Teaching Safe driving skills is our priority.

Teaching Safe driving skills is our priority.
Dear Trina,
Thank you so much for your help and endless support in getting my licence.
With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement.
As well as having a very professional attitude, you are also a very caring person and I will miss all the laughs we shared.
I will recommend you to anyone who is interested in learning to drive. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you and I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me!
All the best for the future,
Danie
Hi Trina,
On behalf of Chad: “Trina is extremely thorough and pays extensive attention to detail in every aspect of driving. I found Trina the most knowledgeable person about every road rule and situation in every possible scenario one could ever face on the road. Trina takes the time to ensure that I understood everything she says and often allowed me to tailor her teaching style in accordance to being too fast or slow. Above all Trina did not just teach me how to pass the test, but how to be a safe, reliable, cautious and hazard free driver. I genuinely felt Trina cared about the wellbeing of my road safety beyond the test. Trina should be credited for her substantial effort she puts into her students, even checking up and calling me before the test to ensure I was confident, furthermore showing her genuine care for students. I have no doubt in my mind Trina played a major role in me scoring 100% (102/100 with two bonus marks) and is the reason I am on my Ps and am a safe driver today. I would highly recommend Trina to anyone on their L’s who wants to become a Hazard free driver to not only pass the test but into later life. Thank you Trina I was very fortunate to have you as my instructor!

Hello Trina,
Hi Trina,
Well it’s taken me a while but here it is!!
When my boss said I needed to get my license for work I must admit I was a little apprehensive and I had no idea where to look for a driving teacher. So I started with a man who knew my area well thinking that it would be an advantage. He told me that to learn to drive properly, even though I had had my license as a young adult, would take at least 30 lessons. I accepted that he must have known what he was talking about so I went with the idea. It wasn’t until lesson 17 or so that I realised he was taking me for a ride (excuse the pun) and was in fact making me more nervous with his aggressive attitude. It wasn’t until I ‘let him go’ and found Trina that I realised how bad a teacher he really was. Trina was organised and had a lesson plan based on the actual skills in the driving test. She was kind but firm and never made me feel like I was stupid if I asked a question we had already covered. Her use of repetition in her teaching was an invaluable way to reinforce the rules of the road for life, rather than just for the test. Her aim was to make me the best driver I could be rather than someone who managed to pass the test then turn into a sloppy driver. I highly recommend Trina as a driving teacher for anybody at any age or level. I passed my test first time with a score of 95%.
Feel free to make it shorter or whatever.
Cheers Trina

Dear Trina,
Thank you so much for teaching me literally how to drive from scratch and helped me to pass my driving test on the first go.
I appreciate the high standards you set in the road mock test we conducted, it was extremely helpful to build up my confidence, I wouldn’t succeed without that.
I recommend you to everyone I know who would like to learn drive in a systematic and quality way and wish to pass the test and drive safe of their life.
I waited while there is a period that you are not available and it is definitely worth waiting and I appeal to those who is seeking a perfect driving instructor to come to try P-School and you will not regret!
Thank you Trina again.
Best Regards!
I am so happy that learned driving with Trina. She is a patient instructor and have a lot of experience. I passed my exam in the first time, and got 99.
Apart from driving exam, I found her tips very useful after passing driving test, when I am driving on my own. I believe that all of the time I practiced my with her, was the time I invested in my safety.
Dear Trina,
Thank you for helping me pass the exam today. I really appreciate it. Here is a review
After many other instructors and failed exams, I finally passed with Trina at Five dock. There was a lot riding on passing the exam because I was going to go overseas soon for the next 6months. If I failed, it meant that I had to pay for lessons again once I come back!
Trina was very attentive. She paid attention to every mistake I made, and did some practice test before the exam. She also taught me how to be confident in front the examiner. Because of her strictness, I wasn’t nervous during the exam. I was able to be myself and drive naturally as if the examiner was a passenger.
However more importantly, she taught me how to be a safe driver overall, not just inside the exam.
I appreciate Trina’s lessons very much and would recommend her!
Kind Regards,
Annie
Thank you very much for helping me through my journey of learning how to drive, from knowing nothing about driving to obtaining 97% in my test at French Forest on my first attempt. I was very nervous about driving at first, however, your planned and structured lessons were all so informative and useful. Not only does it help to pass my driving test, you emphasise on the importance of safety driving, which is a major aspect of everyday driving. Your were always on time and patient throughout the driving lessons. As I am getting closer to my driving test, you brought my around my test area to have mock tests.
This is very useful in helping my pass my test without nerves.
I surely recommend Trina without hesitation. She is extremely helpful and understanding.
Many thanks Trina and wish you all the best.
Kind regards,
Jacqueline
Hi Trina,
Thanks for everything. My family, boyfriend and colleagues were all so pleased for me. 🙂
Here is some Feedback:
I discovered P Skool thanks to the Living Social website in late 2013. After an introductory lesson with Trina I was so impressed with her patience, professionalism and teaching methods that I decided to book a package.
Trina is great at breaking down all of the aspects relating to driving into easy to follow lessons. She is also a wonderful advocate for safe driving. If it weren’t for her, I would not have my licence today.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Thanks,
Nat
Hi Trina
Thank you again for all your help with teaching me to drive. Here’s a testimony for your website:
When I first went to Trina I had no confidence that I would ever be able to drive. I’d had some very negative experiences trying to learn when I was younger and I was scared of being behind the wheel and of traffic. Trina had a lot of patience and knew how to get me passed these psychological hurdles. Over time she taught me not only how to pass the test but how to drive safely and master all of the tricky parts of driving a manual car that had caused me problems in the past. I got my license on my first attempt and got through the test with no hassles. I’d recommend Trina without hesitation. Her rates are great and she’s an excellent teacher. Thank you Trina!
All the best for the future Trina. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
Best regards,
Stephen
Dear Trina
Just a short note to say a huge thank you for your wonderful teaching. I made the decision to invest in a professional driving instructor because, having just turned 30, I thought it was time to finally learn to drive and wanted to do it “properly”. I was referred by a friend who had also recently gained her driving licence at age 34. I was extremely nervous at first but your incredible patience, and confidence that I could do it, got me through those first few hours. From there each week we would cover different topics, and you treated every mistake as an opportunity to teach me another aspect of driving. You were always encouraging too, making me more confident in my own skills while explaining where I was going wrong and how to do it better next time. As I moved closer to the driving test you took me on all the test routes, doing mock tests to make sure that I was ready. And I passed first time!

