Marta

Hi, I'm Marta and I am a well-experienced driving instructor with many years of experience driving in Australia and Europe. Having experienced, firsthand, the negligence of other drivers' unsafe driving, I decided to become a driver instructor. Due to my experience I also decided to work with NDIS program allowing me to help others to feel more comfortable to drive. I am a Safer Drivers Course Coach and Facilitator and also teach the teachers. I am calm and positive towards my students, always aiming to make sure that I project to them safe driving behaviours.

I am trained by Rehab On Road for Driver Assessment and Rehabilitation in the following areas:

Physical, vision and cognitive defects and implications for driving, mental illness, anxiety and ageing and implications for driving; vehicle modifications for disabilities; on-road assessment, teaching methods and remediation for specific modifications, disabilities and medical conditions; vehicle ergonomics, licensing policies and procedures; medico-legal and ethical issues.

Quotes

Learning to drive with Marta Pedroso from Onroad was the best choice I could have made! Marta is incredible at what she does, and it really shows. Not only was I able to practice driving at different times of day with varying levels of traffic and weather conditions (e.g., school hours, rush hour, night driving, country roads, flooding roads in thunderstorms!) but Marta also did several practice tests with me to completely simulate test conditions. She gave me fantastic, tailored feedback (e.g., reliable markers to guide me with spacing + positioning the wheel), was incredibly patient with me (even when I was frustrated with / hard on myself!), and allowed for extra practice on manoeuvres that I found particularly challenging. When it came time for the test, not only did she ensure that I was confident with the intricacies of the car I'd be driving, but she also made time for working through any nerves/anxiety before, dealing with any disappointment afterwards, and was overall an incredibly kind and empathetic support system to have. After our last lesson, Marta also gave me excellent advice about how to go about purchasing a car (pricing, models, brands, maintenance). It truly made all the difference, learning to drive with someone as experienced as Marta - she is an amazing instructor and friend! <3
