm grateful that I had an instructor like Ahmad that enabled me to be confident not just in the test, but also in becoming a better driver.

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!

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.

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

Sadia is definitely by far the most loving and supportive instructor. She is very understanding and is very honest. I passed with her on my first time and I’m forever grateful I passed with her. Every question I had, she answered and she will always correct you if you’re wrong. She is THE BEST!!!

Ahmad is a great teacher and pedagogue. He is very patient, friendly and fun to chat with. Always a great pleasure to have lessons with him, his calmness is reassuring and he helped me to learn in a confident way. I feel very lucky that he was my instructor. Thanks to his teaching, support and great kindness, I passed my test the first time.

Paul is an excellent instructor and I've progressed immensely in my driving since beginning lessons with him - with his calm manner of teaching he's instilled me with confidence and self belief in my ability, which I didn't have when I first started my lessons with him. I'm progressing well with his teaching and looking forward to taking my test soon when a slot is available locally. Highly recommend him.

I would really appreciate Yaffa because without his patience i wouldn’t have passed my driving test. He’s s really helpful and encouraged me to pass my test with his patience even though i was struggling at Cambridge roundabout, he used to tell me anything is possible so after his support and motivation I passed. I would highly recommend you to learn with him.

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.

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!

Sadia was a fantastic instructor and made learning to drive a fun experience. She made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout our lessons and was always offering her time with any questions I had which I really appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sadia enough and thank you so much for helping me pass first time :)

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.

I cannot recommend Ahmad enough! I had never had lessons before and Ahmad patiently and diligently went through each level. He has given me a lot of confidence for my test when I will take it.

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

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.

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.

I passed with Ahmad as my driving instructor. His instructions are clear and allows you to learn at your own pace. Throughout my journey of taking driving lessons with Ahmad, he has made me feel at ease which has made the whole process more enjoyable. 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.

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

Passed with Ahmad today at Chingford his a good teacher and I’ve don’t 10 hour crash course where we were going through the test route which made me confident for the test

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!!

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 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.

Great instructor, got me through my test for the 1st time with only 2 minors.

I couldn’t thank enough for Sadia. Her professionalism, and dedication to her job lead to my Pass result from the first time. She might be strict, but she will make you achieve the best driving you can

The best driving instructor I’ve ever had. Very polite and friendly. Gave me a lot of confidence to pass my test

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 had the best time learning with driveJohnson's and Sadia Nasir. She was straightforward to talk to and learn from, and I can't thank her enough. It is thanks to her that I passed without any minor faults.

I started my driving journey with Ahmad in 2021 and he has been an amazing teacher. With patience and great lessons he has taken me from a complete beginner level to a pass! I can’t thank Ahmad enough for his great help! He is extremely understanding, supportive, patient and I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with him.

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!

Passed my driving test 1st time after having 30 hours of lessons with Makan. Really happy with how my lessons went and Makan helped me learn really fast and built up my confidence. He showed me all the test routes and did mock driving tests with me which I think really helped me to pass. Would definitely recommend Drive Johnsons and Makan to anyone.

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 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!

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!

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!

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.

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 :)

Great instructor, found a way to communicate and made good progress along with a few laughs whilst at it.

Thank you Sadia

Great instructor, highly recommend

Passed my test with Ahmad and I can vouch for his skills a driving instructor. I have been through many instructors and Ahmad was by far the best. Unlike most other instructors he is patient with you and knows how to teach well whilst not lacking in any other area of being an instructor. He is also lovely driving and talking and share many wisdoms with you. I think this comes from the fact that he is also a Imam and used to teach Arabic so he has much more experience than most instructors.

I have really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, I was a very nervous learner, Paul made learning to drive seem really easy, I have now passed thanks to Paul.

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 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.

He is an amazing instructor. He had doubts at first, but I beat the odds and came out successfully. I only got a few driving faults because the driving instructor standard is so high. Trust me, you cannot fail with Mr. Ahmad.

Test tip of the month for Walthamstow

Sometimes you will try to overtake someone, and then they increase their speed. Pretty annoying, right? If this happens on your test, just eat some humble pie and retreat back into the left-hand lane. The alternative is getting into a race, possibly breaking the speed limit, resulting in a big fat FAIL at the end of your test.

Useful driving test tip for Walthamstow Show more

Useful driving test tip for Walthamstow

It's another classic, but many learners think they should offset their mirrors, so they must move their heads more during the test. You should be able to check your mirrors by moving your eyes - not your head. The examiners are trained to look out for eye checks rather than head movements. Moving your head may cause the examiner to think your mirrors are not set up correctly.
