Meet Cara Parker

I have lived in Tillsonburg and the surrounding area since 1969.  I attended Glendale and Annandale High Schools.  Most of my family still lives in Tillsonburg.  My Father taught at Glendale for 26 years.  I made the decision to go back to school in 2009 and received my in-vehicle instructor’s certification in March of 2009 from Centennial College.  Soon after, I returned to Humber College and received my in-classroom instructor’s certification in January of 2010.  I was employed as a driving instructor from then until 2014.  I decided to open my own business since 2014.

I am a Mother of 2 children.   I have already been through the driver training process with my children.  I am very passionate about my career and take it very seriously.  I am thrilled by how much of an effect I have on so many students’ lives.  I am rewarded daily, with stories relayed back to me from my students and how much I changed or helped them with their driving and their future.

I look forward to working with many more students of all ages.  I am always excited to pass on my knowledge and experience with defensive driving skills and safe driving and control techniques.

Anna Fehr

In-Car Instructor

Anna Fehr, Parker Right Driving Academy In-car Driving InstructorMy name is Anna, and I’m a proud mother of two — a son and a daughter — whose lives keep me grounded, motivated, and grateful every day. I’ve had the privilege of calling both Alberta and Belize home, and my journey through those places has shaped who I am today. In Belize, I taught at a private elementary school, and I later in Alberta, worked as a clerk at a car auction — two roles that strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and love for helping people grow. Fluent in both Low German and English, I bring a warm, approachable, and culturally diverse perspective into everything I do. After moving to the Tillsonburg area, I met Cara at a job fair, and in that moment everything fell into place. We connected instantly, and the way she spoke about the driving-instructor profession lit a spark in me. I knew right away that this was the next chapter I was meant to pursue.

Today, I absolutely love my new career as a driving instructor. The gratification I feel when I see a student gain confidence, progress through challenges, and ultimately succeed is unmatched. I teach with kindness and care, grounded in honesty, precision, and just the right amount of firmness. I’m easygoing, calm, hardworking, compassionate—and I bring those qualities into every lesson I teach.
Helping students become safe, confident drivers isn’t just my job; it’s something that truly excites and fulfills me every single day.
I LOVE MY JOB!!!!”
