Huge thanks to Mike Oldfield of Awesome Driving School for his thorough instruction and care. My son recently obtained a first go 100% pass after lessons with Mike. Mike has a wealth of knowledge to pass on to students and we would highly recommend him to anyone wishing themselves or their child to learn to drive in a safe and understanding environment.

Teeyah

I started taking lessons with mike and I knew absolutely nothing I was absolutely terrified I wouldn’t be able to drive at all with my knowledge of the road but Mike was absolutely wonderful! He is calm and very reassuring. As someone who suffers with bad anxiety, mike always made me feel comfortable and safe every lesson I took with him. Mike didn’t only help perfect my driving but he helped make me believe in myself and boosted my confidence for driving by myself! I could never have gotten my license without mike! Every lesson was worth every cent I paid for and I was more than happy to have him as an instructor. If your looking for an easy going, very funny instructor that always puts in 100% I highly recommend mike oldfield. I would like to thank mike for being so patient with me and for all the time you spent teaching me and helping me understand things I couldn’t have by myself, and also thank you awesome driving school for providing me with a great instructor.

Anna Sokolovskaya

Eline is really patient and lovely instructor. She needed only 2 attempts to teach me to do a parallel parking without any further problems. I have always struggled with this maneuver, but she used right words and explanation, so I was able to make it straight away. As a result, I have passed my driving test first try. Totally happy with the result and lessons with Eline. Can highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you Eline for your help!

My experience with mike Oldfield from awesome driving school was fantastic. Mike took time to ensure I was learning and understanding all the necessary skills and techniques for the test and everyday life,Mike also took time out of his day to message me the procedures of certain techniques,and it payed off for me as I passed my first test.Highly recommend booking with mike,You won’t regret a single cent spent at awesome driving school,as everything is thought to the very last detail.

Katrina Jones

When first starting to look for an instructor I looked through many different feedbacks of many instructors but Mike Oldfield stood out to me. What made me choose Mike was many reviews saying how patient and observant as an instructor he was and that’s is exactly true. I had Mike as an instructor for just under 12 months, he is patient, easy to speak to, and has excellent knowledge in what you need to know to drive. I could not recommend him highly enough! He is the reason I got my license (first go) the only teacher I had and I’m so grateful for everything he taught me to keep myself, my son and other drivers on the road safe! Thank you for everything Mike!!

James Harvey

I would highly recommend Awesome Driving School! I had Mike Oldfield as my instructor and he taught me the ins and outs of driving, Mike and I grew as good mates during our time together and I've learnt everything good to do with driving safely on the roads. Mike even took me for a lesson on his days off just make sure i have the confidence and knowledge before my test which was really kind and I'm very thankful for it! I would 100% recommend Mike to any new students that would like to learn and become safe drivers on the road, Thank you Mike!

Isobel Slocombe

Awesome driving school was great. I had mike and he was beyond amazing and helped me in many ways which resulted in me passing my ps test first go. I had to go for my test in a area I was not familiar with and mike took me for a lesson on his day off which was so kind of him. Would definitely recommend mike.

Jorja Houghton

I had carl as my driving instructor and i’m so grateful for him, he helped me become such a confident driver and even opened his day off for me to have a lesson before my test and use his car! i don’t think i would’ve passed my test without him, i highly recommend booking with carl!

Olivia Little

Awesome driving school is just awesome! I had Mike as my instructor and if it wasn’t for him I would not have got my ps first go. I’m beyond happy with where he has bought me in my driving skills, (even my friend said that she’s surprised at how good I am) He’s such a good instructor, he’s friendly, easy to get along with and has good knowledge. If you are looking to pass your ps test and gain better and safer driving skills, I highly recommend him to anyone. Big thumbs up from me.

Jemma Psaila

Thank You To Mike from awesome driving school for making me a safe driver & passing my p’s test first go! Mike was a very good instructor and definitely has a lot of experience. Very happy with the things I learnt with Mike and they will forever be remembered while I’m driving! . Jemma

Tabitha Louise

Mike was a friendly, respectful, and professional instructor who knew his stuff. He took on the monumental task of getting me test ready in 2 days with no formal lessons under my belt.
I knew it was a long reach and being such last minute made it almost an impossible task. After 6 lessons over 2 days I took my test and passed on the first go!
Highly recommend and in all honesty you would be mad to go somewhere else.

