Melonie was a fantastic instructor for our daughter. She was patient, knew when to instruct, to guide and to allow her to work it out for herself. She also had a good knack of giving her the confidence to take her test.
Richard has been amazing, his positive attitude, patience and guidance has been very helpful and resulted in me passing my test with great results.
Thanks so much Richard, I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who asks.
A massive, massive shout out and thank you to Jordan. Makayla had tried 4 instructors before we found Jordan. He is beyond patient, caring and so knowledgeable. For every question Makayla asked (and there were plenty ??), Jordan had the right answer and guidance to help Makayla. But between all the serious business, Jordan knew how to have a laugh and keep Makayla calm and ease her nerves. Makayla passed her test first go ??. Thank you Jordan from the bottom of our hearts.
From Makayla and her mum, Kelly ??
Sidekicks vroom school very professional with great instructors,easy to follow and understand instructions by Lionel
Fantastic instructor! Punctual, clear communication, and effective teaching. 5 stars
I honestly couldn’t recommend Barry enough! He was an amazing instructor, incredibly patient with me, but also never afraid to call me out on my mistakes and make sure I actually learned from them.
He went above and beyond to help me, even moving things around in his own schedule to accommodate me when I needed it. I genuinely don’t think I would have got my licence without all of his help, patience and encouragement.
You can really see the years of experience and the passion he has for what he does, but what stood out to me the most was how much he genuinely cares about his students. He has such a great heart and truly wants to see you succeed.
Thank you so much, Barry, for everything you did for me. I GOT MY LICENCE!! ?????? I’m so grateful I had you as my instructor!
very good instructor and good to chat to aswell
Erica is a kind and patient instructor. My daughter had tried 2 other instructors and as soon as she started lessons at Sidekicks Vroom with Erica I noticed a huge difference in her driving ability, confidence and enjoyment of lessons. Erica put her at ease, explained everything clearly and my daughter passed her test first go. I highly recommend Erica!
Melonie was an exceptional instructor for our daughter, Alie - she was clear and engaging, and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the assessment process. Alie was very prepared by the time her test came along and she passed first time. You can’t ask for much more!
Feedback is for both Richard Hackett and Jordan Spicer who both instructed our son to prepare him for his recent PDA (due to timing constraints), and he was able to pass on his first attempt. Both instructors are absolute rockstars and I would recommend either of them without any hesitation at all!
Great advice and guidance from an amazing instructor communicated always in a calm and clear manner. You will very much feel your abilities and confidence grow with Lionel.
We used Richards services for our children. Richard as instructor was amazing and he was going extra step to make sure that new drivers feel comfortable and ready for road.
Highly recommended
Choosing Mel as my driving instructor was the best decision I had made in getting my license. She made me feel comfortable, and helped build up not only my skills but also my confidence in driving. She tailored her teaching in way that was personally comprehendible to me, which was exactly what I needed. Thank you Mel, you’re awesome????
Erica is so great! She is so understanding and she has helped me grow into a confident driver and I couldn’t have done it without her support and guidance.
Highly recommend Sidekicks Driving School, especially Dan. Thank you for all the time, patience and support you gave my son throughout his driving lessons. Thanks to your excellent instruction, he passed his driving test and received his licence on the first attempt. We really appreciate all your hard work and couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you, Dan!
Ashleigh and Parker
It took me so many years to finally muster the courage to drive, and also to believe I will be able to drive. Honestly at some point I thought I would be a lost cause. Richard proved me wrong and he has been the best teacher. He was calm and attentive. He stops and makes time to ensure I understand each instruction and lesson. He adapted very well to my issues and instilled in me the importance of safety. I never thought I would get my license and pass my pda on my first take. I couldn't thank him enough.
Lionel is the best! He is a thorough, diligent and kind teacher, who wants the learners to succeed and supports them to do that. Thanks again Lionel.
Best driver instructor ever, thought me a lot of stuff, help me pass my test and over all a good teacher and person. Give him a raise
Amazing instructor, good fun and even better instructing.
Thanks Dan for all your help
We cannot speak highly enough of Melonie from Sidekicks.
She approached each lesson with kindness, professionalism, and so knowledgeable and eager to teach. She is so relatable to her clients and completely makes them feel at ease and gives them the confidence to do well. My son passed on his first attempt and we put it down to Melonie's amazing talent of teaching. I highly recommend Melonie and the Sidekicks team.
Thank you to Erica who was a calm and experienced teacher who made our daughter feel confident, helping her to pass first go.
