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

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.

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.

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.

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

My brother learnt to drive with drivejohnson and told me that I had to learn with them. I am so glad that I did as I got to learn with Noor. He helped me to pass my driving test on my first attempt.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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 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!

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 will highly recommend my instructor Ahmed Abdur . He helped me to improve my driving beyond test.
I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam in first attempt and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning with him .

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

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!

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Learning to drive with Noor was a great experience, and I would recommend him to anyone.

I was able to pass my test on my first attempt, thanks to Noor. He is a great instructor and has helped me massively.

My son had a great experience with Noor, and I am so happy that he was his instructor. He was able to help him achieve his dream of driving.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Amazing instructor! Helped me pass 1st time.

I had a great time learning to drive with Hassan and I am so happy to have passed as it has allowed me to be all sorted before my exams start! Thanks for everything Hassan.

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.

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

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!

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.
