A traditional driver’s ed approach is the best way to impart the critical and safe aspects of driving. Having an instructor in a classroom setting sets both a serious tone and a great learning experience.
We hear from many parents who view the classroom as being the best way to show the seriousness to teenage drivers.
All new drivers will find better value by taking a traditional approach. Our licensed educators are also teachers by day, and they have the experience to tackle an individual student’s learning styles.
Absolutely! Anyone who has the capability to read road signs and understand traffic laws and are capable of in-car instruction are capable of driver’s ed.
If student is capable, but needs a slower pace, then an online experience may be the better option than a traditional approach.
Yes, when you take our traditional class we offer flexible payments. Pay as little or as much as you need at a time until paid in full.
We won’t release the paperwork to get a permit until the class is paid in full.
Students will need a device to be used in class. Devices will be used for quizzes & reviews. Off task usage may lead to consequences.
No cellphone use while in the car on a lesson.
