“My AA driving instructor was Eduart Sinomati and passed first time, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Eduart is an excellent driving instructor, he has a commitment to your learning and amends his teaching style based on your needs. 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!”

“AA Driving School is best school to start with my driving instructor called RAJ(JESUTHASAN RAJKUMAR). I am really very much satisfied with the way he trained me and guided me. He guided me in such a way that I passed with no minor mistakes. He had mock driving tests and gave actual feedback on that. He was really motivating me from start to end. No unnecessary talk or wasting of time during my sessions. I recommond him highly.”

“Be aware The AA does not take ANY responsibility for their driving instructors. You pay via their website and the car might have an AA sticker on it, but the instructors are independent contractors. If a problem occurs (which it did in my case) you can expect zero support from The AA and will simply be told that is not their problem.”

“I had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Ahmad Zia Kohistani and passed first time. I can't recommend him highly enough! Ahmad is an excellent driving instructor, he has a commitment to your learning and amends his teaching style based on your needs. His attention to detail, patience and clear explanations made every lesson both informative and enjoyable. He has an incredible ability to identify areas where I needed support and observed and listened to me throughout the lesson (no time wasted you will always learn), which was especially helpful for me as a new driver. I have had other instructors in the past, but Ahmad’s thorough understanding of the driving rules and natural ability to teach in a way I could understand sets him apart from other instructors. Ahmad was always punctual, reliable and often went the extra mile to teach me, even if it meant investing his own time to give me extra support. I cannot thank him or recommend him enough. He has given me confidence and self belief, resulting in passing my test. If you are looking for an instructor genuinely invested in your success then look no further. Thank you Ahmad!”

“Avoid instructor Andre Quincani like the plague unless you have money to burn. He will expand his ‘plan’ to include as many lessons as possible. Over a years worth of lessons and still hadn’t covered everything. Wanted to spend 12 hours just on learning roundabouts. AA did nothing about my complaint.”

“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.”

“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.”
