“I had the pleasure of learning to drive in London with Faisal Anwar via the AA Driving School, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Moving from the US, I was quite nervous about adapting to the different driving rules and navigating the busy London roads, but Faisal’s patience and expertise made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensured I felt comfortable behind the wheel, and was always calm and encouraging, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my driving test and achieve a major milestone. I highly recommend Faisal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and patient driving instructor!”

“Instructor Ka-Lun Cheung (★★★★★) I had the absolute pleasure of being taught by Ka-Lun Cheung via the AA driving school; and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From day one, Mr. Cheung was not just an instructor but a mentor, guiding me with professionalism, patience, and a deep wealth of knowledge. His teaching style made learning to drive an enjoyable and confidence-building experience. Mr. Cheung is incredibly skilled at breaking down complex driving techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps. He was always calm and reassuring, even when I doubted myself. His constant encouragement and expert advice gave me the confidence I needed to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Every lesson was packed with valuable insights, not just about how to pass the test, but how to be a safe and responsible driver for life. What I appreciated most was Mr. Cheung’s unwavering professionalism. He was always punctual, well-prepared, and genuinely cared about my progress. His attention to detail and dedication made me feel supported every step of the way. He knew exactly how to address my weaknesses and helped turn them into strengths. Thanks to Mr. Cheung, I happily passed my driving test on the first time with only one minor, and I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without his expert guidance. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive driving instructor, Mr. Cheung is the mentor to go to :)”

“Driving instructor drip-fed me training to maximise the number of very expensive lessons I was booking. His ‘plan’ would have involved 80 hours if I hadn’t challenge it, including 5 two hour lessons just on roundabouts. Exploitative to the point of fraud. AA did nothing about it when I complained.”

“I hadn’t driven for a while so needed a few refresher lessons. Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj) was a great instructor. Informative as well as patient. Definitely tailors to your needs. Thank you!”

“I was very blessed to find my instructor Zahid, my lessons have always been really engaging and he always makes you aware of when you’ve made good progress and is constructive when you’ve done something wrong. It’s made my development really smooth. I’ve never had issues with timing or scheduling dates and he’s always willing to commit to changes on my end. I am glad I had him as my instructor and would definitely recommend if asked.”

“My AA driving instructor was Kajanraj Thavayogan (Raj). Raj is a phenomenal teacher and instructor. He gives really clear guidance, is super patient and kind and helps you to understand how to improve and work on any errors. I really highly recommend him to anyone starting their driving journey. You won't be disappointed! :-)”

“Using a Cardiff AA instructor who's on her mobile phone throughout the lesson, not noticing when pupil's checking mirror then telling pupil mirror should have been checked! asking pupil to stop outside shop so that she can pop in, seems to be dragging out the lessons. Other pupils appear to have had the same experience also.”

“I had a brilliant learning experience with Jesuthasan Rajkumar (Raj). After taking lessons from him, I passed my test in one go without any majors / minors. He has a great knowledge of the area he drives in and provides very useful tips & tricks to pass the test in one go. He's also very flexible with his schedule & patient when it comes to teaching things. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive! Top experience.”

“From Tyrone Kajanraj Thavayogan , he has to be the best instructor I’ve had I’ve been through 6 instructors and raj is the only one who helped me pass within a short period of time. He is the most genuine instructor I’ve met and he is the go to man. He is professional and actually knows what he is doing. 10/10 instructor. Thank you RAJ.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience with Freddie as my driving instructor! He’s incredibly professional and knows how to make every lesson both informative and fun. His sense of humor put me at ease, and his clear instructions made driving feel like second nature. Thanks to him, I gained confidence quickly and felt well-prepared for my test. Highly recommend!”
