Instructor bio
I worked at a school with kids with disabilities for 10 years and loved it.. however I decided to make a change when all my favourite students went to high school. There were many other changes happening and training as a driving instructor seemed like a natural progression. I became licenced in 2012.
Learners often comment that I am kind, patient and friendly. I try to use humour when I can, as it can relieve a tense situation and its good to learn to laugh at yourself. I am a firm believer in making mistakes as they are necessary to learn, as long as you learn from the mistake.
During my lessons I will provide reasons and explanations as to certain manoeuvres, why they are a good or bad decision. If I can provide you with a visual image of the problem, I will as this helps immensely. Generally speaking, once learners have a clear understanding, they rarely repeat the same mistakes.
I have been doing this now for a while now and most of the time I love it!
Reviews
Joanne is really easy going and calm. She made my son feel at ease with his driving even when he was just starting out. Really good teacher. Highly recommend.
Dylan
As an adult learning to drive a manual Joanne is heaven sent. I felt comfortable and 100% satisfied with what I've achieved thus far. Joanne's approach and style of teaching is memorable and instructions clear and simple. Thanks again Joanne.
Violet
She was amazing, she helps you enough with everything but you are still in control. She is friendly and a real world person. She got me my license in no time and I would highly recommend to anyone. She can answer any question and knows how to get you ready for the actual test. Best teacher I have had.
Luke
Really thankful that Joanne is still teaching! She taught me what I know and I’m so happy to have found her again for my brother. He also enjoyed the lesson with Joanne.

Learn in your car

- 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.