Harry loved the lesson. Learnt loads and he passed his test straight after! Thank-you for your support.
Jordan was amazing . I would high recommend him as an instructor. I am a little bit older so i had some driving experience previously but Jordan was great when it came to finding my faults and guiding me in the right direction. IM happy to say that i passed my driving test on my second attempted with flying colours after a quick lesson to discover the little habit i had that stopped me the first time.
If you are a first time driver or have been putting it off for whatever reason like myself i highly recommend you book with Jordan.
I highly recommend Dan. Dan was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease behind the wheel. Their clear guidance and encouragement helped build my confidence and skills quickly. A fantastic experience from start to finish.
I can’t thank you enough Jordan!
After so many years not driving, you gave me confidence and helped me pass my PDA at first attempt!
You are an amazing teacher and person!
I couldn’t have done it without you!
Absolute legend. Jordan is very calm and professional. He has helped me more than I can say in developing my confidence as an adult learner without judgement or condescension. Can't recommend him highly enough!
Very patient and calm teacher. Enjoyable lesson all round.
Jordan is a very patient, methodical, and practical driving instructor. I now have my licence thanks to him :-)
Jordan taught me so much about how to feel comfortable in the car and the little things that would be missed if I hadn't taken lessons with him. I learnt lots of different skills that I developed, and as a result, became a better driver, and passed my driving test and with his guidance a safe driver on the road.
I got my P today Erica was a very good instructor helping me become stronger in driving and explaining well about the road rule. Thank you, Erica & Richard,
Thank you Jordan for your help and advice! Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. You helped me overcome my fear and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Hi Jordan
Thanks again for being such a great instructor for Will.
Tamara
Richard was a great instructor and I absolutely recommend him! I was very anxious about starting lessons, but he made me feel very safe and comfortable right from the start. He was very kind and patient throughout the lessons while also giving very clear feedback when I made a mistake about what I needed to do differently. He was very thorough when teaching me skills and techniques and let me know very clearly what would be in the PDA and what the assessors would be looking for. I passed my PDA on my first attempt! Thank you Richard!
Lennard stated he felt at ease with Richard who was calm and clear in his instructions. Len happy with positive feedback about his thus far accrued driving skills.
Dan is a good instructor.
Darren is a patient reliable driving instructor, highly recommended!
Highly highly recommend..my friend referred me to Erica after both her twins passed their test on the first attempt. My daughter loved her and also passed on the first attempt. Erica is very knowledgeable, supportive, kind and patient.
Richard is a great instructor. He is patient and understanding. He taught me all the skills I needed to be a good independent driver. I passed first attempt because of Richard. Thank you Richard!
A huge thank you to the team especially to Erica! She has so much patience when teaching and is such a lovely person. I always felt safe learning to drive with her. I will be recommending Erica to my younger sisters when it’s their time to learn to drive!
Patrick - had helped me significantly in obtaining my manual license as he is a very understanding, easy-going and overall a very good driving instructor.
I was going in for an Auto to Manual (C-A to C) conversion and he had provided learning tailored towards me. Early lessons he had provided a strong focused on how to operate a manual car while also provided essential road rules. As my confidence grew, he had provided a strong focus in overall road rules and refining my driving skills to met Department of Transport standards.
He is a 'newer' instructor, which is why he does not have many testimonials compared to other instructors on this business's website, but that means he has all the road rules fresh in his mind, provides excellent feedback and guidance throughout lessons. I highly recommend Patrick, thanks for helping me past First Go!!
excellent communicator, explains clearly with patience, gives extra detailed tips of correct methods, a kind and lovely instructor
Erica was very friendly and calm and made the lesson a pleasant experience.
Great company, easy to book. Darren was an understanding and easy to get along with instructor. Thankyou so much!
Darren is a great instructor. He has helped 2 of my youngmen get there licence. Very professional and also down to earth and gets along well with his customers. I will definitely recommend Darren to others.
Richard has been absolutely incredible the last few months and helped me to pass on my first test! I was super nervous about driving but he was very reassuring and friendly, and helped me build my confidence. I’m thrilled that I’ve passed but also sad that I won’t get to bother him for four hours a week anymore :( Cannot recommend him (and Sidekicks) highly enough.
Richard is an outstanding driving instructor. He shares his extensive knowledge with ease, creating a calm and supportive environment that puts even the most nervous first-time drivers at ease. His patience, adaptability, and ability to de-stress students make lessons both enjoyable and effective.
