Reviews for Northwest Driving School in Las Vegas, Nevada
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.
