Thank you so much to AA! I passed my exam successfully! A special thanks to my instructor, Shelly, for her patient guidance and detailed teaching. Her expertise and care helped me master driving skills quickly and pass the test with confidence. I truly appreciate her support!

I passed my driving exam with AA and my instructor was Ahmad Zia Kohistani. I’m incredibly grateful to my driving instructor Ahmad for his dedication and support throughout my learning journey. Always punctual and professional, he helped me achieve my dream of passing my driving exam with confidence. His friendly yet firm approach ensured I understood and corrected my mistakes, while his patience made the learning experience smooth and stress-free. There were times when I made mistakes, but he always took the time to explain them in detail. He would even draw diagrams on paper and used two toy cars to demonstrate what I could have done better, making it easier for me to understand and improve. He covered every aspect of driving in detail, not just to help me pass the test but to shape me into a responsible and safe driver for life. His clear explanations, encouragement, and structured lessons gave me the skills and confidence I needed on the road. I truly appreciate his commitment to my success and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent instructor. If you are in hand of Zia you are sorted for life. Thank you again.

Super happy with the AA driving school and Najam (Naj) Qureshi. Naj was an excellent instructor for our daughter - calm, professional and friendly with a good sense of humour ! He prepared her brilliantly for the test date and she passed with confidence first time in Morden. Couldn't recommend Naj highly enough. Found the AA Driving school booking platform really user friendly too. Thank you !

I am more than happy with the AA Driving School as I obtained my driving licence in 6 months having never touched a wheel before! It all comes down to my amazing instructor, Fatmir, with whom I felt confident and at ease from the very beginning. I really enjoyed my lessons in his company as he was very supportive and always gave clear and useful feedbacks. I would strongly recommend The AA Driving School to anyone looking to get their licence!

My driving instructor Freddie Asare has been so paitent and helpful with me. I was scared of driving before but he has helped me build confidence and it’s given me confidence to drive on the road. Again I thank AA and my instructor who has helped me on this journey.

It has been wonderful taking my driving lessons with AA driving school. My Driving instructor Shelly Sokhal Is an amazing instructor. She was so patient with me and gave me all the support and encouragement which made me confident in myself. I was able to pass my drive test on my first attempt. I will recommend her to anyone for driving lessons.

Chose AA driving school after my previous driving Instructor left from pass & go, 2 weeks before my test, pass & go didn’t reply and didn’t find me another deriving instructor until a week prior to my test in this time I booked AA through online, the driving instructor was lovely, no pressure on booking more lessons, did an assessment lesson with me and another lesson prior to test , helped me a lot, I passed my test first time with 2 minors, good availability throughout as I didn’t have a lot of time and it was Christmas period. Even reminded to to grab my glasses as I almost forget them for my test

I had a disappointing experience with TheAA Driving School on 31/01/2025. My instructor insisted on seeing my National Insurance Number, which I don't have, and refused to accept my provisional driving license alone. This led to a 38-minute delay while I contacted the DVLA for verification. The instructor's unprofessional remark about throwing students out of the car if they were rude created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Additionally, my lesson was cut short by 18 minutes. Overall, the instructor's behaviour was dismissive and unprofessional, falling below the high standards I expect from AA Driving School. I felt discriminated against and hope this review prompts improvements.

AA driving school is a good one to choose. I’ve passed my driving test in Mitcham today on the first attempt! Instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar ( Raj) has been amazing and knew the right things to correct me on coming from a left hand drive country. Patient, flexible and helpful and funny when he wants to be!

I was signed up with the AA Driving School from October 2024. During that time, I had two one-hour lessons. That is all. We were off to a bad start when the instructor cancelled the first lesson. I knew then, it wouldn't improve. I will say that the instructor himself, Anthony Adams, was friendly, informative, knowledgeable and supportive. I certainly don't blame him for the way things went. He works flat out, six days a week, trying to help students pass their tests. Due to the high turnover and the way AA have structured this driving school business, each instructor is pretty much on a zero-hours contract with AA. There's no way you'll ever get consistent teaching like this. Not a chance. My lessons were repeatedly cancelled, sometimes at the last minute, or moved to other days (and I do have to say, Anthony was very good at letting me know about this). I wasn't learning a thing. Especially when I was having weeks at a time between lessons. After having two lessons in four months and having three in a row moved or cancelled, I'd had enough. I don't blame Anthony one bit, and if he went independent, I absolutely would learn with him. He's a great teacher. I've given two stars instead of one because there was nothing wrong with his teaching - he was amazing. The AA, on the other hand, have no business running this driving school. It messes about teachers and students alike. Stick to breakdown cover, AA.

My daughter had Timothy Vaughan who gave 54 auto lessons did not teach her the right way made her change her test from southend to norwhich with soemone and presumably sold it to another client forcing her to change test as shes not ready and cant use his car black mailing her then a week before test tells her i think you could of passed what a cheat and used her for her money my daughter then managed to change her test to southend and he kept pestering her for 2 hour lessons 3 months before her test when she was ready 6 months ago then all of a sudden messages her saying he cant give lessons anymore due to cutting back hours. So after all these lessons he failed to take her to her test used her for the money and taught her many wrong things that our new instructor told us its wrong he even said you cant use reverse camera while parking he even gave her a number of someone who buys and sells tests in area he is a FRAUD do not take lessons with him he will teach you the wrong way i have never had anyone like this in 35 years of teaching my other 3 children all learnt in 30 to 35 lessons and passed AVOID AVOID THIS PERSON TIMOTHY VAUGHAN we will be seaking compendsation and contacting trading standards
