The AA driving instructor with the registration number KR23 BHD needs to learn some actual parking skills. When he is off work his AA vehicle is constantly blocking neighbours driveways and access points for long periods and overnight. We have had several emergency services vehicles in the area whom have had difficulty accessing properties because of this. The person obviously has no consideration for others. Perhaps he needs to brush up on the highway code?

I was very happy with my instructor Fatmir Beqiri. He was very punctual and reliable. He was patient and calm during driving sessions which helped me feel comfortable and to learn at my own pace. He also offered a flexible schedule with lessons outside typical working hours, allowing me to learn without needing to take time off work. Thanks to him I was able to pass my driving exam.

I had a very bad experience with my driving instructor Lisa who worked for the AA she wasted 20 hours of my money and time. She only took me around one estate and one main road the entire time and used to be 5-10 minutes late every single lesson. She the would park up for a good 30-45 minutes of my lesson and wouldn’t stop talking about her life and the things going on in her life such as how her boyfriend had an incident at his workplace which caused damage to his hand, how her sister was having relationship issues with her boyfriend and other problems in her life that didn’t relate at all to me learning how to drive . I don’t know if she thought I was her personal therapist but I’m not happy at all with the outcome as I’ve spent around £600 and only been compensated by the AA £31 which I find ridiculous. Once again I will not be recommending this driving school to anyone, ever.

I had one of the best instructor from AA Driving school (Zahid) his patience, thoughtful teaching and his willingness to help me understand the mistakes that I was making, made me feel comfortable enough to pass my exams. Thank you Zahid couldn’t have pass without your help.

AA driving school has been a wonderful experience and I’m very happy to have learnt through them. A special mention to my instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar (also known as Raj) as he gave me the confidence and support to pass my exam first attempt.

I passed with shelly sokoar one of the best instructors I have ever met she is the best person to teach a first time driver and I passed the very first time. I would recommend her to all who are a bit scared or driving first time

I don’t recommend at all! I’ve had a few lessons with this driving instructor (18 hours) and he kept saying we would have to do certain manoeuvres next lessons but whenever those lessons came he never taught me what he had planned. We never even went on the motorway and kept telling me to do stuff I already knew to “polish” them. I am a great driver and it’s clear he just wanted to take my money. I have a driving test now and he cancelled on me last minute. I’m left with no car for the driving test! Absolutely mockery

I passed with Shelly Sokhal first time. She was helpful, professional and calm. She helped massively improve my driving and with my mock tests which put me at ease for the test.

The indicator repeatedly cancels driving lessons with only 30 minutes’ notice, causing me to wait unnecessarily. That's bad

I had a test booked within next week and no car. Going through the system and booking was very easy and simple. I cannot recommend Jahir enough. With the lessons I had with him, he made it easy environment which in turn made it easy to drive. This resulted in a first time pass. If you go with AA, go with Jahir.

AA outsource to bad driving instructors. I'm disabled, I was given an instuctor who was always late. Would cancel sometimes after being 40 minutes late. Would answer his phone during lessons. Then decides to go abroad on a skiing holiday 10 days before my test without notification. I found out through one of his colleagues. I now have to pay one his colleagues 80 for a mock test which should be covered with my 40 hours of driving lessons all because my driving instructors colleague isn't aa approved.

I had a great experience learning with my instructor Ashley Davies! He’s a great teacher and always kind and patient. Starting out as an anxious driver, he really helped me build my confidence on the roads. I was made to feel really comfortable each lesson and was catered around my busy work schedule. Extremely happy to say I passed first time and would highly recommend him as a driving instructor!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Freddie Asare. He not only helped me build my confidence on the road but also ensured that I executed every aspect of driving correctly. His clear and easy-to-understand explanations made learning so much easier and helped me progress quickly. I always felt comfortable and supported during our lessons, and his patience and encouragement made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and professional driving instructor!

I learned from Imran Siddique for my first time driving, he made learning very easy by explaining reasoning behind good driving habits and proper awareness for potential situations while staying calm and giving proper criticism. He helped me to work driving lessons into a hectic calendar and when it came time to prepare for my test we scheduled an intensive bracket of lessons just before the test day as well as a final preparation on the day. Very satisfied and happy to say I passed first time in Tottenham!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) at AA Driving School. Raj is an exceptional instructor—patient, professional, and very clear in his teaching. He made every lesson enjoyable and easy to follow, ensuring I felt confident and well-prepared for the test. The booking process with AA was seamless, and scheduling lessons was super convenient. After roughly 30 hours of lessons and practising for a variety of routes and roads, I passed my test first time at the Mitcham test centre! I highly recommend Raj and AA Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you!