Blake Prior

Had 3 lessons with Murray and would not hesitate to recommend awesome driving school and Murray as driver great service really helpful

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bartley.

THANK YOU!

Renee Ash

I've been driving with Awsome driving school for 3 months, after my first instructor left he recommended Scott Buchanan, I was a very nervous driver a few months ago and changing instructors was very daunting, Scott put me at easy, his calm,paitent,informative loves a chat and is always happy to laugh along with me when I dont quite do things right Id highly recommend him, I look forward to my weekly drives and that's something I never thought I'd say.

Chantelle Vogt

Customer service is amazing, Always there too help and our driving instructor Sherry is fantastic

Nic Bridge

So yesterday my twin boys started their journey with awesome driving school. I rang in the morning and was set without a worry for the afternoon with a 2hr block to suit us and our busy lives. Was told that we had been booked in with Mike and we would have our keys 2 drive lesson and talk. Mike was great. He sat and spoke with both boys in each lesson and explained what the keys 2 drive was all about. I listened and actually learnt a lot from him that i could use to help them in their driving journey. Then we went for a little drive. By the time this was over the boys and i were comfortable and we instantly booked 3 lessons each for the boys with him. So glad that Mike will take them through to getting their P's. Thanks again

Ashleigh Lakomy

Our whole experience with Awesome driving school has been fantastic.

The customer service provided by the admin staff was definitely 5 star and I can't speak highly enough of how helpful they were right up to booking in the test. I am a complaints manager and very rarely give out this type of praise.

My son had lessons with Carl who was fantastic, put him at ease straight away and spoke on a level that my son could easily relate to. A thoroughly top bloke.

Day before the test Carl took him for a lesson in my sons car and I just wanted to say Thank You as he passed the driving test with 100% even though it was poring with rain!

You guys really are AWESOME!!

Many Thanks
A Happy Mum

Jasmine Turner

Ron taught me ways to work with and around my anxiety over driving for years until I finally got my Ps! Highly recommended.

Sienna Wright

Driving instructor: Mike
Where do I begin~
I’m an 18 year old who suffers with severe anxiety and Dislexia among other things and Mike has made me feel comfortable and welcome in his company.
He has helped pushed me to learn the correct road and safety rules as well as making me feel confident in my driving skill.
I was able to get my license within 6 lessons and passed on my first try~
I highly recommend mike in particular but this is a great reliable place to invest in if you’re wanting your license quickly and safe.

Miriam Holland

Stacy has been my husband David’s instructor for a few weeks now. She is the most patient caring instructor and has boosted my husbands confidence so much. The change I have seen in my husband has been incredible. I want to thank you Stacy and I would recommend you to anyone needing driving lessons.
Thank you for continuing with his driving lessons.

Thanks
Miriam Holland

Luke Stilo

Steve is an outstanding instructor who taught me stuff above and beyond of what I needed to know for the test of which I was successful and was funny and a patient instructor.

Matthew Madden

As a 35 year old, with no driving experience and anxiety issues which have prevented me getting behind the wheel, booking a lesson with an experienced and understanding instructor was very important to me. Mike was exceptional, from teaching me the basics, to having me pass my driving test on the first attempt and providing me the necessary skills to become a safe driver on the roads. Due to busy work and study demands, I relied on lessons from Mike and the Awesome Driving School almost exclusively, and to have passed my driving test after a few short months, was beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks for giving me my independence, I cannot recommend Mike and the Awesome Driving School highly enough!

Michelle Gonzales

I had Ed as my instructor and i cant thank him enough for such a wonderful learning experience. Ed is very calm and patient. I highly recommend him to all Learners. Thank you Ed! I couldnt have passed my Ls test without you

Taylor Stirton

I couldn’t of asked for a better instructor. After driving for over a year I needed someone who could teach me everything I needed in order to pass my test. I had only 4 lessons with Mike and in that time I was able to complete everything necessary and gain more confidence than I ever thought I could. I passed my test first go 100%! Im very thankful for everything Mike did for me and I couldn’t recommend him enough to other drivers.

