We understand that many students, particularly young women and those from diverse cultural backgrounds, feel more comfortable learning with a female driving instructor in Keilor Downs. At Monika’s Driving School, we’re proud to offer experienced, patient female instructors who create a supportive, judgment-free learning environment where you can thrive.

Many students find that learning with a female instructor helps them overcome anxiety more quickly and progress at a comfortable pace.
The benefits extend beyond comfort.

They’re particularly skilled at working with students who’ve had negative experiences with previous instructors or who are returning to driving after a break.
Whether you’re a teenager getting your first licence, a parent balancing family commitments, or someone who simply prefers learning with a female instructor, we’re here to support you. Our instructors respect your preferences, work around your schedule, and create a learning experience that’s both effective and enjoyable.
Preparing for your driving test in Keilor Downs requires more than just knowing how to drive—it demands test-specific knowledge, strategic preparation, and the confidence to perform under pressure. Our specialised driving test preparation program has helped hundreds of students achieve first-time passes at local VicRoads testing centers.
We begin your test preparation by conducting a comprehensive mock test that identifies exactly which areas need refinement. Our instructors are intimately familiar with the assessment criteria VicRoads examiners use, and we teach you precisely what they’re looking for in each competency area. You’ll learn the subtle differences between good driving and test-standard driving, ensuring you demonstrate every skill correctly on test day.
Our preparation includes extensive practice on the actual routes used for driving tests in the Keilor Downs area. You’ll become completely comfortable with the specific intersections, roundabouts, and road conditions you’re likely to encounter during your assessment. We cover common test scenarios like three-point turns in residential streets, reverse parallel parking in shopping areas, and navigating multi-lane roads with confidence.
Beyond technical skills, we focus heavily on managing test-day nerves. Our instructors teach proven techniques for staying calm, focused, and mentally prepared. We simulate test conditions during practice sessions, so the actual test feels familiar rather than overwhelming. Many students tell us that feeling truly prepared is what gave them the confidence to pass on their first attempt.
For students who’ve previously failed a test, we offer specialised catch-up sessions that target your specific weak areas identified in your examiner’s report. We don’t just help you pass—we ensure you become a genuinely safe, capable driver ready for independent road use.

Moving to Australia from another country? At Monika’s Driving School in Keilor Downs, we specialise in helping international drivers transition smoothly to Victorian roads. Whether you’re converting an overseas licence or starting fresh, we understand the unique challenges you face—from adapting to left-side driving to understanding Australian road rules, roundabout procedures, and local driving customs that differ from your home country.
Our overseas conversion program respects your existing driving experience while focusing specifically on what you need to master for Australian conditions. We’ll familiarise you with Victorian-specific rules like hook turns, slip lanes, and unique give-way regulations, while helping drivers from right-hand traffic countries adjust their muscle memory to left-side driving. Our instructors have extensive experience with international drivers from the UK, India, China, USA, Singapore, South Africa, and many other countries.
The VicRoads conversion process varies by country of origin—some licences convert directly while others require a practical test. We guide you through the entire process, explain documentation requirements, and provide thorough preparation for any required assessments. Beyond just passing tests, we help you understand Australian driving culture and unwritten road courtesies, ensuring you drive with confidence and integrate smoothly into Melbourne’s traffic from day one.
Passed your test? Congratulations! But the journey from probationary driver to truly skilled, confident driver is just beginning. At Monika’s Driving School, we offer specialised P1 and P2 lessons that build the advanced skills statistics show new drivers need most—hazard perception, defensive driving, night and wet weather handling, freeway confidence, and emergency response techniques that go beyond basic testing requirements.
Our P-plate program helps you safely navigate the highest-risk period of your driving life by exposing you to challenging scenarios in a controlled, instructional setting. We focus on situations you’re nervous about tackling alone—peak hour merging, complex city intersections, driving in heavy rain, and managing distractions. For P2 drivers, we offer advanced refinement lessons that eliminate bad habits, prepare you for full licence transition, and develop mature driving judgment that prevents accidents. We also ensure you fully understand P-plate restrictions including passenger limits, mobile phone rules, and power-to-weight ratios to avoid costly violations.
Parents invest in these lessons for peace of mind, knowing their teenager has skills beyond the minimum standard. Whether you need help with specific challenges or ongoing quarterly skill development throughout your probationary period, our flexible program builds the confidence and capability that keeps you safe for a lifetime of driving.
