Instructor bio
Hi, my name is Nico. My most recent career was a flying instructor at the Bankstown Airport. I held this role for 5 years and believe that the skills required position me perfectly for being a driving instructor, just a different type of vehicle!
I believe that it is important to learn step by step at a pace which suits you. I do my best to customise our driving lessons to focus on the skills and techniques that you find most challenging and overcome these difficulties with clear, simple instructions. I find the whole process of teaching someone to drive very rewarding, especially when I show learners how easy it really is.
As a road user I am a supporter and passionate about road safety and want to pass on those skills to others. It is really rewarding being able to provide a service to the community that affects the whole of the community. I get great satisfaction knowing the positive influence I have on people's lives and providing them with an important life skill such as learning to drive.
Together, we will build your confidence and provide you with the skills required to obtain your driver's licence successfully.
Reviews
Such a neat car to learn in, all the tech us millennials love. As an instructor Nico has such detailed notes and followed up the lessons every time with some emailed links to reinforce what he’d taught me that lesson. My mate recommended him and now I tell others to only use him.
Jose
Very thorough instructor who was always very patient with me. I have recommended my friends to use Nico.
Nancy
Awesome instructional methods with plenty of notes, pictures and he also has a great little powerpoint presentation that he runs through his car infotainment system which is a point of difference and it helped me!
Danny
Fantastic learning environment. Nico creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere in the car which put you at easy and ready to learn. He is very focused on the learners needs and has immense patience.
Ally
Great clear and precise instructional techniques with a very discipled approach to safety which must come from his flying background.

Learn in your car
Learning in your own car can be a good idea if:
- You are a confident learner driver about to take a driving test
- You are on a provisional or unrestricted licence
- You have a new car to familiarise yourself with
Learning in your own car is not suitable for inexperienced or new learner drivers.
Our instructors are happy to offer lessons in your car if it is registered, roadworthy, comprehensively insured & clean. Our instructors reserve the right to refuse instruction in your car if they believe your driving skills or vehicle condition are a safety risk. The instructor may wish to conduct one or more lessons in their own vehicle prior.
To learn in your own car, simply add a lesson note upon booking.
