“Rhys is a very good instructor and made the instructions easy to follow and he would demonstrate when I needed more help,” Amanda said.
After completing nine driving lessons with Winun Ngari, Amanda passed her driving test in Decemeber 2024.
Rhys enjoyed teaching Amanda and fondly remembers driving into various peoples’ driveways to perfect her reversing techniques.
“It was great seeing her confidence grow as the weeks passed and I couldn’t be happier for her getting her licence,” Rhys said.
Amanda’s advice to others seeking to join Winun Ngari’s program was to trust Rhys and listen to all the instructions and guidelines.
“The goal is to become confident and everything else will fall into place,” she said.
