“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.”

“I had the best chance to be instructed by Mr. Martins Ogbeide at the AA. He was very precise, well organised, helpful and fully supportive. The driving lessons with Martins were very informative, interesting and part of fun as well. He covered everything related to the DVSA guidelines and he kept a special eye on my driving attitude to confirm being both safe and legal on the road. Today, I passed my practical driving test with full confidence for the first time. I'm eternally grateful to you Martins for making this happened easily. I would definitely recommend taking driving lessons with this gentleman. Thank you.”

“Had 2 instructors that would cancel with impunity, any time window before a lesson they liked. Both would make full use of the 48 hour student cancellation window that the AA provides however, your time is worthless and theirs is worth 100% of the overpriced £35/h they charge. Their customer service is absolutely shocking, prices are extortionate and availability is non-existent. Maybe it's just that the profession of 'driving instructor' only attracts braindead washouts with only one skill? F!ck the AA”

“My driving instructor was Ayesha J Khan (Glasgow Southside) who was amazing - she was very knowledgable and encouraging and helped build my confidence. I learnt a lot from Ayesha and through her lessons, passed my test last week! I would highly recommend Ayesha - not only is she a great instructor she is a lovely person too. Thank you Ayesha.”

“I was given an instructor called Paul. I only stuck with him for 2 lessons which were both 2 hours long. On the morning of each lesson he was late and by the time he had driven me to a location it was 10am. By the time the lesson finished he cut it short for 15 minutes early which I paid for lessons for 9.30 to start and 11.30 to finish which wasn’t the case at all. During 1 lesson he told me to me a u turn on a dip road which went down hill slightly then up hill. As I came out the road again to turn right bearing in mind I checked all the mirrors and there was no cars coming either way I had got onto the road again then there was a car coming to the left which slowed down to let me go. Paul got snappy and told me to pull up on the left which I did. He then had a go about me not checking the mirrors which I did before hand. I thought it was really unprofessional of him the way he had a go I wanted to end the lesson there and then. I’m a natural worried learner which I’m sure most Learners can relate too. I have not been back since I have now found a decent instructor who is calming and more compassionate.”

“I have taken 8 lessons from AA driving school. The instructor Monowara Chowdhury is worst instructor. She just doing time pass and tries to make you not fit for driving so that you will come to her for many more lessons, that way she can earn more money from you. She asked me to not book through AA and offered her personal bank account details to transfer money directly to book lessons. She and AA both are waste. Don’t waste money and time with AA. For sure you will loose your driving confidence if you land here with AA.”

“My instructor Mr. Karim (Leicester) cancelled on me less than 24 hours before the test without prior notice, causing me to lose my test date and fee. He raised his voice at me and asked me to go to the police station if I wasn't happy with his opinion. Didn't do his penultimate lesson and didn't refund. Complaints team said they couldn't do anything as I had no evidence. Terrible. I would never recommend AA”

“I booked my daughter 10 hours of driving lessons. The first instructor cancelled. Then booked another instructor who didn’t turn up and sent me a message saying “you may have cancelled it please check”. I think I’d know if I’d cancelled a lesson. I’m not impressed at all. The customer service has been good and my refund is being processed. But I don’t recommend”

“My experience in AA Driving School was exceptional. My instructor, Kajanraj Thavayogan really took time to understand my weaknesses and strengths thereby, working with these acquired information to fully prepare me for the actual test. Kajanraj was patient by repeatedly teaching me safe and technical driving skills until they grew on me, all within two weeks. Without a doubt, I got value for my money and I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends and family to AA Driving school. Thanks Raj.”

“I had the privilege of experiencing an exceptional journey with AA Driving School, and I would like to express my profound appreciation, particularly for my driving instructor, Mr. Ayaaz Khan. My sincere gratitude for your outstanding instruction throughout my journey to obtaining my restricted license. Your expertise, patience, and dedication to teaching made all the difference in my learning experience. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner made me feel confident behind the wheel. You created a comfortable and supportive environment that allowed me to ask questions and learn at my own pace. Your attention to detail, emphasis on safety, and focus on good driving habits have left a lasting impression on me. Thanks to your guidance sir, I not only passed my driving test but also feel well-prepared and responsible as a new driver. Your passion for teaching and commitment to your students' success truly set you apart as an exceptional driving instructor. Once again, thank you, Mr. Ayaaz Khan, for being an awesome instructor and helping me achieve this milestone in my life. I would highly recommend your services to anyone seeking quality driving instruction.”

“AA and the instructor Jesudasan Raj was really helpful in helping me pass in the first instance. Raj is extremely talented and patient while teaching and will help you correct all mistakes systematically. Without him it would have been difficult for me to pass”

“I’ve had a horrible experience. I texted them a day before the class that I tested positive for COVID and I would rather reschedule to not put the instructor at risk. They told me it’s too late and I will be charged anyway. Absolutely ridiculous. The instructor was rude about it too. Avoid at all cost. I would never trust them again.”
