Meet Your Instructor

Waqar Hussain

Waqar, founder and instructor at L Stars Driving School

Hi, I’m Waqar, founder of L Stars Driving School.

I created L Stars to deliver driving lessons with a clear purpose — patient, structured coaching that puts you at the centre of your learning.

My aim is to help you become a safe, confident and independent driver while making your learning journey calm, clear and enjoyable.

More about my approach

I adapt my coaching to how you learn best, helping you develop not only the skills to drive, but also the judgement and confidence to make safe decisions independently.

Every lesson is connected to your wider progress, so you understand what you are working towards, what is improving and what comes next.

Let’s get you driving with confidence.

Nervous learner → First-time pass
Waqar helped improve my driving confidence dramatically.

When I first started my driving lessons, I was an extremely nervous driver. Waqar noticed this immediately and adapted my lessons to suit how I learned best. He was endlessly patient and always remained calm, which really helped me build my confidence.

When I first started my driving lessons, I was an extremely nervous driver and this made me worry about finding an instructor who would suit me. Waqar noticed this immediately and adapted my lessons to suit how I learned best, which helped me learn in a way that felt comfortable and effective.

Waqar has endless patience. Even in stressful situations he always remained calm, which really helped me build my confidence with driving. He structured my lessons around me and gave me options about what I felt most comfortable working on in each lesson.

Waqar helped improve my driving confidence dramatically and I even passed my driving test first time with only five driver faults. He is an amazing instructor and I would recommend him to anybody.

Nervous learner → First-time pass
I went from feeling nervous to genuinely looking forward to every lesson.

What I really appreciated was how structured and thorough the lessons were. We regularly reviewed my progress so we both knew exactly what I needed to work on next. My confidence improved massively.

Read Macauley’s full experience

I started my lessons feeling very nervous, but within just a few weeks Waqar had completely put me at ease. He was always patient and reassuring and never once made me feel stupid or frustrated if I didn’t understand something.

What I really appreciated was how structured and thorough his lessons were. Before introducing anything new, he would make sure I fully understood what was expected, and we regularly reviewed my progress so we both knew what I needed to work on next.

Over time my confidence improved massively. I went from feeling nervous about driving to genuinely looking forward to every lesson and learning something new.

Waqar made sure I was fully test-ready weeks before my test, and I went on to pass first time with just one driver fault. He is not only a genuine person, but an excellent instructor who clearly cares about getting the best out of his pupils. Over the eight months I learned with him, it was clear how much thought and knowledge he put into improving the lessons and helping me progress.

If a friend was thinking about learning to drive with Waqar, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him. I genuinely owe him a huge amount of gratitude.

Saffron · Manchester
Anxious learner → First-time pass
I genuinely started to enjoy driving rather than being anxious about it.

I was a very anxious driver and honestly thought I would never be able to drive. Waqar’s lessons were structured, patient and gave every session a clear purpose. He taught me to think ahead, talk through situations and understand my own decisions instead of panicking.

Read Saffron’s full experience

When I first started learning to drive with Waqar, I was a very anxious driver and honestly thought I would never be able to drive. I had some previous experience with other instructors, but I never felt their teaching styles really suited me, which caused me to lose a lot of confidence in myself.

From my first lessons with Waqar, things felt different. He was extremely patient and friendly and always made me feel like I could do it, even when I doubted myself. One of the biggest things that helped me was his advice to speak out loud about what I was thinking and what I needed to do while driving. This helped massively with my decision-making, particularly with meeting situations, planning ahead and dealing with different situations on the road. It gave me a way to understand my own decisions instead of panicking, and over time it really built my confidence.

I also really liked how structured every lesson was. We would start with a recap of the previous lesson, talk about what I had done well and what I could improve, and then move on to something new. At the beginning of each lesson, Waqar would explain what our focus was going to be, which made me feel prepared and gave every lesson a clear purpose. I especially enjoyed the reflection at the end because we would discuss my strong points and what I could work on next time.

Waqar taught me much more than just how to control a car. He taught me to pre-plan, think ahead, talk through situations and, most importantly, believe in myself. My confidence and decision-making developed so much throughout my lessons, and I genuinely started to enjoy driving rather than feeling anxious about it.

Passing my test first time with only five driver faults is one of my greatest achievements. I honestly don’t think I would have believed I could do it when I first started. I even continued speaking out loud during my driving test, which helped me stay focused, calm and confident under pressure. It was a skill that helped me throughout my lessons and proved incredibly valuable on test day.

I’m so grateful to Waqar for being patient, encouraging and supportive throughout the whole process. If a friend was thinking about learning to drive with him, I would 100% recommend him. He is an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about his learners and will help you build not only your driving skills, but your confidence too. I genuinely enjoyed every lesson and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Why Choose L Stars?

Because every learner is different, and your lessons should be too.

At L Stars, you’ll get expert coaching shaped around how you learn, a real say in your own progress, and the confidence to make safe decisions independently — long after test day.

Our Approach

Learning to drive should never feel like a random collection of lessons.

Every lesson follows a simple structure: plan what you’re working on, practise it, reflect on your progress and decide what comes next.

Why this matters

Your lessons are connected rather than a random collection of drives, so you understand what you’re working towards, what is improving and what comes next.

Why Automatic?

A simpler way to focus on learning to drive.

With no clutch or manual gear changes to manage, automatic tuition lets you concentrate more of your attention on the road, your surroundings and your decision-making.

No clutch or gear changes

Less to coordinate while you’re learning.

More focus on the road

Put more attention into observations, planning and decision-making.

Build confidence

A simpler driving environment can help some learners feel more comfortable behind the wheel.

Ideal for modern driving

Automatic cars are an increasingly common choice, particularly as hybrid and electric vehicles become more widespread.

ℹ️ Automatic Licence Information

Passing your practical driving test in an automatic vehicle gives you an automatic-only driving licence.

You can drive automatic vehicles, but if you later want to drive a manual car you will need to pass a practical driving test in a manual vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few useful things to know before you start.

Tap any question to reveal the answer.

Do you only teach automatic?
Yes. L Stars specialises in automatic driving lessons.
Can complete beginners book with L Stars?
Absolutely. Lessons are adapted to your current experience, whether you are getting behind the wheel for the first time, have already had some lessons, or are returning to driving after a break.
How long are lessons?
You can book a 1-hour lesson or a 90-minute lesson. The 90-minute lesson is the most popular option because it gives us more time for purposeful practice, reflection and progress within one session.
What happens on my first lesson?
We will start by talking about your previous experience, confidence and goals. We will then agree a suitable lesson focus and level of support so your first session feels calm, clear and manageable.
What areas do you cover?
L Stars currently provides automatic driving lessons across Oldham, Ashton, Chadderton, Failsworth, Moston, Middleton and Blackley. If you are close to these areas and are unsure whether your address is covered, message us on WhatsApp and we can confirm before you book.
How do I know when I’m ready for my driving test?

Test readiness is based on being able to drive safely and consistently with a good level of independence, rather than simply completing a certain number of lesson hours. We’ll review your progress together and use focused practice and mock-test style driving to identify when you are approaching a suitable test standard.

How do I pay for my lessons?
All lessons and block bookings are paid in full in advance by bank transfer. Once we have agreed an available date and time, I’ll send you the bank details. Your lesson is confirmed and added to the diary once payment has been received and L Stars has sent you confirmation.
