“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!”

“Today I passed first time with Blerim Trnava NW London (Hendon driving centre). He is very professional, confident person, explains everything in details. It was a pleasure to deal with him, helped to book a test and gave me priority in lessons. And alway has a bottle of water for you in the car 🌹”

“Kajanrash is a great instructor. He knows the area very well and can take you on the roads you really should know. He taught me to think 100 meters ahead always, to stay away from parked vehicles, and how to do proper observations. I could not pass on the first try but had only 3 minor faults on my second turn. I traveled 1 hour each way from south London to Wood Green because Kajanrash’s expertise was worth it. Highly recommend!”

“I recently passed my driving exam, and I owe so much of that success to my incredible instructor Sayeed. From the very first lesson, he was patient, thorough, and truly committed to ensuring I felt confident and prepared for every aspect of the test. His teaching style is not only professional but also motivating, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable. Beyond being an outstanding instructor, he is an amazing individual who genuinely cares about his students. His positivity, and expertise made every lesson a pleasure. I'm incredibly fortunate to have met him, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor. Thank you for all your guidance and support!”
