I'd highly recommend Hemantha Wendakoon to anyone learning to drive or preparing for their practical test.
His teaching style is particularly clear and efficient; I could see my driving improve with every lesson. Once my test was booked, he went above and beyond to make sure I was fully prepared and ready in time. Thanks to his guidance, I passed first time with just one minor fault.
I'm very happy with my experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgable and dedicated driving instructor!
Highly reccomend this driving school
Hem is a amazing driving instructor! He has great ways of teaching and molds his teaching to the student. He is very calm and patient.
Excellent teaching
Great Instructor! Passed my driving test yesterday.
Hem is the BEST driving instructor!
Hem is the BEST driving instructor!! He is very patient, takes time to explain all the driving manoeuvres in detail, and makes me feel so much at ease. As a learner, driving can be scary at first, however Hem reassured me all the time and I gained so much confidence. He is comfortable to be around, friendly, and a great teacher. I would recommend Hem to all my friends and family and anyone who wants to learn how to drive - thank you for helping me pass my manual driving test!
Great Service
Hem is a great driving instructor, the best I’ve ever had.
Hem is a great driving instructor. I’ve had different driving instructors but Hem is a rare one, one in a million, the best of the best.
He trained me well and pushed me beyond - to be a good confident driver.
He is very honest, understanding, supportive, always on time for lessons. I would 100% recommend him.
Hem took me on when my previous instructor suddenly had to travel for a family emergency a few weeks before my test.
I passed on my second attempt (15th of November 2025) with him due to nerves. But most of his students pass on their first attempt.
Thank you very much Hem for your support. God bless you.

Highly recommend Astars Driving school!
I passed my driving test first time after 30 hours of lessons with Astars Driving School, and I couldn’t be more thankful. My instructor, Hem, was incredibly patient, calm, and supportive throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, gave me confidence behind the wheel, and never made me feel rushed or stressed. His teaching style really helped me improve each week, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. If you’re looking for a reliable and encouraging instructor, I highly recommend Hem at Astars Driving School!
Excellent Experience- highly recommend this driving school
I recently passed my driving test with Mr Hemantha as my instructor and couldn’t be happier! I also completed the Pass Plus course with him shortly after to boost my confidence, reduce my insurance, and refresh my driving skills—especially helpful after getting my new car.
Mr Hemantha was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made each lesson enjoyable and effective. We covered motorway driving in detail, which I hadn’t done before, and he gave me a great recap of key techniques to help me feel more confident on the road. I highly recommend this driving school!

A great driving instructor experience
I can’t thank my driving instructor, hemantha, enough for their incredible support! I had to change my test centre at the last minute, and they were so quick and efficient in helping me adapt and get the practice I needed. The whole experience was smooth, professional and honestly enjoyable! Thanks to their excellent teaching and encouragement, I passed my manual driving exam first time! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly driving school that truly goes the extra mile.
