What do you love about your being a driver trainer?
"I really enjoy being a Driver Trainer because I get to meet many people and pass along my 32 years of experience. It’s a great feeling when someone passes the licence test but I feel far more satisfaction knowing they will be a safe and defensive driver far into the future."
Patrick has extensive experience working with nervous learners and those with high anxiety.
Patrick is available Sundays which is perfect for new drivers or those a little anxious due to the quieter roads
Patrick is happy to drop-off at Sommerville House or St Laurence's College at the end of a lesson, but is unable to start a lesson from these schools.Outside of training...
Patrick is interested in cars and motorbikes, computers and games, occasionally a fishing trip and travel.
My daughter logged over 100 hours in her Mazda 2 but failed the initial driving test. Patrick at Coastwide had a newer Mazda 2 and was kind enough to teach a bit further south. The 3 lessons and test package was ideal and Patrick the ideal instructor. He smoothed out the rough edges and my daughter passed. I noticed at Coastwide there is a team effort. Joshua has an excellent telephone manner and Glen also turned up on test day for good luck. I would highly recommend instead of using your own car to book the 3 lesson/test package from Coastwide. Your chances of passing the first time will be better.
