Biography:
Anna Allahverdi driving instructor

Hi, I’m Anna

I have been driving from a very young age. I enjoy driving and believe that this is a life skill everyone can benefit from, and one that lasts a lifetime.

Being a Driving Instructor gives me the privilege of passing down this skill to others. I have always valued helping others realise their own potential. As a good listener, I adapt to make sure my teaching style suits each unique student and their needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, personal development, and walking in nature. As a mum of four girls, I have all the patience you can imagine and ever need!

"I had Anna as my instructor. She was extremely patient, kind and funny! I could drive but needed a confidence boost to pass my test. Anna is great at explaining things, always on time and brilliant at helping less confident drivers."

Chong, Croydon, Surrey

AA Chong 230520"I passed at my first driving test attempt in Mitcham, thanks to Anna. I had few unhappy experiences with my previous driver instructors, so I decided to move to Elite driving school, they assigned Anna who helped me develop my confidence in driving particularly on busy roads and roundabouts. Anna is the perfect instructor if you don't have previous driving experience, she is very patient and very good at explaining using her small tablet. She uses this to explain what mistakes you've made and how to correct them. I am very proud to say that I can do parallel and reverse bay parking maneuvers with confidence thanks to Anna. I am very pleased to have her as my driving instructor. During the day of my driving test, Anna help me calm down my nerves by giving me a short driving lesson review and during my test, the test routes given to me by Mitcham Centre was the same routes Anna provided me on that day, It was like just a review of what me and Anna did before coming to the test Centre… I highly recommend Anna as your driving instructor."

AA Erin 230218"I want to say a huge thanks to Anna who is an amazing instructor, and a thank you to the elite driving school. I passed my theory first time and my practical first time. I couldn’t have done it without you. From the first day I met Anna she made me feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. Every lesson she would give me useful and effective feedback, as well as using a iPad to demonstrate situations which you will come across when driving and what to do when it happens, this really helped me improve. Anna helps you in many ways whether you find it easier to learn by seeing or hearing she provides many methods based on how you learn easiest. Anna is a wonderful women with a great heart, very patient and has a strong desire to help her students. Anna was always on time to lessons and gave me confidence in my driving.
Every week I was so excited and looked forward to my next lesson with Anna, I can’t thank her enough for how she has helped me.
I will definitely be recommending Elite Driving School and Anna, to my family and friends. It was a great experience in my life."

"I would like to thank Anna for helping me pass my driving test this week! I started taking lessons with Anna after moving with another instructor and wanting to change from a manual to an automatic and from the first day Anna was patient and helpful with me as I started my new lessons with her. Anna is calm and friendly and really makes learning to drive fun. I used to look forward all week to our lessons! I had lost a bit of confidence learning with my previous instructor but from the first day with Anna, my enjoyment and passion returned and I felt like I made instant progress under her clear and very effective instruction. Anna has a great personality and is really interesting to talk to and that also helped make the whole experience really enjoyable. I highly recommend Anna for your future driving lessons, she makes learning to drive an incredibly fun and pleasurable experience that it should be! Thanks very much for your help Anna and stay in touch!"
