“Nathan (Ashford Kent) was recommended to us, he was quick to reply to my text and guide me onto how to book and top up. Albert really enjoyed his lessons and said that Nathan was great. We are over the moon with the service received. Thank you”

“Best Instructor ever. Sergiu Ardelean Huntingdon. Is very well organised and lesson are clear and in modules. You get basic rules to work with for everyone lesson. Works with you on the test area and when tests ready works with you on mock tests where you can see for yourself where you are at and then working on your faults. He has a very high pass rate and is very clear with policy and procedures. Passed first time only 2 minors out of stress.”

“I had my driving lessons in Maidstone and at the time of January last year I was struggling to find an instructor so I decided to go with the AA driving school. My instructor Michael Fermor was absolutely brilliant, he helped me increase my confidence and taught me all the skills I needed to pass my test. I can’t thank Mike enough for everything he has done for me, I would definitely recommend him and the AA and I feel I would not have passed so well without his great guidance and genuine support for me learning. (Passed with only 3 driving faults). So all I can really say is thank you.”

“The AA driving school may be a good bet for learner drivers but I would definitely NOT recommend it if you're thinking of training to become a driving instructor. The standard of instruction and back office support is very poor. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.”

“Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) was my driving instructor. He is very patient and explains every aspect of driving safely clearly. He helped me correct my driving faults and gave me ample time to learn at my pace without rushing. I can't thank him enough for all his motivation & support towards clearing my driving test. I would totally recommend him to anyone who wants to learn and get their license.”

“I was able to book my lessons with my driving instructor without hustle. My driving instructor, Jesuthasan Rajkumar was very patient and taught me all the skills needed to pass my driving test. He’s an absolute gem and I passed my driving at the first attempt. Thanks Raj for the fun and memories made in every lesson.”

“I have nothing but glowing words to say about my AA instructor Mahmoud Mallekini. His teaching style was effective, efficient and yielded great results - enabling me to pass first time at the Bromley test centre. You can tell that you’re dealing with someone with a wealth of experience, Mahmoud was able to pinpoint weaknesses in my driving and knew exactly what kind of exercises were required to fix them, going straight to the root. Above all Mahmoud conducted himself in a professional manner to a golden standard, every time i booked a lesson he was there on time and not a single lesson was cancelled. He clearly cares for the success of his students. There was an instance where one of his students had a test booked at the same time as one of my lessons, he reached out with ample time, providing a courtesy call and rescheduling my lesson. I found this approach very diplomatic and assured me that he would go beyond and above to be there for his students on test day. I can thoroughly recommend Mahmoud Malekini, a top class driving instructor.”

“I would absolutely recommend my driving instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar. He has been such a great teacher and has taught me so well, so quickly! I passed first time all thanks to him! (I started with no driving experience at all). He is incredibly patient and very eager for his students to succeed.”

“I have just passed today, with Jesuthasan rajkumar (raj). AA driving school was really convenient as they had multiple instructors and were to appoint me to a instructor as soon as I needed as I was on a time crunch. if I could give more stars I would, my instructor helped me fix all my minor faults, serious faults and learn all my mistakes. He was also very thoughtful of my time, as I am university student and I work part time.”

The way he explains and makes you learn is really what you would need on your test day. Can't thank him enough. I would totally recommend him for anyone who wants to get his driving license as soon as possible.”

“I had Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) as my driving instructor. He was very encouraging and taught me all the skills needed to be a good driver. His teaching style was very helpful and we would go through any mistakes I have made along the drive to make sure I understand how to approach the situation differently next time.”

“I had Jesuthasan Rajkumar as my instructor. He is a knowledgeable instructor who helped me learn to drive at a pace comfortable for me. he was good at maintaining a calm atmosphere during the learning and when practising for the test. The AA driving school is not the cheapest however in my experience using it I found it to be worth the money.”
