ABOUT EASY P'S DRIVING ACADEMY

Hi, I'm Richard, founder of Easy P's Driving Academy I offer both Automatic and Manual transmission in vehicle lessons.

Learning to drive is one of life's biggest milestones, and choosing the right instructor can make all the difference.

My goal is to help every learner become a safe, confident, and capable driver in a calm, supportive environment where they feel comfortable learning at their own pace.

As a qualified Certificate IV Motor Vehicle Driver Training Instructor and Department of Transport WA Approved, I bring more than 25 years of professional experience instructing, supervising, mentoring, and developing drivers across the transport, construction, aviation, and oil & gas industries.

My career has been built on promoting the highest standards of safety, professionalism and driver competency in some of Australia's most demanding environments. This gives parents and learners the confidence that every lesson is delivered with experience, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to developing safe, responsible drivers for life.

I've worked with motorcycles, cars, trucks, heavy machinery, and specialised equipment in high-risk environments where safety is always the highest priority.

That experience has taught me that every learner is different. Some need to build confidence, others need to overcome anxiety, and many simply need someone who is patient, encouraging, and believes in them. That's exactly how I teach.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a nervous learner, building your driving hours, preparing for your WA Practical Driving Assessment (PDA), or an international driver adapting to Australian road rules and working towards your WA licence, I'm here to help.

I understand how much passing your PDA means to you and your family. My goal isn't just to help you pass your test, but to prepare you for safe driving long after you've earned your licence.

My focus is on building your confidence, developing safe driving habits and giving you the practical skills to become a capable, independent driver.

We'll work together as a team, helping you progress at your own pace in a calm, supportive environment.

If you're looking for a patient, professional and supportive driving instructor in Perth's northern suburbs, I'd love to help you achieve your goals.

Build your confidence. Drive safely. Get your P's the Easy way!

Extra support Package from $77.00 including GST Per Hour.

This package has been thoughtfully designed especially for learners who experience anxiety, nervousness, or a lack of confidence, as well as those getting behind the wheel for the very first time.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual, delivered in a calm, patient, and supportive environment where learners can progress at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

With personalised one-on-one instruction, gentle encouragement, and structured guidance, I help learners build confidence step by step while developing the skills and safe driving habits they need for a lifetime of independent driving.

Parents and learner students can feel confident knowing they are learning with an experienced, professional instructor who understands that every learner is different and is committed to creating a safe, positive, and encouraging learning experience from the very first lesson.

Absolute Beginner Package from $77.00 including GST Per Hour.

Our Absolute Beginner Package has been thoughtfully designed for learners who are taking the exciting first step towards becoming a safe and confident driver. Whether you've never sat behind the wheel before or have little to no driving experience, this package provides the ideal foundation to begin your driving journey.

Starting with the fundamentals, each lesson is delivered in a calm, patient, and supportive environment, allowing learners to build confidence at a pace that suits their individual needs. From understanding vehicle controls and basic maneuvers to developing safe driving habits and road awareness, every lesson is carefully structured to build the skills needed for lifelong safe driving.

Each session combines personalised one-on-one in-car training with easy-to-understand theory, helping learners understand not only how to drive, but also why safe driving techniques and good decision-making are essential.

No two learners are the same, which is why every lesson is tailored to the individual's learning style, confidence level, and personal goals. This personalised approach ensures steady progress while creating a positive and enjoyable learning experience.

Parents can have complete confidence knowing their child is learning with an experienced, Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training holder and Department of Transport WA approved instructor who is committed to developing safe, responsible, and confident drivers—not just helping them obtain their licence, but preparing them with the skills they need for a lifetime of safe driving.

Experienced Learner Package from $77.00 including GST Per Hour.

Our Experienced Learner Package is designed for learners who have already developed the fundamentals of driving and are ready to take their skills to the next level as they prepare for their Practical Driving Assessment (PDA).

These personalised one-on-one lessons are carefully tailored to the learner's current ability, focusing on refining driving techniques, improving hazard perception, strengthening decision-making, and correcting any habits that may affect assessment performance. Every lesson is designed to maximise progress by concentrating on the areas where the learner will benefit most.

