I highly recommend her she’s so kind and lovely but also very professional!

Fantastic experience: By far the best driving instructor around (my man Walks)! I wasn’t a massively confident driver to begin with and certainly never expected to have a laugh while learning. After a short time I ended up passing with ease and will be forever grateful. Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for someone with great knowledge, is down to earth, and will get you passed!

Fantastic experience: Amazing support and great teaching .hats off to to the commitment shown .thank you gold star

Fantastic experience: My heartfelt appreciation extends to Goldstar Driving Academy Rotherham for their remarkable assistance in my success at passing the practical driving test on my first endeavor. A special mention goes to Sarah, whose astute professional advice and adaptive teaching approach significantly enriched my training. Despite the unforeseen requirement to travel to Barnsley for my test, Sarah’s remarkable flexibility and coaching proficiency were invaluable. Additionally, Ryla’s initial instruction laid the groundwork for my progress. Thank you, Goldstar, for your exceptional service!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Gold Star. The lessons were well-organized, and the entire process, from booking to my driving test, was smooth and stress-free. My instructor was chatty and supportive and the flexible schedule made it easy to fit lessons into my week. A special thank you to my instructor, Ryla, who was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging throughout. You helped me build confidence on the road, and I couldn't have passed without your guidance! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing instructor, Ryla. I couldn’t have asked for a more understanding and helpful instructor. Before coming here, I was so nervous about the prospect of driving but, after my lessons, I am now more confident in everything I do. I highly recommend Goldstar Driving Academy for anyone who is nervous or less confident.

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test the first time, couldn't have done this without Nab and Pav! They are literally the best instructors ever! Their patience with me and guidance gave me the confidence to overcome my nervousness and become a confident and safe driver. Each lesson was structured according to what I had to improve on. Started the first half of my driving journey with Pav and the second half with Nab.Their both absolute professionals and super friendly aswell. I'm definetly going to miss my lessons with Nab. She made me feel so comfortable and always gave me quick tips to correct my driving mistakes. Sometimes I felt like she believed in me, more than I believed in myself. I've had lessons with other instructors previously but with them I was getting no where, finding Gold Star driving academy was the biggest blessing! Thank you guys ❤️

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Nab. She made me feel completely at ease from day one, always listening to my input and ensuring I never felt overwhelmed. Her calm and professional demeanor, combined with her ability to personalize each lesson to suit my needs, made learning to drive an enjoyable experience. I truly couldn’t have done it without her help. I really will miss the lessons with her. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test, 1st time at it, all hard work done by Instructor Taz, truly amazing guy. I recommend this school 100%, anyone looking to learn to drive Goldstar is the choice, don't think twice about it, just go with them.

Fantastic experience: Originally I was taking lessons else where, but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. But when I moved to gold star I immediately noticed the professionalism and knowledge of my instructor Nab, who's teaching methods where more detailed and exactly what I needed! I will recommend them to anyone in the future. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I passed first time today because of my amazong instructor Ryla. She is so kind and friendly. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I only had a brief time with gold star driving school but every lesson I had with my instructor was so enjoyable, I sometimes get nervous when driving but my instructor made me feel so much more relaxed and confident in my driving ability. I would definitely recommend gold star driving school I think I would have really struggled to pass my driving test without my new instructor Ryla.

Fantastic experience: "Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Goldstar Driving Academy under the expert guidance of Pav! After nine months of dedicated instruction, I can confidently say that Pav is the epitome of professionalism and expertise. His patient demeanor, clear instructions, and unwavering support made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to Pav's exceptional teaching skills, I not only learned how to drive but also passed my test with flying colors. Without a doubt, Pav is the best driving instructor in South Yorkshire, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to master the art of driving. Five stars all the way!"

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to gold star driving academy for helping me pass with 0 faults they have the best instructors who are very understanding towards you and make you feel confident in yourself.They have always been so calm and reassuring with me and are very committed towards their students.Always told me what i did well and gave me useful feedback to help me improve Not a waste of money ,top quality lessons provided,would highly recommend gold star driving academy!!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous to start driving however my instructor Pav was very patient and calm. His techniques on how to drive made it so much easier and simple to understand. He told me how I did after every lesson and what I could further improve. He gave me reassurance and confidence after many times when I said I couldn’t do something. Thanks to Pav I passed my driving test first time with 0 minors. I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. :))

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time with gold star driving academy. I was really nervous before my driving test but my instructor Ryla reassured me and made me think postive. Also, passed within 3 months. would highly recommend gold star driving academy to anyone who wants to pass their driving test first time.

