“I recently had the privilege of learning how to drive with Andrew Cassell in Edinburgh (Sighthill Area), and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible experience I had under his guidance. Starting from ground zero with zero driving skills, I embarked on a six-month journey with Andrew, and the progress I made during that time was nothing short of remarkable. Andrew Cassell's expertise, patience, and professionalism played a pivotal role in shaping me into a confident and skilled driver. His personalized approach to teaching, combined with his clear assessment of my abilities, ensured that every lesson was tailored to my specific needs. His dedication to preparing me for the driving test was unparalleled, and thanks to his meticulous training, I managed to pass my driving test on my first attempt. I owe this achievement entirely to him. What sets Andrew Cassell apart is not just his exceptional teaching skills, but also his polite demeanor and unwavering support throughout the learning process. He went above and beyond to create a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere, making each lesson enjoyable and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Cassell to anyone seeking driving lessons. His commitment to his students' success is evident, and I am incredibly grateful for the knowledge and confidence he has instilled in me. If you're looking for a driving instructor who is professional, patient, and dedicated to helping you succeed, Andrew is the perfect choice. Thank you, Andrew Cassell, for your outstanding guidance and support!”

“I learnt to drive with Natasha in Milton Keynes, I would definitely highly recommend having lessons with her. I learnt to drive 18 years ago and failed 5 times. I started again recently and was nervous to start over. Natasha was an excellent driving instructor she has helped me to feel comfortable confident and happy to drive I never thought I would get to that point I passed my test on Friday and can’t believe after all these years I am driving I definitely have Natasha to thank for that. She is an excellent instructor calm patient knowledgeable always early to lessons accommodating and good communication couldn’t have asked for more so thank you 😊”

“I passed my driving test today at West Wickham Test Center. My experience with Rajkumar Jesuthasan as my driving instructor for all of my past driving test lessons has been nothing short of exceptional. Raj possesses a combination of qualities that make him an outstanding instructor, and I am truly grateful for the knowledge and guidance he has provided. Raj's extensive experience in the field of driving education is readily apparent. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to traffic rules, road safety, and the subtleties of driving. His years of experience shine through in his teaching style, making complex concepts seem straightforward and manageable. Raj's expertise is a true asset, and it instills confidence in his students, knowing they are learning from a seasoned professional. Perhaps one of Raj's most remarkable qualities is his extraordinary patience. Learning to drive can be a nerve-wracking experience, and Raj's calm and patient demeanor is a source of great comfort. He is always willing to take the time necessary to ensure that every student fully comprehends each aspect of driving. His patience creates a stress-free and supportive learning environment, which is particularly crucial for those grappling with the challenges of learning to drive. Moreover, Raj excels in providing valuable advice for handling challenging scenarios on the road. It's one thing to learn the basics, but Raj goes above and beyond by imparting practical strategies to tackle real-world situations. His advice equips his students with the skills and confidence necessary to navigate tricky scenarios with ease. In summary, Raj is an exceptional driving instructor. His extensive experience, patience, and valuable advice make the entire process of learning to drive both enjoyable and effective. Thanks to his guidance, I feel well-prepared and confident as I approach my driving test. I would wholeheartedly recommend Raj to anyone seeking a driving instructor who not only imparts the necessary skills but also genuinely cares about the success and safety of their students.”

“My driving instructor was Mr. Kajanraj Thavayogan and all i can say is he is the best instructor you will ever need. I didn’t have to even do that much many lessons with him due to the quality and in depth effectiveness that he used within his methods of teaching me. He is very friendly and humble and definetly had a big impact on me passing my driving test. So if you haven’t passed your driving test yet, i’ll definetly recommend Mr Kajanraj Thavayogan.”

“Been driving with Cristian for about 14 hours now, he’s friendly and patient and I always learn a lot with him. He’s helped me to feel confident, I think I will be in a position to take my test quite soon. I recommend asking for him if you plan on learning with AA in the local area.”

“AA driving school best school ever to start with lessons prices are expensive but it’s really worth it. My driving instructor Raj is an absolute legend, from the first lesson onwards he was able to sense that I was a quick learner and proceeded to teach me at a good pace. He was patient with new manoeuvres that I was learning and was very encouraging every lesson. Raj is definitely an instructor I would recommend as I only had 20 hrs with him and passed my test first try with 1 minor fault. He is straight to the point and will only talk for any faults you committed during a drive.”

“Christian, What can I say, he is and was an amazing instructor. He not only encouraged and supported me throughout all of my driving lesson but on my test day as well. He was calm and supportive with everything, even when I could feel myself become less confident and overwhelmed he would stay calm and encourage me through. He was kind and funny but stayed professional throughout. I would not of passed today if it wasn’t for this man, taking the time and patience and constant reassurance. Thank you Christian I am going to miss my lessons with you. Your students are lucky to have you as an instructor. W”

“AA DRIVING SCHOOL IS THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL HONESTLY. MY DRIVING INSTRUCTOR RAJ WAS SO PATIENT WITH ME, YET FIRM AT WHAT HE EXPECTED ME TO ACHIEVE. HE WAS VERY PUNCTUAL AND ENCOURAGED ME THROUGHOUT MY LESSON. HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, A GOOD TEACHER AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR A DRIVING TEST PASS AS WELL AS DRIVING IN GENERAL. I WILL DEFINTELY RECOMMEND HIM.”

“I've been with Christian for a few months now and honestly he is one of the best! His main focus is teaching you how to become a good and safe driver, not just how to pass your test. I started from scratch and I now feel confident enough that I'm going to pass my test next month. I would definitely recommend Christian Panaete as a driving instructor”

“I’ve had Christian as my driving instructor now for a while and I can honestly say I’ve never had an instructor who is as knowledgeable as he is. I’ve been learning to drive on and off for a while now but always struggled but as soon as Christian started to teach me all my fears of driving went away as he is so patient and does things in the learners own pace. I highly recommend Christian when people ask for instructors in the area.”

“Ida Anne dekock was my instructor. I am so grateful to her, not only because I passed my test but more vitally, for teaching me to be eco friendly and safe driver. She is the instructor who does not bother of ticking clock during lessons but will focus on what we learned at the end of the day..”

“reached out instructor Raj 3 days before my driving test, he found a time for me and we did intensive course around the test center area. i gained a lot of experience in a short period of time, without Raj i would probably had to waste way much more time to get the same result.”
