Instructor profile
Professional driving instruction with a personal approach
Since 2018, I have been helping learner drivers across Melbourne’s northern suburbs and Tasmania build the confidence, knowledge and practical skills needed to become safe, responsible and independent drivers. My teaching approach is patient, supportive and tailored to each learner’s individual needs, whether they are a complete beginner, a nervous driver, an overseas licence holder or preparing for their VicRoads Drive Test.
I specialise in automatic driving lessons, refresher driving lessons, overseas licence conversion training, Drive Test preparation and driving lessons for eligible NDIS participants. I am also proud to have been one of the first driving instructors in Tasmania to provide lessons using an electric vehicle (EV), helping learners gain experience with modern driving technology.
Alongside my practical driving instruction experience, I am committed to continuous professional development. I hold postgraduate qualifications in Information Technology and have completed nationally recognised vocational qualifications, including the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE). This enables me to deliver structured, learner-focused training using proven adult-learning principles.
My commitment to ongoing education allows me to provide high-quality, professional instruction while staying up to date with modern teaching methods and industry best practices.
My goal is not only to help you pass your driving test, but to equip you with the skills, confidence and road-safety awareness needed for a lifetime of safe driving.
Education and professional development
Strong academic and training foundations
Alongside my practical driving-instruction experience, I have undertaken extensive study across information technology, training, leadership, community services and related professional fields.
I hold postgraduate qualifications in Information Technology and have completed nationally recognised vocational qualifications, including the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE).
These qualifications support a structured, learner-focused teaching approach based on adult-learning principles, clear communication, practical demonstration, repetition, feedback and continuous improvement.
Teaching philosophy
Learning to drive should feel structured, safe and achievable
The goal is not only to prepare for a test. It is to build the judgement, awareness and confidence needed for safe independent driving.
Clear Direction
Instructions are given early, clearly and at a manageable pace.
Useful Repetition
Difficult skills can be repeated until the learner feels more confident.
Observation First
Lessons emphasise scanning, mirrors, blind spots and hazard awareness.
Individual Goals
Training focuses on each learner’s real needs and progress.
Honest Feedback
Learners receive practical guidance about strengths and improvement areas.
What to expect

A message from Shreehari
My goal is to help you become a safe driver for life
Learning to drive is one of life’s most important skills. My goal is not only to help you pass your VicRoads Drive Test, but also to help you become a safe, confident and responsible driver for life.
Every learner is different. Some are complete beginners, some feel nervous behind the wheel, and others are experienced overseas drivers adapting to Victorian road rules. I tailor every lesson to the individual learner and help each person progress at a pace that is safe and achievable.
I look forward to helping you develop the confidence, road awareness and practical skills needed to achieve your driving goals.
Support for nervous drivers
Calm instruction without unnecessary pressure
Nervous drivers may need more time, repetition and reassurance. Lessons can begin in quieter environments and progress only when the learner is ready.
The instructor focuses on practical confidence building rather than rushing the learner into complex traffic too early.
