Based on his experience, qualifications and an ability to develop an excellent rapport with those he teaches, John is often portrayed by his delighted students as “driving instructor of the year”, especially since they usually pass their test on the first attempt. These very successful results are due to John’s background in mechanical engineering, along with his having gained his first qualification as a Civilian Driving Instructor with The Victorian Police in 1976 and also the fact that he currently holds high qualifications in training and assessment. This has enabled him, as well, to work in special areas of driver training, with Occupational Therapists, helping physically and mentally challenged students. This lifetime of involvement in driver training has allowed John to develop high level programs in all aspects of driving, some of his teaching methods including imagery of animals such as snakes, birds and monkeys, which are used in explanations of specific skills. Using visual pictures for these demonstrations not only makes the lessons easy to understand, but allows the learner to speak about these verbal pictures, impressing their friends and family with what they have learnt and showing how quickly they are developing their on road safe driving. New learners and nervous starters quickly warm to this extremely creative, highly acclaimed, intensely entertaining instructor and mentor, with his forty three years of experience. If you are able to book a place on his calendar, you can certainly expect the very best driver training available today.
I passed my driving test first time on 21 May 2019. I always found John to be very patient. He is a great instructor who really helped me become a good safe driver and always a great conversation. So now I can drive to work instead of getting Ubers every day thanks to John. I would recommend John to my friends or anyone wanting to learn to drive and they can expect the very best.

I would like to say John has been extremely patient, softly spoken and kind with me. He was very clear with all his instructions and teachings. His reverse parallel parking recipe is total perfection, He also kept me calm and kept my nerves under control all along, which really helped. I believe it was because of John ONLY that I have been able to pass the test. I cannot thank him enough and would definitely recommend him to all my friends and others who are looking for an excellent caring instructor

I thought I could do it but teaching a relative is not always the best idea. I managed to teach my son how to drive a car – but he was not a “ driver” To improve the skills and demeanour necessary to be a safe driver, he required a professional instructor with impeccable knowledge, dedication, patience, and humour. I chose well. John, is a highly experienced professional who has the principal goal of making our roads safer – with safer drivers. I could have asked for nothing more.

Being an accountant I’m very particular about details. I found John is very patient in teaching me driving skills. As a new learner, I think John provides great “driving formulas and visual images” that helps me in driving and parking. His reverse parallel parking recipe is perfection. John is caring and funny, which creates an enjoyable driving experience for me. The lesson timing and location is flexible which is favourable to a working person like me. I would certainly recommend John to my friends he is my “instructor of the year”
