If I could give it no stars I would. this frist lesson i booked for my 17 year old was cancelled by email a few minutes passed midnight on the day. The next was a no show and the instructor did not answer his mobile phone, the only way to contact the AA was through an online chat which I did. They also tried to contact the instructor but had no response. on the system it showed that the lesson had been rescheduled for an hour later. Again the instructor failed to show up. Another long online "chat" and I was no further forward other than they would respond in 48 hours. I have received no response. The only way I can get a ull refund ids through the account however the lesson on 7 April is shown as having happened. There is no phone number to call and speak to a person. I am now engaged with another online chat to try and get it sorted so I can get my money back and find a reliable instructor. The AA's answer is that they are self employed. I expected more from the AA.

I passed at Morden test center and had a great experience with my driving instructor Atiqa. She was a fantastic instructor who was calm, kind and incredibly supportive throughout my learning. She explained everything clearly and always made me feel at ease. She also shared helpful resources and links outside lessons which really supported my progress.

I learned to drive with Atiqa Javid after previously trying to learn with two different instructors. I cannot believe how quickly I was able to pass first time (three months of lessons) with so few minors under her teaching! She is a very patient and dedicated instructor who is well suited to learners lacking confidence - she always remembered which areas I struggled with in each lesson and encouraged me to build my confidence with these tricky aspects of driving, whilst making sure that I was not overwhelmed. I cannot recommend Atiqa enough, thank you for everything that you do!

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with my instructor, Ahmad Zia Kohistani. He was incredibly supportive, and always made me feel at ease, even when I was nervous. Every lesson was well-structured and tailored to help me improve quickly while building my confidence on the road. What really stood out was his ability to explain things clearly and calmly, which made a huge difference in my learning. He was always punctual, professional, and genuinely cared about my progress. In particular, he made sure that during my lessons we focussed on my weakness and worked on them together until I was confident. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my test feeling confident and well-prepared. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor!

Just passed my driving test thanks to my brilliant driving instructor Kelly! She’s been so supportive, reassuring, patient and given clear instructions throughout. My lessons were well structured and Kelly was happy to go through any steps as many times as I needed. I often get very nervous in test conditions but Kelly’s support meant I went into my test feeling calm and confident.

I had an excellent experience with Shahid Razzaq from AA. After trying a few others who had great reviews, I didn’t feel like I was getting the focused support I needed. In some cases, lessons were interrupted or not fully dedicated to my learning, which made it harder to progress. This instructor was completely different. Every lesson was structured, focused, and tailored to help me improve. They were patient, clear in their explanations, and made sure I understood everything step by step. What stood out most was how they helped build my confidence and kept me calm leading up to my test. Thanks to their support and dedication, I passed successfully. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and genuinely supportive instructor.

Passed today thanks to amazing support from my instructor, Atiqa Javid! Throughout the lessons she was so patient and kind, always answering questions readily both in the lessons and over text, super patient in explaining anything you need, never appearing nervous, and never doing anything that might make you feel stressed. She was a breath of fresh air to have and made the lessons truly educational and fun. Big thank you!!

I passed my driving test on my first try, which I’m really happy about. Before learning, I had never driven a car, so everything was completely new to me. I was very nervous at the beginning and felt unsure about being on the road. My instructor, Atiqa Javed, made a big difference. She was very kind, calm, and supportive throughout my lessons. She explained things in a simple way and never rushed me. Even when I made mistakes, she stayed patient and helped me learn from them. Step by step, she helped me build my confidence and improve my driving skills. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I was able to stay calm during my test and pass on my first attempt. I’m really grateful for her support.

I had the pleasure to be taught by Atiqa and I can't recommend her highly enough! I recently passed my driving test and honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She was incredibly kind and patient from the very first lesson, and as a complete beginner she really helped me build my confidence on the road. Every lesson felt calm, supportive, and encouraging. I’m so grateful for her teaching and would 100% recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

🌟 Feedback for Driving Instructor Nikolay Panev I want to say a huge thank you to my instructor, Nikolay Panev, for everything he has done for me during my driving lessons. When I first started, I had absolutely no experience — I had never even sat in the driver’s seat before. Nikolay was patient, calm, and always made me feel safe, even when I felt nervous or unsure. Because of his guidance, I didn’t just learn how to pass a test — I learned how to be a confident, responsible, and safe driver. He explained everything clearly, corrected me with kindness, and always believed in my progress. That support made all the difference. Pass the test with one minor mistake. I’m truly grateful for his professionalism, patience, and dedication. Thank you, Nikolay, for helping me achieve something so important in my life. You are an amazing instructor!

Had an amazing experience with the AA driving school; my instructor was Andrew Carrick. He was an paitent instructor who helped me gain the confidence to be able to drive, since, to begin with, I was a nervous driver. He was a very understanding instructor when it came to the mistakes I made, who would help me understand what I did, explain how to improve, and show me what to do next time. Andrew helped me understand how to do all the maneuvers to get me test-ready by showing me how to do them until I felt ready, and as I was doing them, he talked me through each step until I could do them on my own. Throughout the time it took me to get test-ready, Andrew was consistently professional, supportive, patient, and understanding, explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend him as an instructor.

Outstanding experience with AA Driving School. My instructor Junaid was very patient, professional and supportive throughout the lessons. His patience was truly endless, even when I made the same mistake twice". 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, with only 2 minor faults. Highly recommended

I passed first time at the chillwell test centre in Nottingham thanks to being taught by Michelle Carter. Incredibly knoweledgable, understanding, and considerate instructor that makes you feel valued and confident as a student. She has good postcode flexibility and is an all-round great person to drive with. Highly recommend booking with Michelle Carter if you are learning to drive in Nottingham, with the AA driving school

I just passed my driving test with 0 minors! A massive shout out to the best instructor ever jesuthasan rajkumar(Raj) he’s super knowledgeable and really patient, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Thanks to their patience, clear guidance, and constant encouragement, I passed my driving test first time with 0 minors! He explained everything in a way that made me feel calm and confident behind the wheel, especially when I was nervous before my test. Every lesson felt structured and supportive, and they always took the time to make sure I fully understood things rather than rushing through them. I’d highly recommend Raj anyone learning to drive – especially if you struggle with nerves like I did. Thank you again for helping me achieve this milestone! Raj is the best🙏🏽

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Mohbubur Choudhury! I’m so pleased to say I passed my driving test on the first attempt and that’s entirely down to his excellent teaching. From the very beginning, he was professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made even the most challenging aspects of driving feel manageable. His calm and patient approach really helped build my confidence. What truly sets him apart is his ability to adapt each lesson to suit your pace and learning style. He pays close attention to detail, gives constructive feedback and always encourages you to improve without ever making you feel pressured. His positive attitude and reassurance made every lesson enjoyable and productive. Thanks to his guidance, I not only passed my test but also feel like a safe and confident driver for the future. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, supportive, and highly skilled driving instructor. Thank you so much for all your help! I truly appreciate it.
