Meet Your Driving Instructor
When you're learning to drive, the person sitting beside you matters.
Nick Schamber brings a lifetime of teaching, coaching, and mentorship to every lesson at North Star Driving Academy. A retired vice principal with 27 years of experience in education and coaching, Nick has spent his career helping students learn, grow, overcome challenges, and build confidence.
His educational background also includes four years as a Special Education Administrator at Mountain Home Junior High, giving him valuable experience working with different learning styles, abilities, and individual needs.
Now in his eighth year as a certified driving instructor, Nick brings that same patient, encouraging approach into the driver's seat. His goal isn't simply to help students complete driver's education. It's to help them understand what they're doing, become comfortable making decisions on the road, and develop safe driving habits they can carry with them for life.