Richard has taught both of our daughters excellent driving skills, and thanks to his guidance, one even achieved a perfect score on her driving test. His dedication, care, and attention to detail shine through in every lesson.
We would highly recommend Richard to anyone wanting to learn to drive with confidence.
Thank you to Darren for your ongoing expertise and help! My son passed his test over a year ago under Darren’s guidance and now my daughter is taking lessons with Darren also. Thank you, Mary
My son felt comfortable with Lionel and enjoyed his lessons, he gained the confidence and knowledge to pass his manual test first time.
Driver Dan is a friendly, calm and knowledgeable driving instructor. We are grateful we were recommended him by friends. We appreciate all he did to help Declan pass first go. We will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
Erica is a very patient, informative and caring driving instructor. I passed my test the first time because Erica was with me every step of the way.
I would definitely recommend Erica as your driving instructor.
Very easy, explained very well
Lionel, thank you so much!
I have no hesitation to recommend you for manual driving instruction.
You not only taught our daughter Rebecca but her two older siblings as well.
Rebecca enjoyed her lessons with you and your calm, relaxed, encouraging manner and clear communication when teaching manoeuvres, road awareness and safety were outstanding. Rebecca felt she was well prepared when the time came to do the PDA.
It was also easy to book lessons and communicate with you in progress of her driving.
Wishing you all the best and thank you once again for supporting our family through their driving journey.
Ann-Marie
Richard was very informative and reassuring during the lessons which has helped me gain confidence for the test. I was able to pass with his guidance and teaching. Thank you!
The best instructor I’ve ever had! He taught me so so much and I wouldn’t of passed my test if k didn’t have him!
Richard, my son loved having lessons with you he said you guided him perfectly and straight to success , he would totally recommended Richard to anyone 100 percent to learn how to correctly and safely drive a vehicle KUDOS to you
Thanks Christi
Richard is amazing. Calm and patient. Both my sons had lessons with Richard and passed their PDA at first attempt. Highly recommend Richard.
Very kind, helpful and patient helping me learn to drive.
Thank you Lionel!
We will be forever grateful for Lionel helping out our family with not 1 but 2 kids getting their license. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to guide our kids with all the knowledge they require to be confident drivers.
Lionel you went out of your way with Luca, please know how much this means for us. Thank you!!!
2 down and 2 more to go… we will see you again next year!! X
Thankyou so much Dan. You came highly recommended by a friend whose son had passed first time and as of this morning our son passed early on his 17th birthday. He enjoyed his lessons with you and found the mock tests in the lead up to today really helpful. Next up will be our daughter in another year or so!!! Thanks again.
A very friendly instructor filled with a lot of knowledge ready to help you become a better and safer driver.
Erica was patient, experienced and very knowledgeable with me. i was extremely unprepared for my test that i was not able to cancel but erica really helped me in very short amount of time.
thank you!
Lionel - what can we say ! You are an absolute legend and we thank you for your time and patience with working with both our children. They loved working with you. You made it easy and relaxed for them both, and your training style is incredible. Both went from bot looking forward to doing driving lessons, to asking when the next “Lionel Lesson” was.
Thank you for everything. Both passed their PDA first time, in their own vehicle on a manual licence.
Richard’s calm and informative presence was always present during my son’s lessons. His knowledge of driving test routes and manoeuvres were so helpful for my son’s PDA. Richard as well as the Sidekicks team will always be highly recommended by myself. All three children have benefited from their lessons with Sidekicks and continue to adopt the safety skills learnt. Also as a bonus my driving has improved with a few tips as well. Thanks Richard
Lionel is brilliant. A great instructor and a wonderful person. We cannot fault Lionel and Sidekicks at all. A great driving school with amazing instructors who go out of their way to prepare young people as they embark on the driving chapter of their lives.
Very good and reliable instructor. Highly recommend Lionel.
Richard was amazing highly recommend Richard and the driving school. Very professional and has a real passion for his role in helping the kids. Do your kids a favour and book with vroom driving school! Can’t thank Richard enough.
Richard has guided 2 of my sons through their driving lessons/test within 12 months.
He is a fabulous instructor with fantastic teaching skills. Both boys passed first time and are safe and competent young drivers.
Thanks so much Richard - I highly recommend your services.
Lucy.
Thank you for all your support and advice on the journey to achieve P plates.
Richard was a very good instructor, taught me what I needed to know to pass the physical driving test. Used different methods to show me how to best park. Very thankful that Richard was my instructor.
