Private driving lessons are 1-hour driving instruction periods for individuals to learn how to drive or improve their driving skills (different from the behind-the-wheel course). Lessons can be structured by the school to cover as many driving skills as possible or they can be customized. Do you feel comfortable on city streets but are anxious on the interstate? We can help!
We adhere to a strict policy of safety first. Therefore, instructors have the final decision on whether any lesson will include driving on the interstate. When requesting to work on interstate driving skills, you should demonstrate a complete understanding of basic maneuvers and driving on regular city streets (i.e., Mercury Boulevard or Jefferson Avenue).
45 Lesson students will cover interstate driving after 20 to 30 lessons are completed.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles does not include parallel parking on the road test. The only parking covered is perpendicular parking, driving in and backing out. If you want to work on parallel parking, it must be requested.
Driving lessons are only to learn new skills or to improve skills. The school does not give the road test.
If you are 18 or older, you must visit the DMV to take your road test. If you are age 17 and under, you must complete the Behind-the-Wheel Course to take your road test.
Individuals age 18 or older, who drive well enough, will receive
Individuals age 17 and under will receive a driving log showing the hours completed with the instructor and a student evaluation.
When you complete the application, you will provide the days of the week and the time of day you are available for driving. Once we have reviewed your application, you will receive an email with a tentative schedule or start date. We have lesson appointments available Monday through Saturday, in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Online Enrollment Steps
In-Person Enrollment Steps*
*Students are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you decide to come to the office during open hours instead of registering online, we cannot guarantee that the dates you are interested in are still available.
The 2 Lesson Package is the best option if you have driving experience but want a professional instructor to assess your skills before taking your DMV road test or work on a specific skill/maneuver.
If you have previous driving experience but do not feel comfortable with your current skill level, the 4 Lesson Package is the best option. Our instructors will work with you to get you the confidence and skill level needed to be a safe driver.
For most beginner drivers, 6 lessons are the most chosen option. Most beginner drivers can learn to drive well enough to be prepared for the DMV road test after 6 hours of practice (not a guarantee; every driver learns at a different pace).
If you feel like you need a larger package to learn how to drive, then 10 lessons may be the best option. Most students who have chosen this package were very anxious about being in the driver's seat.
Most parents choose the 20-lesson package because they want their teens to get driving practice with an instructor before they begin practicing with them.
We have created a special lesson package for parents who want an instructor to teach their teen (age 17 and under only) for the 45-hour driver's license requirement. There are three payment plan options available.
Prices are subject to change without notice.
