Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Rosie
The instructor behind Coffs Coast Driving Academy.
Before becoming a driving instructor, I worked as a Police Officer where road safety, awareness, and staying calm under pressure were essential every day. That experience now shapes how I teach people to drive.
I know learning to drive can feel overwhelming — for both learners and parents. That’s why my lessons are structured, supportive, and focused on building real confidence behind the wheel.
As a trained Yoga & Breathwork instructor, I also incorporate simple techniques that help nervous drivers stay calm and focused during lessons.
My goal is simple: help people become safe, capable, and confident drivers for life.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a nervous driver — can you help me feel comfortable behind the wheel?
Absolutely. I focus on anxiety management. I use patient instruction and techniques like my specialised breathwork to help you stay centered, calm, and focused from your first driving lesson.
Does the instruction suit all learning styles?
Yes. With my experience in varied learning styles and neurodiversity, each driving lesson is built entirely around the student's needs, ensuring skills are built efficiently and without pressure.
What makes you a Coffs Coast expert?
I was born and raised here, so I know the Coffs Coast roads extremely well.
I also spent time working locally as a police officer with the NSW Police Force, which gave me real insight into road safety, traffic patterns, and the common hazards drivers face in this area.
In our lessons, I focus on managing local traffic conditions, busy school zones, holiday traffic, and the variety of road environments you’ll encounter across the Coffs Coast.
