North west driving school was the best decision I made for myself. Driving had always been one of my biggest fears but I decided to take on the challenge after doing some research and landing on NWDS. I decided to choose Ms Debra Settle as my driving instructor as I read a lot of really good reviews about her, and I stuck with her throughout my 25 lessons because I really liked her style of teaching. I had never driven before and in my second lesson with her, I was on the freeway!! Debra has a way of validating your fears but helping you understand how to overcome them and how to be safe on the road. She gave great instructions, made me understand that it’s okay to make mistakes and how I can learn from them instead of dwelling on them. She made the atmosphere very comfortable, often just talking to me like a friend which made me way less nervous to drive, because it felt normal. She taught me how to be assertive, while also ensuring that I understood how to keep myself and others safe on the road. She had me drive all over the vegas valley to let me get a taste of different scenarios, intersections, and what to do in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation. She also constantly gave reminders about the appointments and gave courtesy texts when she was on her way. Because of her, I passed my drive test today and can finally say I am a licensed driver!!! Debra, thank you a million times over, i will carry your kind words and wisdom with me forever. You are truly special.
Thank you to North West Driving school, and also Luke for helping me get the drive test scheduled.
To anyone who is considering north west, i highly recommend it. And if you can, go with Ms Debra! There’s a reason why she is always so busy, because she is so great!!!

I want to say I have been so pleased using NWDS. I reached out to Debra personally for our son for a lesson to boost his confidence. For he attempted twice and just wasn’t ready to pass. Debra responded immediately. He just passed his test today with a 99%.
His sisters used them last year for lessons. Also passing drive test with the DMV on their first try. We used the package deal utilizing their vehicle and lesson just before the drive test appointment. I believe other instructors are good but we chose to go with Debra. We could not have been happier with anyone else.
She was very thorough and followed through the process with myself and the kids. It helped that she is very knowledgeable about the rules and laws. Explaining in detail and offers scenarios or a reason why it’s so important.
I highly recommend if your child needs a little extra guidance and mostly to make parents at ease. Choose NWDS, they go above and beyond. Even Luke in the office goes an extra mile with providing value information.

Debra Settle taught all 3 of my kids, they learned so much from her! She patient, calm and clear with instructions and directions. All 3 kids were confident in their driving abilities and passed with flying colors. I would recommend Debra to anyone, she knows how to make someone confident and comfortable in their driving abilities.

genuinely helped me a lot, my instructor Debra was helpful and compassionate, funny and kind and very understanding of my past fears. there were moments where i really thought to myself “i can’t believe i’m doing this, and i’m okay and even enjoy the drive.”, to me that’s big and the most progress with overcoming fears i’ve done so far. Debra was an amazing instructor, the program is flexible to you which is super helpful.

I had a great experience learning to drive with Habtu. He was very patient and calm, which helped me feel less nervous, especially in the beginning. He made a lot of jokes that made me laugh. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and gave helpful tips that actually stuck to me. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test and feel confident driving on my own.

I am SO grateful we found NWDS! My son did 10 hours with Debra and Margaret and they were such amazing teachers! He enjoyed his time driving with them and said they helped him a lot! He got 100% on his drive test for his license! I feel like their instruction has helped him be a safer and more confident driver which is so important to me as a parent. I’ll definitely be back for all my kids! 🙌❤️

I had an amazing experience with Northwest Driving School in Las Vegas as a new permit driver. All of the instructors I worked with; Frankie, Pedro, Zachary, and Deborah, were incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. They each took the time to explain driving skills in a way that was clear, respectful, and easy to understand, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

I never felt rushed or judged, and they created a comfortable learning environment where I could ask questions and improve at my own pace. Thanks to their guidance, I feel much more prepared and confident as a driver. Overall, this was a great first driving instruction experience, and I highly recommend Northwest Driving School to anyone just starting out!
