Vicroads Test Preparation
I am fully authorised to train for manual or automatic vehicles and to accompany you on your Vicroads drive test.
​
You’ll learn step by step exactly what a Vicroads Assessment Officer is looking for, including the skills, behaviours, and expectations at each stage of the test. This approach ensures you are fully prepared and confident when the day of your test arrives.
​
If you’ve booked, or are planning to book, your drive test, please email me to confirm availability.
Faster Progress, More Confidence
Many students progress faster than with traditional lessons. Packages aren’t required because learners often gain confidence quickly and enjoy the process of learning to drive.
​
At every stage, you’ll learn how to overcome the specific challenges that have been holding you back, so driving becomes easier and far less stressful than you expected.
​
Many learners are surprised at how manageable and enjoyable driving can feel. If after your first lesson you don’t feel more at ease, you’ll receive a full refund — no questions asked.
​Safe, Calm, and Supportive Learning
We understand that our roads can sometimes feel dangerous or daunting. That’s why we focus on making driving a calm, safe, and reassuring experience.
​
Lessons are conducted in a controlled, patient, and supportive environment, so you can build confidence without feeling rushed or pressured.
Â
Whether you need clear structure, extra time, or a sensory-friendly approach, every lesson is tailored to how you learn best.
I’m Lenny, a highly experienced instructor specialising in neurodiversity-focused driver training
fully personalised lessons to help you overcome every challenge with confidence.
I understand that everyone learns differently, and I know how to help you overcome the challenges that can make driving feel stressful or overwhelming.
Â
I teach anxious and neurodiverse drivers how to confidently enjoy driving - much earlier than expected.
I will provide you with the skills and understanding required through precise and simple instructions to drive with ease again.
Â
If you're outside my service area and you'd like to overcome the driving anxiety or are having difficulty getting back on the road  due to any reason or episode, email me to arrange a convenient starting place and commence the journey to your independence.​
I had an incredible experience learning to drive with Lenny, and when I passed my test on first try I was actually a touch sad that we would no longer have weekly lessons. Lenny is perceptive, and has great attention to detail. He strikes a great balance between making you feel comfortable and giving you the instruction and specific feedback you need to develop. I'm in deep admiration of Lenny's conscientious nature and capacity to be present. I myself train people in my profession and found myself inspired by Lenny's teaching style. Learning to do anything can be an absolute pleasure when you have a clear-eyed and dynamic teacher, and that was how it was with Lenny. Thanks a lot Lenny!

I passed my licence test on the first try after just 10 lessons with Lenny, something I never thought I'd be able to say. I'm an older learner, and had previously tried learning to drive several times with different instructors, friends, and family members, but I never felt confident or proficient behind the wheel. Lenny's approach was completely different. He is patient, calm, and exceptionally skilled at working with anxious and neurodivergent learners. He created an environment where I felt safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and build confidence at my own pace. For the first time, driving felt manageable instead of overwhelming. If you've struggled with driving anxiety or haven't had success with other instructors, I can't recommend Lenny highly enough.

Two decades, countless tears, a number of different instructors and a literal move across the world before I found Lenny. I had pretty much given up all hope of driving but decided to give it one last go, and Lenny has been absolutely amazing! He put up with my stubbornness, my moods, my insistent chatter, and got me from a shaky first lesson to passing my test in a little over 6 months! From day one he created a calm and peaceful atmosphere where I felt comfortable to go at my own pace, and trusted him completely when he encouraged me to take the next steps. Thank you Lenny for sticking with me!
