“I passed my driving test first time with the help of my instructor Junaid from the AA driving school. He is an excellent instructor, very calm, understanding and did a fantastic job in teaching me how to drive. I would definitely recommend him and the AA driving school to other people who want to learn how to drive.”

He was always kind even when I was feeling nervous or made mistakes, I really appreciated having him beside me. I’m really greatful to have learned with Andy, I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone who is beginning to learn to drive.”

“Thank you Keith. As some with a disability you have now enabled me to live independently. Unlike other driving instructors, he was incredible patient and was also able to articulate to a neurodivergent. I you have want to have no anxiety going to the shops, visiting friends or more. Then go to Keith, because that’s what he’s done for me. Thanks again, Andrew T-F”

“AA Driving School made me happy! My instructor was Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj). Raj was absolutely fantastic, he gave me the confidence to pass my test. Before him, I had two instructors and they never made me feel at ease, thus I was not so confident. But doing lessons with Raj was a game-changer. He always has a smile on his face and I always enjoy doing the lessons with him. I passed West Wickham today and it was all because he believed and gave me that confidence to drive on the road. Thanks Raj! See you for the motorway lessons.”

“Dilip Palmer is not going to sugarcoat things with you. He will give you the constructive feedback necessary to make you test ready ASAP. I was able to pass first time with just 2 minors. Would highly recommend going with AA, and specifically with Dilip at Mill Hill or Hendon.”

“I began my driving journey with Mark, n Ayr, starting with manual lessons. He provided excellent training, clearly explaining road rules, signs, and the mirror-signal-manoeuvre technique. His calm and professional approach built my confidence and gave me a strong foundation. Later, I switched to automatic lessons, and Mark recommended Jamie—his own instructor—who turned out to be just as fantastic. Jamie was supportive, encouraging, and flexible with scheduling around my work hours. His honest feedback, even when it meant raising his voice, was always with the intent to help me focus and improve—and it worked. He provided ample practice and guidance, preparing me thoroughly for the test. Both Mark and Jamie are experienced, patient, and dedicated instructors who genuinely care about their students’ success. Thanks to their support, I passed my driving test with confidence. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, reliable, and encouraging driving instructors.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend – Passed First Time! I can’t thank Imran Siddique enough for helping me pass my driving test first time! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and calm — exactly the kind of instructor you want when you're feeling nervous or unsure. What stood out to me most was his teaching style: he’s firm when needed (which I really appreciated), but always supportive and encouraging. His high standards pushed me to improve with every lesson, and I always felt I was in safe hands. He was also super flexible with scheduling lessons around my availability, which made a huge difference with my busy diary. If you're looking for someone who’s genuinely invested in your success, I couldn’t recommend Imran more. Thank you again for everything!”

“My instructor Arefah was amazing!! I’ve had bad experiences with two previous private instructors however she was patient with me and helped me so much throughout my training. Without her I definitely couldn’t have passed my test. She was well organised and thorough in each lesson and we worked together to strengthen my weak areas in a short amount of time. She had so much faith in me too and without it I definitely wouldn’t have had the confidence in me to have passed!”
