Dilip Palmer is not going to sugarcoat things with you. He will give you the constructive feedback necessary to make you test ready ASAP. I was able to pass first time with just 2 minors. Would highly recommend going with AA, and specifically with Dilip at Mill Hill or Hendon.

Learning with Junaid was really smooth and easy. He made sure I knew and understood everything I needed to pass my test. Junaid is very affirming and supportive which is really helpful as an anxious new driver! Junaid’s training made it possible for me to pass my test first time with only 3 faults! Thanks Junaid!

Ahmad was so flexible around my working/studying schedule and made sure he did everything he could to ensure I was ready for my test. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. I passed first time thanks to him! I would definitely recommend :)

Kathryn was wonderful! I felt so comfortable and confident while driving with her. She was very calm and observant, making sure to point out where I could improve! I had a fantastic time doing my practice restricted test with her. :))

I began my driving journey with Mark, n Ayr, starting with manual lessons. He provided excellent training, clearly explaining road rules, signs, and the mirror-signal-manoeuvre technique. His calm and professional approach built my confidence and gave me a strong foundation. Later, I switched to automatic lessons, and Mark recommended Jamie—his own instructor—who turned out to be just as fantastic. Jamie was supportive, encouraging, and flexible with scheduling around my work hours. His honest feedback, even when it meant raising his voice, was always with the intent to help me focus and improve—and it worked. He provided ample practice and guidance, preparing me thoroughly for the test. Both Mark and Jamie are experienced, patient, and dedicated instructors who genuinely care about their students’ success. Thanks to their support, I passed my driving test with confidence. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, reliable, and encouraging driving instructors.

Was able to transfer instructors from my home to uni town, where I passed 2nd time. Big thanks to Matt and Ricco for all their guidance.

I spoke to a lady from AA DRIVING SCHOOL who was putting my 17 year old child down for lessons.. she asked if my daughter has any thing she requires.. my daughter said just for her mum or uncle to sit in the back so she felt safe with a stranger.. the AA worker stated this could only happen on a couple of occasions but driving instructors don’t feel comfortable doing this so maybe no one will offer her any driving lessons. So we asked for a female instructor instead, we were told this wasn’t possible as it’s only 20% driving instructors. The lady spoke to me and my daughter in an aggravated manner because we were adamant for the safety of my child, there will always be a family member in the car. The woman made clear we most likely won’t get any driving instructors offering there service to my child. This will be taken further as that was an appalling service from someone who has to only answer a phone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend – Passed First Time! I can’t thank Imran Siddique enough for helping me pass my driving test first time! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and calm — exactly the kind of instructor you want when you're feeling nervous or unsure. What stood out to me most was his teaching style: he’s firm when needed (which I really appreciated), but always supportive and encouraging. His high standards pushed me to improve with every lesson, and I always felt I was in safe hands. He was also super flexible with scheduling lessons around my availability, which made a huge difference with my busy diary. If you're looking for someone who’s genuinely invested in your success, I couldn’t recommend Imran more. Thank you again for everything!

My instructor Arefah was amazing!! I’ve had bad experiences with two previous private instructors however she was patient with me and helped me so much throughout my training. Without her I definitely couldn’t have passed my test. She was well organised and thorough in each lesson and we worked together to strengthen my weak areas in a short amount of time. She had so much faith in me too and without it I definitely wouldn’t have had the confidence in me to have passed!

My driving instructor Martin Gunter was an incredible driving instructor. I and anyone else who gets him in the future would be lucky to have him. He’s kind helpful and always helps you with your mistakes and will always listen. Couldn’t of done it without him.

Michael is a good driving instructor, as he is patient and nicely correct any faults that I made. This is a very nice driving experience for me. And he always told me to be confident and encouraged me that I would pass. Finally, I passed my test. I am excited.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Passed First Time with Only Two Minors! - (Leegreenaa) After a tough start with a previous instructor I really struggled to connect with, I made the decision to switch – and honestly, it was the best thing I ever did. My new instructor was an absolute game-changer. From the very first lesson, he was calm, knowledgeable, super friendly, and always professional. He explained everything clearly, built up my confidence quickly, and never made me feel judged for asking questions or making mistakes. Thanks to his guidance and support, I passed my driving test first time with Lee only two minors – something I didn’t think was possible just a few months ago. If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares, knows what they're doing, and helps you feel at ease behind the wheel, I can't recommend him enough!

Blerim was the best instructor I could have asked for! From the very start he made me feel relaxed and confident behind the wheel. He always remains calm and not only teaches you how to pass the test but also how to feel confident and safe when Independently driving after you pass. He explains everything very clearly and if you’re unsure he uses visual aids to help your understanding with manoeuvres. I was delighted to have passed first time with 2 minors with his teaching. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I'm super proud to have passed and it certainly wouldn't have been possible without the AA driving school and my instructor Mr Andy Carrick. So thank you very much.

I feel truly blessed to have had Mr ARSLAN AHMED CHOWDRY as my driving instructor. More than just teaching me how to drive, he gave me confidence when I doubted myself and motivated me whenever I felt nervous. His calm words and constant encouragement made all the difference. Every lesson felt like learning with a friend who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. I will always be grateful for his patience, kindness, and the positive energy he brought to each session. Thanks to him, I now drive with confidence, and I’ll never forget this journey.

Aa Driving School the best one . I want to give a huge thank you to JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( RAJ ) for stepping in and bringing his car for my driving test today. Even though I hadn’t driven the car before, he made me feel calm, comfortable, and fully supported from start to finish. He showed up on time, was super friendly, and made sure everything was in place for the test. His help honestly made a big difference—and I PASSED! 🎉 If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and helpful, I 100% recommend him. Couldn’t have done it without you—thank you again!

Thank you Ahmad Zia Kohistani! Zia is a great instructor. He was very patient with me and taught the skills by breaking them down into components that I can understand and follow. He understood what I needed and adapted the lessons to that and to how I learn best. Zia, I am grateful for your help. Thank you very much!