Trina is an excellent driving instructor. She will assess your skills on the first lesson and then guide you through the learning process logically and efficiently. She is pleasant, her instructions are clear, and you always feel you are in safe hands.
Since I obtained my driving licence in Europe, it was a bit challenging to drive on the left with almost everything the same but still a few different rules. Trina, however, made this transition for me as smooth and as fast as possible. From being terrified of Sydney traffic, I now use my car to go everywhere! I would highly recommend Trina’s driving school, whether to learn driving from scratch or simply to brush-up your driving skills.
Hi Trina,
I have gone through a few instructors of which I was not happy with. I did not find myself looking forward to going to lessons with these previous instructors I had before Trina. I started searching online and found P-School, it had very good student reviews that convinced me to contact Trina and book my first lesson with her. From my first lesson to last I have had the most relaxed and calm driving and always looked forward to lessons with Trina. She taught me that well that I have become confident and a safe driver and passed my test on the first go! I cannot recommend P-School highly enough to people who are looking for a very patient, kind, friendly, and high quality way of teaching.
Thanks again Trina!

Dear Trina
Thank you so much for helping me pass my P’s test on the first go.
I wouldn’t have been able to pass the test without your lessons.
Before your lessons I was very worried about the test however you taught me everything that I needed to pass the test. You taught me exactly what the testing officers were looking for and the correct procedure for all the manoeuvres.
The mock test where we drove on the test routes was extremely helpful especially because I actually went on the routes during the test.
Your teaching is very professional and I will definitely recommend you to anyone learning to drive and going for their test.
Thank you
Regards,
Miki
As a 32 year old with no licence I decided I wanted to get my licence before I turned 33 in December. I found Trina on-line and off we went. Trina was fantastic, not only do you learn to drive but you learn the reasons why you are practising the manoeuvres you are performing in the car. Trina was so helpful and made my learning a pleasure. She is patient and kind and the day I went for the test I knew I was ready. We had done many practice runs of the route in Marrickville with Trina letting me know I was ready to go for the test.
I passed first go in November 2013, and I completely put this down to Trina’s ability to judge when you are ready. She runs a fantastic business and is 120% reliable and professional. We had some great laughs on the way too, and as someone who helped me achieve a milestone in my life even if it was 15 years late, I could think of no one better to go through that milestone with.
I would recommend P -School and Trina to anyone I know.
Trina is an awesome instructor! I previously was learning driving from another instructor and a friend of mine, but Trish was fantastic compared to my other experiences. She really helped put concepts into practice and corrected all these little driving practices that may cause me a fail.
Trina was very patient with me and I got the license in one go after only 10 hours of practice with her!
I really appreciate that Trina has been my instructor. I had tried other two driving school before meeting Trina. With no doubt that P-SCHOOL was the best. When the first time I met Trina, she knew exactly what I needed and what I should be learning at the first place. I have been learning driving with her all the way, and she has taught me all the useful skills, including using a GPS. I had been struggling with things like reverse parking, and I was so nervous and panic before the driving test; but thanks to Trina, she helped me go through all these reefs and more importantly, she let me know the importance of being a safe driver. Also Trina is a very talkative person, it is always fun having lessons with her. Now I have got my P plate, and become one of these responsible and safe road users. I would strongly recommend P-SCHOOL to anyone who wants to learn driving and be a safe driver. ?
Thank you very much, Trina!
Best Regards,

