“Faisal Anwar was my driving instructor and he was brilliant. I was very nervous on my first lesson but Faisal made me feel comfortable and confident when driving. He explained my errors well and taught me to parallel park which was my weak point. He was brilliant. I recommend Faisal to everyone learning to drive.”

“Before learning with Raj, I previously had a driving instructor who wasn’t very good at teaching at an efficient pace. Within 2 hours Raj taught me more than my previous instructor did in 8 hours. Raj guided me and taught me well. He made sure I understood everything before carrying onto another topic. I am proud to say that I passed my driving test with 0 faults, acing the test!”

“My instructor from AA driving school (Mrs Mandip Kaur Bhatti) is an excellent instructor with outstanding standard of teaching. She makes you feel comfortable and confident when driving, treats all learners with respect. I would recommend Ms Bhatti to all new learners!”

“Choosing AA driving school was genuinely the best decision I've made. My instructor, Jesuthasan Rajkumar (aka the best driving instructor), was super friendly and really encouraging. He believed in me and increased my confidence in driving and always gave me countless opportunities to fix my mistakes. He really helped me ease my nerves right before the test as well by reassuring my driving skills and capabilites. He would always review my driving at the end of each lesson and ask me plenty of questions to test my knowledge which helped me to reflect on my mistakes. I strongly recommend the AA driving school and especially Rajkumar.”

“Learning to drive with Jason Lee was a really positive experience from start to finish. Jason's passion for his work was encouraging for me, and he went the extra mile to help me understand the parts of driving that I found the trickiest. I felt like he genuinely cared about my progress and often came up with new ways to explain things until they clicked for me. With Jason's help, I passed my driving test on the first try and felt very confident going into it. He didn't just focus on the test though; he wanted to make sure I became a skilled driver overall. Jason put high emphasis on making me feel comfortable on the roads after passing the test. I genuinely enjoyed my lessons with Jason. He was a friendly and kind person, and we always had a good laugh, without every losing a strong professionalism. Jason knew the DVLA test inside out and left me feeling well-prepared on test day. He was also flexible and adaptable. If I wanted to focus on specific skills during a lesson, he would quickly adjust the plan. I was also in a strange situation where I did not live in the city where I wanted to pass my test. Jason catered for this by adjusting his schedule to allow for longer lessons enabling me to get to the city of my test to practice on the relevant roads. Thanks, Jason”

The price is reasonable and he is very considerate. The car is clean and in perfect condition. His is best instructor from all four instructors that trained me. Thanks as I passed my practical driving test today.”

“Passed the first time with my amazing instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar (RAJ). He is the best of the best, he made me feel so confident from the beginning till the end. He helped me go through all the steps very easily. He’s very friendly and so easygoing you can talk about any fears or worries he will help you out. He will help you achieve all your goals and he will make sure you’re ready before taking the test. Thanks to him I’ve passed first time, he’s very encouraging and again couldn’t have done it without him as I’ve tried different companies before him and no one ever matched his energy! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to pass first time!”

“I was really pleased and fortunate to have such a caring and attentive instructor as Chris Harman who helped me pass first time! Proud of myself but most of all my instructor deserves all the credit. He explained everything to me in a systematic manner without me feeling overly stressed in our lessons and I always had a good connection with him. He made sure I nailed down which areas were my biggest weaknesses and had a very fun charismatic attitude to teaching people how to drive. Couldn't be happier with the result!”

“Had my first lesson today with Cristian and I was very impressed. From the start of the lesson he went through everything in the car with me and what the functions were. He had time to explain different driving techniques that made sense and easy to understand so that I could put it into practice right away. Looking forward to yhe next lesson.”

“I had a motorway driving lesson with Jesuthasan Rajkumar today and it was a great lesson. I felt I learnt a lot about motorway driving and felt a lot more confident in my driving abilities. He was very relaxed and friendly, and I felt I gained a lot from the lesson.”

“I had an amazingly understanding driving instructor (Demetrios), who looked beyond just driving and tried to understand what was going on in my life so he could tailor the our lessons around it. He always pushed me to develop but didn't do so in an aggressive or intrusive way, I have to say I have never developed a new skill so fast in my life. On top of being a great instructor he's overall just a lovely person so highly recommend him for any new learners.”