Fantastic experience: I can't thank pav enough for learning me to drive automatic. Just got first pass with no faults and I can't express how much I appreciate him taking me on as my ADHD and aurtisum are a big challenge for me. he's got a lot of patience and even changed his method to help me understand more and pick up my driving. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: I was an absolute neverous wreck when thinking about driving. Started my lessons with Ryla in a manual and she was amazing at helping calm my nerves. After a few lessons i was struggling with a manual and Ryla suggested automatic maybe a better fit for me and i so started with Pav in automatic. Pav was absolutely fantastic and his understanding and techinques made things easy to understand and manageable. He identified what my weaknesses were and with tailor made lessons those weaknesses soon became my strengths. I never felt preassured or rushed and with his lessons i was able to pass first time. My world has just become so much bigger and now me and my family have endless adventures to go on. This would not have been possible for me without Gold Star Driving Academy. I will be for ever grateful to them. I can not recommend them enough 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Pav for automatic driving lessons, I’ve been having one a week since December, today is feb 14th and I’ve passed my test first time with only 2 minors! All thanks to Pav for helping me perfect my reversing manoeuvres which originally brought me alot of anxiety and now I can do with ease! Had a great experience and will be recommending to friends and family who are wanting to start driving soon. :)

Fantastic experience: Started my lessons with Ryla in September and I’m pleased to say I passed with only 1 minor. Ryla is by far the best Instructor I’ve been with she made me feel so welcome on my first lesson and it’s just been upwards from there. Ryla was patient with me and was always positive about my driving Thanks Ryla

Fantastic experience: I started my driving lessons in July with Ryla of Goldstar Driving Academy and was at first very nervous. Ryla immediately put me at ease and was very calm and patient, helping me overcome any anxieties about driving I had. She was able to work around my schedule and by October/November I was driving with more confidence and was able to book my driving test for December, which I passed first time with just one minor/driving fault. Even though I was incredibly nervous and shaky, doubting myself and thinking I might fail, Ryla reassured me and inspired me with confidence that she believed I was ready. Thanks to Ryla, I can now legally drive 6 months later, and I can’t recommend Gold Star Driving Academy enough. Thank you, Ryla!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Ryla for believing in me and pushing me to succeed, listening to me on my bad days and encouraging me to keep going. I can’t recommend her enough! From start to finish she has been professional yet down to earth, very informative and helpful, making it easy for you to learn the basics quickly, providing feedback every lesson to ensure you can improve and be a safe driver. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Yesterday I passed on my first driving test attempt all thanks to my lovely instructor, Ryla. I cant recommend her enough - she is extremely calm, helpful and patient. From day one she put me at ease. Thank you so much, Ryla!

Fantastic experience: I started lessons with Ryla as my instructor and honestly cannot recommend her enough. I first came to Ryla having no previous experience of driving. From the first lesson Ryla was patient and made me feel at ease and always reassured me when I was feeling nervous. Throughout, she always encouraged me and explained everything in depth so I fully understood. Her method of teaching is excellent and she has a genuine care for her students to succeed, as well as on the test day Ryla was so helpful in making me feel at ease and expressing her confidence in me and I was able to pass first time with only one minor. I couldn’t have done it without Ryla’s continuous support. If you are looking for an amazing instructor I would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Originally I was taking lessons else where, but I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. But when I moved to gold star I immediately noticed the professionalism and knowledge of my instructor Pav, who's teaching methods where more detailed and exactly what I needed to pass first time! I will recommend them to anyone in the future. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much Pav for being the best instructor. There are times where I thought I was unteachable but you were always so patient and tried to make the lesson easy and understandable. Thanks so much again for teaching me so good that I was able to pass my practical exam on my first attempt. Also for the tips you gave for my theory exam as I was able to pass on my first attempt. I would highly recommend you to anyone else. Thanks!!!

Fantastic experience: I passed first time using Gold Star driving and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much to Pav for teaching me and being so patient and supportive. I really recommend using them to learn!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Just passed using Goldstar Driving Academy and they’re great! Brilliant and friendly instructors. Patient with people including myself who was a really nervous driver and lacked confidence in myself but now thanks to Pav that is a thing of the past! Thank you again guys and I would recommend these to anyone! Thanks again Pav you’ve opened up a lot to me

Fantastic experience: It has been a 5-month journey of, learning to drive and I was the most nervous and anxious person I know, but when I started my driving lessons with Pav he immediately put me at ease with his professionalism, teaching methods and knowledge of driving, I would absolutely recommend him and goldstar driving academy 200,000%. Thanks for everything Pav. Safe Driving.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend!!… When I first started my driving lessons I began driving manual with Ryla as my instructor. Ryla is absolutely wonderful! Anyone who has Ryla as their instructor has a great teacher, she is such a calming and pleasant person to be around and has such lovely energy about her which shows through her teaching. I am someone who suffers from mental health illnesses, over time it became very difficult for me to grasp certain aspects of driving but Ryla was so patient, comforting and continuously encouraged me. In the end It was spoken about, decided and arranged that I may be better driving automatic so she set this up for me… I now move onto my second instructor Pav. What a legend! and an amazing teacher! From the moment I started, he made my lessons such an enjoyable and great experience with a good few laughs in between. He helped me so much with my confidence on the road. I felt relaxed and very well supported even when I were having bad days. I’m so thankful for his patience and understanding, he had always shown great faith and confidence in me, that I can do it even when I didn’t think I could. When I passed my test today, I had his voice in my head guiding me through it. If you have Pav as your instructor you are incredibly lucky and have the most incredible teacher! You will be looked after and he will help get you through this milestone. Pav, i am so great full to you for everything, you are an absolute blessing! Thank you for everything!!

