“My instructor was the best. I live in Oxfordshire and my test was in Banbury. I'd never driven in Banury before and he made efforts to help me feel confident by taking me for mock exams before the test. I've never felt safer, more secure and confident in driving than I did with my instuctor Ed. I highly recommend AA, I have been woth another driving school who have let me down in the past and I've never had issues with AA, I had been woth them for about a year before I passed my test. Thank you Ed!”

“Totally loved my experience with my instructor Zahid! He is by far the best instructor anyone could ask for. He was patient, and reassured me that it would all be alright. I Cannot even imagine learning to drive with someone else. Would greatly recommend. Not only is he an excellent instructor, but a kind hearted and loveable person. He worked incredibly well to melt away all my fears about driving and I cannot thank him enough. It was an absolute please to have been taught by him. THANK YOU ZAHID!!!!!.”

“Arkadiusz Krzysztof Kubicki - AA Driving School -Cardiff Would highly recommend Arkadiusz as a driving instructor- my son passed 1st time with only 2 minors after 6 lessons. Accommodating, calm and good knowledge of the system, highly recommended him.”

“The login portal stopped working after my son had had 2 lessons; to set up an account we needed to put in an email to which a verification code would be sent....except the code never arrived. We tried a couple of email addresses time and time again with no luck. Our driving instructor (lovely) could not do anything about login issues and we were directed to the aa online chatbot. This just said repeatedly that it didn't understand, couldn't help etc but did not transfer us to an actual human. I tried phoning a helpline number I found online but all the telephone services have been withdrawn. It seems the aa is fine if the online stuff is working but if there's a problem you have no support whatsoever.”

“If I could give zero stars, I would. AA Driving School is not fit for purpose—the quality of instructors is poor and unreliable. They pick and choose students and seem to misunderstand the very idea of teaching. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on them. Look elsewhere”

“Honestly, I can’t thank Sema Iscan enough—she’s helped me so much with my driving from day one. Her patience, clear instructions, and the way she builds your confidence behind the wheel is unreal. She’s not just teaching you to pass a test, she’s making sure you become a safe and proper driver. Genuinely one of the best instructors you could ever have.”

“As a driver with additional needs, it was really important to me to have an instructor who made me feel comfortable, calm and safe. Shelly Sokhal was perfect for this and I felt super comfortable from the very first lesson, and passed first time which I never thought was going to happen for me. I felt confident and calm because I knew I had a supportive instructor. I’m so glad to have had Shelly as my instructor and highly recommend ⭐️”

“I had a brilliant experience with the AA Driving School thanks to my wonderful instructor Shelly Sokhal. Shelly is a patient, knowledgeable, warm and understanding instructor with a heart of gold. After a bad experience with a previous instructor I was incredibly nervous to learn, but with Shelly's help I passed my test first time, with no minors. I have laughed and learnt more than I thought I ever would be able to over the past few months, all thanks to Shelly. She truly cares about her students and wants the best for them. If you're looking for an instructor who feels more like a friend (and, as I often joked, even a therapist!) then book lessons with Shelly, you won't regret it.”

“I had a fantastic experience with the AA Driving School. The lessons were really well structured, and I found myself learning so much, so quickly, even within the first few sessions. My instructor, Ben, was absolutely amazing. He was professional, kind, incredibly patient, and always flexible to suit my needs. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time! Definitely would recommend the AA Driving School to anyone looking to learn, especially with an instructor like Ben.”
