Female instructors

Individuals can choose the gender of the instructor they feel comfortable to learn within our coverage of Melbourne suburbs. This could be for a personal, religious or even a different reason; we can help you in that too.

Bilingual instructors

In addition to our native English speaking instructors, we have bilingual tutors passed through the same Australian standard trainings and accreditation criteria to become fully qualified professional driving instructors who can put extra efforts!

How we assign instructor to you?

Your assigned instructor will be matched considering your specific requirements, like if you requested for a female driving instructor or a bilingual instructor who speaks a second language of your choice (For example: Australian standard native English speaker, Italian, Spanish, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Greek, and more ). We also consider your local trainer who lives at the same suburb as you or a nearby suburb to minimise travel time as well as any VicRoads.

Our training cars and insurance

All of our training cars are small and medium in size, fitted with an additional break, accelerator & clutch (on manual cars) pedals on the front passenger side for the instructor to be able to control the car as necessary to ensure safe lesson environment. This also makes it possible to avoid any physical contact with the student during the lesson course. All of our training cars are new/ near new/ a few years old, in roadworthy condition, also have comprehensive insurance with renowned Melbourne insurance company like RACV, AAMI and others for your peace of mind.

Lesson using your car, yes or no!

Since there is no dual control pedal fitted in your car, due to the safety reason, we require you to take all your training in our instructors dual control pedal fitted car. You might have a lot of driving experience and your car is insured however if you are considering lessons it means you still have things to learn/ workout. While listening and learning, our school policy is that you must use the dual control car provided by us along with the instructor in that car for the first lesson. However, in exceptional circumstances, after the first lesson, you can discuss about using your own automatic car for the lesson during daylight excluding freeway or inside cbd($75 per hour) directly with your instructor.

Please note: The law doesn’t allow any instructor to go in your car (without dual control pedal) during the VicRoads drive test. VicRoads may not accept your own car if there is any issues like speedometer not visible from the front passenger seat, handbrake is under the foot, button handbrake, car not in roadworthy condition, etc. for solo test on the day! Consider using your instructor’s car in this case with warm-up lesson just before the test on the same day to get used to with instructor’s car and then use the same car for the actual test.
