“Martin Gunter was an amazing instructor and put me at ease from my very first lesson. I was never put in situations where I felt out of my depth or uncomfortable. His experience as a driver and driving instructor was really comforting. He took things at my pace was always very explanatory, and if I didn’t understand the first time, he would explain in different ways until I did. I passed first time confidently and would highly recommend him to anyone! I went from being a complete beginner and having never driven a car to passing in 22 hours with Martin’s help.”

“My instructor Michael Joshua was absolutely fantastic. I started in January and was passed in March. Couldn’t have done it without him got all my fears of roundabouts and slip roads under control. Anyone in Plymouth wanting to learn Automatic Michael with AA is absolutely brilliant. Thankyou Michael for all your help and support.”

“Martin Gunter is an exceptional driving instructor—patient, clear, and genuinely supportive. His lessons were engaging, thorough, and tailored exactly to my needs, building my confidence behind the wheel with every session. Thanks to Martin, I passed my driving test first time! I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive—he’s truly the best around. It seems as though all his students pass first time too :)”

“I’ve recently had my first ever driving lesson with Samson Samuel and I couldn’t be more satisfied. He was very calm and thorough. He also made sure to make me feel at ease and boost my confidence which was very important for me cause I was very nervous. I would definitely recommend the AA Driving School and Samson Samuel as the instructor.”

“I had Mohammad Halim as my instructor, He provided great written guidance which you can cover outside of lessons and especially before my test. He is methodical making sure you have covered the full syllabus and means you’re always very ready for test. He would always encourage and motivate me when I was feeling nervous and stress. I passed this morning at Guildford’s test centre. I highly recommend him. Thank you so much for everything wish all the best”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Raj. From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease and built up my confidence behind the wheel. Raj didn’t just teach me how to pass my test; he made sure I became a safe and confident driver. His guidance and encouragement made such a difference, and I’m so grateful to have had him as my instructor. Thank you!!!”

“My instructor , Ahmad Zia Kohistani , I just want to say a huge thank you to Ahmad for all his help in getting me to pass my driving test today! From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease and really built my confidence behind the wheel. Ahmad is such a great teacher—he’s patient, clear with his instructions, and really knows how to break things down so they make sense. Every lesson was not only informative but also enjoyable, and he always made sure I felt ready. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, Ahmad is the one !”

“I have had a great experience with AA Driving School over the past 6 months. Fatmir Beqiri was an amazing instructor and made learning to drive easy and fun. Thanks to his teaching and patience (and chatting!) I passed my test on the first go. I would recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive for the first time.”

“Have had over 70 hours done with AA and finally passed my exam at 3 attempt!! Had two different instructors, had to change as one of them wasn’t available for my exam date. The booking is easy via AA website, the instructors are friendly and professional. Special thanks to Anthony and Jahir for being lovely instructors and helping me pass my test!! The lessons are a bit pricy but so are any driving classes I assume, therefore no problem.”

“I recently had my first driving lesson. My instructor is Samson. He is an amazing instructor , very thorough and clear about every detail and every piece of information you need to learn. He was very down to earth and calm and helped me feel confident throughout the lesson. I am excited for my next lesson and I am confident that with Samson as my instructor I will pass my test when the time comes”
