Very thorough, beginning to end breakdowns throughout lessons. Easy going and considerate, and genuinely worth the time considering the effort given towards the most important parts and relevancy of the lesson with tangible results, creates a big difference. Intentional with how the advice and information is presented even including use of graphs and drawn examples on a board with other needed explanations provided in real time, practical examples shown by having the vehicle in park beside the curve from different locations with available space for demonstrations and using the surrounding environment and varying distances to provide different viewpoints allowing for concepts to be more tangible.
Amazing teacher.
Went above and beyond providing me with extra information in order to help me pass on the first go.
Would recommend all day long to use Ricardo!
Richardo is great. Awesome patience and great instructor. Would recommend highly!
Ricardo is a fantastic instructor, the best I have driven with. He tailors his teaching to each student's particular needs. If a piece of advice doesn't land, he will explain it differently until it clicks. He is extremely patient and encouraging.
He really teaches you how to drive, not just how to prepare for the exam. So you feel comfortable in a wide range of scenarios, which is invaluable for a learner driver. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Great guy, taught me a lot of things and kept me calm throughout the drive
Very friendly and helped putting things in a way to help me understand certain things would recommend.
I had a one-hour lesson with my instructor just before my practical driving test, and it made a huge difference. He was calm, patient, and explained everything clearly, which really helped boost my confidence. He quickly identified the areas I needed to improve and gave me practical tips that I could apply straight away. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time. I highly recommend them to anyone.
I had a manual lesson with Ricardo two days before my driving test and he was extremely helpful and patient. I was pretty nervous for the lesson but his attitude and personality made me forget how nervous i was. He made sure i understood everything about a manual transmission and picked me up on anything which might make me fail my driving test. He gave me plenty of tips and advice which I kept in mind during my test which I passed, probably thanks to Ricardo.
Awsome lessons, good techniques, would 100% recommend. Past first go.
Absolutely an amazing instructor, very clear and knowledgeable. Helped me fix my mistakes and helped me pass my test.
Ricardo is an amazing instructor. Highly recommend him. Extremely helpful and clear with instructions.
Nothing but good things to say about Ricardo. He explained things in a very articulate, easy to digest way, especially reverse parallel parking.
Thanks for your patience and flexibility. You are great.
Very good instructor
Ricardo is hands down the best instructor I have ever driven with and it is a major pillar of why I was able to pass my Manual Test with flying colours. Highly recommend - extremely understanding, outgoing and patient. It's a shame I have now passed my test as I won't have more time to learn with Ricardo.
Great instructor with fantastic patience, can't go wrong with him!
Ricardo, he really taught me how to really drive properly and thanks to him I passed my test first try. After Every lesson with Ricardo I felt more confident and comfortable driving, there is simply nobody better teacher.
I started my lessons with Ricardo when I got my L plates, and it was a fantastic experience.Ricardo was patient, encouraging, and gave clear instructions that helped me build confidence behind the wheel. The lessons were always well-structured, and I felt prepared for the driving test. Highly recommend to anyone starting their driving journey!
Ricardo is an excellent coach / teacher, he reads his students and helps them correct and improve in a positive way. For me his knowledge about how vehicles move and work helped alot. Ricardo also adjusted to my disability by drawing pictures of manovers to assist my visual learning, he also explained how to do everything very well and simple. He is one of the best teachers I have had and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the future.
Perfect teacher, excellent teaching style, with great tips, highly recommended! He knows a lot and knows how to teach it.
Ricardo is an outstanding driving instructor who goes far beyond simply helping students pass their test. He focuses on building real confidence, strong habits, and sound judgment for everyday driving. Thanks to his approach, I felt properly prepared for the road, not just the exam.
Ricardo is an outstanding driving instructor who truly goes above and beyond. He’s incredibly patient and calm, and what I appreciated most is that he adapts his teaching to the type of student you are.He doesn’t use a one size fits all approach.
I didn’t have many chances to practice driving on my own, so most of my experience came from my lessons with the driving school. I also struggle with anxiety, and Ricardo helped me step out of my comfort zone and build the confidence I needed to drive safely and correctly. He explains things in a clear, supportive way, and when something is hard to understand, he’ll even use drawings to make it click.
Thanks to Ricardo’s guidance and encouragement, I was able to accomplish what I needed to do. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, caring instructor especially if you feel nervous or unsure behind the wheel.
Had a great time driving, Ricardo was a good teacher and had a great way of explaining the theory behind driving manual. Looking forward to my next lesson.
Ricardo turned all my mistakes into learning moments that I can now spot and fix on my own. There was never any judgment—just a genuine wish to help me get better and become a more confident driver. He made everything easy to understand and taught in a way that really worked for me. Ricardo explained everything so clearly and in ways I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
he was honestly the best driving instructor i’ve ever had so easy going and always kept me on my toes. i will forever be grateful for everything he taught me. im sad to not be driving with him anymore. i will recommend this driving school to anyone i know.
My driving instructor, Ricardo, was very helpful and friendly. We had a short 30 minute lesson before my driving test, and with his help and direction, I was able to adjust to the driving school vehicle very quickly and successfully pass my test shortly after. We practiced manoeuvres, driving techniques and discussed helpful tips to drive more safely. Can highly recommend this driving school and Ricardo as an instructor.

