“AA driving school made me happy and my driving instructor is called Jesuthasan Rajkumar (RAJ) he made me confident with my driving and was always very motivating. He is an excellent teacher and I would recommend him to everyone as he is just simply the best. He always had ways to remember the things I needed to know and always believed in me.”

“Very positive experience. My AA driving instructor was Homayoun (he covers the Stockport area) and I couldn’t recommend him enough! He made learning to drive a seamless, completely stress free experience, and everything was explained in an easy to understand, simplified way. I honestly don’t think I’d be as confident a driver as I am today without Homayoun, and I put my first time pass completely down to his teaching techniques. Just a brilliant guy all round! If you’re in the Stockport area and looking for a reliable, high-quality instructor, then look no further! This guy is top notch.”

“I recently passed my driving test with Faridah, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. From my very first lesson right up until the day of my test, Faridah was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. No matter how many times I made the same mistakes, she never made me feel discouraged instead, she created such a calm and supportive learning environment that really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Faridah has an amazing way of teaching. She explains things clearly and thoroughly, especially when it comes to more challenging manoeuvres and tricky road situations. Every lesson felt purposeful and tailored to what I personally needed to work on, which meant I always felt prepared and supported. What really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cares about her learners. Her dedication and encouragement made such a big difference to my driving journey, and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done for me. Thank you so much Faridah, I couldn’t have done it without you.🤍🤍🤍”

“Got my daughter to start her lessons with aa , and what a waste of money , her instructor jalal in walsall was shockingly useless , my daughter had 20 lessons and all she did was go round in circles, never drove home or pulled off from the house , when I asked what's going on he said , shes not confident enough yet , after 20 lesson ??? So I got her with bsm , and first lesson he took her on islands , doing right turns and tried parking ,and she even drove back home , instructor said he didn't understand why she wasnt allowed to do what she did with him , my reply was he was robbing us blind. So avoid aa at all costs and go with others”

“The instructor was very rude and smelled really bad. He also made me stop for petrol 20 minutes into mu lesson. Avoid AA it's obviously a scam, they don't vet their instructors and only want to sell you more sessions.”

“Martin was the best driving instructor I could have asked for. After many years of fear and complex needs with my driving, I’d tried other instructors but Martin made me feel safe, explained everything clearly and honestly made driving lessons fun instead of stressful. I passed first time after years of being too scared to even take a lesson!”

“Rajkumar is an outstanding driving instructor who teaches with patience and confidence. He explains every step clearly, making even the hardest skills easy to understand. His calm approach helps learners feel relaxed and supported during every lesson. Rajkumar always focuses on safety and good habits so his students become strong, responsible drivers. Anyone looking for a reliable and excellent instructor would be lucky to learn from him. Thanks and regards Swapnil”

“Jason is truly the best instructor I could have asked for. I made so many repeated mistakes and often forgot things, yet he always taught me with patience, kindness, and a calm, positive attitude. After bad experiences with instructors who cared more about money than teaching, Jason was a refreshing change. He genuinely wants his students to feel confident, safe, and ready for the road — and thanks to him, I finally do. If you want to become a confident driver and pass your test, Jason is the person to contact. Thank you, Jason, for everything! YOU ARE THE BEST!!”

“I passed my driving test at the Tolworth Driving Test Centre, and I’m incredibly grateful to my AA Driving School instructor, Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj). One of the things I appreciated most was how quickly he identified the areas I needed to improve, whether it was observation at junctions, mirror checks, steering control, or positioning. He notices even the small details and makes sure you understand how to correct them without feeling pressured. I highly recommend Mr. Raj and the AA Driving School to anyone preparing for their driving test.”

“I highly recommend Imran as a driving instructor. His patience, kindness, and clear teaching style made a huge difference in my learning experience. He created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and practicing at my own pace. I passed my driving test today—thank you so much for all your help! His contact is +44 7908 424716.”

“Ziba was a wonderful instructor. She was very patient and gave directions in a calm and amiable tone. She is very knowledgeable and helped me improve on my driving with each lesson. By my test date, I felt quite confident and comfortable in the car and passed with no minors. I highly recommend her instructing services and wish her all the best for the future.”

“Worse company do to driving lessons with and I truly recommend to avoid this instructor called EMMA FIDGETT as she always tends to cancel the lesson and reschedule, always be late and have a smoke break between the 2 hour lesson, and to me she would waste about 30 minutes of my 2 hours lesson which isn't fair. One day when I had a lesson I waited outside for almost half an hour and in the end she did not show up. I contacted the company about this the same day and told them how I've been waiting and how she s always been late and wasting my time, then when I made the complaint they made me wait for a response back as the company had to talk to her about it as well and I NEVER got a response back from them I HAD to contact them about it and ask for an update, as they completely forgot . And when I called them I explained to the lady I got transferred to that I've been waiting for a response back and told her my issue again she then said that there is a note on my account says that the instructor replied , saying that she had to wait about 20 something minutes but I didn't show up so she just left. The lady on the phone then said she can't do anything and will transfer me to the complaint team which I had to wait over 3 weeks to get a call back from them. I answered I told them how I want my money back from that one lesson and how it isnt fair what happened to me, then they said again that they can't do anything as the instructor doesn't want to refund me the money. Took soo long to get an answer back just for them to say that they cant help😀. I also mentioned to them how I have cameras outside the house and will send them as proof that the instructor never showed up but again they said they couldn't do anything about. Yeah so honestly this is the worse company to ever have driving lessons with, and the people that are supposed 'try to help' not doing anything and is taking weeks for a response from them. Just avoid it at all costs”
