Instructor bio

Hi, my name is Neil (Niru) and I've been driving for over 24 years in both Australia and Sri Lanka. I had my very first driving lesson at the age of 16 and even now remember the nerves of driving on Sri Lankan roads, focus on road rules and be a safe driver. A bit of my past life, I have an Application Support Engineering background while working with Monash Health, South Australian Health, and multinational organizations like HP and DXC Technologies. Being a Trainer, Mentor, IT Consultant, and Lecturer in IT gives me more experience in my life and love to follow my passion. With my experience comes extensive knowledge of the requirements to pass your driving test and also the skills required to remain safe on our roads. I have a strong focus on creating a positive learning environment, keeping calm, encouraging my learners and developing confidence. My approach is to equip both new and experienced drivers with the tools and knowledge required to drive safe & successfully for the rest of their lives, and not just learn how to pass the drive test. I also really enjoy helping people achieve their goals. Being a Dad to a teen daughter & young very energetic boys, my Wife and I love to help people who need assistance in their life to start their journey in any aspect. My additional qualifications include: Masters in Cyber Security (Currently Studying), Grad Certificate in Cyber Security, Bsc in Communication & IT, Certificate in Leadership & Training. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on this journey! Smart Drivers, Starts Here!

Reviews

Neil is an extremely kind and encouraging driving instructor which made it easy to gain confidence for driving on the roads. He was happy to answer any questions along the way and is very knowledgable about how the driving tests are conducted which was helpful in calming my nerves on the day of the test. Could not be happier with passing my test and also learning the important skills which will continue to assist my driving in the future.

Very helpful and friendly instructor, I was nervous to drive but he was a very relaxed and comfortable teacher which I felt benefited me alot. Gave very insightful tips for driving and I am very happy with my decision to drive with him. Would highly recommend!

Daniel

He was very calm. Observed my mistakes, and explained how to correct them, in a way that was easy to understand. Gave me helpful tips and things to keep in mind on the day of the driving test, and when driving in general.
