Porterble Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My 17 year old daughter was supported by the whole Porter Family through her driving lesson journey. I cannot speak highly enough about Nikki and her team. They helped my daughter overcome her anxiety to successfully learn how to safely drive, they worked hard on helping to fit my daughter’s lessons into their super busy schedule, and then they were the strongest advocates for my daughter during the practical test. They made the lessons fun, whilst also continuing to teach driving techniques. It was also fantastic that they booked and handled the practical assessment. I very highly recommend their driving school and can’t thank Nikki, Andrew and Jayvin enough. I will definitely be sending my other daughter to Portable when she reaches driving age.
Fantastic experience: Nikki has helped both of my daughters in the last two years and both passed first go. Thanks for the support, expertise and flexibility that helped get them there
Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of Andrew teaching all 3 of my girls to drive - all 3 girls learnt manual and all 3 girls passed their manual driving test on the first attempt. Both Andrew & Nikki are so kind, patient & encouraging - particularly if your young driver is feeling a little anxious. Being their own business, they go above & beyond to ensure the learner driver experience is the best it can be. I highly recommend Porterble Driving School to any learner drivers - I was very happy to keep going back for each of my girls and each one was very confident on their driver examination day.
Fantastic experience: Andrew was great from the very first lesson. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in making me feel more confident on the road and ready for my driving test, also to become a safe driver. I would highly recommend the portable team to any new learners who feel nervous to begin their journey as a new driver. Thank you so much for all the help guys!
Thanks seth, so glad to see you so happy

Fantastic experience: Jazmin loved the first lesson learnt so much about roundabouts thank you Nikki
Thanks Kevin
Fantastic experience: I want to give a big thanks to Andrew and Nikki from Porterble driving School—they were incredibly patient and truly cared about my progress. They even used iPads to explain all the maneuvers in a graphic way before we practiced them, which made learning so much easier. One of my biggest concerns was adapting to the car, but they provided a fully equipped, easy-to-drive vehicle, and I felt very comfortable behind the wheel. I 100% recommend taking classes with them!"
We love the teaching aspect, we love to explain by drawing out situations on the ipads and getting you to think through situations, thanks for the feedback
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Nikki for all your help and tips when learning to drive! I couldn’t have done it without you!!! I will remember all I’ve learnt from you throughout my driving years . You are awesome!

You are so welcome, happy to have helped and with think Neryl is amazing too
Fantastic experience: Both Nikki and Neryl were incredible assisting my daughter with education and advice in the lead up to her driving test. We had previously engaged another driving school and decided to switch to Porterble just two weeks prior to the test. They moved mountains to get us the lessons we needed as they book out far in advance due to their high referral rate. My daughter passed her test today on the first go with no minors incurred. I couldn’t recommend Porterble driving school enough! Thanks Nikki and Neryl for your superior service. I am so grateful.
Hope she is doing well, and thanks for the feedback
Fantastic experience: I had Tamika she’s the absolute bomb! Helped me so much in my confidence and my overall driving, I passed my test today all thanks to her❤️definitely recommend her, ps she’s hilarious too
We can't wait till Tamika is back with us full time

:)
Fantastic experience: Portable driving school were the first and last people to drive with me on my Learners, couldn’t recommend them enough. Nikki, Andrew and Jayvin were an absolute dream to drive and help sort out the Ps test. If your looking for anything driving these people should be your first choice cant recommend them enough. Don’t believe me? Try a lesson with them you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: Two of my kids have learned from you and you've help my nervous kid be confident. I really appreciate how accommodating you've been with our needs and schedule. My kids are turning into great drivers with your help. Well be back when the next one is old enough. Thank you!

