“Imran Siddique is an amazing driving instructor – extremely patient, clear, and supportive. He holds a lot of experience, is thoroughly committed and is very knowledgeable about the routes and nuances. He trains you up step by step, explaining everything clearly and providing constructive feedback. He made me feel confident behind the wheel and helped me pass first time. Highly recommended!”

“I’d like to give a huge thank you to Shelly Sokhal, an exceptional driving instructor. With her patience, encouragement, and support, I was able to pass my driving test on my first attempt! Shelly is not only highly professional but also calm and reassuring, which made learning to drive such a positive and enjoyable experience. From the very first lesson, she created a comfortable environment and her supportive approach helped me feel at ease throughout. She gives you the confidence to become a safe and capable driver. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, and I can’t recommend Shelly highly enough!”

“I had an amazing driving instructor, her name is Farideh Sarvari. She was so thorough and precise with her explanations and she has put so much attention to details in my driving skills. If I was struggling with spiral roundabouts then she will go again and again until I feel confident to do it on my own. I had so much confidence in her that the way she communicates and explain is at her expertise. I passed on my first attempt with just 2 minors. I am so glad to learn my driving from Farideh, Thankyou so much.”

“I had my driving lessons with Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) from AA Driving School and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Raj is very patient, calm, and explains everything clearly, which made me feel confident on the road. He always encouraged me to improve while making each lesson comfortable and stress-free. Thanks to his guidance, I was well prepared for my test. I would highly recommend Raj to anyone looking for a supportive and professional driving instructor.”

“Elvis Tait was driving instructor for my child…he had 4-5 lessons with her.. I didn’t know you wasn’t allowed to answer the phone whilst teaching driving…I was surprised because Elvis answered his phone EVERYTIME telling people he would call them back or if they can call him back. He also was very complimentary to my 17 year old daughter, telling her her hair looks really nice as he said he recognized she did her hair differently on the the 3rd or 4th lesson.. this made me very uncomfortable but we thought maybe he was trying to make her comfortable.. weird but he is old so I pushed it aside .. the next lesson-last lesson because I cancelled him was the moment when my child was on a main road at traffic lights and the car was silent and Elvis said to my child from nothing something like ‘did you know there are 50 states in the USA and 30 out of 50 of them states it’s legal for 11 year olds to get married’… i intervened in the conversation as I didn’t think it appropriate to have that conversation with my child and asked him of his thoughts in which he stated he thought it was too young for an 11 year old to get married, he stated that it’s even too young for 19 or 21 or 25 year olds to get married.. which I found very weird considering he is putting an 11 year old In the same bracket as an adult.. it just felt like grooming behavior and I am very glad I was there to protect my child from this disgusting conversation and any future inappropriate conversations. I told him at the end of the lesson that the conversation was inappropriate, I didn’t need to tell him what part, he knew already and he apologized..although Elvis introduced himself using Good To Go driving school, I had actually booked him via AA DRIVING SCHOOL. we changed driving instructor to another AA instructor.”

“It made me incredibly happy, I had all the support from my instructor, very thorough explanations and reasons for being safe on the road and how to improve from mistakes. My instructor made every lesson a positive outcome, seeing the positive side of learning with also seeing where I went wrong. Very happy with my journey being able to stop and start to being completely independent now.”

“Danielle Devshi in Birmingham is hands down the most appalling driving instructor I have ever encountered or heard of. Quite how she is allowed to teach I'm not sure. I went for a refresher lesson with her after several years not driving, and I told her I was nervous. She was playing with the pedals constantly even when I was driving very slowly. She would break for us coming up to junctions so that I was stopped several feet behind the line and then asked me to do my observations and pull off. She absolutely freaked out and shouted at me when I tried to change down from third to second gear - admittedly I didn't need to and the car probably would have jerked slightly but this was not dangerous. I have no idea how she manages with beginners in the car when inevitably they do make mistakes. She has completely shattered my already low confidence and I am still working up the courage to find a new instructor.”

“I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Arefah, and I couldn't recommend her more! She was incredibly patient, supportive, and made learning to drive a really positive experience. Lessons were tailored to my needs, ensuring I felt comfortable and prepared for my test. Thanks to Arefah I was able to confidently take my test in Yeading and pass the first time.”

“I want to say a huge thanks also to my instructor, Abdul - a very knowledgeable instructor who breaks down complicated areas very well using diagrams. Also, for being incredibly patient, helping me focus on my weaker areas until I felt confident and easing my anxiety every step of the way, which led me to a PASS first time! :)”
