After completing 5 lessons (10 hours) with Kijann, I was very pleased to finally start driving. He’s an absolutely lovely instructor — great conversations and a genuinely nice person. However, for £300, I felt that only learning how to move off, stop, and turn left or right wasn’t quite worth it. I completely understand that Kijann is new to the trade, and that’s perfectly fine, but friends and family did mention that I wasn’t getting much for the amount I was paying. Because of that, I decided to switch to a different driving school — and after just one lesson, I was already driving in third gear, tackling busy junctions, and going around roundabouts. Honestly, Kijann is a great guy, but the progress just wasn’t there. Being told I was a “hard student to teach” and then hearing from my new instructor that I’m an “easy learner” really showed me the difference. Now I genuinely feel confident that I’ll pass my test by January.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ricco Santiago is an excellent driving instructor! He’s patient, calm, and explains everything clearly, which made learning to drive so much easier. Thanks to his guidance, I gained confidence and passed my test with ease. Highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!

I had the pleasure of being Faizan Mirza’s very first student after he joined AA, and I’m proud to say that I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only 5 minors! 🎉 Faizan is an incredibly patient, calm, and supportive instructor who quickly identified and helped me correct my mistakes — all within just five lessons! His clear guidance and confidence-building approach made learning to drive both enjoyable and stress-free. Even though he had only recently joined AA, his professionalism and teaching skills were truly impressive. You’d never guess he was new to the team — he teaches with the expertise and confidence of a seasoned instructor. If you’re looking for an instructor who makes learning fun, effective, and easy, I highly recommend Faizan Mirza. Let’s support him as he continues to grow — he truly deserves it! Big shoutout to Faizan for helping me become a safe and independent driver. Thank you again, Faizan — you’re amazing! 🥂

Audrina Daniel-Prince, AVOID THIS INSTRUCTOR!! She is dishonest, rude and unreliable. Taking smoking breaks within paid lessons. After months of lessons and arranged driving test day, she changed her mind and said I was not ready for the test. After charging for the car, for the test day. Audrina is a time waster and has no respect! DO NOT USE THIS INSTRUCTOR UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!

AA driving school made me happy. I passed my driving test in Mitcham first time and my driving instructor is called JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( (RAJ). His teaching is excellent. He is patient and encouraging. He knows the road the exam very well. I highly recommend Raj to anyone who is nervous and wants to prefect their skills!

My instructor was Steven Entwistle in the Manchester area and he is an extremely professional and helpful driving instructor. He made me feel more confident at driving and each lesson felt so quick as he was so friendly and we had so much to talk about. I would 100% recommend him to people and hopefully many instructors would be like him. Thanks to him, my driving experience was better than I could have ever imagined.

After having an awful experience with another driving instructor, I decided to go with the AA. I met Dave M and he changed my whole experience. He is calm and a very patience man, whom puts you at ease the moment you meet him. Dave gave me the confidence that I lack in driving, with he's help I passed my driving test with 3 minors. I would recommend Dave to anyone, whom is looking to learn to drive in the burgess hill area. A top bloke and whom is extremely amazing at he's job. Thank you.

After a discouraging experience with my previous driving instructor, my confidence had been significantly affected. However, Justin Ellis has managed to restore it within just two lessons. His calm and reassuring manner immediately puts me at ease, and his clear, step-by-step explanations make expectations easy to understand. Justin also recognises that everyone learns differently, and he thoughtfully asks whether I would prefer verbal instruction or a practical demonstration. He encourages questions and never makes me feel uncomfortable for asking them. I would strongly recommend Justin to anyone who feels nervous about driving, as well as to anyone seeking an instructor who creates a supportive and comfortable learning environment.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to Shelly Sokhal, an exceptional driving instructor. With her patience, encouragement, and support, I was able to pass my driving test on my first attempt! Shelly is not only highly professional but also calm and reassuring, which made learning to drive such a positive and enjoyable experience. From the very first lesson, she created a comfortable environment and her supportive approach helped me feel at ease throughout. She gives you the confidence to become a safe and capable driver. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, and I can’t recommend Shelly highly enough!
