    Remember that parents can sometimes pass on bad driving habits without even realizing it, since they aren’t professional teachers. Here is a guide detailing the pros and cons of parent-taught vs professional driving lessons, and a helpful guide parents can use for better at-home lessons (+ tips for lesson setup).

  • Will I get feedback after my lesson?

    Yes. You'll receive a post-lesson report showing what you’ve mastered and what needs more work. This way, you know what to focus on and can have more productive lessons at home.

    Absolutely, each lesson is tailored to your current experience level.

  • Can parents participate in lessons?

    Parents are welcome during lessons, especially for teens. You’ll also receive a post-lesson report, guiding you on what to practice at home.

  • How can parents ensure their kid becomes a safe driver?

    As a parent, your involvement is the #1 safety feature in your teen’s driving journey. That’s why we offer the Parent-Teen Training Guide, a step-by-step resource designed to take the guesswork out of at-home teaching.