As confidence and competence continue to grow, learners are introduced to assessment-style driving in a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment that mirrors real-world driving rather than simply "teaching to the test." This approach helps learners understand what is expected during their PDA while developing the confidence and judgement needed to make safe driving decisions independently.

Parents can have complete confidence knowing their child is learning with an experienced, Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training holder and Department of Transport WA approved instructor who is committed to developing safe, responsible, and confident drivers. Our goal is not simply to help learners pass their Practical Driving Assessment, but to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and safe driving habits they will carry with them for a lifetime.

Supervisor Driving Package from $66.00 including GST per Hour.

Our Supervised Driving Package is a cost-effective way for learner drivers to gain valuable experience behind the wheel while working towards their required supervised driving hours.

These sessions are ideal for building confidence, improving road awareness, and reinforcing the skills already learned during formal driving lessons. Conducted in our dual-control vehicle, each drive provides a safe and supportive environment where learners can develop good driving habits, increase their experience in a variety of traffic conditions, and become more confident behind the wheel.

This package is also an excellent solution for families where parents or friends are unable to assist with supervised driving hours due to work commitments, time constraints, confidence, or simply not having access to a suitable vehicle. It provides learners with the opportunity to continue gaining valuable driving experience without interruption, ensuring they stay on track towards achieving their licence.

We provide professional guidance, constructive feedback, and encouragement throughout every drive. The result is a safer, more confident driver who is well prepared for both the Practical Driving Assessment and a lifetime of safe driving.

Student Mentoring Sessions from $66.00 including GST Per Hour.

Our Student Mentoring Sessions are designed for learners who want to go beyond simply completing their required driving hours. These sessions focus on developing the judgement, awareness, and decision-making skills needed to become a safe, confident, and independent driver for life.

Unlike traditional supervised driving, mentoring sessions provide ongoing coaching that helps learners recognise hazards earlier, anticipate the actions of other road users, and make safe decisions in a wide range of real-world situations.

Every drive is an opportunity to strengthen confidence, improve vehicle control, and develop the mindset of a responsible driver.

To build well-rounded driving experience, learners are encouraged to complete a variety of driving conditions, including daytime, night-time, wet weather, busy traffic, country roads, and freeway driving. This broad exposure prepares them for the many situations they will encounter long after they have earned their licence.

Instructor lessons from $88.00 including GST Per Hour.

These Instructor lessons teach you the skills you need to drive safely in most driving conditions. It includes hours of in-car training. Each lesson build on your driving experiences as you now prepare for the practical driving assessment. The lessons are designed to be in car with real world scenarios that a Department of Transport (DoT) assessor will test you on.

Customized Training from $88.00 including GST Per Hour.

From our Students

We have earned the trust and satisfaction from lots of students, all over the country, by providing reliable, high-quality service. See what they're saying.

Great first lesson! Everything was explained clearly, and I picked up some really useful tips and tricks. I was a bit nervous at first, but that quickly went away because he was very patient and easy to talk to. The lesson was easy to follow, and I felt comfortable asking questions whenever I wasn't sure about something. Overall, it was a really positive experience and made me feel much more confident about learning to drive. Definitely recommend!

Emi

Student Learner

Amazing feed back each lesson takes time to give advice and tell you what you can improve on and what you are doing well doesn’t stress you out and is patient yet stern, you can tell he isn’t in it for the money best instructor ever 😁

Mako

Student Learner

I had lessons with someone else first and I just wasn't clicking with it. After changing to Easy P's things started making way more sense.

I stopped overthinking every little thing and felt a lot calmer driving by myself. Passed my test too!! So happy 😭

Isabella

Student

Had a few lessons before my test mainly to see what I was doing wrong. Got picked up on a couple of bad habits straight away which was exactly what I needed.

The mock drive helped heaps. Passed and got my Ps. Cheers! 👍

Cooper

Student

First lesson I was SO nervous. Like even pulling out onto the road made me panic a bit 😂

We took it slow and I never felt pushed into doing something I wasn't ready for. A few lessons later and I'm driving around way more confidently. Still have lots to learn but I'm not scared of it anymore.

Emily

Student

Booked in close to my PDA because I wanted a proper opinion on whether I was ready or not. Feedback was straight up and actually useful.