Jamie Eagleton

I had all my lessons with Mike. Mike is a great instructor that instilled confidence in me that I did not know I had! I went from a driver who did not know much about driving at all, to a driver who passed their P’s test 100%! Thank you so much Mike!

Sybil Shen

I had Ron as my instructor for a while and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is such a nice person and always calm and patient. He constantly cheers me up and builds my confidence. I had a couple more lessons with him as test drives before I went for my P and it was extremely helpful! He knows where those routes are and where they are looking to exam you exactly. He always gave me positive feedbacks at the end of driving lessons even I knew I did a couple of mistakes. I really appreciate his positive words because they certainly helped me build my confidence to pass the test. If anyone is looking for an instructor, Ron is the one you want to have.

Sam Girkin

5 stars! Ron has helped me so much with my driving skills and confidence. I would not have been able to get my license without his help. Highly recommended school, especially for anxious drivers! Could not rate highly enough!

Georgia Pearce

Would highly recommend awesome driving school to anyone. Marty got me through my test and I wouldn’t have passed without him. Best driving instructor I’ve ever had by far.

Bianca Morris

From a person having major anxiety I remember the first day Mike turned up for my driving lesson. I was so nervous and didn't want to get out of the house. For the first couple of weeks I didn't get out into any traffic, but as the months when on and getting to know Mike really helped calm my anxiety and he was really understanding to what I was going through. And he has now shown me to be confident within myself and driving. To the point where I got my Ps first go. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him.

Michelle Bristow

Highly recommend Awesome Driving School!
After being offroad for 5 years, Ron put my anxious mind at ease! Very calm and engaging instructor who I will definitely be in touch with when my daughter gets her L's!
4 lessons and an OT assessment and I now have my full licence back!
Thankyou!

I had a total of 7 driving lessons with Mike, before my first lesson I knew the basics and wasn’t a confident driver but with all the time I’ve spent with Mike he’s taught me so much and gave me all the confidence and preparation I needed to passing my test on the first attempt.

I can’t thank Mike enough for everything’s he’s done for me!

He is down to earth, honest, kind, and greeted my fears like an old friend. I can’t wait to take my test and thank him.

Ethan Johnston

Great driving school had lessons with Steve Mitchell very professional & knowledgeable . Got My P's today ,cheers Ethan :)

Elize Smit

I wished I contacted Awesome Driving School sooner. As a parent those first 30-40 hours can be SO stressful.
Mike Oldfield was highly recommended and I can see why. I reached out to him on his day off but he spent almost 30 minutes with me on the phone finding out about my L-platers ( I have twins) before making the bookings for them. No wonder he is booked way in advance. He obviously knows what he is talking about, have years of experience and I have confidence that he can help my kids be better drivers.

Auron Madigan

Thankyou so much for all the kind words and support during my lessons, ended in getting my P's first go ??

Kiara Frost

I thoroughly recommend Mike. My daughter Kiara passed her test first go with 100% pass rate. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He made Kiara feel comfortable and was always professional with a very clean and organised car. Mike is very passionate about teaching people how to drive and goes out of his way to ensure his clients are ready to sit their test. He is always contactable and happy to help and answer questions. I can only speak very highly of him and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor.

Marie Medina

Paul was really ‘awesome’ as he helped me pass my driving test with flying colours. His calm but firm ways of teaching makes it easier. Made me boost my confidence in driving knowing how jittery I am. Thanks so much for your patience! Highly recommended!

Nathan Hill

My name is Nathan Hill and my instructors name is Mike Oldfield from Awesome Driving School. When I first started driving my mother had showed me the ropes however my first lesson with mike is one I’ll never forget. I remember thinking that I was quite confident in myself when it came to driving and thought that I knew a lot from what my mum showed me. However after my first lesson I was so confident knowing we had chosen the right Driving School and definitely the right instructor.

I hopped in the car with Mike and he gave me a covid safe elbow bump to greet each other for the first time. He smiled and seemed quite inviting, relaxed, friendly and eager to have me there with him for my first hour with an instructor.

The first thing he taught me was the controls in the car, then pulling away from the kerb, I had no idea about the procedures involved and then he told me about blind spots etc which I never knew anything about them and him just telling me this made me 10 times safer than I previously was. He told me to check my right blind spot before pulling out, not once but twice and be aware of all your surroundings while pulling away from the kerb.

