Our Story: Local Instructors, Real Impact

 

Ark Driving School was founded by Nadar, an experienced and passionate DVSA-approved instructor, with a clear goal: to create a student-first driving school that offers more than just a route to passing a test. Recognising a need in the community for driving tuition that builds real-world skills and lifelong confidence, he set out to build something better and more personal.


Soon after, his son Akib joined the team as a qualified ADI, bringing a fresh, relatable approach that puts young and first-time drivers at ease. Together, they’ve built a school known not only for high pass rates but for the calm, supportive environment they create behind the wheel.


From modest beginnings, Ark Driving School has grown into a respected local name, backed by 5-star reviews, word-of-mouth referrals, and the kind of trust that only comes from delivering consistent results.

Our Mission

 

We hope to provide individuals with the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to become safe, responsible drivers for life. We are committed to delivering high-quality, personalised instruction that prioritises safety, patience, and professionalism.


With deep knowledge of local testing standards and routes used during practical tests, Ark Driving School helps learners build familiarity with real driving environments across Newcastle.

"My son had previously had 2 driving instructors prior to Ark. Since changing over to Ark his confidence grew massively and his driving improved immensely. Charlie felt so much better with Nad. Within a few lessons he learned so much and was able to pass his test easily with only 2 minors"
