Meet Colleen Johnson

Local Roots, Professional Experience

Born and raised in the Porirua area, I’ve called Titahi Bay home for most of my life. My journey as a professional driving instructor began in 2016 when I earned my I Endorsement qualification. In 2025, I launched my own business, CJ Driving Limited, bringing a personalised, community-focused approach to driver education.

Proven Community Dedication

Before starting my own company, I worked as a drive coach with Partners Porirua, guiding learners of all ages through the process of earning their restricted and full licenses. For the past four years, I have also served as the dedicated driving instructor for the Drive programme at Mana College and Porirua College.

A Tailored Approach to Learning

With a background as a qualified primary teacher, I adapt my teaching style to suit each individual’s unique learning needs. Earning a driver's license is a major life milestone, and I take pride in making that journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Whether you are getting behind the wheel for the very first time, preparing for a test, or simply wanting to polish your existing skills, I am here to help you succeed.

Ready to get started? Let's take the first step toward your independence on the road.
