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.

Darius Jaan is an excellent driving instructor who is patient, calm, and explains things clearly. As a result I passed first time. He has an automatic Skoda Kamiq with a reversing camera which makes parking much easier.

I highly recommend Elias as an excellent driving instructor. I've taken my practical test several times and often failed due to nerves and pressure on the day. However, after just a few lessons with him, I finally passed my test, and I couldn’t be happier! If you're looking for someone kind who makes you feel safe and comfortable, definitely give him a call—he’ll really help you succeed!

Dear Ms Farideh Sarvari, I would like to express my very special and heartfelt thanks to you for all your support and dedication during my driving lessons and in preparing me for my driving test. You have been incredibly kind, friendly, and like a caring sister throughout my learning journey. Your patience meant so much to me, and I truly appreciate how you carefully and consistently reminded me of every detail, both big and small. You are highly experienced, professional, and truly knowledgeable in your work, and your confidence and expertise gave me great reassurance throughout both my practice and my test. Your support, effort, and commitment played a huge part in my success, and I am deeply grateful for everything you have done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and patience. With my warmest regards, Farangis Simaei ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🪷🪻🌸🌹🪻🪷🌸🌹

I honestly can’t recommend Colin enough. For 19 years I wanted to drive but never managed to push myself to do it because of health issues and anxiety. Starting lessons felt really daunting for me, but Colin made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Over 40 hours of lessons he was patient, calm, and always supportive, which helped build my confidence week by week. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or pressured, even on the days when my nerves got the better of me. Thanks to Colin’s teaching I passed my test first time with no minors, which still feels unreal to me! I genuinely couldn’t have done it without his encouragement and belief in me. I’ll actually miss our Wednesday drives and chats — something I never thought I’d say when I first started learning. If you’re nervous about learning to drive or just want an instructor who really cares about his students, Colin is the one to go to. Thank you again for everything, Colin!

I just passed my driving test today, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had Junaid as my instructor! From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His teaching style is not only professional but also incredibly understanding—he’s patient, clear in his explanations, and really knows how to adapt to your learning pace. Junaid was always calm and encouraging, which helped me stay focused and relaxed throughout the lessons. He broke down tricky maneuvers into manageable steps, and his tips and advice were invaluable on the day of the test. Thanks to him, I felt fully prepared and was able to pass with ease. If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend Junaid! You’ll be in great hands.

Elias successfully helped me pass my exam after I had failed 2 previous exams with another instructor. In just a few weeks off lessons, I felt my confidence and driving on the road dramatically improve, leading me to pass with just 3 minors.

I was driving round the Fox Hollies roundabout and was cut up by the driving instructor with the number plate AJ62 CSV driving a black Peugeot. Dangerous driving! Bad example for a driving instructor to set!
