Tom Starr
Driving Instructor - Harrogate & Knaresborough
Hi, I'm Tom Starr, and I believe learning to drive should be fun, relaxed, and, most importantly, a safe activity.
I have experience teaching some very anxious drivers. However, after the first couple of lessons, their anxiety around driving disappeared completely. I have lived in Harrogate/Knaresborough my entire life, so I know the area extremely well. This makes finding practice areas much easier.
As an ex-biker, you have to be on alert at all times, seeing hazards before they develop, being able to judge what another road user is about to do etc and I pass those skills down to my learners, making them much safer drivers.
I am looking forward to teaching you.

I found Tom through recommendations on facebook. From the first lesson he made me feel relaxed and safe always making me laugh. I really recommend Tom if you're wanting to learn to drive. I passed my driving test first time 🙂 with only 3 faults. Thank you for everything Tom I will miss our weekly gossip.
I highly recommend Tom Starr, excellent tuition. Tom was a fabulous instructor, from day one he helped me to feel calm and relaxed about learning to drive.

I'd just say that i highly recommended Tom Starr, he is friendly, easy to get along with, approachable, a very good driving instructor who explains things well! I passed first time with zero faults 🙂 Thank you Tom.
Tom struck the perfect balance of being incredibly patient and professional but also created a relaxed and engaging environment for me to learn in. He explained things clearly and provided feedback that helped me develop driving skills quickly. Tom stayed calm at all times which increased my confidence and provided me with tips on how to plan ahead to make journeys as safe, relaxed and comfortable as possible. I passed first time in Knaresborough. I still can't believe that I finally have a driving license and that is down to the teaching and support Tom provided.
