“I had the pleasure of learning to drive in London with Faisal Anwar via the AA Driving School, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Moving from the US, I was quite nervous about adapting to the different driving rules and navigating the busy London roads, but Faisal’s patience and expertise made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensured I felt comfortable behind the wheel, and was always calm and encouraging, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my driving test and achieve a major milestone. I highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and patient driving instructor!”

“Instructor Ka-Lun Cheung (★★★★★) I had the absolute pleasure of being taught by Ka-Lun Cheung via the AA driving school; and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From day one, Mr. Cheung was not just an instructor but a mentor, guiding me with professionalism, patience, and a deep wealth of knowledge. His teaching style made learning to drive an enjoyable and confidence-building experience. Mr. Cheung is incredibly skilled at breaking down complex driving techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps. He was always calm and reassuring, even when I doubted myself. His constant encouragement and expert advice gave me the confidence I needed to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Every lesson was packed with valuable insights, not just about how to pass the test, but how to be a safe and responsible driver for life. What I appreciated most was Mr. Cheung’s unwavering professionalism. He was always punctual, well-prepared, and genuinely cared about my progress. His attention to detail and dedication made me feel supported every step of the way. He knew exactly how to address my weaknesses and helped turn them into strengths. Thanks to Mr. Cheung, I happily passed my driving test on the first time with only one minor, and I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without his expert guidance. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive driving instructor, Mr. Cheung is the mentor to go to :)”

“I was very blessed to find my instructor Zahid, my lessons have always been really engaging and he always makes you aware of when you’ve made good progress and is constructive when you’ve done something wrong. It’s made my development really smooth. I’ve never had issues with timing or scheduling dates and he’s always willing to commit to changes on my end. I am glad I had him as my instructor and would definitely recommend if asked.”

“I had a brilliant learning experience with Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj). After taking lessons from him, I passed my test in one go without any majors / minors. He has a great knowledge of the area he drives in and provides very useful tips & tricks to pass the test in one go. He's also very flexible with his schedule & patient when it comes to teaching things. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive! Top experience.”

“Kajanrash is a great instructor. He knows the area very well and can take you on the roads you really should know. He taught me to think 100 meters ahead always, to stay away from parked vehicles, and how to do proper observations. I could not pass on the first try but had only 3 minor faults on my second turn. I traveled 1 hour each way from south London to Wood Green because Kajanrash’s expertise was worth it. Highly recommend!”

“I recently passed my driving exam, and I owe so much of that success to my incredible instructor Sayeed. From the very first lesson, he was patient, thorough, and truly committed to ensuring I felt confident and prepared for every aspect of the test. His teaching style is not only professional but also motivating, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable. Beyond being an outstanding instructor, he is an amazing individual who genuinely cares about his students. His positivity, and expertise made every lesson a pleasure. I'm incredibly fortunate to have met him, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor. Thank you for all your guidance and support!”