Fixed a few things with my checks and positioning, did a practice assessment and passed the real one. Definitely worth doing before the test.

Lucas

Student

I like that if I get something wrong it doesn't turn into a big deal. We just talk about what happened and try it again.

That has made me way less nervous because I used to get stressed as soon as I made one mistake. I feel so much better in the car now 😊

Ruby

Student

Good instructor, chill lessons and tells you what you actually need to work on. Not just driving around for an hour doing the same thing.

My lane changes and parking are heaps better now. Would recommend.

Mason

Student

I kept putting off driving because I was honestly terrified of busy roads. Even when Mum tried to get me to practise I'd make excuses.

The lessons have helped so much because we didn't rush it. I can drive through places now that I used to avoid completely. I'm actually starting to believe I can get my Ps.

Zoe

Student

Only did a few lessons before my PDA. Needed to clean up my observations and stop rushing a couple of things.

Passed first go after that. Thanks mate, really appreciated the help.

Tyler

Student

I was worried driving lessons would be really serious and awkward but they're not at all. I can ask questions without feeling dumb and everything gets explained in a way I understand.

Parking finally makes sense now 😂

Charlotte

Student

I already had most of my hours and thought I was a pretty decent driver, but there were definitely things I wasn't noticing.

The test prep was good because it showed me what an assessor is actually looking for. I went into my PDA a lot more switched on and passed.

Ryan

Student

I PASSED!! 😭 I was so nervous on test day but I could hear all the little reminders from my lessons in my head lol.

Thank you for being patient with me, especially with gaps and roundabouts because I used to overthink them so much. So happy to finally have my Ps!!

Ella

Student

Stalled about a million times at the start 😂 Clutch control was probably the thing I struggled with most.

Never got made to feel bad about it though. Once I understood the bite point properly it got way easier. Hill starts are still not my favourite but at least I can do them now haha.

Joshua

Student

“As a parent, my biggest concern was making sure my daughter was learning to drive safely and developing good habits from the beginning. I was extremely impressed with Easy P’s Driving Academy. The instructor was patient, professional and clearly focused on safety at every stage.

The lessons were well structured and efficient, and we could see her confidence and ability improving after every session. She wasn’t just being taught how to pass a test—she was learning how to make safe decisions and become a responsible driver.

I would happily recommend Easy P’s to any parent looking for a safe, effective and professional driving instructor.”

Sarah

Parent of a student

I liked that the lessons weren't just about passing the test. We worked on stuff I'd actually need when I'm driving on my own too.

Passed my PDA and I feel comfortable driving by myself now, which was the main thing I wanted. Thank you!

Lily

Student

“My daughter was quite nervous about learning to drive, so finding the right instructor was very important to us. Richard at Easy P’s was fantastic.

Richard was calm, patient and reassuring while still making sure each lesson had clear goals and genuine progress. The lessons were efficient and effective without ever making her feel rushed or pressured.

What impressed me most was the emphasis on safe driving, awareness and good decision-making—not simply doing enough to pass the assessment. Watching her develop into a confident and capable young driver has been wonderful. I would definitely recommend Easy P’s Driving Academy to other parents.”

Rebecca

Parent of a nervous student

I had lessons with someone else first and I just wasn't clicking with it. After changing to Easy P's things started making way more sense.

I stopped overthinking every little thing and felt a lot calmer driving by myself. Passed my test too!! So happy 😭

Beth

Student

“We chose Easy P’s because we wanted our son to receive professional instruction alongside the driving practice we were doing with him at home. It turned out to be an excellent decision.

The instructor (Richard) quickly identified the areas that needed improvement and made every lesson productive. Communication was clear, the training was calm and structured, and safety was always the priority.

By the time our son went for his PDA, the difference in his confidence, observation and decision-making was obvious. As parents, it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he had been taught properly. Highly recommended.”

Mark

Student's Parent

I couldn’t recommend Richard enough as a driving instructor! He was incredibly patient, supportive and easy to learn from. He makes me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, even when I was nervous or unsure of myself. Richard explained everything clearly, never made me feel silly for asking questions, and genuinely wants me to become a safe and confident driver.
