Driving lessons built around you.
Hi, I’m Adrian — a professional driving instructor serving the North Shore. I pick you up from home, school, or work. Patient, thorough, and genuinely flexible.
What I offer
Lessons & services
Whatever stage you’re at — first time behind the wheel or nearly ready for your full licence.
Getting started
How it works
Simple, flexible, and designed around you.
Request a lesson
Fill in a short form — experience level, car preference, any learning supports needed.
I get in touch
I confirm the booking personally and sort a time that suits you.
I come to you
I pick you up from home, school, or an agreed spot. No travel stress.
Package discount
After lesson three, package pricing unlocks automatically.
How it all works
Easy to book. Easy to trust.
From your first online request to test day — here’s exactly how lessons with Shore Drive run.
Request online — I take it from there
No phone tag, no waiting on hold. Request a lesson in a couple of minutes and I'll handle the rest personally.
Tell me your stage, area, which car, and any support needs. Two minutes, done.
No auto-booking — I personally text you to lock in a time that works.
Reminder texts before every lesson go to the learner and, if you like, a parent too.
On lesson day I share pickup details and live location, so everyone knows where I am.
Life happens. Every reminder has a reschedule link — no cancellation fee, just reasonable notice.
How Adrian works
Local, personal, and safety-first
Shore Drive is one instructor who genuinely cares about getting the North Shore’s learners driving safely — not a faceless franchise.
A personal touch
You learn with Adrian — the same calm, familiar instructor every lesson. No call centres, no rotating staff.
School relationships
Trusted by North Shore schools and families, with safe, agreed pickup spots at the school gate.
Safety-minded
Signwritten dual-control car, NZTA-qualified, and a support person welcome any time — peace of mind for learners and parents.
Where I teach
Areas I cover
Based in Torbay — I travel to you across the North Shore. Click your area on the sign for local detail, or book a lesson.
Pickup and drop-off included — the lesson starts from your door. Home, school, or work, anywhere across these areas.
