why Hills 2 ocean driver training
🖥️Online Workshops, Course & Resources
I equip Parents of Learner Drivers with a simple Step-by-Step teaching process, to enable you to feel calm and confident as you guide your teen for safe driving success.
Since becoming an Accredited Driving Instructor, I’ve been driven by a passion to empower and educate parents in teaching their teens to drive confidently and safely.
I still remember when my own boys were learning to drive—I was a bundle of nerves! 😱 Back then, I was working as a Youth Worker, not an instructor, and despite my experience with teens, I struggled. Looking back, I wish I’d had the tools to make the process smoother and more rewarding.
While I can’t turn back time for myself, I can certainly help you. My goal is to make your journey with your teen a positive experience, filled with confidence and connection. I’ll guide you in providing a range of driving experiences that truly prepare them for the road ahead. Together, you’ll create 100 hours of driving practice that will not only make them safer but will also strengthen your bond and create memories you’ll both cherish.
This is exactly why I’ve developed Resources and Workshops including Stress-Reducing strategies for parents like you—to turn this milestone into an enjoyable, empowering, and memorable experience for you and your teen.