Thanks for the review how lovely
Fantastic experience: Nikki and Andrew both took my Son for two lessons and he got his license first go. They are really personable and take the time to teach without the stress and anxiety that goes with learning to drive.
Thanks for your review and we were happy to help
Fantastic experience: Thank you for everything you do for the driving youth of the Redlands. We appreciate you creating better young drivers with better attitudes on our roads. Andy passed his test 1st try because he was confident & capable because of what Porterable do. Legends!
Fantastic experience: Andrew is the coolest driver to be around! He is awesome, even thought I failed the first time i kept my cool and got it done second time! Definitely would recommend anyone who struggles or who someone like me who panics when learning to drive. Thank you at the guys at Porterble Driving School!
Fantastic experience: Great experience got our license on the first go! Tamika our instructor was amazing and caring. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: The Porterble Driving School is absolutely amazing! They are the best driving school ever! Nikki provided me with all the instruction and guidance I needed for my test during my lessons with her. She boosted my confidence in driving and manual driving by a lot! I would definitely recommend the Porterble team to anyone thinking of getting lessons with them.
Fantastic experience: Kind people, great lessons! Had Jayvin as my driving instructor and he was very fun, easy to talk and made learning to drive an easy and stress free. Couldn’t recommend Porterble more!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have asked for better teachers. Couldn’t have passed without them.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor Andrew and good prices prepped me for my Ps recommended
Fantastic experience: Nikki and Jayvin were excellent! My nephew passed first go. Nikki made the booking process so easy. Thank you!
Thanks, we try super hard
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about this driving school. When I started I was a very anxious driver who just had a bad experience with another driving school so I was very nervous. I had the privilege of being taught by Nikki and Andrew and they were both amazing. They are both very friendly and made me feel calm when I was driving. If I made a mistake they would kindly correct me and explain what I should do next time and I never felt judged. They went through all the manoeuvres and skills and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. They helped me to become confident in my driving in general. They were both so lovely and by the end I considered them friends and I passed my driving test the first time I went for it. I was actually partly sad when I passed my driving test because I knew they wouldn’t be my instructors anymore. I will forever recommend for anyone to go through this school, especially to those who are anxious because they will look after you. Thank you so much Nikki and Andrew!
Thanks Renae, you definitely feel like family. Hope you are enjoying the freedom
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Nikki and Jayvin. Our 17 year old son Alex passed his driving lesson last week (first go), and we know this was as a result of the excellent guidance and positive feedback he was provided by you both. Alex thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to every lesson. You guys are awesome! We highly recommend Porterble Driving School. :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. We had both boys use Porterble driving school. Nikki was brilliant with communication , always kept in touch and was very accommodating to our schedule . Andrew and Jayvin were very professional with the lessons made the boys feel very comfortable with driving. Both boys passed on first attempt at manual license. Highly recommend this driving school. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Sonya, so glad the boys are all happy with their license, the boys were great in the car and listened to instructions. Stay safe
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing Nikki is an excellent instructor and my daughter passed first time highly recommend to anyone wanting an amazing instructor and passing there driving test prices are great also

Fantastic experience: I booked some lessons and a driving test for my son with Porterble Driving School. They were efficient and professional all the way.