Stepping out of the car I felt relaxed, happy and motivated by my experience I’ve had with mike and told my mother about how much he taught me in just one hour and how choosing Awesome was the way to go!

All my lessons have been with Mike ever since as well as my twin brothers lessons and mum could not be happier as well as MYSELF. He always tells me about Awesome Driving school, he lives and breathes Awesome, whenever I see him he speaks of how Awesome make us kids safe while driving, he followed that up and said “Whenever you’re in this car with me I can guarantee you one thing my friend. You are safer than any other driver on the road because I’ll be here to help.” It made me genuinely feel safe and along the way I’ve made my mistakes but he was always there to help me if I messed up, for example my revers

Madelyn Gage

Thanks Bartley,
You made me feel very comfortable and confident to pass my test today.

Brittany Griffith

Hi
I had Marty as my Instructor. He was always pleasant & clear with instructions which I believed helped me achieve my goals. Could not have done with out him.

Always friendly and happy.

Brittany Griffith

Anna Battersby

Such a Great driving school! I learnt more in one lesson with Mike than I did in multiple lessons with different schools.

Heidi Dunbar

I highly recommend Mike Oldfield for not only his knowledge but his calm & supportive teaching manner . Mike has taught 2 of my kids to drive and has made the whole process fun & stress free . Mike is very accommodating with working in with times and additional lessons as needed . Thanks Mike !! ??

Emily Porter

I had my first ever driving lesson with mike oldfield. I was very nervous for the lesson but as soon as I got in the car mike made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. He had a lot of knowledge and an amazing sense of humor. I really in enjoyed my lesson and can’t wait for the next one. Overall I learned a lot about driving and the roads.

Nathan Hill

My instructors name is Mike Oldfield. My first lesson with him is one I’ll never forget. I remember thinking that I was quite confident in myself when it came to driving and thought that I knew a lot, mike then showed me many thing such as blind spots which I never knew about, he told so many tips and tricks all while being comforting, funny, relaxing and caring throughout the entire lesson. He’s been like this with me for all of my lessons and I know the rest of them will be. He doubled or even tripled my confidence in diving in just one lesson, 10/10 would recommend him to everyone.

Aaron Hill

My driving experience with Mike Oldfield was awesome because he had shown me many different things when it comes to driving, observing and safety inside the car. I started off not even knowing what my blind spots were to now where I have been able to confidently drive in the city, on the M1 and in high density traffic. I have been taught by mike many essential things such as how to check blind spots, have a clear view of all around my vehicle, how to properly do a three-point turn and a parallel park etc. The list goes on! Overall mike is a terrific instructor who will not only get you ready for your p’s test but also a safe and confident driver.

Emily Ziekenheiner

I highly recommend micheal oldfield from awesome driving school if anyone’s looking for driving lessons. he is such a kind person and the way he teaches is brilliant. he teaches in a really calm way which makes it really nice and easy to drive when i’m with him. i couldn’t be more grateful to have such an amazing driving teacher, i can’t thank him enough for everything he’s taught me.

JEMAYA HEINZEL

When I first got my licence I was an anxious and panicked driver but thanks to Awesome Driving School and it's great instructor's like Colin, I was able to pass my P's test without any worries. Colin is a great teacher who is effective in braking down every challenge I faced driving into simple steps. I would definitely recommend any future Learner driver's to Awesome Driving School.

Barrett Charalambous

Hi I’m Barrett’s mum and I am so impressed with his driver Dave. Barrett suffers from anxiety and he has made Barrett’s journey into driving so easy. He was so hesitant in driving and not wanting to do it. He is more at ease with his driving lessons when they come about with David. When he was driving with his us he was so reluctant about driving but is so much more at ease with David from awesome driving school.!

Shania Hornsey

I chose awesome driving school because of its top reviews and let me tell you they did not let me down. I had driving instructor Mike teaching me and I cannot thank him enough for the lessons he gave me, often at the expense of his own free time. I can honestly say that without regular lessons from Mike I would not have passed first go on my test as he taught me rules I wasn't even aware of, although never overwhelming me with all the information I needed to process. Thank you Mike and Awesome Driving school for helping me through an important milestone in my life.

