Astars Driving school Reviews 

His training towards learners is excellent. I started my journey with him by a friend referral , after 2 classes I started believing him more then I continued the lessons. Finally within 23 days I passed my practical test on automatic I am so happy for completing test in that much less time. I definitely recommend him other people as a good instructor. Thank you so much I am confidently driving my car 🥳

I had a great experience learning to drive with my instructor. He was very patient, supportive and explained everything clearly. He always made me feel more confident, even when I was nervous or made mistakes. His guidance and encouragement helped me improve my driving and pass my test. I’m really grateful for all his help and would definitely recommend A Stars Driving School to anyone learning to drive. Thank you so much! 😊🚗🎉

I passed my test 2nd try with Hemantha's continued support even when i wanted to give up. Hemantha is an incredibly patient instructor and is always willing to help

I had a great experience with A Stars Driving School and my instructor Hem in Watford. He was an excellent teacher! Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test on my first attempt. Highly recommended!

Perfect tips and accuracy on what to expect in driving test.

I'd highly recommend Hemantha Wendakoon to anyone learning to drive or preparing for their practical test.
His teaching style is particularly clear and efficient; I could see my driving improve with every lesson. Once my test was booked, he went above and beyond to make sure I was fully prepared and ready in time. Thanks to his guidance, I passed first time with just one minor fault.
I'm very happy with my experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgable and dedicated driving instructor!

Hem is a amazing driving instructor! He has great ways of teaching and molds his teaching to the student. He is very calm and patient.

Great Instructor! Passed my driving test yesterday.

Hem is the BEST driving instructor!! He is very patient, takes time to explain all the driving manoeuvres in detail, and makes me feel so much at ease. As a learner, driving can be scary at first, however Hem reassured me all the time and I gained so much confidence. He is comfortable to be around, friendly, and a great teacher. I would recommend Hem to all my friends and family and anyone who wants to learn how to drive - thank you for helping me pass my manual driving test!

Hem is a great driving instructor. I’ve had different driving instructors but Hem is a rare one, one in a million, the best of the best.
He trained me well and pushed me beyond - to be a good confident driver.
He is very honest, understanding, supportive, always on time for lessons. I would 100% recommend him.

Hem took me on when my previous instructor suddenly had to travel for a family emergency a few weeks before my test.
I passed on my second attempt (15th of November 2025) with him due to nerves. But most of his students pass on their first attempt.
Thank you very much Hem for your support. God bless you.

Was so lucky to have found this company through a friend. So friendly and helped me pass on my first attempt with them.

Would highly recommend

I’m very thankful to Hem! A great instructor—patient, punctual, and very supportive throughout every lesson. He identifies mistakes quickly and helps you correct them through calm, continuous practice. Hem helped me build confidence and taught me everything I needed to pass my driving test on the first attempt. Highly recommend A Stars Driving School!

I would 100% recommend Hemantha as a driving instructor. From the very first lesson, his patience and kindness put me at ease, making the entire learning process amazing. His instructions were always clear and detailed, which helped me grasp challenging things with confidence. Thanks to his calm and steady guidance, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. He not only taught me how to pass the test but also the skills and awareness to be a safe and responsible driver for life. I'm incredibly grateful for all the time he took to explain things thoroughly and answer my questions.

I had a great experience with Astar driving school as Mr Hemantha provided me a great support. Therefore, I highly recommend this driving school who wants proper practice to pass the driving test.

I passed my driving test first time after 30 hours of lessons with Astars Driving School, and I couldn’t be more thankful. My instructor, Hem, was incredibly patient, calm, and supportive throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, gave me confidence behind the wheel, and never made me feel rushed or stressed. His teaching style really helped me improve each week, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. If you’re looking for a reliable and encouraging instructor, I highly recommend Hem at Astars Driving School!

I recently passed my driving test with Mr Hemantha as my instructor and couldn’t be happier! I also completed the Pass Plus course with him shortly after to boost my confidence, reduce my insurance, and refresh my driving skills—especially helpful after getting my new car.

Mr Hemantha was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made each lesson enjoyable and effective. We covered motorway driving in detail, which I hadn’t done before, and he gave me a great recap of key techniques to help me feel more confident on the road. I highly recommend this driving school!

"Thank you so much for your exceptional driving instruction! Passing on the first attempt was a dream come true. Your patience, guidance, and expertise were truly outstanding, and I highly recommend you to anyone learning to drive. Your support made all the difference – thank you again!"

I can’t thank my driving instructor, hemantha, enough for their incredible support! I had to change my test centre at the last minute, and they were so quick and efficient in helping me adapt and get the practice I needed. The whole experience was smooth, professional and honestly enjoyable! Thanks to their excellent teaching and encouragement, I passed my manual driving exam first time! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly driving school that truly goes the extra mile.
