“Had an instructor named Mathew, completely useless, does not structure lessons very well, poor quality lessons delivered and does not care about your progression, always turning up late and cancels lesson at last minute without a reason. I would suggest you avoid wasting your time with this instructor as you will never be test ready with his careless approach. To put it lightly, he is a scam.”

“Best driving school around! They introduced me to Raj who helped me in the areas I wasn’t confident in and gave me all the pointers I needed to pass! Passed with only 3 minors couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much xx”

“We used an instructor called William Pardey he actually crushed my daughter with his comments he made to her she had a previous instructor who was really good with her and said she was test ready but unfortunately she had a family bereavement and had to give up so we chose to go with the AA what a mistake we had a test booked and ready to go we found this so called instructor who was useless first lesson had to finish early as run out of oil second lesson was not much better with him then week before her test he just crushed her confidence and said he would not take her to the test and she could also not use his car. Now it is not all about cancellation of the test it was his whole smarmy attitude and was more concerned about his reputation so this why I have posted this review I do believe they are there to teach them to drive and build there confidence not crush them.”

“JESSUTHASAN RAJKUMAR ( RAJ) AA driving school is the best school to start. He is patient and helps you understand everything you do whilst driving with the best explanations as well. He’s the best instructor I’ve met and I highly recommend using him.”

“My partner had a driving instructor in Colindale called Korab, he did not fulfil the full 2 hours. She had 30 minutes left and he said he we was finished. He stated if he knew she did not have the theory test he would not have accepted the lesson. He could have cleared that up when he was texting her before the lesson. Driving experience was good with some diagram learning and driving experience on the road, but overall I feel this is very disappointing experience for my partner. He turned up late and she only got 75% lesson making in effect his rate more expensive than the most expensive AA option. My partner asked via message later if he is able to add 30 minutes to a future lesson and he has since blanked her. Some positives but a lot of negatives, especially since she will now have to start with someone else in effect wasting £66. Not great to give confidence to a person on her first lesson.”

“I didn’t have a good experience with aa instructor as he’d swear in the car at me and other road users. He made me feel uncomfortable and tensed while driving.”

“My instructor, Jose Caires, is a great teacher who is supportive, patient and good at teaching. His explanations were clear and easy to follow, and he was attentive. I passed my test at Tolworth thanks to all his help and guidance, but I am most grateful for his patience and professionalism as an instructor which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident driving.”

“Jose Caires was an excellent driving instructor and helped me to pass my driving test with only three minors. He taught me precision and confidence and was so supportive throughout the whole process from start to finish, and always gave me constructive feedback on how to improve my skills. I enjoyed our lessons so much that I intend to take the pass plus course with Jose. Thank you!!!”

“I am very pleased with AA driving school for the ease of booking lessons and payments online. My instructor “Raj” (JESSUDASSAN RAJKUMAR) has been absolutely brilliant throughout and thanks to him, I passed in my first attempt! He was very patient and helped me to build my confidence as a first time driver. He gave me constructive feedback and how I could improve at the end of each lesson and this was immensely helpful in focussing the areas I needed more practice. I was dreading about the real test but with regular lessons and doing test routes, I was confident in my actual test and knew what exactly to look out for.”

“My instructor was Kajanraj Thavayogan. He was a great instructor and supported me to become confident in my driving. I only had 12 hours of lessons with him and passed my test with 2 minors. With the skills and confidence I developed with his support I had a great experience. Thank you Kajanraj!”

I did 20 hours with the other driving school but I wasn’t feeling confident.Ahmad only taught me 9 hours included the test day’s time.He used an easier and helpful way to improve my driving skills.That was amazing experience with him. I passed my test for one time.”

“I made the decision to choose AA driving school introduce instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar. Raj was an excellent instructor with all the help and support he had taught me throughout all the smooth lessons. I was able to drive confidently and I was able to pass my test first try with only one minor fault. I'm really happy, thank you so much for your support Raj.”

“My instructor was Raj. He was such an amazing instructor. All his help and support helped me become a confident driver and I was able to pass my driving test on the first try. Even though his car had broken down, he quickly linked me to Syed who kindly allowed me to use his car for the driving test. Raj really made the process smooth. I am truly grateful for all his help.”

“My instructor was Raj who was excellent. Patient, descriptive and made me feel at ease. He gave me good references but also made me feel confident enough to fix things as well. Also thank you to Syed who let me use his car for the driving test at such short notice.”

“My driving instructor, Ahmad, was great. His ability to teach was impeccable and taught me in the space of 16 hours. The entire process though the aa driving school was seamless and there were no issues.”

“In 7 weeks I've had 1 lesson because my instructor is constantly cancelling my lessons just minutes before there supposed to happen this is costing me a fortune in childcare and I think I'm done with trying to rearrange with him as I feel I've wasted my £79 for my first lesson as it was that long ago I've probably forgot everything by now”
