Hello there, I’m Lee!
I am of Māori descent from New Zealand and have been living in Canberra for just over two years.
Throughout my career, I’ve remained focused on a single passion: supporting others.
Having worked across the mental health and addictions sector with both adults and youth, I’ve seen first-hand how vital guidance and empathy are when navigating life’s challenges.
Working with young people is especially close to my heart. I believe that by helping them develop self-awareness and confidence today, we are building a better future.
I carry this mission into my driver education, where I teach more than just how to operate a vehicle.
My goal is to empower responsible, aware drivers who can recognise and manage their habits on the road. With road incidents on the rise, I am committed to making a tangible impact—sharing my experience to create a safer environment for everyone.

Hello there, I’m Harry!
I’ve always been passionate about coaching and helping others reach their milestones.
My inspiration comes from seeing my students gain their independence; there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student’s confidence grow from their very first lesson to the day they get their license.
There is nothing I love more than seeing a student transform from a nervous learner into a calm, capable driver who is genuinely proud of how far they’ve come.
Your Journey, Your Pace;
Learning to drive is a huge milestone, and I truly believe it should be an exciting, positive experience. My priority is to create a warm and inclusive environment where you can feel completely yourself.
Whether you’re a total beginner or just need a little extra support, my car is a judgment-free zone where every question is a good one and every mistake is just a step toward getting it right.
Looking forward to seeing you all!!

Chris is a semi-retired leadership and professional development coach with broad life experience.
As a father, grandfather and long-time Rotarian, Chris has been involved with many youth development projects.
He is focused on helping people develop safe driving habits as a critical life skill.
When Chris learnt to drive as a boy on the farm, he wasn’t allowed out of first gear until he could reverse a trailer up the 1.2 km winding dirt track to the potato patch.
With this achieved, he was soon into second gear and on his way.
Chris bought his first car when he was 12 years old, and since then has owned many cars and put a few million kilometres of driving experience under his belt.
