A big thank you raja for helping me out to pass my driving test. I am so glad that I took all the lessons from you from beginnning. You were very patient, most reliable, knowledgable and the ebst driving instructor that I can say. I would say you are highly reccomended instructor. Thanks once again for all the support.

All the best. I had no experience in driving and coming from Europe, I was apprehending driving on the left especially in busy London Street. The teaching method helped me build confidence very quickly and when Raja spotted i repeatedly made the same mistakes, he would make me aware of it and practice until i stoped or changed my bad habits.

Hi, my name is Raja Ahmed and I am a qualified ADI instructor. I have experience with BSM. I offer driving lessons in North London and West London. I not only teach you how to pass your practical test; but I will also ensure that you are aware on how to drive safely.

My driving lessons cater to each individuals needs so that you are able to progress at your own pace; and therefore most of my students have passed their practical tests on their first attempt.If you are a student that have attempted to pass your practical test in the past however have not succeeded and want to try again, this may be the place for you.
On the day of the practical driving test, we will pick you up one and half hour before your test. If you are picked up before 9 am or in the weekend, you will be required to pay 200 for the practical test car rental. However if you are picked up after 9 am during the weekday, you will be required to pay 180 for the practical test car rental.
If you or your instructor decide to cancel a lesson, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required. If your instructor cancels a lesson without giving this minimum notice then your instructor will rearrange the lesson. Students will be required to give a 48 hours notice by calling 07503073240, not by text or any other multimedia messaging which will be followed by a confirmation text by your instructor.
Below is a list of the areas that you could take lessons with a Driving Instructor. If the area you live in isn't listed, but you live near to one that is, please contact me to see if I can help. Students can also be picked up from specific underground stations. The only restriction is that I don't cover any areas within the congestion zone.

Positive: Professionalism
Raja is the sole reason I passed my exam. He is a very good teacher and explained everything very clearly making sure I was entirely comfortable with all the manoeuvres and aspects of driving. I strongly recommend him and the help he provided.

Raja at St John's Wood Driving School is someone who instils confidence in his students. He wants you to succeed! I have been driving with Raja since this February. Although our lessons got interrupted due to lockdown, it was easy to get back into driving in July with a good foundation. Raja's methodological approach worked well for me. He is not afraid to let you make mistakes in order to learn. Thanks to Raja, I not only felt well equipped ahead of my test but also prepared to take on my independent driving. I passed my driving test in Hendon this week. I would highly recommend Raja to anyone

Raja taught me very important tips to ensure I’ll pass. As an experienced driver there were a lot of habits I needed to let go off and he made sure to help me correct them in good time. He was very patient with any questions and doubts I had and motivated me to drive with confidence and prove my capabilities.

I have not been driving manual for 20 years.
However, he taught me how to use it very carefully.
If I was up set, he made me relax.
Very good teacher. Many thanks to him.

Being an experienced driver I consulted SJWDS to guide me on formal training of 4 hours for the practical exam. I must say, it was absolutely professional and thorough. The mentor understands the level of training required on the candidate and takes them through an absolutely tailored course with maximum positive impact.

I just passed today with Raja! He taught me the fundamentals of driving and made sure I understood everything before developing to a higher level. I passed manual, and he made sure that I really got to grip with clutch control which is paramount and had specific activities and lessons just for it. Learning to drive was super fun, and he taught me a lot about life lessons too. I'm also sad that I've passed because he became a good friend! Recommend to anyone.
