“I had Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) as my instructor in Mitcham (London). He was encouraging, flexible, patient and positive. He prepared me for the test and also gave me tips and driving advice that will be useful for life. I passed my practical driving test on my first attempt, with only two minor faults. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for driving lessons in an automatic car.”

“I had Faisal Anwar as an instructor just before my test. He was very helpful and was able to teach me a lot within the limited time until my test and this caused me to pass. Overall, I highly recommend.”

“I had Leigh Robertson as my instructor and she is absolutely amazing! Helped me get back on the road after not having driving lessons for several years. I passed my test on the 18th of April! I would definitely recommend having Leigh as an instructor! Very polite and made me feel comfortable throughout my lessons! After having several instructors Leigh was by far the best! I would highly recommend Leigh for anyone looking to start driving lessons or who wants to get back into driving!”

“Thanks to Mr. Rizwan Ahmed (AA Driving school, Cardiff, Wales) who was my instructor. He shows at-most sincerity in teaching his students. His instructions are very simple, clear and to the point . Since he explains everything with the help of illustrations as-well , it helped me to understand things better. He formulates study plan according to each students need and modify the classes accordingly. He is always on time and never cancelled or rescheduled any classes .He doesn't recommend unnecessary lessons. Would highly recommend him. He is the best. If you are in Cardiff region and looking for an automatic driving car instructor, go with Mr. Rizwan A!!”

“Ron Hemers is my instructor, as someone with strong anxiety day to day, Ron has really helped me with more then just learning how to drive. He has a true gift in giving information in an easy, doable and understanding way and truly has my safety and also wellbeing in mind and deserves the best ! :)”

“Learnt to drive with the AA Driving school and I passed first time! My instructor was amazing, his name was Salam Khan. I would recommend the AA to anyone looking to learn to drive. My instructor was very friendly but wasn’t afraid to tell me where I needed to improve. My confidence on the road is great, I feel well equipped and will be sending my siblings their way too.”

“I was very pleased with the AA. The rates are very competitive, booking the lessons was easy and timely (as opposed to other companies who never responded or who had long waiting times), and the process was very professional. I commend my instructor Paguin for his strong knowledge, his encouragement and his feedback. I hadn't driven in over 20 years, and that in another country, and I needless to say as a mature learner, I was very very nervous. Paguin was extremely patient with me and helped me pass the driving test on my second try. (I would've passed my first try but I was overwhelmingly nervous and made a silly mistake). He worked hard to find me a test at a local testing centre (it's now virtually impossible to book tests quickly) and also made it so that my second test was only two weeks after the first one. I highly recommend Paguin. He will get you there!! If you are in the Vauxhall/Stockwell/Victoria region, go with Paguin!!!”

“I was very happy learning to drive with AA and the amazing service that my instructor, Hussain provided for me. He allowed me to learn at my own pace, unlike other driving schools who made me do one manoeuvre for the whole 2 hours which was ridiculous. My lessons with AA didn’t feel like a scam and i truely felt like my instructor wanted me to pass.”

“I would like to give a massive thank you to my driving instructor, Mr. Hedayat Rehmanzai from Hayes, as I passed my driving test in first attempt today. His way of teaching and training is so professional and friendly. I really appreciate his patience in teaching and staying calm throughout my learning. I largely attribute the excellent pass to Mr. Hedayat's experience in understanding what I needed to know to past the test. In addition to this, his hour-long warmup beforehand helped to settle my nerves and get me focused ready to be examined.”
