Highly recommended

Thank you so much Mr Hemantha, for supporting me a lot with very useful driving lessons, which were very useful during my driving test. I passed my driving test on my first go. I really appreciated your clear instructions, helping me to get familiar with the exam routes, reducing exam nervousness and making me confident. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for driving lessons.

I had a great experience with Astars Driving School, especially thanks to my instructor, Mr. Hemantha. He was patient, knowledgeable, and provided clear, constructive feedback throughout my lessons, which helped me pass my driving test confidently. His real test route mock tests and encouragement made a big difference. Highly recommended for safe driving lessons!

Best driving instructor

I highly recommend Hemantha Wendakoon for anyone looking to learn to drive in the UK! Hemantha's clear teaching style and excellent guidance made learning to drive a smooth and efficient experience. He provided excellent advice on both the theory and practical tests, and helped me understand nuances of driving in the UK and the confidence I needed to pass my driving test on a very tight deadline(my Sri Lankan license was going to expire next day I as I did my practical test on the 364th day from arriving in the UK) . Thanks to Hemantha, I now have my UK driving license! Astars is a fantastic driving school!

Highly recommended!

I would recommend Mr. Hemantha as the driving instructor for anyone looking to pass their driving test with their concepts very clear. I passed my test with 0 faults and it was all due to his clear instructions, expertise, and patience. His years of experience in this field is second to none and he ensures you go for the test thoroughly prepared.

Outstanding Driving Instructor: A true professional and a complete Coach

Just passed my UK practical driving test, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible guidance of my instructor, Hemantha Wendakoon of Astars Driving School..! He’s a complete coach, dedicated to producing great drivers. From day one, he provided invaluable tips, tricks, and confidence-building techniques that made all the difference. His mock tests on real test routes helped me feel fully prepared, and his friendly yet professional approach made learning so much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to not just pass their test, but become a safe and confident driver for life!