Reverse Parallel made easy, nice work on your test, and stay safe
Fantastic experience: Amazing service
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had planned to take my driving test using our car, but got anxious a month before the test so I looked for some driving lessons. I'm glad I did and messaged Porterble DS right away. Jayvin taught me lots of stuff I didn't know especially the maneuvers. And on test day, Nikki was so wonderful and made me feel less anxious. Can't thank them enough that I got my licence on the first try. ❤
You are so welcome Eatherly, hope you are enjoying your freedom with your little family
Fantastic experience: Nikki and the team at Porterble were amazing, and I enjoyed every lesson. Nikki helped me build my confidence, was always so positive, and provided really good constructive feedback. I looked forward to every lesson, and it was a pleasure to learn from such amazing people :)
Thanks mikala, from those early days driving auto till now with your manual license, we couldn’t be happier for you. Stay safe
Fantastic experience: You guys are absolutely wonderful! I have nothing negative to say, you guys teach your students with compassion, patience and respect. Nikki and andrew are extremely friendly and easy to get a long with. You helped my partner gain the confidence she needed to pass. You guys are awesome, would highly recommend.
Thanks Sophie, we try to make our students feel safe and enjoy driving
Fantastic experience: Wonderful driving school, loved every second of my lessons with Nikki. Taught me so many valuable lessons about driving, and I passed my Ps test! Without Nikki; I would not have gained the confidence that I needed to successfully pass. Thankyou guys so much!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Thank you Tamika and Nikki - Twin boys have now passed and got their P Plates. Your learner driving packages were the best birthday presents for their 16th birthdays. Both boys have driving skills that only a great instructor can teach.
Thanks Danielle, yes your boys certainly know how to Shoulder check :) lets hope they remain safe boys out on the road. keep acting like a learner, and keep fixing your mistakes
Fantastic experience: Nikki is so lovely and makes you feel so at ease when learning. My sister has a lot of anxiety and Nikki stood by her the whole time! Made sure she felt comfortable and stayed super calm. My sister ended up passing her manual rest first go thanks to Nikki!
Thanks Crystal, Sarah did great, her anxiety was always something that I put at the forefront of our lessons, building her confidence, so happy for her and the license she has to help build her life
Negative experience: Seeing the way the instructor allows their student to cut people off/fail to give way in 60k/hr zones at intersections and roundabouts in Wellington Point makes me very hesitant to employ these services for my own kids.
Hi Laura, so sorry to hear that you had this experience with one of our learners, unfortunately not everything in the car is in our control :( A learner can be unpredictable and its not that we allow these situations, but sometimes just when we think they have it sorted, they throw us a curve ball. Sometimes we are jumping on brakes, or accelerating to get out of the way. With each of these situations it teachers our students and us valuable lessons, which we hope build them as safe drivers for the future. Many of our students have very high anxiety, and maybe on their first road drive, so please be patient with them, we all learnt once. We certainly try hard to teach our learners to be a safe drivers. If you want to chat further happy for you to send us an email so we can answer your concerns.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Nikki and Andrew who are the best and most patient driving instructors in Cleveland. Couldn't ask for better instructors!
Jing what a pleasure to help you get your much wanted license so proud of what you accomplished. Stay safe
Fantastic experience: Nicki is amazing - the most helpful, enabling and compassionate driving instructor! She enabled my son, born without his left hand and forearm, to get his manual licence!
It was such an accomplishment, a very proud moment
Fantastic experience: Can't thank Tamika enough for the time she spent teaching my son to drive. He started with another instructor but failed his first test. We switched to Tamika after she was recommended by a friend. She is honestly so calm and kind whilst instilling confidence in the new driver. Thanks again, we couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks for the wonderful review Jacob was an absolute pleasure to teach !!!
Fantastic experience: I've had lessons with a few different schools in the area and I have to say Porterble have definitely been the best! I had lessons with both Nikki and Tamika leading up to my test, which I passed first time after having a lesson package with Tamika. I couldn't have done it without them! They both gave me the confidence I needed when I was nervous and are very knowledgeable driving instructors. Tamika is so lovely and made sure I knew the test procedure as well as everything that I could be asked to do in the test. I'm so happy I chose Porterble and will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know :)
Hope you are enjoying your driving, nearly 6 months on your P's hope you are doing well
Fantastic experience: Tamika was an outstanding driving instructor helping me pass my test first go! Initially I was extremely nervous to perform the manoeuvres but with her easy to remember and simple instructions I gained a lot of confidence in my driving. She always congratulated the small achievements made during my lessons and always helped me correct my mistakes. Highly recommend!!
Thanks India for the wonderful review !!! I was so very happy to be able to be your instructor and see you get your p plates keep safe on the roads
Fantastic experience: Nikki and the team at Portable did an amazing job teaching our daughter to drive, from being a nervous beginner to now a confident and safe driver. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their kids out on the road…!
Thanks David, she did amazing in the most terrible weather which means she will do amazing out on the road
Fantastic experience: Tamika is a wonderful driving instructor with a comforting personality who always managed to make me feel at ease when learning to drive. Every lesson Tamika was able to build my driving confidence with her words of encouragement. She is also very knowledgeable and provided me with useful driving tips which allowed me to pass my test on the first attempt. I would definitely recommend Tamika to any anxious learner driver!!!
Sonia and absolute pleasure to drive with you and what an impressive result clean sheet on your test !!!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, always so nice. Thank you, Nikki, for all your help!!!!!!!
Almost ready for the next Rowland family member
Fantastic experience: After a bad expereince with a different driving school, my VERY anxious daughter LOVED her driving lessons with Tamika. She was patient, kind and made her feel at ease immediately. She taught her everything she needed to master and gave her the confidence to believe in herself. Whilst it was a happy occassion, we were all a little sad when my daughter got her licence first attempt, with a clean sheet, as she would no longer get to "hang out" with Tamika. Would recommened Tamika to anyone. Now we cant wait till our next child gets their learners and gets the pleasure and delight of spending time with Tamika!!!
Fantastic experience: We cannot speak highly enough of Tamika who was our daughter's instructor. Her patience, kindness, calmness, encouragement and ability to engage with my daughter ensured that Sarah was able to drive with confidence and pass her test first go. I highly recommend Tamika and will be definitely engaging with her when our youngest daughter learns how to drive.
Joanne thank you so much sarah was an absolute delight to teach thank you for the wonderful review the flowers and the beautiful card. I look forward to seeing her on the road ??
Fantastic experience: I had Tamika for about 6 months of my L’s where I went from just having 30 hours to now a P plater. And I can proudly say I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Not only does she have an amazing personality, she is always positive, supportive and willing to make you feel comfortable driving in the car. Thank you so much Tamika for everything you’ve done in making this whole experience so much easier!
Cathy It was an absolute pleasure teaching you I shall miss our adventures can’t wait to see you out on the road
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Tamika and I am so grateful I found her. She is not only a grate instructor, she is patient, understanding and results driven. She is relatable to any age group and uses simple, easy to remember instruction in her teachings. She made the whole process seamless for me and was always considerate about my past experience and nerves. I was extremely nervous to begin with and she made me ease in to it leading to a 1st time pass !!! Highly recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely my pleasure to teach you I’m so happy to see you realise your dream of driving to have the freedom that it brings. ??
Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend. Both our children were taught by Nikki and Andrew and both passed first time with a clean sheet. What more can I say? Can't get any better than that!! They have well structured lessons and helped them grow confidence in their driving. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Tamika is not only an outstanding driving instructor but is also a warm, kind and supportive person, making you feel comfortable and confident right away, looking forward to each lesson. Passed the driving test first time after lessons with Tamika.

