Had lessons in Bristol with Alan Leach. He was always patient and explained anything I asked about. He never asked for commitment to regular lessons, which was helpful given I had a limited budget and changing timetable. I think his style of teaching takes a few more lessons than other instructors, but it never felt like he was trying to push unnecessary lessons on me. I passed my test first time with only one fault, so no complaints there. I got the impression AA instructors work independently, so I can’t say anything for the organisation as a whole, but I would recommend Alan to anyone in Bristol.
