Meet the Instructors

Rebecca Hanrahan (Bec) - Qualified Driving Instructor

Brandon Lynn - Qualified Driving Instructor

 Mike Raos - Qualified Driving Instructor


Having grown up within rural areas of South England my driving licence was valuable to me because without it I was stuck at home.  My driving licence gave me so much; independence, freedom, confidence and work opportunities to name but a few. 

I qualified as a Driving Instructor (ADI) in the UK in 1997 and with a very successful pass rate, I went on to establish a successful driving school, growing the business to 20 Driving Instructors.

Moving to New Zealand in 2008 and now with my I endorsement, I am back doing what I enjoy most, supporting drivers through to their next stage licence.

With over 14 years experience as a Driving Instructor, my driving school offers a professional, honest, patient and friendly service with all driving tuition tailored to suit the trainee's individual ability. 

Putting my experience to to good use, I also sit on the Executive Team at New Zealand Institute of Driver Educators (NZIDE), please click on the button below for more information.

Brandon was born and raised in Auckland. Brandon previously worked in the mental health sector supporting people to independence in the community, as well as supporting youth in crisis within the South Auckland area.

It is his passion in supporting youth making positive steps forward that has lead him to a career in driving tuition. Brandon has trained and qualified as a Driving Instructor in New Zealand. In his free time Brandon enjoys computers, technology and movies. Brandon has a calm and logical approach with an emphasis on  building confidence and safety.