Hi Trina
Thank you for all your calm, friendly, patient and comprehensive instruction which enabled me to successfully pass my test and get my Ps.
If you are thinking of taking driving lessons I highly recommend Trina.
In the past (with other driving instructors) I generally found lessons to be quite stressful, but I actually looked forward to my lessons with Trina. I found her to be an excellent teacher, and she really cares about teaching you to be a safe and responsible driver, not just so you can pass your test, but for the rest of your life.
Thanks again Trina, and best wishes for the future.

Hi Trina,
This is Amir, I’m writing this to thanks you for the good job you did.
Trina is an experienced instructor who knows what to teach you so that you could pass the exam on the first go. She knows all the rule and is aware of what the testers are looking after in the exam, so she just teaches you the thing that you need to pass the exam plus she’s familiar with the test routes which is a great advantage because on the test day you know what to do exactly. I highly reccommend her if you’re keen to pass as soon as possible.
Cheers
Amir
Having lessons with Trina here at P-School was a real big help leading up to my exam at Ryde RTA which I scored 100%! I didn’t think I
could of done it! But with the support and guidance of Trina I was confident enough to do the test as safe as possible. She taught me everything i needed to know for the test and for the future !! I recommend Trina for all Learner drivers coming up to their P’s test! Thanks again Trina!!
Regards, Jake
Dear Trina,
I would like to thank you for helping me pass my driving test with 96%. After not driving for a long time, I was terrified to get back on the road. She helped me get over my fear of lane changing and busy roads. She also helped correct my technique when parking and turning. She is also very punctual and flexible with her timing. I would recommend Trina to anyone who wants to learn how to drive safely and responsibly. Thank You!
Cheers
Best Regards

Thank you very much for motivating and preparing me to get the Licence in the first attempt. Trina, You helped me to get out of my fear and jumpy feeling while driving. You exhibited extraordinary patience and politeness throughout the course.
I have been enjoying all this while travelling in the passenger seat; you are the one who gave me the confidence to promote myself to the Driver seat.
Thanks for making my life easier than ever.
I would strongly recommend Trina for the ones who are looking for an excellent car driving tutor. yes you are at the right place, no second choice
Thanks again,Venkat
Thank you so much Trina for helping me pass my driving test with a 96% score in Chatswood, which is a very busy area. Initially when I saw all the road rules and regulations I was so scared about my driving test. But your driving lessons were all so much informative and helpful. It made me confident to drive in Australia. You were always on time and you were so patient throughout the driving lessons. The mock test that you gave me before the test helped me a lot in my test. You made me familiar with the test routes through the driving classes and mock test. I’m really thankful to you for preparing me for my driving test as well as making me a good and careful driver. Thanks a LOT once again.
Love and Regards,
James
Dearest Trina,
I would like to deeply thank you for helping me pass my driving test from ” first go” with 95%. I couldn’t believe that I could get back on the wheels after 7 whole years and overcome my nervousness. Your teaching is highly professional and thorough. You are very informative and knowledgeable of the road rules which made my driving experience smooth and faultless. Thank you for all the time you gave me in explaining, with paper and pen, things I could not visualize which I personally believe the best approach in teaching new drivers. You took me all around test routes which held my fear back and made everything on the test day familiar. My examiner was impressed by how careful I was and I was really happy to attribute it all to you Trina. I would like also to acknowledge my thanks for your understanding of my circumstances and coming in the early hours of the weekend and for boosting my confidence every now and then. You inspired me by your punctuality and the quality of your lesson which was good value for money. Before getting onto your car, my mind was only set on getting the licence, as I got into your car I realized it is driving safely on the road is what really matters. I strongly recommend you Trina to all those who strive to drive safely on the road and get their licence from the first go and also those who have their licence but unfortunately do not drive safely on the road. Many, many thanks Trina for this beautiful life experience and wish you all the best.

Hi Trina,
I want to express my gratitude for filling me with great driving skills and confidence without which i might not have been able to pass the driving test scoring 98% and that too on the first go. I am very sure that the techniques and suggestions which i received from you will always help me to be a better and safe driver. I would certainly recommend everyone to join your driving school as it is one of the best I have come across. So once again I would like to thank you so much for your support and most importantly for being so patient throughout my lesson ,withstanding every error of mine and helping me to overcome it so efficiently.

