AA driving school unfortunately was a terrible experience. It is expensive and a good name so i expected quality for my son , but this was not the case. The first instructor did not teach basic things like looking in your mirrors and seemed to spend most of the time eating and not doing manoeuvres. He then told my son he was ready for his test when he was not , which we only found as he went into hospital so we had to swap to another instructor who said he was not ready at all. Had to then put back his test too last minute to get my money back and had a huge problem getting another test for ages. Overall terrible. Have complained but after one initial reply they have not responded to my emails. Do not use them.

Excellent experience with AA Driving School. My instructor Junaid was very patient, professional and supportive throughout the lessons. He explained everything clearly and focused on the areas I needed to improve, which really helped build my confidence. Thanks to his guidance and effort I was able to pass my driving test on the first attempt with only 2 minor faults. Highly recommended!

I passed first time with 2 minors!!!! AA driving school Chelmsford- Behnam Parsi I cannot recommend Behnam Parsi at AA Driving School in Chelmsford highly enough—he is hands down the best driving instructor I could have asked for. I completed 72 hours of lessons, starting to drive in mid-July, and today I passed my driving test with only 2 minors! This is something I honestly didn’t think was possible before working with him. Behnam is not just an instructor—he’s incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring. He listens attentively, explains things clearly, and communicates in a way that instantly makes you feel comfortable and supported. He creates an environment where it’s safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at your own pace. He’s respectful, encouraging, and has a natural ability to make lessons calm and productive, even when I felt nervous or overwhelmed. What really sets Behnam apart is his belief in his students. I have ADD and GDD, and I’ve struggled with anxiety around learning to drive. Behnam adapted every lesson to suit my needs, breaking things down step by step, giving me time to absorb information, and always encouraging me when I doubted myself. He helped me find strategies to cope with stress and nerves, teaching me ways to stay focused and confident, which completely changed my mindset behind the wheel. He goes above and beyond just teaching driving skills. Every lesson felt tailored to me, whether it was mastering maneuvers, building confidence on busy roads, or planning routes. He celebrated my progress, however small, and his patience never wavered, even when things were tricky. He genuinely wanted me to succeed, not just pass a test. Before working with Behnam, I’d had a really rough experience—my previous instructor had bailed on me four times, which left me frustrated and anxious. But with Behnam, I finally found someone reliable, professional, and truly invested in my success. He helped me not only learn to drive, but also gain confidence, independence, and a sense of achievement that I will carry with me forever. If you want an instructor who is supportive, understanding, patient, and extremely skilled, Behnam Parsi is the one to choose. He doesn’t just teach driving—he empowers you to believe in yourself, overcome anxiety, and reach your full potential. Thanks to him, I passed my test feeling calm, confident, and ready for the road ahead. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor or a better experience. Thank you Behnam!!

I passed my driving test today with no driving faults whatsoever not even a single minor, and I truly owe it all to Imran. From the very beginning, he was an incredible instructor and made the entire learning experience so much smoother and less stressful than I expected. Imran is an exceptionally calm and patient teacher. Driving can be really nerve-racking, especially when you’re preparing for the test, but he always knew exactly how to handle my stress and help me stay focused. Whenever I felt anxious or doubted myself, he knew how to calm me down and build my confidence again. What really sets him apart is the way he explains things. He has a very clear and simple way of teaching, breaking down difficult manoeuvres and situations so they are easy to understand and remember. Thanks to his guidance, everything started to make much more sense, and I felt increasingly confident behind the wheel. I had lessons with a few instructors before, but Imran was by far the best. His professionalism, patience, and supportive approach made a huge difference in my progress. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test he genuinely helped me become a better and safer driver. Most importantly, he helped me overcome my fears and manage my stress so that I could go into the test feeling prepared and confident. Passing with zero faults is something I’m incredibly proud of, and I know I wouldn’t have achieved it without his support. I honestly cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a driving instructor. Imran Siddique, you were truly the best. Thank you so much!

I passed my driving test yesterday with only 1 minor, all thanks to Imran. I can’t recommend him enough! He’s incredibly patient, calm, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. He really helped build my confidence and made lessons feel comfortable rather than stressful. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed, he’s the one.

I passed my driving test (first try!!) today thanks to both Farideh Sarvari and Ziba Alamshahivaighan! Farideh has been incredibly supportive and patience with me. Her instructions are always clear and calm which helped put me at ease when I was struggling. She's very experienced, professional and always on time. On the test day she met up with me very early in the morning to practice and gave me the pep talk I needed before the exam. She's an incredible instructor and I highly recommend her for anyone who wants to get their license! Like Farideh, Ziba has also been very supportive and helpful. I did my first few rounds of lessons with Ziba when I was very green and made a lot of mistakes on the road but Ziba was always patience with me and encouraging. Once I felt more comfortable driving I wanted to have lessons with at least one more instructor before doing my exam for my own peace of mind. Ziba recommended Farideh for me and I would have never been able to pass my test without these two amazing teachers.

I passed my first driving test today with only 3 minors. My last instructor stopped doing lessons only a week before my test and I found Ziba and she was so incredibly helpful in preparing me for my test and I couldn’t have done it without her!

I had the best experience with Farideh, she was patient, professional and gave me the best confidence and knowledge to become a safe and independent driver! Passed on my first go of the practical exam and I couldn’t be happier. Wouldn’t have been able to do it with Farideh, I will miss our weekly hangouts. :)

I honestly can’t recommend Farideh Sarvari from AA Driving School enough! From day one, Farideh was incredibly helpful, patient, and genuinely caring. She always went out of her way to support me, and I’m so grateful for how accommodating she was - especially with early morning and weekend lessons to fit around my schedule. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for her. What really stood out was the confidence she helped me build. When I decided to book my test on short notice, she fully backed me and made sure I felt ready. Thanks to her calm guidance and encouragement, I passed second time with only 2 minors - something I genuinely don’t think I could have done without her support. Farideh is not only a fantastic instructor but also a wonderful person. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, professional, and truly invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you so much, Farideh! 🚗✨

AA! I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent driving lessons I received from Mohammed Riaz. He was an outstanding instructor who made the learning process both enjoyable and stress-free. Mohammed was extremely flexible with scheduling lessons and accommodated my busy schedule with ease. His patience and calm demeanor during each lesson were truly commendable, especially during challenging driving situations. I particularly appreciated how he tailored his teaching style to suit my learning needs, providing clear explanations and constructive feedback that helped me improve rapidly. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better driving instructor, and I highly recommend Mohammed Riaz to anyone looking for professional and patient instruction. Thank you for providing such a high-quality service.
