Instructor bio
Hi, my name is Darren. I have been working in the industry for over 15 years. Not only am I a driving instructor, I am also an assessor for Transport for NSW. I am well versed in what the requirements are to pass your driving test and be a safe driver for life.
I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in driver training. I use clear and precise instructions to communicate effectively, ensuring learner drivers of all levels feel safe and comfortable in their lessons.
Each lesson is tailored to the specific needs of the student to maximise learning outcomes. I look forward to helping you achieve your goal.

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.
