Frequently Asked Questions About Drivetime Driving School

Does Drivetime Driving School in Wollongong have a female instructor, and is she good with nervous learners?

Yes, instructor Mereyal is the female instructor at Drivetime Driving School and she's particularly skilled with anxious and nervous learners. Families and adult learners in Wollongong tell us she's calm, patient, and brilliant at building confidence from scratch, even for people with a genuine phobia of driving. One 34-year-old learner who'd never driven before passed first go after lessons with Mereyal, and another who was terrified to touch the wheel described how Mereyal turned fear into genuine enjoyment behind the wheel.

Can Drivetime Driving School help with overseas licence conversion in Wollongong?

Yes, both Greg and Mereyal at Drivetime Driving School work regularly with learners converting overseas licences to full Australian licences. They're experienced at helping drivers adapt to Australian road rules and driving on the left side of the road. One learner from overseas who hadn't driven in years took lessons with Greg, built confidence quickly, and passed the NSW test first attempt. If you're converting a licence, a couple of refresher lessons before your test can make all the difference.

What's the pass rate like at Drivetime Driving School in Wollongong?

Drivetime Driving School has a strong first-time pass record across Wollongong, Corrimal, and Warrawong.

Is Drivetime Driving School in Wollongong good for teenage learners?
