“Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) was my driving instructor. He really helped me to learn and correct my driving. Passed on first attempt. The way he explains and makes you learn is really what you would need on your test day. Can't thank him enough. I would totally recommend him for anyone who wants to get his driving license as soon as possible.”

“I had Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) as my driving instructor. He was very encouraging and taught me all the skills needed to be a good driver. His teaching style was very helpful and we would go through any mistakes I have made along the drive to make sure I understand how to approach the situation differently next time.”

“I had Jesuthasan Rajkumar as my instructor. He is a knowledgeable instructor who helped me learn to drive at a pace comfortable for me. he was good at maintaining a calm atmosphere during the learning and when practising for the test. The AA driving school is not the cheapest however in my experience using it I found it to be worth the money.”

“Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) is an excellent driving instructor. Because of pandemic situation I was waiting long time to get a chance to book my driving test. Mr Raj help me to book the test and he provided excellent lessons to brush up my skills and confidence in a short period of time. I would say his main qualities are professionalism, excellence in communication and patience. Thank you so much Raj for your huge support you given to pass my test very quickly.”

“If your based in Newcastle upon tyne then lessons with David Gaul (sorry if that's spelt wrong) are worth the wait if he's fully booked, he got me from a nervous wreck to passing my test in 6 months learn something new every lesson and he's full of positivity, highly recommended him”

“I had Craig as my instructor, as a new instructor his lessons were at a reduced rate , but this did not impact his teaching ability. He is friendly and patient and put me at ease . He is thorough in his teaching and this sjows as I passed first time . Would definitely recommend him”

“Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) the best instructor I could have asked for. I've been driving with my dad the last year so I lacked the basic foundations of driving and Raj was able to help me build that up two weeks within my first test. I passed the first time with only four minors when my biggest issue was checking the mirrors which could have been a serious fault. Looking forward to Raj helping me get onto the motorway in a few months.”

“Faisal Anwar is a great instructor - I passed the practical test from the first try! I had lessons with 2 other instructors before him and they couldn't get me past my driving anxiety. Faisal's unique and calm approach made me feel comfortable with driving. I highly recommend him.”

“Very pleased with my instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar can't recommend him enough, after trying and being disappointed with other 2 instructors finally found the right one. Raj is such a nice person I always felt relaxed during my lessons, even though I'm 8 months pregnant now he always reassured me that I can do it and he was right I've passed today my practical test on my first try. I can't thank him enough for making my dream come true to get my licence before I deliver my baby. Thank you Raj will miss my lessons with you!”

“Highly recommended AA driving school for building the foundational techniques to pass the driving test. Mark, my instructor was very skilled in articulating steps to build proper driving technique. The experience was calming, and learning felt easy and structured. With each lesson, I felt more and more confident to drive safely in UK roads. As a result, I passed! Then I took a few extra class to get used to UK Motorway driving with instructor Raj Jesudasan, he is very professional and friendly with his motorway driving teaching and still knows how to make the driving experience stress free. Taking lessons with Raj was a pleasure and worth it! Thanks AA.”

“I took Refresher Lessons with Raj, not having driven for more than 10 years and never before in the UK (i.e. on the left side of the road). Raj was extremely patient and more-so I liked his approach to learning, planning ahead, explaining the hiccups and where I needed to improve. He took me from, what I felt was very close to zero, to being a fairly confident driver in 4 sessions (8 hours of driving). He has been encouraging me continuously which helped me to progress at a fast pace and to being confident in my driving skills. I also liked his honesty as, although we initially discussed to top-up with 2 extra sessions on the 3 bought initially, he thought, due to my good progress, that I only needed 1 more extra session and he openly said this. I was very scared to go behind the wheel again so I’m very happy I chose Raj as an instructor. I highly recommend Raj if your goal is to become a good driver.”

“The AA Driving school made me happy by providing me with a great driving instructor named JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( Raj ). He knows all the rules of driving very well and is such an encouraging man wants everyone to pass. He also knows the ins and outs of driving so well and his test route predictions are always correct! I was very happy that i came across Raj, helped me pass after 2 previous fails, would recommend to anyone learning to drive no matter the experience.”

“I highly recommend Faisal Anwar - he is a committed educator whose patience, encouragement and calm nature are a god send. He truly dedicates himself to his students. I never felt rushed as he always made it super clear that he could re explain something or I could have another go if I didn't quite get it. Brilliant teacher who helped me pass with zero faults. Thank you Faisal!”

“Christopher Stewart was my son's instructor, absolutely legend ***** He was calm and explained everything clearly. Always polite, on time and incredibly professional. My son is just 17, no previous experience driving, passed his test on the first time. Cannot thank him enough! If you are looking for an instructor around Swanley, Dartford area look no further. The AA website and booking system are quite a let down though, needs urgent improvements! I'm very glad Chris more than made up for it.”

“To my fellow newbie drivers, I highly recommend taking lessons with Deepak Patel. A single lesson with him taught me every safe-driving tips and tricks that accessors will watch closely. He made me feel safe but also didn't take over my driving. He also gave me the reasoning behind every tips he taught and is very informative when asked questions driving-related. He's also very honest when giving feedback, which I believe is very important when learning to drive. If you're nervous about your capability, sit in a lesson with Deepak. You'll find yourself practicing these tips in no time and having a good laugh with him after the lesson.”