Sean Riley

My driver is Murry Besley he is patient and gives clear instructions and is very helpful

Ellanor

I would highly recommend awesome driving school to anyone and in particular i would highly recommend Mike. He is patient, reassuring, easy to get along with and has no problem getting a laugh out of you. If it wasn’t for Mike there would be no way i would’ve ever passed my p’s test, let alone on the first go. every lesson i had with mike motivated me to become a safer and smarter driver on the road. I’m very thankful for all the time and effort Mike put into my driving. He made sure that i was completely 100% ready and confident to go for my p’s test. If you’re looking to past your p’s test and gain better driving knowledge, i would highly recommend him to anyone.

Overall, my experience with awesome driving school in particular Mike was exceptional! I started off as a very nervous driver and with Mike as my driving instructor I felt reassured and comfortable on the road. Mike is very thorough and patient which allowed for my skills to continue to develop each time I got behind the wheel with him. I could not have passed my P’s test first go without Mike’s highly experienced and knowledgeable instructing!

Courtney Smith

My daughter had her learners for 2 1/2 years before we met Mike. She had had five instructors prior to Mike. We found Mike had patience understanding and really nurtured my daughter's needs. She was a very anxious driver. Mike took her on regular driving lessons and overnight she became more confident. He taught her some life skills and safe driving habits. Mike is fair, kind but firm when he needs to be. She passed her driving test first time. Thanks Mike for your kindness understanding and guidance throughout my daughters venture. She now has her freedom????????????

Sarah Whight

I had many lessons with Ron being taught the technicalities of driving and how to prepare for when I am driving on my own.
Ron was absolutely brilliant! I passed my test on the first try and learnt how to be a good and safe driver.
Thank you Ron and Awesome Driving ??

Kasey Harris

We chose Mike Oldfield to teach our daughter Kasey to drive and this was one of the best decisions we could have made to ensure she would be safe on the road. From the first meeting with Mike, Kasey felt very comfortable and wanted more lessons. Mike was extremely patient and understanding of Kasey’s needs to become a better driver. He consistently praised her building her confidence as well. His car was always very clean and comfortable. Mike is first class when it comes to his instructional knowledge and teaching skills. His patience and dedication to Kasey and her driving was as if she was his own. We highly recommend Mike if your looking for a great instructor. With his help Kasey passed her P’s test with 100% first go (even on his day off) and we are certain that she now takes to the roads on her own with as much knowledge and skill that is needed to make her a safe driver. If your looking for an Awesome Instructor, Mike is the No1 go to. Thanks

Christian Henderson

Stuart has been a very helpful and amazing driving teacher. I had all of my lessons with him and he has taught me a lot and was able to help me pass my P’s test first try. Thank-you for all of your help and I recommend this company to anyone that wants to work on their driving skills whilst getting some log book hours in the process

Zarlie Eurell

When my Mum and I started looking for a driving instructor we were not sure where to start but after hearing from our neighbour about the Awesome Driving School we looked through the reviews.

The one instructor that stood out the most for my mum was Mike Oldfield. His reviews were all very positive with the main point of being very patient and observant.

I engaged Mike as my instructor for the last few months of my learners so i could get the correct knowledge and guidance in order to pass for my license first go.

Mike was the most patient driving instructor who explained every road rule possible and broke down every instruction clear and precise. He taught me how to drive with care and confidence and allowed my mum to ease her nerves for when i was ready to drive on my own.

He was very funny , kind and caring and went above and beyond to ensure i was ready for my driving test before christmas. I passed my first driving test with flying colours all thanks to Mike and his teaching.

We cannot recommend Mike enough and are very grateful for everything that he has taught me.

Thankyou so so much Mike,
Zarlie and Beck

Tevita

The name says it all "awesome driving school".
Mike went above and beyond to acomadate me as I'm not from Australia I had no idea how to navigate service nsw or how to transfer my tongan drivers license to Australian (let alone the rules of the road here) Mike broke everything down and simply explained the whole process to me helping/coaching me along the way he taught me alot more that just how to drive a car to pass a test. He taught me skills I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Mike's level of professionalism an care factor for his students goes beyond learning to drive on the road, he was accomadating around my young family and my fulltime job. Mike was able to help me set realistic goals and within a 3 month turn around I was out on the road driving. I past my test 100% first attempt.

