“Ida Anne dekock was my instructor. I am so grateful to her, not only because I passed my test but more vitally, for teaching me to be eco friendly and safe driver. She is the instructor who does not bother of ticking clock during lessons but will focus on what we learned at the end of the day..”

“I had a very bad experience with an instructor who taught near Harlow-Epping region. This man was out of control, any time I do a mistake he used to yell at me in the car and threatened that he would cancel all my bookings with AA and blacklist my name as a dangerous driver, such that no driving school would teach me. I, on many occasions had wept during the classes and used to dread every time I had a class with him. As I was naive, didn’t know he had no authority to do any of things he said he could do. But this reduced my confidence of driving, failed my exam and never attempted to take any lessons for another two years. But I found a very good and experienced instructor with a different school after two years. The difference in teaching was day and night. I passed my exam with confidence.”

“I have my test in two weeks and it has been three weeks that the car I practiced with has been broken down and they gave a different car which is so different and I don’t have time to get used to it. I talked to company and they said they can’t do anything about it. So now instead of focusing on the test I have to be worried about the car. This is not acceptable and I’m not getting any support from the AA company.”

“reached out instructor Raj 3 days before my driving test, he found a time for me and we did intensive course around the test center area. i gained a lot of experience in a short period of time, without Raj i would probably had to waste way much more time to get the same result.”

“AA Driving School has been amazing. Although the lessons can be expensive, it is definitely worth it. My driving instructor Raj had the best teaching technique, encouraging me and making me feel more confident in my driving. Thanks to him, I passed my test first time round.”

“Money driven, thats all Mr AA instructor cared about. Don't say "you're not ready for the test" without putting in the effort to make me ready for the test. I took additional lessons with a local, independent instructor and passed, because they put the effort in. The best part was mr AA turned up to a lesson after my test (which i cancelled but he still turned up), i told him i had passed, his bitter face and reponse of amumbled "okay" before driving off was the icing and cherry on the cake.”

“Mitchel Ford in Tamworth is the worst. We finished 15 min early all the time, no patience of compassion. Stopping the car all the time so he can say same things all over again On my first lesson with my new driving instructor I practised more than I did with him in 10 hours.”

“The AA driving school was the best driving school with my instructor Raj. He is a very patient and calm person. He gives clear instructions and teaches You well. I learnt something new with every lesson. He also took the preparation for the test seriously and made sure I was 100% ready and I passed first time. Raj is a very good instructor and I would recommend him highly.”

“I had refresher lessons with Faisal after not driving for years ahead of my baby being born. He was a big help in restoring my driving confidence in a short period of time. Each lesson was tailored to my needs and gave me actionable tips that I will use going forward when I drive solo.”

“I had the pleasure of being instructed by Jesuthasan Rajkumar from the AA Driving School, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. Raj, as he prefers to be called, is an exceptional driving instructor who truly goes above and beyond for his students. From the very beginning, Raj impressed me with his clear and concise explanations of various driving concepts. He has a unique ability to break down complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand terms, making the learning process much smoother. His patience knows no bounds, and he ensures that you fully comprehend every aspect of driving before moving on to the next topic. I had the opportunity to take top-up lessons as an experienced driver who had already passed my test, and Raj's guidance was invaluable. His expertise and attention to detail were evident, and under his tutelage, I felt more confident and capable behind the wheel. What sets Raj apart is not just his knowledge and teaching skills, but also his genuine dedication to his students' success. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to enhance my driving skills and pass my test with ease. His positive attitude and unwavering support made the entire learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Furthermore, I recommended Raj to my wife for her driving lessons, and he proved to be just as effective in teaching her. His ability to adapt his teaching style to cater to different learners is truly commendable. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Raj (Jesuthasan Rajkumar) from the AA Driving School to anyone seeking a top-notch driving instructor. His professionalism, patience, and expertise make him an outstanding choice, whether you're a new learner or an experienced driver looking to refine your skills. Choosing Raj as your driving instructor is a decision you won't regret. Thank you, Raj, for your exceptional guidance and for helping me and my wife become confident and skilled drivers.”
