“I had Anthony Silk as my driving instructor and I am very happy with the way he trained and guided me through my process. It was a long journey, but he motivated me from start to finish ensuring that I stay focused and proactively working on what I was doing wrong, making sure that my mistakes don’t translate into my test. Extremely good at his job, easy to talk to and reliable, strongly recommended for a manual test! Thank you Tony for making a dream of mine finally come true!”

“PASSED for the first time today!! 🥳 I want to thank instructor Mohammed Sayeed Chowdhury. I took lessons from the start of February to May. Despite being very fearful with driving on the road my instructor had faith in me and supported me along the way even when I felt like giving up. All the encouragement and valuable teaching has made me stronger and more confident! He put me at ease and helped me to improve on my mistakes whilst being patient with me. The lesson timings are flexible and best suited my schedule (as a university student) prioritising lessons closer to the test date. I enjoyed my lessons very much as he ensures a relaxed and friendly environment which is important. His teaching is professional and constructive helping me to get over my fears, reassuring me that I can confidently pass. Thank you Sayeed! You are amazing 🤩”

“I passed my driving test today first attempt with Siraj as my instructor. I took many years off driving lessons after failing my test 3 times but Siraj’s teachings have been super helpful and he will always give his best for you. Highly recommend him as an instructor.”

“His teaching style helped me pass my driving test.vhe was hard on me when I made a mistake. That made me a better driver. I got no minor mistakes during my test from start to almost to the end. I only got 3 minor fault when there was only one minute left for the test. The rest remaining time I didn't get any mistake..”

“My experience with my AA driving instructor started off great, but unfortunately it took a turn for the worse. I enjoyed my lessons and felt I was making progress, but as time went on, I began to dread my lessons. My instructor's teaching style just wasn't for me I guess. One major issue was his habit of canceling lessons at the last minute often just an hour before we were scheduled to have a lesson. His excuses for these cancellations were questionable, which disrupted my learning schedule. my instructor's lack of reassurance during lessons didn't help boost my confidence. When I know I'm not the worst driver, his failure to provide constructive feedback or encouragement left me unsure of my abilities and less motivated to improve.”

“Don’t book the lesson with Mr Taimoor in reading. He refused to take me to driving test in the week of exam date just two classes before and placed unfair demands on me like book two classes and I have to find another driving instructor at very short notice which resulted in unnecessary panic, pressure, and ultimately led to failure in my first attempt. I have encountered the following issues during my driving lessons with Mr. Masood: 1. Rudeness and Aggression: Mr. Masood consistently displayed rude and aggressive behavior towards me during the lessons. He would frequently raise his voice, use derogatory language, and make demeaning remarks, creating a hostile learning environment. 2. Two-Hour Classes: Mr. Masood insisted on conducting two-hour classes every time, despite my preferences and availability. This inflexible approach made it challenging for me to manage my schedule and resulted in mental and physical fatigue during the lessons. 3. Unjustified Extension of Classes: Mr. Masood made excuses to extend the number of classes required for me to complete my training. He would deliberately withhold information or provide vague explanations, leading to unnecessary delays and additional expenses. 4. Intentional Demoralization: During mock tests, Mr. Masood intentionally demoralized me by highlighting minor errors and exaggerating them into major mistakes. This approach was aimed at undermining my confidence and discouraging me from taking the driving test. 5. Magnifying Minor Errors: Instead of providing constructive feedback, Mr. Masood had a habit of magnifying minor errors and turning them into major faults. This not only distorted my perception of my progress but also created unnecessary anxiety and self-doubt. 6. Tense and Fear-Inducing Environment: Mr. Masood consistently created a tense and fear-inducing environment during the lessons and mock tests. His constant scolding, shouting, and aggressive behavior left me constantly anxious and fearful, negatively impacting my ability to focus and learn effectively. 7. Scolding for Preemptive Errors: Mr. Masood would scold me even before I made any errors during the classes. His unwarranted criticism and harsh remarks created an atmosphere of tension and fear, making it difficult for me to concentrate and learn effectively. 8. Withholding Mock Tests: Mr. Masood refused to take me for mock tests unless I booked additional classes. He would inform me just before a mock test that I needed to book two more classes, creating an unfair and manipulative situation where I was forced to spend more money before being allowed to assess my readiness for the exam.”

“I am really happy to have found Blerim I managed to Pass my Practical test in single attempt in just 4 weeks of training with him and got only 4 minors in my test. Would recommend my family and friends to him with no hesitation.”

“AA driving school is well worth the money! The lessons are available and are as flexible as you are. I passed with my driving instructor Ali in Kingstanding, Birmingham today because he was very patient, informative and a good teacher. He really tries to hone your skills so that you're a good driver on the roads. Thanks Ali 😊”

“My instructor, Ahmad Zia Kohistani is an amazing driving instructor. He is very patient, thorough and kind. I started my lessons with him 3 months before my driving test and he completely transformed my driving ability. I now feel very confident in my driving and on the rules of the road. He was always on time for my lessons and taught me valuable driving skills that I will forever cherish. The price of lessons is very reasonable as the standard of lessons delivered is beyond satisfactory and thus, a very good investment. I would definitely recommend Ahmad Zia Kohistani as he is the reason I passed my driving test.”