Sara

I highly recommend Awesome Driving School and in particular Nick Hodgkinson if you are interested in learning to drive. Nick was a very calm, patient and extremely helpful instructor. I recently passed my driving test after the first attempt and am very grateful.

Keira Spokes

Scott Buchanan and awesome driving school have been a wonderful help in my effort to get my P’s. Every lesson was relaxed and easy to learn from. I even managed to get 100% on my P’s test first go!!

Couldn’t be more happy with this place and I really do recommend it!!

Karina Baxter

When i had my first driving lesson i was so nervous and had no clue what i was doing, Mike is the best driving instructor, he helped me overcome my nerves and has helped me through everything and has made me become a better and safer driver. He taught me so much and because of Mike, i passed my drivers test first go!!

Emily Strong

Nick was an amazing driving instructor! He was friendly, easy to talk to and a great teacher. After only having 4 lessons I passed my driving test. Thanks again Awesome Driving School!

Varis Hyslop

Bartley was a fantastic instructor! Both calm and helpful, we were able to correct the bad habits I had developed while driving. I passed the first time and owe it to his guidance. Furthermore, on the day of the test, there was a mixup with times. He was great in keeping me calm for the test and solving the problem. He also had a great relationship with the tester and that instantly made me feel more comfortable with the whole process. Overall a great instructor and would recommend to anyone going for their test.

Shania Hornsey

I would like to highly recommend Mike. He has an excellent way of teaching that helps u understand. I have siblings and we will definitely be contacting Mike when they get their Ls. Thank you Mike.

Kyah Schofield

Mike is a great driving instructor!! He has taught me all the things that needed to be covered to pass my test and gave me the confidence to drive. He’s very friendly and always helpful.
Thank you Mike.

Courtney Justice

Would absolutely recommend Mark DayHe was so easy going and great to talk to. 2 years ago I tried to get my P’s and with 2 failed attempts I gave up and didn’t try again. My anxiety about going for my P’s again after having my L’s for 5 years and having to redo the computer test was terrible but with marks help I DONE IT!
Mark explains everything and than confirms that you understand before proceeding. He also takes time to help in areas needed the most.
I had an amazing experience and learnt new things. I done my test with 100% confidence this time and passed first try after lessons with Mark.

Frances Gruchy

I would highly recommend Bartley as an instructor! He is very experienced, knowledgeable and extremely supportive - I enjoyed every one of his lessons! I felt very safe and empowered driving with him.

Steve was knowledgeable, although I felt his communication and language was inappropriate at times. He also raised his voice to deliver points.

Yasmin Sultana

Would just like to thank stacey for her amazing teaching skills for my driving lessons and test. She is a very polite and passionate person and will be letting my friends know about her and the wonderful job she does.

Kelly Chen

Paul is super friendly, calm, patient and easy-going instructor. I had 4 lessons with him before doing my driving test and I passed on the first go! He is very knowledgeable and taught me the ins and outs on how to be a super safe and confident driver. After doing lessons with him, I felt so much more comfortable with my driving skills. Much appreciation and big thanks to Paul! Highly recommend him to all learner drivers out there :)

Neel

I had Mike Oldfield as my instructor and my experience with him was awesome, I had my Ls for quite a long time when I was learning with other instructors, however, when I had him as an instructor he encouraged me and helped me get it done in a few months. He even gave me lessons on some of his days off, he was very thorough and friendly and really improved both my driving ability and knowledge of the road. I passed my test on my first go, all thanks to him, and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their driving skills.

Ethan

Mark was amazing! Super supportive, encouraging and perfect for the anxious driver! I highly reccomend him. Thank you so much Mark! Ethan passed first go! Woo!

Kayla Small

I can not thank Marty enough for preparing my son (Lachie) for his provisional driving test.

Martys friendly and encouraging personality as well as his expertise, helpful tips and advice most certainly helped my son pass on his first attempt.
During his driving lessons Marty explained things to my son in ways that he could understand, remember and then use independently. Lachie gained so much knowledge from Marty and I personally thank him for that.

