Rana has spent four decades helping people learn to drive. During that time, he has taught learners with different levels of confidence, experience and ability.
His lessons are calm, structured and adapted to the person sitting beside him. Rana explains new skills clearly, gives learners time to practise and provides honest feedback about what is going well and what still needs attention.
He is comfortable teaching learners at every stage, from someone getting behind the wheel for the first time to an experienced driver preparing for a test or returning to driving after a break.
“People enjoy learning with me.”

Calm driving lessons for nervous learners
Nervousness is one of the most common challenges Rana helps learners overcome.
You may feel anxious about controlling the car, driving near other traffic, approaching busy junctions or making a mistake during your lesson. You may also be returning to driving after losing confidence or experiencing an unsuccessful test.
Rana’s calm and patient teaching style creates a relaxed environment in which you can ask questions, practise difficult skills and make mistakes without feeling judged.
Lessons can begin on quieter roads before gradually moving into more demanding situations. As your understanding and vehicle control improve, Rana will introduce new challenges at a pace that feels manageable.
Confidence develops through preparation and successful practice. Rana’s role is to give you the support and experience needed to make that progress.
Learn in a nearly new Toyota Yaris Hybrid
Rana teaches in a nearly new Toyota Yaris Hybrid with automatic transmission and dual controls.
Its smooth and quiet drive creates a comfortable learning environment, particularly for complete beginners and people who feel nervous about getting behind the wheel.
Because there is no clutch pedal or manual gear changing to manage, you can concentrate more fully on:
Observations
Steering
Road positioning
Mill Hill
Speed management
Identifying hazards
Making safe decisions
The car’s dual controls also allow Rana to intervene when necessary, providing additional reassurance as you practise unfamiliar skills and progress to busier roads.
Driving test preparation and intensive courses with Rana
Rana provides structured driving test preparation, mock tests and intensive automatic driving courses tailored to your experience, confidence and test plans.
He is familiar with the roads and driving conditions around Pinner, Greenford and Slough. Lessons can include the junctions, roundabouts, road layouts and traffic situations commonly found in these areas. However, Rana will not simply teach you to memorise test routes. He will help you develop the observations, judgement and independent driving skills needed to respond safely on unfamiliar roads.
Mock tests can help you understand what to expect during your practical test and identify any areas that need further work.
Intensive automatic driving courses are also available for suitable learners. Concentrating lessons into a shorter period may suit you if you already have some driving experience, have an upcoming test or benefit from more frequent practice. Love2Pass will consider your current ability, availability and goals before recommending the most appropriate course.
