Many learners, particularly female students and those from diverse cultural backgrounds, feel more comfortable learning with a female instructor. At Monika’s Driving School, we understand this preference and are proud to offer professional female driving instruction throughout Tarneit, Tarneit, and surrounding suburbs.
Monika Upadhyay, our principal instructor, brings over 10 years of experience and a uniquely patient, understanding approach to teaching. As a female instructor in Tarneit and the wider western suburbs, she’s helped hundreds of students—many of whom specifically sought out a female instructor—achieve their driving goals with confidence and competence.
Female students often tell us they feel more comfortable asking questions, admitting their fears, and making mistakes with a female instructor. There’s no pressure to appear confident when you’re not, and no judgment for being cautious or nervous. This comfortable learning environment translates directly into faster skill development and greater confidence behind the wheel.
The benefits of learning with a female driving instructor extend beyond comfort. Many students find that female instructors excel at breaking down complex maneuvers into simple steps, providing consistent positive reinforcement alongside constructive feedback, creating a judgment-free learning environment, and demonstrating exceptional patience with nervous or struggling learners.

Feeling scared of driving, making mistakes or failing the test is extremely common, especially on busy Tarneit and Truganina roads. Monika specialises in turning nervous learners into relaxed, confident drivers by starting in quieter streets, slowing the pace and explaining each step in simple language.
You are never rushed or judged; instead, every lesson includes encouragement, repetition and targeted practice on the skills you find hardest, such as lane changes, roundabouts or parking. The dual‑control car means your instructor can step in instantly if needed, which helps reduce fear and lets you focus on learning instead of worrying about “what if something goes wrong”.
The driving test can feel like the biggest hurdle between you and your P-plates, but with proper preparation, you’ll walk into that test with calm confidence. Our Driving Test Preparation program is specifically designed for students who are nearly test-ready but want that final polish and practice to ensure success.
We dedicate entire lessons to mock driving tests that replicate the actual VicRoads examination as closely as possible. Your instructor will use the same assessment criteria that VicRoads testers use, providing detailed feedback on every aspect of your driving. You’ll know exactly what to expect, what areas need improvement, and what you’re already doing exceptionally well.
Many of our test preparation students pass on their first attempt, and those who don’t typically pass on their second try after a single additional lesson addressing the specific points they missed. Our goal isn’t just to help you pass eventually—it’s to help you pass the first time.
