Instructors

Owner and operator Chelsea Hames (she/her) has been a driving instructor in the Victoria and the Cowichan Valley areas since 2018.

Using a heart-centered approach to her teachings, Chelsea brings a unique, caring style to the car. She has learned how important it is to teach students to stay safe by being present, aware and assertive behind the wheel.

”Many people struggle with anxiety when it comes to learning to drive. I’ve struggled with it myself in the past and I understand how nerve-wracking it can be. It is really important to me that my students feel safe and at ease in the car. It is very possible to have fun while learning how to drive in a supportive, judgement free environment.”
- Chelsea Hames

 

“Chelsea is an amazing driving instructor! I had nothing short of a fantastic experience in the eight lessons I had with her. She was very clear and concise with the information she gave me as I drove, what to expect on the test and how to best prepare. I was in a terrible car accident when I was younger that caused me never to want to get my license. Chelsea helped me get over my fears of driving and eased all of my concerns. With her instruction not only was I able to get behind the wheel and feel comfortable but I passed my road test first attempt! I can’t begin to thank you enough Chelsea, for everything you have done and taught me!”
