Today was my first day of driving an Automatic car with Raja and I have already Driven back home.I would highly recommend Acorn School of Motoring, Raja is an incredibly calm and friendly instructor who gives you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you want and he is fantastic at explaining things.

Ayesha Raja, the driving instructor, was most helpful in getting my confidence back after having lost it after not having driven for some time. He took his time and showed me how to drive on uphill, brake control and safety precautions. I have gained my confidence back and would happily recommend him to instruct other learners

Anthony Josha My teacher Raja was very patient with my driving from start to finish, and always made me feel relaxed. He was very attentive and before each lesson we discussed what areas needed improving and personalised every class accordingly. He is very positive and a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend Raja as a driving instructor.
