Jozlyn Parker testimonal
From Ian Handricks
Business Engineer and Educator
I have had the privilege of working with many talented and accomplished individuals throughout my career, but I can confidently say that Jozlyn Parker is in a league of her own. At just 19 years old, she possesses a level of intelligence, business acumen, and strategic foresight that far exceeds her years. Her maturity, focus, and ability to execute innovative ideas with precision make her one of the most extraordinary professionals I have ever encountered.
Jozlyn’s natural aptitude for business is nothing short of remarkable. She has an instinctive understanding of market dynamics and business strategy, enabling her to develop and implement initiatives that drive measurable results. Her ability to think critically, analyze trends, and adapt to changing circumstances demonstrates a wisdom that is rare even among seasoned business leaders. I have collaborated with hundreds of experienced professionals over the years, yet I have never met anyone with Jozlyn’s unique combination of intelligence, insight, and execution.
Currently, Jozlyn is managing The Auckland Driving Academy, a business she co-owns with her mother. Under her leadership, the academy is not just surviving but thriving in an industry that demands both operational excellence and strategic marketing. She has an unparalleled ability to connect with customers, develop trust, and position the business as the premier choice for driving education. Her meticulous planning, keen understanding of consumer behaviour, and marketing expertise have propelled the academy forward, making it a standout success in a competitive market.
But Jozlyn is not stopping there. She is about to embark on an exciting new venture—BRAIN SOLUTIONZ, a business we are launching together to provide advanced AI solutions for enterprises. AI is reshaping the business landscape at an unprecedented pace, and Jozlyn has quickly grasped the transformative potential of this technology. Her ability to understand and integrate AI-driven strategies into business solutions is truly impressive. She is not only embracing the future—she is helping to shape it.
Jozlyn’s work ethic is exceptional. She is relentless in her pursuit of excellence, always willing to put in the effort to ensure that every aspect of her business operations runs smoothly. Her attention to detail, strategic thinking, and ability to execute high-level plans with precision make her an invaluable partner and leader. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a rare ability to inspire and motivate those around her.
Beyond her professional achievements, what sets Jozlyn apart is her integrity, kindness, and unwavering commitment to success. She operates with a high level of professionalism and respect, treating colleagues, clients, and partners with the utmost courtesy and sincerity. Despite her impressive capabilities, she remains humble and eager to learn, always striving for growth and improvement.
Jozlyn Parker is an extraordinary individual with limitless potential. She is a visionary entrepreneur, an astute business strategist, and a true leader in every sense of the word. I have no doubt that she will continue to make an indelible mark on the business world, and I am honoured to be working alongside her.
For anyone considering working with Jozlyn—whether in The Auckland Driving Academy, BRAIN SOLUTIONZ, or any future venture—I can say with absolute confidence that you will be engaging with one of the most capable, driven, and talented individuals of this generation.

Camel has been an excellent driving instructor. After sitting on my driver's license for five years, I was scared to even try driving. Her patient and encouraging approach completely changed that. By the fifth lesson, I was driving confidently—a milestone I never thought I’d reach so quickly. Camel’s clear instructions and supportive demeanor made all the difference; I highly recommend her to anyone nervous about learning to drive!

Carmel is an amazing instructor. I had really amazing time learning and practicing with her. She was patient and helped me with my areas of improvement. She has been really supportive throughout my journey of learning driving. I recommend no one other than her as she knows exactly what you need to work on and spend time up skilling you rather than just taking hourly lessons.

From Suganeya Sivapalan

I highly recommend Carmel as a driving instructor. She is extremely professional, experienced, and truly dedicated to helping her students become safe and confident drivers. As a new mom, I often arrived at lessons with a lot on my mind, but Carmel always took the time to check in with me before each session, which made a huge difference. She tailors each lesson to how I’m feeling that day, and this personal touch helps me feel relaxed and at ease. Her approach not only improved my driving skills but also made me enjoy the process. Thanks to Carmel, I no longer feel the pressure of driving and have grown in confidence. Now, I feel truly ready to hit the roads!

From Elsie Dineen
Student
Carmel is a fantastic driving instructor. After years of frustration learning to drive and going through multiple instructors it was refreshing to have someone as patient and kind as Carmel. She helped build my confidence and has such a calming effect that gets you out of your head if you tend to over think and worry behind the wheel. Passed my restricted test on the second attempt. Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much Carmel!

From Zoe Maberly
Student
Carmel is the most incredible teacher! I never thought I could become such a confident driver. She made me a plan to follow in order to pass my restricted test (which I had failed the first time, and had been too afraid to drive again for a year afterwards). Carmel got me to a point where I feel confident and comfortable with my driving, and was a big factor in me passing my restricted the second time. If you have driving anxiety of any kind, she is the perfect teacher for you in overcoming that obstacle. Can't recommend her lessons enough!

Hi Anoop here .
I was so nervous before starting, but the intensive lessons completely changed that. My instructor Carmel was so patient and focused on exactly what I needed. By the time my test came, I felt confident and ready in as little as 3 days. They genuinely care about helping you succeed, and I’m so thankful for the support. I couldn’t have done it without them!

From Zan Warren-Kazor
Student
I used TADS when preparing to sit my full licence test. Carmel, my instructor, was excellent and great with communication. I organised lessons quite close to my test, but she was able to fit in multiple sessions beforehand. In particular, she was great at pointing out specific holes in my driving ability and helping me fix them in the moment. My first session helped me solidify my foundational skills, while the subsequent session was a mock test that allowed me to understand the testing standards. I would recommend TADS and Carmel in particular for anyone trying to get their restricted or full licenses.

From Michael Gwynne
Student
I started my driving lessons with a lot of nerves and little confidence. The thought of being behind the wheel felt overwhelming, but my instructor made all the difference. From the very first lesson, she created a calm and supportive environment where I could focus on learning without feeling pressured.
Her patience and clear explanations helped me grasp the basics quickly, and she was always ready with practical tips to improve my skills. Week by week, I gained more confidence and competence, mastering things like parallel parking, navigating roundabouts, and handling difficult situations while behind the wheel.
Now, I feel comfortable and in control behind the wheel, which I never thought possible when I began. Her encouragement and belief in my abilities made all the difference. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and support, and I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made thanks to her guidance. Highly recommended!

Carmel is one of the best Advance Driving Trainer. She is very patient and knows how to teach in different ways. Even though you have full license, advance driving training is must to learn more skills and be more safe on road.
Much recommended.
