“Learnt with Christian in Plymouth. As an ex-biker I've got a heavy foot and a "I can make that gap" attitude, so not something that can be easily taught to stop. Very safe, well maintained car. Very good with the early lessons utilising the dual controls to assist in those early mistakes and keeping calm. You'll also get some good jokes and trivia along the way.”

“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.”

“AA driving school is perhaps the best brand driving school in the UK. I am extremely happy as I passed my driving test in the first attempt. My driving instructor JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR [RAJ] was very patient to start with as I had to unlearn a lot of things from my previous driving experience. He explains in easy to understand language and analogies, which made it very easy for me to grasp things quickly and then put them to practice. The fact that I passed in my first attempt goes to show the hard work that Raj puts in behind the scenes. He is also easy to schedule classes with l, which is an added advantage. In summary, I 100% endorse Raj as a driving instructor.”

“My lessons in Birmingham with Mohammed Ojud were a success. He was patient with me every step of the way and taught me everything I needed to know not just to pass the test but like he said to be a confident driver. Although it was a random pick on the app, I sincerely feared the outcome as with any new endeavour but he immediately put me at ease and I learnt a whole lot from him. I was a fresher and didn't know anything about the system,having already booked my driving lessons prior to my theory test and Mohammed told me that for that I needed to read and understand to pass theory and to continue my driving lessons for my actual driving test. I finished my driving lessons and relocated to many cities From Birmingham, London, Bath, Wales, Manchester and Glasgow and although I never took another driving class. I passed my test in a totally different city from where i had my lessons all because I always heard his voice telling me the right thing and having slowly built my confidence with the lessons I'm greatful for that. I highly recommend Mohammed to anyone in Birmingham you'll get a kind and compassionate teacher and instructor. Thank you to AA for having great instructors”

“I had lessons with Greg Tompkins. He is very nice and friendly. He taught me to be a good and safe driver. I wasn’t confident and was quite nervous but the more lessons I had with him, I got better. Thank you for everything. Greg is an excellent instructor.”

“After having a really horrid experience with driving instructor before I took a chance with AA and Cristian. Have to say I enjoyed every lesson I had! Cristian made the lessons enjoyable and was strict when necessary. Passed the test first time with ease as I felt confident and comfortable about driving! Highly recommend Cristian as an instructor to anyone who’s thinking of taking driving lessons!”

“I went with Freddie Asare after seeing the reviews on the AA website and honestly, they are well deserved and more. Freddie is reliable, consistent and gives great practical advice on how to drive. He is patient, kind and gives effective instructions and tweaks, all of which creates a safe space for learning. I also struggled with nerves and he helped boost my confidence so much. All in all, I passed my test! Would definitely recommend if you’re in the Croydon area. He is genuinely the best!”

“PASSED with Shelly. Honestly the best tutor I've had in my time learning to drive. She explained everything clearly, gave me confidence and was so supportive on test day. I'm truly going to miss lessons with her. Id definitely recommend her to anyone whether you're first time learning or have experience prior - Shelly is best!!!”
