About Teaching a Learner Driver

  • Do I need any teaching experience to use this course?

    Not at all! You don’t need to be a driving instructor — this course is designed to walk you through exactly what to do in a simple and structured way.

  • Do I really need to prepare if I plan to book professional lessons?

    Even if your learner has professional lessons, you’ll still need to supervise them for a significant part of their driving hours before they get their licence. Many parents don’t realise how much time they’ll spend in the passenger seat until it happens! Training Wheels ensures that when the time comes, you feel confident, calm, and in control

  • How do I keep my learner calm and confident?

    One of the biggest challenges for supervising drivers is managing nerves and frustration—for both the learner and the supervisor. Our course includes tips on staying calm, building confidence, and avoiding common mistakes that can lead to stressful lessons.

  • What should I do if my learner makes a mistake?

    Mistakes are part of the learning process. Instead of panicking, it’s important to stay calm, explain what happened, and guide them through how to correct it next time. We provide strategies to help correct mistakes in a way that builds confidence rather than fear.

  • How can I make sure my learner gets the right experience in their 120 hours?

    Not all driving hours are equal! Learners need experience in different conditions—night driving, highways, busy streets, bad weather, and more. Training Wheels helps you plan structured lessons so your learner gains a well-rounded driving experience before they go for their test

  • What’s the best way to teach parallel parking?

    Parallel parking can be intimidating for learners! Our course breaks it down into simple, step-by-step instructions, so you can teach it in a way that makes sense (and doesn’t end in frustration!)

Driving Test & Test Preparation

  • How can I help my learner prepare for the driving test?

    Our course covers everything your learner needs to feel confident on test day. You'll learn what to expect during the test, the most common reasons learners fail (and how to avoid them), how to practice test routes effectively, and when a professional lesson might be helpful for final preparation.

  • Will my learner still need professional driving lessons?

    Training Wheels is designed to reduce your reliance on professional lessons by giving you the skills to teach most things yourself. However, some learners benefit from a few professional lessons closer to test time to refine their skills.

  • Should my learner do the test in their own car or a driving instructor’s car?

    Your learner can take the test in either their own car or a driving instructor’s car. Using their own car can be more comfortable since they’re familiar with it, while an instructor’s car may have added benefits like dual controls. The best choice depends on your learner’s confidence and what makes them feel most prepared on test day

  • What happens if my learner fails their driving test?

    First, don’t panic! Plenty of learners don’t pass on their first go — and that’s okay. The most important thing is to identify what went wrong and practice those areas before booking the next test. We offer tips on handling setbacks and helping your learner feel ready for their next attempt.