I couldn’t recommend Awesome Driving School more.

Bradley

Highly suggest booking a lesson with them the have got some great instructors which helped me become a better and safe driver

Aaron Terrell

Marty was the most amazing and caring instructor he shared some laughs with me and some conversation and when I got a bit flustered gave me a minute to regain my composure he stuck by me for the long journey thamk you awesome driving school and Marty

Khaleesa Whittaker

Had a wonderful learning experience with Mike Oldfield; he taught me all the things I needed to know for the driving test as well as making me an overall safer and more knowledgeable driver. In only a few lessons, he taught me such valuable techniques and rules that I never knew about beforehand. I can definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to be more confident and safe with their driving. Thanks again!

Bridie Lennon

Very knowledgeable, patient. 12/10 would recommend to any learner

Corey

Marty is both a great bloke and a great instructor. He taught me the best ways to drive and perform manoeuvres with ease, and it was a pleasure to work with him. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to perfect their driving.

Talia Grima

Eline Veitch was really good she helped me so much and she even tutored me when she normally has the time She was so patient and went way beyond her job . I got a 100% which amazed my dad . He was so surprised ELINE GETS 10 out of 10 from me I am so grateful to you Eline love Talia Absolutely great Instructor

Finn Robertson

Mark Castelli is not only a great driving instructor with incredible skills and knowledge, but he is also very kind and understanding. He takes away your nerves and allows you to be relaxed and comfortable whilst also teaching the technical aspects of road safety and driving performance. We cannot speak highly enough of Mark and would recommend him to everyone. We have already decided to use Mark's skills and dedication for our next child when she gets her L's in the future.

Finn.

Eliott Pearce

Honestly a top driving school and a massive shout out to Marty Armstrong for being an awesome instructor and helping me get my p’s????

Joel Blyton

Awesome Driving School was great. l had Bartley, and he was the best teacher that l could have. He taught me how to drive in a manual car and all the important things that come behind car these cars.

Review

Had an amazing experience today.
I had my first driving lesson with Mike Oldfield,
before my test he taught me so many things I never knew if it wasn’t for my lesson with him I would’ve never passed. He was patient explained everything extremely well and was really nice.
I was so lucky to have an instructor like him thank you awesome Driving!!!

Sterling Witt

Best bloke ever

Rhiannon Sim

A big Thankyou to Awesome and their wonderful instructor Sherry. Always patient and supportive, helped my daughter who has anxiety get her licence achieving 99%.
We couldn't have got there without her. Highly recommend Sherry.

Tex Arthur

Mike Oldfield was an amazing instructor for myself and my sister. We have both said that the way Mike instructs is in a very professional manner and only wants the best for his students. He explains things very well and knows everything there is to know on the course. Mike is an instructor for Awesome driving school and is a very nice man but harsh when he needs to be. He explains manoeuvres to the best way possible and with little explanation I understand exactly what he is saying with only such little detail. He always makes sure that I am not confused by asking me if I have any questions for him.

John Paine

Having recently turned eighty and suffered a badly broken leg, I was very concerned when the Roads and Maritime Services required me to have a driving test before renewing my drivers license. My last test was 1959. I contacted Awesome to arrange a test. I was most fortunate to have Sherry give me the test. Her reassuring attitude and pleasant manner put me at ease and I completed the test confidently and well. Thank you Sherry. John P.

Nicola Muirhead

I have just started driving lessons with Mike Oldfield. I have found him to be very patient, clear with instructions and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Mike also went through the Keys2Drive lesson which was very informative. I feel that I have picked up many tips and have improved so much already. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you Mike!

Jay Hooghuis

Bartley has gone above and beyond in supporting my son to get his P's. Bartley was always prompt and friendly, he provided great feedback and practical advice to improve my son's driving. He was incredibly flexible and adapted to meet our needs for lessons. On the day of my son's test Bartley was an amazing support and my son passed first go! Thanks Bartley! We will be back with our next learner driver!

Tara Hamlyn

Steve was really good for helping me gain my confidence in driving and helped me pass my test being as prepared as I could be.
I highly would recommend Awesome Driving School.

