Instructor bio
My name is Gerard, I have been a driving instructor since 2004. Prior to this I was in the Australian Army for over 21 years. I held a number of roles within the Army, with many of them relating to training, instruction and the supervision of others.
Training others has always come pretty naturally to me. I am a level 2 sports coach, having experience in AFL, cycling and swimming.
My passion for my work is derived from my passion to help people to be the very best they can be, whether it be sporting or day to day tasks. I enjoy seeing others succeed, nothing is more enjoyable than the jubilation on an individuals face when they are successful, whether that be passing a driving test or winning a race.
I also will confess, I do enjoy the relaxed lifestyle driver training allows me to enjoy. As I am an independent operator, I have the flexibility to choose when I work. This allows me to have a greater work-life balance and spend time doing the things that I love.
Reviews
Gerard has been my kids driving instructor over many years. With 4 kids who have been with Gerard, he has been instrumental in them all passing their driving test. I have already told him I have 3 more kids who will be driving with him.
5 stars for Gerard.

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.
