Years’ Experience in Melbourne
Comfortable, Female-Led Learning
Monika's Driving School provides driving lessons in Newport, VIC 3015 and across the City of Hobsons Bay, with a trusted female driving instructor, modern dual-control vehicles, and lessons from $58 for a 45-minute session. We cover everything from a learner's very first driving lesson to VicRoads test preparation, refresher lessons, overseas licence conversion, and P1/P2 upgrade coaching, with a 95% first-time pass rate and flexible bookings around Newport's train, school and work commute times.
Newport is one of Melbourne's most walkable inner-west suburbs — a mix of quiet residential streets around Newport Lakes Reserve, busy arterial roads like Melbourne Road and Champion Road, and quick access to Douglas Parade, the Westgate Freeway and neighbouring Williamstown, Spotswood and Yarraville. That mix makes it an ideal — and sometimes tricky — place to learn, and our lessons are built around it.
Our driving school helps learners get comfortable with everything Newport throws at you: quiet side streets for your very first driving lesson, the roundabouts and traffic lights around Melbourne Road and Champion Road for building confidence, and the busier approach to the Westgate Freeway and Millers Road for test-ready drivers. We know the local VicRoads test routes and examiner expectations used around the Hobsons Bay area, so lessons focus on exactly the manoeuvres you'll be assessed on — reverse parallel parking, hill starts, lane positioning and safe merging.
Every lesson is delivered in a modern, dual-control vehicle with a calm, supportive teaching style. Whether you're a nervous beginner, an adult learner, an international licence holder converting to a VIC licence, or a P1/P2 driver wanting extra practice, our Newport driving lessons are tailored to your pace and goals.