Dearest Trina
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me achieve something that I thought was impossible! Your guidance and encouragement was what gave me the confidence to get behind the wheel, after many many years of hesitation. With your knowledge and calmness, you helped me week by week to gain my confidence and belief that I too could pass my test on the very first go! For this I cannot thank you enough. You were a gem to deal with, and I’ll miss our Saturday morning chats! Thank you so so much again Trina. I’ll be sure to tell everyone I know looking for a driving instructor, that you are the absolute best.

Hi Trina,
It’s been nearly three weeks since I got my driving licence and I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been driving short distances mostly with my husband in the passenger seat (he-he) – still better than nothing… And I can ‘hear’ you at the back of my mind – all those important thinks about safe driving you taught me. I can only hope I remember everything…
Once again thank you so much for being always nice and patient during my lessons. I am aware I wasn’t an easy person to teach (middle- aged woman with all sorts of life problems and no previous driving experience). In spite of that you were able to help me overcome my fears and insecurities and make me believe that I can do it too.
I respect you for your vast knowledge, experience, professionalism, understanding, kindness…
Please take care and keep in touch 🙂
Cheers,
Jadranka
I have driven a little here and there over the years, but it wasn’t until I became a single parent that I was truly motivated to get my license. Pschool’s reputation precedes itself! After three months of intense lessons, I passed my driving test on the first attempt at 96%!
I have always been very nervous when it comes to being in control of a vehicle, but with Trina’s patience and professional attitude, she has helped me to gain all the skills and knowledge I need to be a safe driver. I will utilize these skills for life.
Getting my driver’s license has not only given me confidence, but freedom. I highly recommend Pschool!
Thank you ever so much,
Astra
Hey Trina this is my testimonial for your website.
I have been driving for 12 months, as an apprentice chef with a family that is literally falling apart at the seams it was more than necessary that I got my licence.
In 5 days Trina got me from what would have been a ‘crash and fail’ to a 98% pass.
She is a wonderful person, a talented teacher and a caring person. She has taught me to drive for life not just to pass my test. I feel confident in my driving ability and proud of the effort I’ve put in and the effort that I will continue to put in.
I would recommend Trina to any learning driver any day of the week.

Hi Trina!
I am so glad I found you as a driving instructor. I have practised driving with my friends and my fiancé ( that didn’t go to well haha) and I was always a very nervous driver whereas when taking lessons with you I have become contented and confident with my driving skills. Your lessons are professional and I feel like I have picked up on all the habits to be a safe driver. I still can’t believe I passed with a score of 97%!
Thank you for your patience and of course all your laughter you made me feel so comfortable behind the wheel. I will definitely recommend your driving school to anyone who is considering learning to drive.
Thanks so much Trina, drive safe!

Trina has been a wonderful driving instructor, who has taught me to drive safely and confidently. She’s incredibly calm, patient and encouraging, and I have already recommended her to a friend of mine. Thanks to her, I’ve just passed my driving test with 98% on the first go! Thanks Trina
Katrina
Hi Trina,
as discussed here is my testimonial
Thanks again Trina. All three of our children aged 23, 20 and 17 had their lessons with you and all three passed first time! More importantly since getting their licenses the older two have never been involved in an accident and are very safe, confident drivers.
For our 17 year old son to pass on his first test was a great credit to your skill as a teacher. None of his friends had passed their first test so we thought it unlikely he would. Then on the day of the test the rain was teeming down and we were sure he wouldn’t pass. We should have listened to you because you had faith.
We appreciated the advice you gave us on when each child was ready to sit for the test. Two were more confident and didn’t need as many lessons as our other child and you catered for each individual. We have recommended you to all our friends who have children learning to drive. Those who have had you as their instructor have been very thankful to us for recommending you.
all the best,
Tonie – Drummoyne
Hi Trina,
I wanted to write and say thank you for all of your help in getting my licence. At 25, and after having my Ls for over 3 years, I never thought I would actually ever get my P’s! Even after 50 hours of professional lessons with another school, I was still nervous and terrified of driving! You taught me so many things about being a safe driver, and now I am not scared anymore. I am confident because you have taught me all of the things I need to know to stay safe on the road. I know that I will not cause an accident, and I know what to do to avoid an accident caused by another driver.
Even though I didn’t really believe you when you said I was ready for my test, I trusted you and went for it today. I shouldn’t have even bothered getting nervous, because just as you said I would, I PASSED!! The only downside now is that I will miss our Saturday morning lessons!
Thank you so much for believing in me and convincing me to believe in myself. You truly are a godsend!
Hopefully I will see you around! Drive safely – I know I will!
Dianne
Hi Trina,
Just a wee message to say thank you so much for your guidance and patience over the few days leading up to my driving test. It is true what you say………pass test at first go………I did, 97%! I couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me the confidence to go for it. It feels great to have my Ps.
All the best for the New Year and 2011.
Kind Regards,
Kirsty