Good, nice and good teaching
Thank you for having one of the best driving instructors in your team. With his guidance and patience, Mr Ricardo taught me the skills to become a safe driver. My gratitude to him, for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. The lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciate his encouragement.
Mr. Ricardo deserves more than 5 stars.
Ricardo helped my daughter pass her exam first go!
Not only was he an excellent driver, his teaching abilities and positive attitude were second to none. He demonstrated a calm and encouraging nature which made both my daughter and myself feel immediately at ease. He gave very helpful tips for homework between sessions and before the exam itself. We will recommend Ricardo to everyone who needs a driving instructor in Brisbane! Thank you Ricardo!
Good instruction
Very helpful and understanding
Ricardo was the best instructor I'd had for driving and I'm so glad he was able to help me get my P's first try. He was always willing to put in time to make sure I knew how to drive correctly and was extremely knowledgeable about both the skills required for driving and how the test would run (down to the streets and intersections they were likely to take me through). His funny and charismatic attitude made learning to drive and correcting errors enjoyable and took away all monotony. I cannot thank him enough for his help!
Very excellent teacher, provides in depth lesson on how to effectively drive
Ricardo is amazing and was very helpful during all lessons and on test day. He helped calm my nerves and was patient with me throughout all lessons. He made sure that i understood and if I didn't, he'd come up with an alternative way to teach me so i could. I could not have done it without him.

Ricardo was fantastic. I’ve had my learners on and off for 27 years. I booked him for three lessons including one prior to my test all within a one month period to help me fix my bad habits and guide in the right direction to success.
He is very good at helping you understand where you are going wrong and teaching you how to navigate around obstacles. He sent me diagrams after lessons to help me practice in between lessons and I found that very helpful.
I passed my test on the first try and I will be using him again to help my teens when they require a driving instructor.
Thank you, Ricardo.
great instructor, went on the high way on my first lesson. helped me learn alot about driving and being confident on the road very good I recommend
Very good teacher, with a lot of patience, experience, and knowledge.
Ricardo has been amazing
I cannot rate Ricardo high enough. He is a fantastic instructor who can make you feel at ease while learning to drive. The lessons are really enjoyable while still being a great learning experience.

He is a great instructor and a big help to make me pass my practical exam on my first try for just a few hours of driving lessons. I would recommend him for all of you who want to learn how to drive safely in Australia roads.
This man is an amazing teacher, he helped me through the basics as well as my silly questions. He is easy going but definitely does the job. Best teacher I could have asked for.
Very good lessons, definitely recommend!
Very good lessons, my daughter passed her first test!
Highly recommended!
Ricardo is a perfect driving instructor if you feel anxious, he is caring, takes time to explain things and ensures that it is done in a way that everyone can understand. He has made me feel more confident in just one lesson than anyone else who has taken me driving, I highly recommend.
I truly believe I passed my test because of Ricardo.
He was very clear with his instructions and helped calm my nerves.
I will definitely recommend my family and friends to book with my driving school!
Thank you
It was a lovely lesson, he taught me new things I never learned and had a lot of respect.
I highly recommend Ricardo as an instructor. I have learnt so much more in my first lesson with him than I have compared to other driving schools I have been at previously. His instructions are very clear showing diagrams and pictures to help me deeply understand. He’s very patient, friendly(while still being professional), and overall a great instructor.
Great instructor, learned many manoeuvres in a short amount of time and can’t say how appreciative I am to have had Ricardo.
I highly recommend using Ricardo Shi. He is really good at not stressing out students and explains everything clearly. He is also really good at explaining manoeuvres for the test. Within 1hr of a lesson, he managed to explain lot of tips and tricks which led to Pass my driving exam. Again thank you so much my driving school and Ricardo.

