Has experience teaching students with learning difficulties.

Hi, my name is Rina.

I’m originally from the Philippines and graduated with a degree in Engineering. My real passion stems from my current role of a Driving Instructor.

From my experience in teaching other nationalities, it is exciting to learn their background, culture and their similarities (and differences) between. I enjoy learning why they need to drive, their life story and dreams. I feel accomplished when they arrive on that “a-ha” moment.

I have experience teaching deaf, autistic and Asperger’s students - the logistical challenge proved no barrier. My lessons are fun and engaging and my students feel safe and supported when with me.

I am also a driver mentor in a community. The best part of the job is hearing from my students about how driving has changed their lives.

I look forward to helping you on your learning to drive journey.

	Rina as I call her is a very patient driving instructor. She was able to explain driving concepts and NZ road code in a more practical way that I could understand it. As an example, she went out of the car to explain why shoulder checks are important just to compare using side mirrors vs using shoulder checks. With constant reminders and consistent feedback, I was able to pass my restricted test. Aside from teaching me how to drive, she was able to add some fun to our sessions; there was never a dull moment. LOL! There is a good sense of achievement to knowing close to zero to now driving independently. Ate Rina helped to empower myself that I (and all her students) can do it. I highly recommend her.
