Private Driving Lessons

Private lessons serve a crucial function in the community. It’s important to drive defensively on Maine’s roads, and a private lesson provides the one-on-one attention that students need before their road tests. They reinforce essential defensive driving skills, while allowing students to address their own concerns and practice their weakest skills. Private lessons build the confidence students need before heading out on their own.

A private lesson with a certified, state-approved driver education teacher starts by reviewing:

• How to use your eyes effectively
• Becoming familiar with a vehicle’s controls
• A review the rights-of-way laws
• Plus many other safe-driving techniques

As always, we encourage our students to ask questions and address any driving-related concerns or fears they may have. After all, it’s a private lesson, and we’re happy to tailor it to each student’s needs. So if you have a specific concern, please ask!

Some private lessons are focused on driving in inclement weather and the related skills of driving safely in difficult circumstances. We offer techniques to help each student feel confident— and competent— behind the wheel. In contrast to our competition, we have been offering private lessons to our students for more than thirty years. No other Maine driving school even comes close to either our experience or success.

The ultimate result is a self-assured student ready to approach driving with a new sense of control and reduced risk. We’re a small, local business, and we care about our communities. Our goal is to be the community resource for all driving matters.

We want to help restore an elderly woman’s self-reliance and self-confidence after a bad fall. We want to teach people with terrible road rage a better, more relaxed way. We want to help make life just a little easier for kids in group homes or foster care. And we want to make the roads safer for everyone.

Our goal is to offer the community a proven resource for all related issues associated with driving safety. Our mission is to provide every opportunity for driving safety and success, and we are proud of our program's success. Choose The Driving School for a lifetime of safe driving.