An absolute pleasure Taryn you was my first student as a driving instructor I had tears in my eye watching you pass your test drive safe my friend.
Fantastic experience: Andrew was absolutely amazing with his calm, friendly manner when he was instructing my daughter Sophie with her lessons. I had no concerns with Andrew helping Sophie and she always came home very happy with the lesson and everything she learnt. Andrew was excellent with the information and the detail he went to with the instructions - but always in an easy manner. Thanx Andrew - Sophie is a good driver but you helped with all those little things that she needed to know as well. Thoroughly recommended. June
Fantastic experience: Tamika was not only a fantastic driving instructor and helped me pass my Ps on my first go, but she became a friend. She supported me through my nervousness and was patient with my silly mistakes, cracking jokes along the way. Tamika encouraged me to be a safe and intelligent driver. So happy I chose this driving school!
Absolute pleasure Kate !!! At Porterble all we can ask is that our drivers are safe out there in the road stay safe.
Fantastic experience: I took lessons from Tamika. She is not only an excellent instructor but also great person. I was scared about round about and lane changing. She helped me a lot to learn with her technique and tips. I did well in my driving test and passed in first attempt. I will highly recommend the porterble driving school. They don’t work for money but they care about their student learning and safe driving.
Fantastic experience: Andrew went above and beyond for my son to get his license. He has Autism and adhd. If you are looking for someone that understands your kids this Porterble driving school is for you. Highly recommend. Will be using with my next child as well. Great people and friendly.