The best driving instructing team, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thankyou
Richard was a calm and patient driving instructor. He dedicated time to provide valuable feedback and share tips for safe driving. His supportive demeanor made me feel at ease behind the wheel and while navigating the roads. Thank you so much.
Darren was great at explaining small issues and how they can become big issues. He quickly recognised areas that needed work and focused on these in the lead up to my son's test. He was very patient and gave excellent feedback that was easy to take on board and meant that my son had the necessary skills to pass his Manual test first time.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darren for anyone learning manual.
Richard is a great driving instructor. He made me feel at ease and was very patient. I've had a few driving instructors while learning how to drive and Richard was the one that helped me understand driving and parking the best. He is extremely kind and understanding. I got my P plates on the first go at West perth. Thanks again Richard!
Darren - what more can you say about this man. He has taught both my sons how to drive and is a true professional in every sense and cannot recommend him highly enough, Thank you.
Erica was amazing!! I'm a very anxious driver, and thanks to a few lessons with her, I was able to pass my driving test!! She is very patient and kind, while still providing constructive feeback, and I couldn't have passed my test without her!
I can't recommend my driving instructor-Richard enough! From the very first lesson, his calm and professional approach put me at ease. He really took the time to understand my needs and tailored each session to help me build my confidence on the road. His clear explanations and patient guidance made tricky maneuvers feel manageable, especially when English is my second language. I always felt supported, and his constructive feedback was super helpful. If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable and encouraging, you’ve found the right person. You won’t regret it!
best driving teacher ever! i have HIGHLY recommended her to all my friends on their Ls. passed my driving test first go with erica as my teacher????
Darren's a great teacher! He helped me learn about why we do things and improve. I passed my test first time!!
Richard is an excellent instructor. My daughter said he’s very calm and encouraging during lessons. He made sure she was ready for her test and she consequently passed first time. Highly recommended.
I can’t recommend Darren highly enough. He got my daughter through her manual test first time a week after her 17th birthday! Amazing!!
Many thanks to Richard for his much valued calm, kind and patient instruction combined with flexibility in pick up and drop off locations including work, school and home which was helpful and appreciated. My daughter was well prepared and passed first time.
Richard was really patient and understanding which helped build confidence. Thank you!
I just wanted to give a massive thank you to Richard! He taught my daughter how to drive with a lot of encouragement and patience! Today was her exam and she was very nervous but Richard was calm and supported her to successfully passing her driving exam.
He is a true Professional!
Erica was an amazing driving instructor, she was particularly great with helping me improve the finer technical parts of my driving!
Thanks Darren. My son passed his manual test first time. Darren is a great instructor, firm and practical. Always willing to be flexible to work around school times
Definitely recommend
Darren is very kind and my children have done really well with their driving.
I would highly recommend.
Honestly, I couldn't recommend anyone else. From my experience, Erica is the most patient and amazing driving instructor that could ever teach me driving. When I was doubting myself, Erica really helped me get my confidence back into getting my licence. She gave me very helpful tips and tricks that would help me with my driving! I passed my driving test in Kelmscott and I couldn't of done it without her help. Thanks a bunch Erica!!- Leila
She has a good teaching style of driving.
Lionel expertly guided my daughter through the manual license process. She passed first time with patient and professional advice.

My daughter used Erica and Dan and thought they were both great. Would highly recommend Sidekicks. Will definitely be using them again when my youngest gets her Learners next year.
Darren has been fantastic with my son and his learning to drive! Highly recommended!!
Darren was great I learnt so much about how to drive a manual and how to park!

Very patient and helpful, absolutely awesome team at sidekicks
Lionel you are an amazing instructor. Your care compassion and kindness you display to your students is faultless. You have taught Grace a lifelong skill . Thank you Lionel
Erica was awesome
Lionel provided a fantastic service for our daughter. His lessons were invaluable in developing her manual driving skills and decision making. She found him very approachable and he definitely has a special skill in communicating with teenagers! Thanks to Lionel, our daughter was confident in sitting her driving test, had the required skills and passed first time. Highly recommend!
My son was able to squeeze in a very last minute lesson before sitting his PDA.
Darren was great with him, covered what he needed to cover with time to practise a few tricky areas.
My son passed with confidence!!
Thankyou for your help and encouragement Darren x
She was amazing truly
Richard is an excellent instructor. He helped me gain confidence, as I am new in town and was very nervous about driving here. He was patient and very professional while doing so. I recommend Richard without hesitation.
Dan was amazing and really patient and such a calming presence on test day.
