“Faisal Anwar is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had. He’s very supportive, friendly and goes at your own pace. Faisal has built my confidence in driving on the motorway. Highly recommended for anyone learning to drive or gaining more confidence on the road!”

“Faisal Anwar is a great driving instructor, I passed my driving test the first time round in Mill Hill. He was very supportive and helped me to gain confidence in my ability to drive, and clearly puts everything into teaching his students how to be safe and confident drivers. I highly recommend Faisal to other individuals looking into learning how to drive.”

“One of my friend he has a license now told me about Mr Raj and thankfully I have got the opportunity to learn from him, he is polite, humble, friendly and supportive person and well experienced in what he is teaching and because of him I got the license. Thank you so much Mr. Raj.”

“Good driving school once I found a good Instrctor as my first one cancelled on me after one lesson as apparently he couldn’t do my test date. Mr Rajkumar was great with me for the lessons I had with him, filled me with confidence and I learned a few things from him in the short space of time I had with him and I would definitely recommend him to any one who is learning how to drive. Passed my test on the 4/7/2022.”

“Three times in the run now the driving instructor has cancelled my lessons with very little notice. Tried to contact the AA but they won’t do telephone calls and the online service won’t get me anywhere. Very frustrating- wasting time and money.”

“I passed my driving test first time ever, thanks to my driving instructor Mr Raj from the AA driving school. His teaching expertise, interpersonal and communication skills reassured me that his a safe driver at all times, and that made me feel safe and happy during my lessons. I was able to adapt his expertise to mine and because of that I achieve this goal of mine, I know now when I drive my passenger and I, are safe for life as well as any other road users around me.”

“Rajkumar Jesuthasan was my driving instructor for a total of 2-3 months, and I practiced with him twice a week (in 2 hour intervals) in the Croydon/Mitcham area in an automatic. I’d never driven before and initially I was very anxious, but Raj made me feel at ease whilst I was driving and always assured me that I was safe. I do recommend him as a driving instructor as he encourages you to try and try again until you feel comfortable with doing something e.g. driving around a roundabout or doing a manoeuvre. He goes through an AA guide to aid you whilst you are learning to drive; gives you targets to reach every week AND even gives you homework (watching YouTube videos). The only negative feedback I can give is that Raj was late to arrive at my house quite often, but I understand that was due to traffic - something out of his control. Therefore, it is good to have a flexible timetable when you are buying lessons with him. Otherwise great teacher.”

“After not so great experience with another driving school I booked my lesson with AA in Reading and the process is very easy and quick and had instructor Hamid Nouri. He texted the day before to acknowledge and confirm we have a first lesson next day as well as he introduced himself. He turned up on time for the lesson and each lesson is full of valuable information and skills I need to learn. He dedicates his time fully to teaching driving , always offers advice and makes sure his teaching style suits my needs. You can easily tell Hamid is very passionate and his goal is to make sure that as his learner driver i succeed at my driving test. I learn a lot each time so the money is well spent. Thank you”

“Been learning with Abdulagafoor ifthikar..... and today he has cancelled all my lessons 8days before my test in Bletchley. I have tried phoning him to find out the reason why he has done this, but he doesn't answer ,I then message via WhatsApp & normal tex aswell but he doesn't reply. I joined AA in good faith believing that this is reputable company for learning. And I am totally shocked from the treatment I have received. I am totally disappointed and disgusted 😔 I believe this should be dealt with by the AA to find me a replacement instructor in time for my test. I have not even been given an explanation/phonecall from the AA driving school, explaining my shocking treatment How is this even fair ????”

“My instructor was Eddie Walsh in Warwickshire. He was very friendly but also good at pointing out every mistake so I didn't pick up any bad habits and passed on my first test. I would definitely recommend Eddie Walsh as a driving instructor.”

“Excellent driving school and I was blessed to have one of the best driving instructors in the person of Jesuthasan Rajkumar. He made learning easy,was ready to pinpoint your area of weakness and help you improve and build confidence, that's one thing that makes him unique. I passed my test with zero minors, excellent compliment from the examiner, all thanks to Jesuthasan Rajkumar.”

“I have passed test today. Raj (Jesuthasan Rajkumar) helped me to gain road confidence with his teaching skills. Raj is my second instructor. He always made me comfortable first, before explaining my mistakes if I panicked . Raj is very experienced and excellent instructor. I would not hesitate recommending him.”

“Honestly in shock! Just passed my driving practical, it was my FIRST try if I might add,with who I think is honestly the BEST instructor out there! (Faisal Anwar), really took the time to explain things to me and taught me to my understanding even if I asked him to repeat things 10times he would take that time out till I was 100% sure.”

“Driver showed up half hour late, was parked around corner of my house which is 5 min walked and didn’t bother calling. I told him I was upset and he kicked me out of the car and told me the lesson is over. I tried to get in touch hairy AA for a refund but they are useless, no accountability over their employees”