Very nice and explained everything perfectly
I have found Ric to be an amazing instructor for my teenager. He has navigated very wisely in building her road awareness, orientation, self-confidence and required driving skills to help her sit for her Drivers' Test in October. My teenager has greatly appreciated Ric's wisdom in all these and areas concerning her getting her Driver's License. I can only highly recommend Ricardo Shi Herrera to be such a great influence in this arena and to see how well my teenager is responsibly 'correcting' my driving, helps me to know she is being taught very well for her driving future. Thank you so much Ric for going above and beyond what your role requires. You are such an excellent driving instructor.
One of the best
Fine tuning young children to be safe on the roads
Highly recommend him
Amazing instructor ! Helped me lots with getting comfortable with driving an automatic car and although I have learning issues he helped me succeed in those areas. He did an amazing job helping me to achieve my license! through all the manouvers and everything else. Also such an understanding guy, thank you :)
Ricardo is great. Very patient and makes me comfortable behind the wheel. Great instructor.
Patient and excellent.
Ricardo is definitely a reliable person, he has great attention to detail and picks up on anything that needs improvement. He has shown and demonstrated many methods and tips in every lesson and helped me passed my driving test! I really do recommend Ricardo he’s a very friendly bloke, nice to have conversation with and he really knows what he’s doing when it comes to driving.
I passed my test on the first go, thanks to Ricardo’s patience and clear explanations. Learning to drive was a breeze with his guidance. I Highly recommend him if your looking for an instructor or if your it’s your first time driving!
Awesome driving instructor, only taught me for a little while, but it is evident he really knows his stuff.
Highly recommend Ricardo. His personality instantly put my daughter at ease. Her skills were growing fast every time she had a lesson with Ricardo. He increased her confidence so much and gave her some valuable tips and hints. We look forward to seeing him again when we book in for more lessons closer to her 100 hours and preparing for her prac test. Thank you Ricardo
I had my 1st driving lesson with Ricardo, was a bit daunting at first but after a while it went well. Would highly recommend if you have a learning disability, always makes sure that you understand on the way..
Great instructor

This is the perfect driving school
This is the perfect driving school i was lucky enough to have RICARDO as my Driving Instructor - he is very kind and professional and taught me the basics and more technical aspects of Driving and paid particular attention to my weaknesses. If it wasnt for RICARDO I would not have passed my driving Test on first attempt.
It was really informative and comprehensive.
Patient
Calm
And great with young future drivers .
Great first driving lesson!! I learnt so much and am now confident enough to practice driving. Ricardo was so nice and I was very comfortable while asking questions.
Very friendly and took me through the basics and ensured that he was there to help me whenever I needed. Made sure I knew about mirrors, blind spots, safety and gave me a few tips along the way. A very good experience and instructor for my first driving lesson.
Cheers.
Had my first lesson ever and it was a great experience i learnt a lot of useful tips to use while driving and got help with any concerns, issues or questions I had, looking forward to the next lesson.
I absolutely loved my time learning with Ricardo he’s been extremely patient and tried his hardest to explain things in ways i would understand he’s super funny which helped alot i have just passed my practical today and couldn’t without him

Beyond your teaching skills, your kindness and approachability make you an exceptional instructor. Your unwavering support and belief in my abilities helped me overcome challenges. Your dedication and professionalism serve as a role model for aspiring drivers.

best and funniest person to have. Thanks Ricardo
Ric is fantastic. he’s very patient, very adaptable and very easy to get along with, he is absolutely the best choice for nervous drivers, and I’m very glad I’ve gotten the opportunity to learn from him.
Honestly a brilliant driving instructor who makes driving feel very comfortable and casual. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone with high anxiety or just anyone in general. Thanks so much Rick for giving me a hand
Ricardo was a very good help he taught me things that have made me so much more comfortable on the main roads and just made me so much more comfortable with driving and general
Ricardo has been my favourite instructor by far
Ricardo is the best driver instructor by far.
There was a period where I hated driving due anxiety.. but Ricardo went over and above to ensure that I was safe. And that I would grow confident and comfortable with myself, my ability to drive and the environment I was in.
When explaining any manoeuvres Ricardo broke each one down step by step even writing them down for me so I could reflect after lessons. His instructions were always perfect, clear and concise.
He was also very responsive, answering all my questions, queries and concerns.
But most importantly he made driving enjoyable again for me.
Im one grateful student.
Very friendly and very knowledgeable. Makes learning to drive easy and is great at explaining concepts. Thanks Ricardo.
Absolute legend really great instructor

You’re a legend!!
