Darius Jaan is an excellent driving instructor who is patient, calm, and explains things clearly. As a result I passed first time. He has an automatic Skoda Kamiq with a reversing camera which makes parking much easier.

I highly recommend Elias as an excellent driving instructor. I've taken my practical test several times and often failed due to nerves and pressure on the day. However, after just a few lessons with him, I finally passed my test, and I couldn’t be happier! If you're looking for someone kind who makes you feel safe and comfortable, definitely give him a call—he’ll really help you succeed!

Dear Ms Farideh Sarvari, I would like to express my very special and heartfelt thanks to you for all your support and dedication during my driving lessons and in preparing me for my driving test. You have been incredibly kind, friendly, and like a caring sister throughout my learning journey. Your patience meant so much to me, and I truly appreciate how you carefully and consistently reminded me of every detail, both big and small. You are highly experienced, professional, and truly knowledgeable in your work, and your confidence and expertise gave me great reassurance throughout both my practice and my test. Your support, effort, and commitment played a huge part in my success, and I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and patience. With my warmest regards, Farangis Simaei ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🪷🪻🌸🌹🪻🪷🌸🌹

I honestly can’t recommend Colin enough. For 19 years I wanted to drive but never managed to push myself to do it because of health issues and anxiety. Starting lessons felt really daunting for me, but Colin made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Over 40 hours of lessons he was patient, calm, and always supportive, which helped build my confidence week by week. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or pressured, even on the days when my nerves got the better of me. Thanks to Colin’s teaching I passed my test first time with no minors, which still feels unreal to me! I genuinely couldn’t have done it without his encouragement and belief in me. I’ll actually miss our Wednesday drives and chats — something I never thought I’d say when I first started learning. If you’re nervous about learning to drive or just want an instructor who really cares about his students, Colin is the one to go to. Thank you again for everything, Colin!

I just passed my driving test today, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had Junaid as my instructor! From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His teaching style is not only professional but also incredibly understanding—he’s patient, clear in his explanations, and really knows how to adapt to your learning pace. Junaid was always calm and encouraging, which helped me stay focused and relaxed throughout the lessons. He broke down tricky maneuvers into manageable steps, and his tips and advice were invaluable on the day of the test. Thanks to him, I felt fully prepared and was able to pass with ease. If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Junaid! You’ll be in great hands.

Elias successfully helped me pass my exam after I had failed 2 previous exams with another instructor. In just a few weeks off lessons, I felt my confidence and driving on the road dramatically improve, leading me to pass with just 3 minors.

I was driving round the Fox Hollies roundabout and was cut up by the driving instructor with the number plate AJ62 CSV driving a black Peugeot. Dangerous driving! Bad example for a driving instructor to set!

AA driving school unfortunately was a terrible experience. It is expensive and a good name so i expected quality for my son , but this was not the case. The first instructor did not teach basic things like looking in your mirrors and seemed to spend most of the time eating and not doing manoeuvres. He then told my son he was ready for his test when he was not , which we only found as he went into hospital so we had to swap to another instructor who said he was not ready at all. Had to then put back his test too last minute to get my money back and had a huge problem getting another test for ages. Overall terrible. Have complained but after one initial reply they have not responded to my emails. Do not use them.

Excellent experience with AA Driving School. My instructor Junaid was very patient, professional and supportive throughout the lessons. He explained everything clearly and focused on the areas I needed to improve, which really helped build my confidence. Thanks to his guidance and effort I was able to pass my driving test on the first attempt with only 2 minor faults. Highly recommended!

I passed first time with 2 minors!!!! AA driving school Chelmsford- Behnam Parsi I cannot recommend Behnam Parsi at AA Driving School in Chelmsford highly enough—he is hands down the best driving instructor I could have asked for. I completed 72 hours of lessons, starting to drive in mid-July, and today I passed my driving test with only 2 minors! This is something I honestly didn’t think was possible before working with him. Behnam is not just an instructor—he’s incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring. He listens attentively, explains things clearly, and communicates in a way that instantly makes you feel comfortable and supported. He creates an environment where it’s safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at your own pace. He’s respectful, encouraging, and has a natural ability to make lessons calm and productive, even when I felt nervous or overwhelmed. What really sets Behnam apart is his belief in his students. I have ADD and GDD, and I’ve struggled with anxiety around learning to drive. Behnam adapted every lesson to suit my needs, breaking things down step by step, giving me time to absorb information, and always encouraging me when I doubted myself. He helped me find strategies to cope with stress and nerves, teaching me ways to stay focused and confident, which completely changed my mindset behind the wheel. He goes above and beyond just teaching driving skills. Every lesson felt tailored to me, whether it was mastering maneuvers, building confidence on busy roads, or planning routes. He celebrated my progress, however small, and his patience never wavered, even when things were tricky. He genuinely wanted me to succeed, not just pass a test. Before working with Behnam, I’d had a really rough experience—my previous instructor had bailed on me four times, which left me frustrated and anxious. But with Behnam, I finally found someone reliable, professional, and truly invested in my success. He helped me not only learn to drive, but also gain confidence, independence, and a sense of achievement that I will carry with me forever. If you want an instructor who is supportive, understanding, patient, and extremely skilled, Behnam Parsi is the one to choose. He doesn’t just teach driving—he empowers you to believe in yourself, overcome anxiety, and reach your full potential. Thanks to him, I passed my test feeling calm, confident, and ready for the road ahead. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor or a better experience. Thank you Behnam!!

I passed my driving test today with no driving faults whatsoever not even a single minor, and I truly owe it all to Imran. From the very beginning, he was an incredible instructor and made the entire learning experience so much smoother and less stressful than I expected. Imran is an exceptionally calm and patient teacher. Driving can be really nerve-racking, especially when you’re preparing for the test, but he always knew exactly how to handle my stress and help me stay focused. Whenever I felt anxious or doubted myself, he knew how to calm me down and build my confidence again. What really sets him apart is the way he explains things. He has a very clear and simple way of teaching, breaking down difficult manoeuvres and situations so they are easy to understand and remember. Thanks to his guidance, everything started to make much more sense, and I felt increasingly confident behind the wheel. I had lessons with a few instructors before, but Imran was by far the best. His professionalism, patience, and supportive approach made a huge difference in my progress. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test he genuinely helped me become a better and safer driver. Most importantly, he helped me overcome my fears and manage my stress so that I could go into the test feeling prepared and confident. Passing with zero faults is something I’m incredibly proud of, and I know I wouldn’t have achieved it without his support. I honestly cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a driving instructor. Imran Siddique, you were truly the best. Thank you so much!