Michelle Presgrave

mark was very helpful in getting me through the lessons and to the test. he created a good learning environment without any unneeded pressure. thanks

Riley Kemble

The Safety Driver's Course was most helpful in understanding and recognising the expectations and standards that are required to drive safely and competently on the roads. Sherry Marie was a terrific instructor who was able to explain rules and requirements in a positive way, as well as providing feedback and correctional information similarly.
Sherry positively engaged with us, the students and we had many interesting conversations and speak comfortably about ourselves as well as our driving. Despite making the cumbersome journey from the central coast for our course, Sherry knew the local test courses well and was able to provide assistance in how to best navigate this circuit. I would certainly recommend this course to any one on their Learner's License.
Riley

Giovanna Rosit

I would definitely recommend Stacy for driving lessons. She had taught me so many techniques that helped me passed my test, and had showed me many valuable tips for my manoeuvres. She was very calm and explained everything very well.

Isabella Yu

I am loving my lessons, it’s really helpful and fun!!! Steve is great with his analogies, putting my driving learning into real life perspectives. He even gets out of the car to show me he can disappear into my blind spots. From reception through to the instructor, the team is so friendly! I also think the text message reminder system is awesome. I never forget my lesson. I highly recommend this driving school. 100% love awesome driving school!!!

Isaac Wightman

I had multiple lessons with Mike from Awesome Driving School and it was clear that he really did care that I not only passed my driving test but also became a much better, and safer driver. Mike went above and beyond to ensure that I learnt all manoeuvres and procedures correctly and knew how to apply them to everyday driving. He was friendly, easy to be in a car with, and professional. I would definitely recommend both Mike and Awesome Driving School to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Will Adams

Instructors patient ( Ron got me to test ready with just the right amount of confidence) Colin stepped in for my test, as Ron was not available. Colin and Ron both had confidence in me and very reassuring. Would highly recommend Awesome driving school. Office staff were always polite and accommodating. Will Adams

Would recommend Stacey to anyone looking a lessons .

Jack Jenkins

My son had Scott as his driving instructor. I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and also how at ease with his positive personality , it made my son feel. Passed his test yesterday first attempt.
Thank you very much for all your help.

Riley Moore

Mike was an amazing instructor who helped me build confidence in my ability on the road in a short period of time. His knowledge of testing procedures and his professionalism during lessons were contributing factors to me passing my driving test first go.
I cannot thank Mike enough for all of his help. Your tips and advice not only helped me pass my test but have helped me become a safer, more confident driver.

Jacinta Boyd

Mike is very professional, his teaching is concise. He gave me confidence in my driving, I passed first go. Even with COVID-19 causing my test to be rescheduled two months later, he was super kind shuffling my lessons around so that I would still have lessons close to my test date ensuring I was ready. I highly recommend Mike as a driving instructor.

Samantha Pal

Eline was amazing and comfortable to drive with. She was kind through instructions and preparations for my test. I couldn't have passed without her!!

Riley Felton

Mike was absolutely fantastic. From the start of the lesson, arriving before the booked time, to his patience, wealth of knowledge and understanding. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone wanting a driving instruction with everything that is needed to get their licence. Thanks Mike very appreciated, Belinda and Riley ??

Riley Felton

Very professional and experienced. Always giving handy tips and helped me to learn more than I would’ve imagined. Always on time and easily adjusts to changes. Very happy with my experience.

Murrey was amazing! Can not recommend him enough! Because of him, I passed my ps test first go!

Georgia Moy

Amazing driving instructor very professional and accomodating.

Laura Jamieson

Mike has been my driving instructor for the past 3 months and each lesson I felt like I was so much more confident in my driving ability. Mike always assured me that I would be able to pass my P's test first try if I followed his instructions. He taught me many little ways to remember the technical things that I have to do, and I don't think I will ever miss checking my blind spots again! I passed my P's test first go, and I know that that would have been impossible without Mike's teaching! I would 10/10 recommend Mike and Awesome Driving School! Thank you!

Isabella Keft

I had Eline and she was great ! I learnt so much and passed my p’s test on my first try :)

Benjamin Halton

Mike is an outstanding driving instructor who helped me come so far in my driving and without him I don’t think I would have been able to pass my driving test first go. Mike was always willing to take calls even when he wasn’t working if I had any questions.
