No good me and my husband both had a bad experience and my instructor lost my confidence shouted at me. My husband had instructor he didn’t show up he owe us £100 didn’t get the money back

I passed with Morte Safari as my driving instructor. I cant thank him enough for his patience and his belief in me as a student. He knows how to teach and I had an incredible learning experience. He gave me the confidence in my driving and knew when I would be ready to take my test months in advance and he was not wrong. I would highly recommen him as an instructor.

I just passed my driving test on my first attempt with only 4 minor faults. I want to say a big thank you to Morte Safari, out of the 3 instructors I’ve had he’s the best one you can tell he cares about his students and genuinely wants them to pass every time. He’s very patient and makes sure you are 100% prepared for your test. For a highly experienced instructor his rates are very reasonable at £40/h and you are definitely getting your moneys worth. Would recommend him every time and AA driving school!

Prince was my driving instructor. Prince is the best driving instructor I have ever met, he has thought me how to regain control and focus when driving. I passed my driving test today and I started to speak to myself the way he instructs me in our lessons, that has helped me reduce my anxiety and stress to focus on finishing the route safely and confidently.

I am so grateful for the patience and adaptability he has given me throughout. I truly hope others can benefit from his many qualities and wise leadership to not only become confident drivers but also respectful individuals in society. I sometimes struggle with my ADHD and being neurodivergent but Prince is the best instructor for brains like mine.

Prince you have offered me the confidence to earn my license as well the confidence I needed to face life. You are the blessing I needed this week.

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

I passed my driving test today on my first attempt with only 3 minor faults, and I couldn't have done it without Arefah Shakib! She is an incredible instructor—extremely patient, professional, and amazing at building confidence behind the wheel. She made me feel completely prepared and calm. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to pass!

very bad experience , i get the formal email cancel the driving lesson that day, but still charges for 2 hours lesson because they said they text message to me can ongoing the lesson , the is ridiculous , never use again

Steven Armstrong AA driving instructor Manchester, shouted at me scared me, constantly got in my face and forcefully taking the wheel sometimes slapping my hand in the process. i felt belittled and scared to drive and he made these feeling worse. he would ask questions and disrespectfully say 'eh' because he knows you don't know them and wants you to feel bad about your lack of knowledge as if we are supposed to already know how to drive. Do not book with this man. my experience was years ago and i can only write this now. ive been left with years of driving trauma from this man. thankfully i learned with my father and eventually passed. i hope no one has to be put through the same thing Steven Armstrong put me through.

My instructor was Danial Konofalski. After my first two lessons, he repeatedly cancelled lessons. On several occasions, he messaged me on the actual day of the lesson to say that he would not be coming. He would then reschedule the lesson himself, only for the rearranged lesson to be cancelled again.

The reason I was repeatedly given was that another lesson had been cancelled, so he would not be able to come to mine.

I discussed my driving test date with him before booking it, and he agreed that the date would be suitable. However, just two days after I booked the test, he messaged me asking me to pay for additional hours. When I said I didn't want to pay for more hours and wanted to complete the lessons I had already paid for, he then told me that he would no longer be teaching me because he was switching to an automatic car.

At this point, I had my test in around 30 days and had only received around 6 hours of lessons. I was left having to look for another instructor at very short notice.

I also still had one lesson remaining, and there was confusion over the remaining credit/refund. They won't give me refund nor last lesson.

Overall, the repeated cancellations and the change from manual to automatic so close to my test left me in a very difficult position. I would strongly recommend making sure you have a reliable instructor who can commit to your lessons before booking your test.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Instructor

I’m delighted to say I passed my driving test today! My AA instructor, Rafiq Richards was absolutely fantastic , patient, professional, and always explained everything clearly and calmly. He built my confidence from day one and made every lesson constructive. I felt fully prepared and ready. I couldn’t have done it without him, highly recommended to anyone learning to drive.

Passed with Morte as my driving instructor! I’d recommend him as he’s a very good teacher and he believes in his students.

A big thank you to him for all his help and support!

Passed my driving test first time, had two amazing instructors Antonio Silva who taught me the basics and Freddie Asare who taught me so much to be able to pass first try. These two instructors are so nice and professional I would recommend everyone.

I highly recommend Dalal Awwad from AA Driving School! They were so patient, calm, professional and helpful through every lesson. They really helped build up my confidence on the road and I passed my automatic test first time with ease! Absolutely amazing teaching and support!

I am asking anyone think of learning to drive please stay away from AA driving school they are a con and robbers the instructors are very cheeky the company itself is very dishonest they hold on students money and refuse to return it after thier instructor fail to turn up, when he do he always 100% late every time , he always going to the petrol station and even tell the student to put petrol in his car , plenty bad experience. I paid for my wife to learn to drive with them and this her experience i see for myself he is always late

I have recently been doing driven lessons with Michael McGregor In newcastle area. I've had a few instructors within the year and he has been the best. So patient and relaxed and today I passed my test with him. I would 1000% recommend him if looking to do lessons. So down to earth and goes the extra mile to get you were you need to be.

Had a few lessons with Sunjay Sungkur, in South London.

This guy is a crook and had me sit in the car for 1 hour and a half, talking about his life in India playing with snakes as a boy, to then only allow for 30mins of actual driving practice. He did this on multiple occasions, checking the clock, each time intentionally.

This is despite myself already having failed a test already months before with a previous instructor, therefore not being new to driving lessons at all.

I had to make a complaint to AA who did refund me some hours back.

I had a great experience with my AA Instructor John Garvey who offered a high amount of support and knowledge to allow me to confidently navigate the roads. John didn’t just teach on how to pass the test but how to navigate various driving situations. This gave me a high amount of confidence when driving in any situation and condition.

Having lessons with John led me to pass my test in under two months!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Reza - my driving instructor enough! Reza is an amazing instructor and a truly great teacher. He quickly identifies your weaknesses and focuses on them until they become your strengths. His patience, knowledge and attention to detail made such a huge difference to my confidence and driving skills.

Thanks to Reza, I passed my driving test first time! I genuinely believe I couldn’t have done it without his support and guidance. I’m so grateful for all his hard work and patience. Thank you so much for helping me become a confident driver! And I've passed my driving test from the first time, thanks to Reza.

I had a very disappointing experience with this instructor. I took around 7 lessons before my practical test, but throughout that time I was not given a clear lesson plan, progress record, or proper feedback about whether I was reaching test standard.

The biggest issue was that only one day before my test, I was told that I was not safe or ready and that the instructor would not provide the car for my test. During the previous lessons, I had not been clearly warned that my driving had serious problems that could prevent me from taking the test.

I later took the test and unfortunately failed, including serious faults relating to speed and turning right at junctions. This made me even more disappointed because these are exactly the kinds of weaknesses I expected my instructor to identify, explain and work on with me during my lessons, rather than leaving it until the day before my test.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this instructor. I expected much better communication, structured training and progress feedback, especially from an instructor working through AA Driving School.

A big thank you to AA and my instructor Kumail in North London for helping me pass my driving test! Really grateful for his guidance and support. Highly recommend!

My instructor was Wendy Watts. She was great, supportive and patient and she helped me pass my test first time
