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.
