Matthew

Hi, I'm Matthew and I constantly work at improving my teaching methods and utilising a variety of training aids to illustrate the driving methods & skills required. With my vast experience in management & customer service positions, I have all the inter-personal skills to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable experience whilst being a learner driver. I am also a Member of NSW Driver Trainers Association and a Facilitator in the Curtin /Western Sydney University Autism Spectrum Disorder Driving Project 

I have been involved in sporting activities since my childhood and I have coached rugby league, cricket (both senior & junior up to representative district level) & still help my youngest daughter when required by coaching netball. Hence, with my coaching experience, I have a special ability to relate to the younger drivers, ensuring the best possible outcome during their learning experience. 

I have a compact SUV – Auto, to help children of today to learn in a similar sized car to what their parents may be driving.

At the start I am an instructor / teacher imparting basic driving skills. At the second stage I become a coach to help you improve & better your driving skills & finally as the test day approaches I become your mentor, to guide your through the methods of best practice in your driving, ensuring a much better, safer & confident driver.

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.
