“Christopher Stewart was my son's instructor, absolutely legend ***** He was calm and explained everything clearly. Always polite, on time and incredibly professional. My son is just 17, no previous experience driving, passed his test on the first time. Cannot thank him enough! If you are looking for an instructor around Swanley, Dartford area look no further. The AA website and booking system are quite a let down though, needs urgent improvements! I'm very glad Chris more than made up for it.”

“To my fellow newbie drivers, I highly recommend taking lessons with Deepak Patel. A single lesson with him taught me every safe-driving tips and tricks that accessors will watch closely. He made me feel safe but also didn't take over my driving. He also gave me the reasoning behind every tips he taught and is very informative when asked questions driving-related. He's also very honest when giving feedback, which I believe is very important when learning to drive. If you're nervous about your capability, sit in a lesson with Deepak. You'll find yourself practicing these tips in no time and having a good laugh with him after the lesson.”

“I had taken few classes from Jesuthasan Rajkumar after my previous instructor went for medical procedure. Unfortunately Raj had already planned vacation hence he could not continue and I had to find my third instructor. But since I took lessons from three instructors, it gives me a different perspective. I found Raj making you relaxed. He explains the mistakes very nicely but at the same time, he makes the experience not stressful. It helped me a lot, compared to my previous instructor. I would have continued with him had he not taken a vacation planned during my scheduled test day.”

“Brian from AA driving in Derby has been teaching me since February. I passed first time yesterday and I give him every credit. He’s an amazing instructor who was so patient with me and helped me gain my confidence on the roads, to be honest I will miss my lessons! He is my 100% recommended instructor to anyone and I’m sure if he is still teaching in a few years he will be teaching my younger brother too! I was honestly so scared to start my lessons but since the beginning he was so friendly and made me feel comfortable which really benefitted my driving. Thank you so much Brian for all you did :)”

“Faisal Anwar was my driving instructor- He is utterly amazing and I passed 1st time! He is so calm and so experienced and such a great teacher and full of all the tips and tricks to help you pass. He has loads of stories to tell which make the lessons go really fast and makes them really enjoyable. I cannot recommend Faisal more highly - I even missed my lessons once I had passed! I've learnt so much from Faisal about driving that i will carry with me into the future as i become more experienced. Thank you so much Faisal!!!”

“I've had a brilliant time learning to drive with my instructor Ron Hemers (Cheshire area). The AA made it really easy to add money to my account and to book lessons, and to cancel them if I needed to as well. The 2 hour lessons are really helpful at building up confidence, and Ron is a spectacular instructor who helped me to find my feet (or wheels) on the road, and offered lots of good conversation throughout my training. I passed first time today, and I literally couldn't have done it with anyone else. Thank you AA, and thank you Ron!!!”

“Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) was amazing, he spent a lot of time and effort with me and ultimately he was the reason I passed first time! He was always available when I needed help, gave me the absolute maximum amount of time on the road (some previous instructors spent an hour pulled in by the side of the road chatting instead of driving) and is a genuinely lovely person. If you get the chance to select him as your instructor, I would, as without him I would probably still be doing lessons, thank you so much Raj.”

“Passed my test on first attempt today! My instructor was Kajanraj Thavayogan and he’s definitely the best compared to the previous driving instructors I’ve had. He’s experienced , supportive and calm, and taught me thoroughly on how to drive in different road and traffic conditions. 100% recommend!”

“Passed on my first attempt after 26 hours of classes with Jesuthasan Rajkumar. He teaches in a very methodical manner and gets you driving on the road from the first class. He is flexible with timings and works around your schedule. I would recommend Raj!”
