I had a wonderful time with North Star School of driving. The instructor was firm, but fair with me, taking time to help correct my mistakes. He was able to fit lessons around my busy schedule, which I was very grateful for. He has a brilliant knowledge of all the test routes and makes you feel well prepared for the test. Overall was a very positive experience!

I have loved my driving experience with North Star!!! He is a very caring instructor, who only wants the best for his students, which means that sometimes he had to be strict in order to deliver great results, but don't worry it's definitely worth it!!! I came across North Star School of Driving via a relative who recommend it to me. I have had no prior experience/knowledge of driving other than passing my theory test, so I had to learn everything from scratch. I have passed my practical test second time around, I am very happy and recommend it to everyone wanting to learn how to drive!!!

My Driving instructor was very helpful, He gave me all the instructions clearly and constantly supported me during my man-oeuvres. I was given an opportunity to drive in different types of routes, which helped me gain confidence, though my instructor was strict at times it completely paid off and I passed my Test first time. I thank my instructor for being patient helping me throughout. I would definitely recommend Northstar to anyone who wants to learn Driving Thank you.

I am so glad I've taken lessons with NorthStar! I passed my driving test with two minors only thanks to the good piece of advice that my instructor provided me with during all the lessons. I am now so confident behind the wheel. And I know that, not only did I pass the test, but also I am a safe driver because of the time spent, the hard work and the teaching from NorthStar School of Driving. Although he was severe sometimes, it actually paid off. Thank you very much :)

Before I started driving lessons I was slightly nervous because I had never been behind the wheel of a car before and my knowledge of driving was very limited. However I need not have worried. NorthStar Instructor was very calm throughout every lesson and made learning to drive both interesting and enjoyable. Even when mistakes were made, he added reassurance and told me to focus on the positives and how much progress I had made, rather than dwell on the bad, while at the same time talking through the errors and making sure they didn't happen next time. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thanks for everything Northstar!

I highly recommend learning to drive with north star. The instructor is great. I really enjoyed learning with him.he was always on time never cancelled any of my lessons and managed to book me in when it was suitable for myself so happy to have passed with north star.

M. F.

Very good teaching, the car was also very good. Booked a 20 hour intensive course, cheapest rates i could find. Did a few more lessons to help improve my driving. My instructor was always on time and very patient with me. His knowledge of the test routes was also very useful. Its not just about passing the test, i am now very confident behind the wheel. Passed my test today 31/05/13. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Shazad @ NorthStar School of Driving

Just passed my practical test today in my first attempt, thanks to NorthStar School of Driving. My instructor is very friendly and professional. I learned so much from him throughout the lessons. I personally like his teaching approach by adding the difficulty progressively. That makes me feel confident to drive and also familiar with the local areas although I am not from this country. The learner car is also safe and clean, highly recommend NorthStar to everyone! Wilson

I had a very positive experience at Northstar and just passed my test with no minors! When beginning lessons, I was not confident at all but with very clear instruction and attention to detail I gained confidence by my test date. Very flexible with lesson timings around my irregular schedule and patient with the skills I was having difficulty with. I would absolutely recommend!

V. K.

I am very glad I took lessons with North Star having just passed my driving test. He was always firm but fair with me and challenged me. He cares a lot and not only wants to make you pass, but makes sure you are an excellent competent driver. He really cares and wants you to do the best you can. He was always patient with me, and I am thankful for this. Thanks for all your help

M. S.

S. C.

Very positive experience with North Star! Passed my driving test first time. Has great knowledge of the test routes and what to expect when taking your test. Never cancelled and always on time for my lessons. Thanks again!

My driving instructor was great and I don't think I would've passed without his help. He explained all points clearly that I needed to work on and told me how to do all my manoeuvres so that I picked them up with ease. I was taken round the area I would be taking my test at and that really helped get me used to road layouts, routes that could be taken on my test which really helped. I was talked through what to expect for my test which helped to put me at ease and nerve free. I can't thank my driving instructor enough for his help and would recommend Northstar to anyone thinking about learning to drive. Thank you so much.

J. R.

Excellent driving instructor, taught everything extremely well and had excellent diagrams to help picture the situation before attempting it. Very good at teaching manoeuvres as well, felt comfortable doing any one on the day of the test. Would not have pasted 1st time if it was not for him, would recommend him 100%. Thanks!

Z. G.

Fantastic instructor who took time and effects help me to correct my mistakes and how to driving. I had wonderful driving experience with the driving instructor. Definitely recommended to those who are looking to drive in Newcastle area.

After over a year since last attempting to learn to drive, I was very nervous about learning again as I was just hopeless. But taking my lessons with NorthStar was the best choice I could have made. After just over a couple of months I felt ready to book my test and passed, all thanks to the great teaching and guidance by NorthStar! I couldn't recommend NorthStar more to other potential learners and have already recommended NorthStar to family and friends who've taken up my advice and agree that NorthStar's definitely the way to go.

