Expert Driving Lessons for Teens to Build Confidence!
Stay Safe, Confident, and Independent on the Road now!
Many learners, particularly women from diverse cultural backgrounds, teenagers, and nervous beginners, feel more comfortable learning with a female driving instructor. At Monika’s Driving School, we proudly provide experienced female instructors who offer a calm, patient, and understanding approach to every driving lesson.
Led by Monika Upadhyay, our female driving instructor service in Laverton focuses on creating a welcoming, respectful, and pressure-free learning environment. Students are encouraged to ask questions openly, learn from mistakes, and progress at a pace that suits their confidence and ability.
Whether you’re a parent seeking a female instructor for your teenage daughter, a woman returning to driving after a break, or someone who simply feels more at ease with a female instructor, Monika’s Driving School offers supportive, professional instruction tailored to your needs.
Do you feel tense or overwhelmed at the thought of driving? Does sitting in the driver’s seat make you anxious or uncertain? You’re far from alone; many learners struggle with driving-related fears. At Monika’s Driving School, we focus on helping nervous and hesitant drivers move past anxiety and develop genuine confidence behind the wheel in a calm, supportive environment.
Below are some of the common driving concerns we help learners overcome:
Worrying about doing something wrong is natural. With patient instructors and dual-control vehicles, you can learn safely and steadily, gaining confidence at a pace that suits you.
Fast-moving traffic and busy roads can feel overwhelming. We introduce these situations gradually, beginning on quieter streets and building up to more complex driving conditions as your confidence grows.
Test-day pressure is common. Our mock driving tests and practice on real test routes help you understand what to expect, reducing stress and increasing your readiness for the actual exam.
If a previous accident or negative experience has affected your confidence, our instructors use a gentle, understanding approach to help you rebuild trust in your driving ability step by step.
Many learners feel they’ll never be able to drive confidently. We’ve helped countless students overcome this mindset through encouragement, structured lessons, and consistent support.
Concerned about making mistakes in front of others? Our private one-on-one lessons provide a pressure-free space where errors are part of the learning process—not something to feel embarrassed about.

If you have an overseas driver’s licence or previous driving experience from another country, adapting to Australian road rules and driving habits can take time. At Monika’s Driving School, we provide dedicated lessons designed to help international drivers confidently adjust to Victorian driving standards, including local road signs, speed regulations, and safe driving practices.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment lesson to understand your current skill level and identify any driving habits that may need adjustment for Australian roads. From there, we focus on essential local requirements such as give-way rules, roundabouts, hook turns (where required), lane discipline, and safely merging into Melbourne’s busy traffic conditions.
Whether you are converting an overseas licence or starting your driving journey in Victoria, our customised test preparation ensures you feel confident, informed, and fully ready to pass your driving test smoothly and stress-free.
Avoid the stress of multiple driving tests and save money by choosing Monika’s Driving School. With our effective teaching methods, extensive understanding of local roads, and commitment to student achievement, we’re the leading choice for Laverton residents aiming to pass their driving test on the first try.
Our skilled instructors will walk you through every step, from learning the fundamentals of vehicle control to handling more advanced traffic situations. We emphasise practical driving abilities, defensive driving strategies, and boosting your confidence, ensuring you’re thoroughly prepared for the test. Whether you’re getting your first probationary permit or advancing to the next level, we provide tailored lessons to help you progress smoothly.
First Probationary Permit (Red Plates): After passing your driving test, you’ll receive your Red Plates (initial probationary permit), valid for 12 months for drivers under 21. This stage comes with certain limitations, such as restrictions on phone usage and passenger numbers.
Second Probationary Permit (Green Plates): Once you complete the 12-month Red Plates period, you’ll transition to the Green Plates phase, which lasts for 3 years. While some restrictions are lifted, it’s important to keep a clean driving record as you work towards earning your full, unrestricted license.
