3 Best Driving Schools in Newcastle, NSW

We cannot speak highly enough of Chuck. He taught both of our daughters to drive, one in an auto, the other in a manual. Both were successful in passing their driving tests on the first attempt. Chuck has been fantastic to deal with and we could not have asked for a better instructor. He is very patient and supportive with his students. He would take the time at the end of each lesson to discuss with us as parents the outcome of each lesson and he provided great feedback. His lessons have a strong emphasis on road safety that ensures students build more confidence with each lesson that passes. Its been a great journey with Chuck and my wife and I are sad that our interactions have now come to end. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone searching for a fantastic driving instructor and have no doubt entrusting him to start your young drivers off on the right path. Thanks for everything Chuck!

I recently had the pleasure of having Chuck assigned as my daughter’s driving instructor in Newcastle NSW. I can't recommend him enough! Chuck made her feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel and he built rapport quickly. His teaching style is clear and patient, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps. Chuck provided valuable feedback and encouragement to both my daughter and I. He was always accomodating of my often last minute requests and made every attempt to schedule lessons at times that were convenient. My daughter now has her P’s and I feel confident in her ability to drive safely and sensibly. Highly recommend.

Had Chuck as my driving instructor and he was fantastic. He knew the improvements I needed right away and worked on them with each lesson. He was very patient and knowledgable with his explanations. He easily helped me into becoming a safer and better driver. Thank you, Chuck!

Learn Drive Survive completed a refresher and Older Driver Assessment for my 85 year old father last week. He was quite anxious about the whole thing. Dee reassured him over the phone prior that it would be done in a calm environment. When he met Grant for the assessment he straight away felt at ease with Grants calm nature. My father successfully completed his assessment and left with some tips on things he can improve on. He’ll hopefully see Grant again in 2 years time for his next Older Driver Assessment. Thank you Grant and Dee.

I wish we'd found you sooner! John is a fantastic instructor who helped my son gain the confidence and practical skills needed to go for his license. We've had a couple of different driving schools - one didn't have online booking and never replied to messages, and the other gave my son an instructor who took the lesson as an opportunity to vent his political views rather than focus on teaching my son how to drive. Thank goodness we found you!

Thank you John for the excellent guidance getting my license. I went from inexperienced and unconfident to passing my test with an almost perfect score. His approach was friendly, informative and coached me in all areas I was struggling with, always letting me know where I needed to focus on and making sure we nailed those areas. Highly recommend him to anyone going for their P's no matter what stage of driving they are at. Thanks mate!

Wow, what an amazing experience! I just passed my driving test and got my full license, all thanks to the incredible instructor Jayshree at Jay's A-1 Driving School! From the very first lesson, I felt comfortable and confident with my instructor, who was patient, knowledgeable, and made learning to drive a breeze. Her expert guidance, wealth of experience on the job played out and support every step of the way was top-notch. I couldn't have done it without her! The school's friendly and professional atmosphere made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jay's A-1 Driving School to anyone looking to learn how to drive. Trust me, you won't regret it! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Thank you, Jay's A-1 Driving School, for helping me achieve my driving dreams!"

Absolutely the best driving school in town. Very experienced,humble and knowledgeable instructor. I have been driving for 10 years, I consider myself a safe driver but I failed my exam in 1st attempt. Took sessions with Jay’s A1 and I realised that there are so many aspects of this exam which are important and routinely ignored by learners. In my opinion it is very difficult to pass this test without guidance from an experienced instructor like Jays. Highly recommend anybody who wants to take the driving test.

I am thrilled to announce that I have received my full Australian driving license today. I owe this achievement to Jay Ma’am, who provided me with excellent guidance and key insights throughout the process. Her driving school is one of the best in the Newcastle area, and I highly recommend Jay’s A-1 Driving School to anyone seeking driving lessons. Thank you so much, Ma’am.