Fantastic experience: can't recommend the gold star driving academy enough. . taz is an excellent and consistent instructor to strive to suceed.. I joined the gold star driving academy since march/April 2022- helped me through my theory at November 2022. helped me face my fears on roundabouts, test routes and complicated roads to help me suceed on passing my test, narrow roads/meeting points, signs and maneuvers.. Taz never once gave up on me when I didn't quite make it on my previous tests and carried on encouraging, supporting and helping me to get to pass my test today 04/09/2023.. I was so over moon when I passed and all that was to goldstar driving school/TAZ who got me there if anyone is looking for lessons and passing your test this is the company / instructor like Taz you need to succeed to be on the road indepently thankyou again for everything .. if anyone I know looking for lessons and to pass ill be pointing them to your direction. 5 stars keep doing what you do best Taz you're amazing at what you do, to help anyway you can with tips, videos and extremely flexible with lessons wouldn't of done it without you..

Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test today, all thanks to pav, a great instructor with alot of knowledge and if you looking for an instructor. I recommend gold star academy 110%

Fantastic experience: I want to thank ryla for helping me in getting me through my driving test. I began taking lessons in February,  and with Ryla's excellent skills in teaching, I was able to pass in 4 months. All of her classes were helpful and  instructive, and they all contributed to my success. She pushed me until I felt comfortable with what I was doing while being  clear in her explanations. I haven't had a lesson changed or  cancelled from Ryla in the last four months, which demonstrates how  dedicated Ryla is to her pupils. I lack the words to adequately express how encouraging Ryla was on the day of the test. Ryla was there to encourage me as I was experiencing so many different feelings. She expressed her confidence in me, my progress, and whatever outcome I had. She made me feel at ease and gave me confidence by discussing what to expect throughout my test. My recommendation for GoldStar Academy is a perfect 10 if you're seeking for an amazing tutor.

Fantastic experience: Had other instructors before, and passed first time with Pav, absolutely spot on bloke who gave me the confidence I needed.

Fantastic experience: Started with Pav from the beginning… such a comfortable, calm learning environment. Passed with 0 minors and couldn’t fault the teaching techniques as they were very flexible to the learner. Couldn’t recommend a better driving school Gold Star Academy.

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor! had pav since I first started my driving lessons could have not asked for anyone better would recommend 110%! Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend 110%. Pav did a amazing job teaching me the ins and outs of driving. Passed with a few of lessons. Thank you for your efforts.

Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Pav 2 months ago, he was the third instructor I had and by far the best one, he was very patient with me and very clear with he's instructions, if I could understand something he managed to break it down for so I could understand and he's managed to cure my fear if roundabouts, if you're thinking about starting lessons please ask for Pav, he'll get you your pass !

Fantastic experience: Where do I start, I come to Ryla being a emotional mess when it come to driving and now I passed my test first time with only 4 minors and I couldn’t have done it without her, she has always been so calm and reassuring with me and managed to get me to get in the car and gain the confidence I have now. She become the best emotional support I could have ever had and now I’m going to miss our Monday morning chats. I wouldn’t be anywhere without having her by my side. 100% the best driving instructor around and I couldn’t recommend anyone else that could it the way she does thank you so much ryla and gold star driving academy for helping me be where I am today

Fantastic experience: Totally recommend. Great experience with the instructor.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Pav. He was fantastic, really practical with showing me manoeuvres, lane discipline and safest ways of driving.

Definitely would recommend Goldstar.

Fantastic experience: I want to express my gratitude to ryla for helping me in passing my driving test with only 2 minors. I began taking lessons in May, and thanks to Rylas exceptional teaching, I passed in 5 months. All of her lessons were beneficial and helped me become one step closer. She was very clear in her explanations, and she pushed until I was confident in what I was doing. I haven't had a lesson changed or cancelled in the past five months, which shows how committed Ryla is to her students and helping them achieve their goals. On the day of the test I can't explain with words how supportive ryla was. With all the mixed emotions I was feeling ryla was there to support me. She told me she was proud of me and my my progress with whatever outcome I had. She explained to me what to expect throughout my test, which put me at ease and boosted my confidence. If you are looking for an Amazing instructor I will 10/10 recommend GoldStar Academy especially Ryla.
