Private Drive Lessons

1 Lesson - 90 Minutes

Driving lessons are 90 minutes for each lesson. We have found that new drivers become tired after learning new skills, and keeping the drive lessons less than two hours is better for the student.

Teen Driver Education

No two teens are alike!

Most teens want to learn to drive but like everyone, they have different needs. When it comes to driving instruction, they need options. It’s important to families and driving schools to teach at times and in ways that meet those needs.

Some things to consider when choosing a driving program for your teenager:

  • Your student's learning style
  • School schedule
  • Extracurricular clubs
  • Sports schedules
  • Religious obligations
  • Family schedules
  • Part-time job

The Traditional Approach

  • 30 hours of required classroom seat time
  • Weekly driver education classroom time for 8 to 10 weeks
  • Six two-hour driving lessons with two student drive partners
  • Makeup time required if you fall below 30 hours
  • Both students must attend lessons, or they have to be rescheduled

A Self-Directed Approach to Driver Training

  • You can begin your course as soon as tomorrow - you are a class of one very important student
  • 30 hours of classroom work, delivered as an online, interactive course
  • Students can complete the online lessons at their own pace
  • Driving lessons are solo drives with an instructor
  • We will try to set up driving lessons to fit your student's schedule.
  • Please NOTE: the last lesson of the day will begin at 3:00 pm if you cannot make this work please contact us to work out a different schedule. We may not be able to accommodate everyone.
  • We do not offer driving lessons on weekends.
  • We have installed a two-way dash cam in each vehicle that is always in operation during drives for safety
  • A parent is always welcome to ride along during driving lessons
