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.

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 has been such an incredible instructor!

He's friendly, patient and makes sure that you learn all the required techniques properly.

He helped me pass in 2021 and now through his guidance assisted me with my pass plus!

It's an absolute pleasure learning with Ahmad.

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!

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!

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.

Quality lessons and a great instructor who knew the test routes that I would face.

Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

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.

Noor is a fantastic instructor, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs driving lessons in London.

Learning to drive sounded terrifying to me, but luckily I got to know with Noor. He was a great instructor and well deserving of five stars.

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!

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.

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 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.

I had a great time learning to drive with Noor. He knows so much about driving, and it was incredible to be taught by him. Thank you so much for being so helpful, Noor.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Having lessons with Noor was great. Noor is a great instructor who helped me pass my test on my first attempt with only four minors.

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.

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 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!

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.

Noor is one of drive johnsons best instructors, and I am so glad I got to learn with him.

Great teacher and has great techniques to help you learn the tips and tricks to learning to drive.

Abdul is an amazing driving instructor. His vast knowledge of the London roads and test routes helped me become familiar with the area. I passed my test thanks to his guidance and support.

Fantastic experience learning to drive with Noor. Very professional and was great at getting me test ready.

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.

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.

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.

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 had a great time learning to drive with drivejohnson and Noor. He is a great instructor, and the lessons were terrific.

Loved learning to drive with Hassan and if you need to pass make sure you choose to learn with him.

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 :)

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.

Ahmad is a very supportive and friendly instructor. I passed with him today after 8 lessons he identifies your weak spots and gives you tips on how to improve them which he did with me.
Can’t thank him enough thank you so much Ahmad.

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.

I had a great experience and would recommend this to anyone.

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 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 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.

Amazing instructor! Helped me pass 1st time.

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!

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 had a great experience with Noor, and it was super easy to learn with him.

I had great driving lessons with Hassan and thanks to him I have passed in just 17 hours of lessons.

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.

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.

Test tip of the month for Whitechapel

When you are on the independent driving part of the test, it's common to miss your mirrors and signalling when listening to and following the satnav. Remember, every time you hear a new direction, be prepared to check your mirrors and put a signal on if needed.

Useful driving test tip for Whitechapel Show more

Useful driving test tip for Whitechapel

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will I learn when taking driving lessons in Whitechapel?

With its famously narrow streets and alleyways, it may not immediately seem like the most obvious place to be if you’re looking to book driving lessons in Whitechapel. However, your driveJohnson’s instructor is here to help and knows this part of East London inside out. For beginners, the best areas close to Whitechapel are Wapping and the Isle of Dogs where the old docklands have given way to long, quiet cobbled streets which are perfect for helping you get used to the car.

As your confidence develops, your instructor will help you learn the trickier parts of Whitechapel, such as the narrow streets and squares around the Royal London Hospital, the bustle of Whitechapel and Mile End Road and the full, one-way length of Cable Street. You may even find yourself dipping into the Limehouse Link!

What should I do when it comes to taking my test?

Our instructors know the local area like the back of their hand and will ensure you go over the relevant test routes several times before taking your test. Get used to going along the A13 to Barking or the A12 to Wanstead as these two roads will be your quickest way to your nearest test centre.

We would recommend most learners either take 2-hour lessons or meet their instructors by taking the underground tube near their chosen test centre, so the lessons leading up to your test are spent productively in and around the test route areas.

What will I see when driving around Whitechapel?

Whilst you will begin your driving lessons around smaller, quiet roads around Whitechapel, once you grow in confidence, you will begin to explore London more. This means that you are going to run across several London landmarks and tourist hotspots.

These will include the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the National History Museum and much more. These are all hotspots for tourists, meaning that when it comes to driving these roads, you will enhance your skills even more.
