I have been a driving instructor for Ipswich Pro Drive since 2013. I aim to teach the skills you need to be a safe and confident driver out on the road, not just pass the practical test. With 10 plus years of performance motorsport driving, passing on knowledge of vehicle control and thinking ahead means my first time pass rate is always high.

Hi, I’m Rick.

There is nothing more satisfying than to see the smile on a student’s face at the end of each lesson, whether they be a new student or a returning mature aged student when they know they have made progress and have increased their skill set.

As a team, instructor and student, we work together to get you to your goal as an independent but more so a safe, confident and well prepared driver for all situations.

It is easier for us to train you the correct techniques at the start of your journey than to try and correct the bad habits at the end of your journey.

I am a current member of the (ADTA) Australian Driver Trainer Association.

On a personal note, I have been in Ipswich all my life and am married with a 19 year old daughter.

Lesson Vehicle: Toyota Corolla

I am an automatic instructor and also a fully accredited Keys2Drive instructor. Previously I used to be a language teacher and therefore have a strong passion for teaching. What I like about giving part-time driving lessons is the interaction with my students and helping them accomplish their goals and passing their tests on their first attempt. – I was born in Switzerland and grew up in Germany. After living in California and Switzerland, I moved to Australia with my family, first to Sydney and then to Queensland. I speak several languages. I have an outgoing personality and a good sense of humour.

Before becoming a driving instructor, I was a lead lighter (stained glass) for 30 years. When I decided to start a family, the lead lighting took a back seat.

I became a driving instructor in 2012, as it provides the flexibility that my family needs. It works well with my children’s school hours and enables me to choose when I am available to work.

I have found being a driving instructor to be extremely rewarding. I love seeing the journey my learner’s go on, from having them in the car with no experience, to helping them get their licence.

I have 2 daughters in high school, in our spare time we love going camping with family and friends.

I have been a driver trainer for 5 years. I started out teaching both manual and auto transmission, however I now concentrate on just teaching automatic. It has been said that my teaching style is somewhat different from other trainers with a systematic approach to developing all the skills necessary to be the safest driver you can be. I teach with compassion and empathy with the knowledge that no two people learn the same way. I take the time to understand your needs and capabilities. I am also passionate about teaching those with learning disabilities including cerebral palsy, autism, Asperger’s syndrome and other learning challenges. The one thing I will not do is “Yell”. I am also a fully accredited Keys 2 Drive instructor.

I understand everyone learns differently, but our goals are the same, to become confident, safe, and independent drivers for life. To do this, I am on the road seven days, and happy to do night lessons.