S. A.

Great experience with the instructor who helped me pass with ease. Trains you effectively to become more confident with yourself and overall a better driver. With NorhStar Driving, you will be on the roads in no time!

S. B.

I have been with Shahzad for more than 10 hours lessons. He was very kind and helpful driving instructor. His concern was on how to make me drive safely, and pass the practical test. Driving with him was fun, soft and smooth. I recommend him to be your instructor.

Fantastic instructor, Passed first time, he helped me with all the necessary routes that could come up in the test, instructor was absolutely amazing, I would recommend NorthStar to anyone that wants to learn to drive.

S. Ş.

Although being an experienced driver in my home country, I learnt a lot from North Star School of Driving during my time with them. As much as being a friendly teacher, my teacher was also so talented and good at his job. highly recommend North Star School of Driving to anyone from complete beginner to an experienced driver who needs a license in UK. Thanks very much for your help!

Very good instructor. Teaches all the minor details that will help you to pass and also strict when needed to be. Passed first time! I strongly suggest Northstar driving school.

I'm very glad I learnt to drive with North Star. I had great teaching throughout and felt very confident going into my test. I ended up passing first time with no faults! I can't say thank you enough for the teaching - it was really brilliant.

I am highly satisfied with the learning expereince at NortStar Driving School. The school is not only assess the individual learners on thier competencies but also the way they could improve themselves in order to make them ready for the test without spending unnecessary costs for driving lessons. The instructors are very friendly and focused on the development of the pupil. The aim of the instructors is not only just to prepare thier pupils for driving test but also teach you defensive and safe driving techniques. I am acknowledging the hard work and dedication of the instructors and would recommend anyone to contact them and at least try one lesson to see how it goes. The expeirence of the instructors are very rich and constructive to teach you the practical way of driving which is enrmously different from theoretical knowledge. I wish all the best to this school and especially to Mr Qureshi who helped me not only to pass my test but to leading me the way towards becoming a defensive and safe driver.

S. B.

NorthStar driving school are a motivation to drive! I passed my first test with just four minors, i can honestly say that the teaching of northstar is great it is a friendly, calm and motivated environment,they listen to your needs and help with your weak points to make you a good driver. I will definitely recommend northstar. thank you so much. From Lukman

I had over 40 hours with Shazad and thought he generally gave an average / good service. However, there are some important issues which need addressing. Shazad’s aggression, impatience and impertinence. At times Shazad could get very angry unduly I thought. It created quite a tense atmosphere in the car which contributed to both of our stress levels. At times I felt I was learning through the fear of making a mistake. I think this made me a worse driver and at times I didn’t feel encouraged. I also thought at times Shazad could have been more chatty and personable as it sometimes didn’t make for a happy driving experience. At the competitive rate North Star offers, Shazad can be good value for money and I had some very good lessons with him. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the quality of instruction is sporadic and with so many driving instructors out there, I can’t help but suggest you assess your options. Also, I think Newcastle is a hard city to learn to drive! I’m going to do my test in the countryside!

M. H.

Great instructor. He is experienced, skilled, supportive and pays attention to details. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to pass the exam first time.

My wife has passed the driving test today with the help of North Star. I had passed my test 10 years before with them then my little brother in last July and now my wife. Next my daughters to take the pride to join North Star within 12 years time definitely. No doubt the instructor is the most reliable, trustworthy and most importantly the time, effort and concern devoted to the client is praiseworthy. I will recommend North star to anyone (whatever the background from ) without any reserve, and I honestly mean it. OBO- Mrs. Aymon Siddika Zamil

Northstar provides an excellent professional driving coaching service. Friendly advise and motivation helps you to reach your potential sooner than you think and successfully pass your driving test. Highly recommended !!!

Just wanted to say a big thank you! There was a lot of hard times while i was learning to drive, there was a lot of mistakes I kept on making over and over again but my instructor had faith in me and knew i could overcome those mistakes, i really do appreciate all the hard work, stress and effort he put in to not only helping me pass first time but also helped both my brother and sister. We all are really grateful!! Thank you so much!! Shahanara

A special word of thanks goes to my instructor Mr. Shazad Hussien; I am very fortune to have trained with such an outstanding instructor. I am deeply indebted to him for the time and effort he gave me. Shazad's patience, understanding and guidance were essential to my test's success. His deeply and helpful comments and corrections on my driving have led to the completion of the final stage and gaining the full UK driving license. Finally, but certainly most importantly, I am above all, grateful for North Star Driving School for their help and support – thank you all. Best wishes, Aiyedh

Holding a license from another country, attempting a practical test in a foreign place can be a daunting task especially with habits picked up from home. I am sure that the training I received enabled me to understand the style of driving here better - well enough to pass on my first attempt!
