Mani Lama
Instructor
In my previous career, I worked as a head chef in a very busy restaurant for over 15 years. This experience transforms well into my current role as I had to manage different things at the same time, while also keeping an eye for detail and following specific processes to achieve the best results. I started as a driving instructor recently, with my focus not just on teaching people to pass the driving test, but my first preference is to coach people to be safe and aware of their surroundings, as well as how important your behaviors are to become a safe driver. This requires a strong base of driving skills and understanding of the road rules. I love this job because I enjoy meeting new and different people every day. I have always enjoyed my work because I have new experiences every day, dealing with different situations every second. I like the challenges this presents, and it is rewarding to see my learners handle new situations with ease and pass their driving test on the first go. I am from Nepal, and I speak English, Nepali, Newari, and Hindi.
