Students Testimonials
I strongly recommend taking driving lessons. You progress so fast, it's well worth it. My daughter took lessons from Margaret Estrada of Northwest Driving School. Margaret is so kind and patient. My daughter loved talking with her and learning from her. Passed the DMV skills test on the first try. Thanks!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Northwest Driving School, especially with the incredible Ms. Margaret Estrada. As an adult learner who was extremely nervous about driving, I was dreading the process. But from day one, Ms. Estrada made me feel completely comfortable and safe. Her calm demeanor, patience, and genuine care immediately put me at ease.What truly sets Ms. Estrada apart is her unique teaching ability. She has this amazing way of breaking things down in a way that makes everything click. In just a matter of weeks, I went from being a bundle of nerves behind the wheel to driving confidently. She made a tremendous effort to not only teach me the skills I needed but also to build my confidence every step of the way.Thanks to her guidance, I passed my driving test on my first try, and I felt so well-prepared that the test felt like a breeze. I never imagined I would feel that way when I first started, but Ms. Estrada made it possible.If you’re looking to learn how to drive—and learn it well and fast—I 110% recommend Ms. Margaret Estrada. She is truly the best and was made for this. I’m so grateful to have had her as my instructor!
had an incredible experience with Northwest Driving School as an adult learner with a lot of anxiety about driving. Before starting lessons here, I had failed the driving test and felt overwhelmed and unsure on the road. That all changed after working with Marisa, my instructor.Marisa was truly amazing—patient, calm, and incredibly clear in her instruction. From the very first lesson, she helped me feel more confident behind the wheel. She took the time to explain not just how to drive, but why things are done a certain way, which helped me truly understand the rules of the road. Her belief in me and her thoughtful guidance helped me overcome my fear of driving.We didn't just practice around the DMV area—Marisa made sure I was comfortable driving in all kinds of real-world situations around town. Thanks to her, I now feel confident and prepared every time I get behind the wheel. All of that helped me pass the DMV road test!If you’re feeling nervous about driving or haven’t had the best experience elsewhere, I can’t recommend Northwest Driving School enough. Marisa made all the difference for me, and I’m so grateful for everything I learned from her!
I found this school scrolling through my search for best driving schools in Las Vegasand after looking through some reviews I had my classes scheduled for the weekend, and in just two days there was so much Frankie, better known as Mr. Fopiano, had to teach us, not to mention if you take the class here you are automatically accepted to Northwest Career College and it would be a great option for anybody looking to go to medical school. Frankie is not only a good driving instructor and teacher, but he also connects with teens and has an understanding mind. It was great getting to learn the rules of the road with somebody who made it feel like it wasn’t just some boring class that you want to pass. Even if you don’t like Mr. Fopiano (which is hard not to like him) if you pay attention and take notes, his results speak for themselves.

10/10 highly recommend! I’m leaving a Google review cus I refuse to create an account for Yelp.I got the 10 hour package during the spring sale and had Pedro my first 2 days then Simone my last 3 days. Pedro was super encouraging and gentle with his instruction. He’s got a very simplified approach, I use his version of parking. Simone was hilarious and the quintessential mom/fun auntie type. I gave her a heart attack our first session together cus I was strung out on coffee and needed a nap, but she still taught me so much that first day. I use everything she taught me from stopping gently, turning right, how to stop at stop signs- everything but parking, I use from her.Gotta mention Luke too- he’s not an instructor as far as I’m aware but I think he’s the owner of the school? I messed up and didn’t inform one of the instructors where I needed to be picked up from and they were across town. Rules say you have 24 hours to adjust your scheduled sessions but I called, emailed, and left chats to try and get it rescheduled and he gave me a call and reopened the scheduler without charging me extra. That saved me a ton of money right there. So thank you so much for that Luke.I drove in 2 different locations (Sahara and Decatur) and tested at the “more difficult” location Sahara because I was on a time crunch to get my license, happy to report, I passed on my first try after having these 5 classes and about 10 hours total personally. So 20 hours total.
If anyone wants to improve more of their parking then I recommend getting Simone Ranson as a driving instructor. Had an awful start in parking even after multiple lessons but after just a day with her lesson it improved drasticly. If you want extra details in driving thay aren't necessary but would still like to know to be a far better driver then I suggest Pedro Lopez. If you just wanna have a chill time then I suggest Frankie Fopiano but if you want the bare minimum experience to be a good driver then I suggest David Cook.Note: This are the only 4 instructors that I have had so I am unable to say anything else with them but based on my experience with the 4 instructors this is all I could say, this is just my opinion which may be subjected to criticism so don't take it as a fact.
Great instructors! I mainly had driving lessons with Pedro and he was very kind and patient with me (I had failed the drive test 3x prior before consistently taking lessons from Northwest Driving School). He definitely knew all the drive test routes and took time thoroughly teaching each one of them to me. He was hands-on and gave great advice. I am a slow learner and a very nervous test taker but I managed to pass at DMV Sahara thanks to him! Will definitely recommend NWDS to my relatives here in Vegas.
I had an incredible experience at Northwest Driving School, and it’s all thanks to Frankie! From the very beginning, Frankie made me feel at ease and provided clear, step-by-step instructions that helped me feel confident behind the wheel. Frankie’s patience and professionalism were outstanding. Frankie took the time to tailor each session with patience and time. It was on me to do the work as well I went from knowing absolutely nothing to actually enjoying driving and passing the exam. Zach was with frankie and I on my first lesson so he got to see how much I improved. I had a lesson with him and he’s the one that got me confident enough to go on the freeway. I’ve said this so many times, driving is a mind game and this crew at northwest will help you get over it.
Today was my husbands first driving test and he passed, I give a big thanks to debra and frankie, the only thing is frankie is definitely more hands on and my husband said he felt comfortable,safe and like he knew what he was doing. They have no idea how this helped us, I'm pregnant and been walking to work and back because we had no one to show us to drive and my induction is the 25th of this month. Now baby girl would have safe transportation thanks to them.
Roy is an amazing instructor!!! He focuses on safety while letting you get your feel and come into your own as a driver. He’s a great guide for new drivers, his non judgmental approach helps build confidence.
I had an awesome Experience with “Simone Ranson” most awesome instructor made sure I was comfortable and stayed by my side the whole way. I couldn’t have passed without her..
Ms. Simone was my driving instructor, and she was amazing! She knew how be encouraging when you did something right and was very patient in general. I went from being scared of driving to comfortable on the road within 5 lessons!
I had great experience with this driving school. Passed my driving test with 98 points. Dave and Roy, though different in their approaches, both made my lessons very enjoyable. I’d definitely suggest if you are taking more lessons try out different instructors to see who fits you best! 10/10 recommend Northwest Driving
Excellent Driving School with great instructors.I recently passed my behind-the-wheels driving test with Northwest Driving School and I couldn’t be happier with my learning experience. Special thanks to Ms. Debra for her empathy, patience and support. The school’s approach to teaching is thorough, making one well-prepared for the test and also lots of thanks to Frankie and Roy for making each lesson enjoyable and educational.
