Teaching your teenager how to drive is a very important task. If you have chosen or are required by law to have your teen enroll in a driving school, then you want to ensure your child is safe and learning from the best. When choosing a driving school and an instructor, consider asking the following questions.
- How long have you been a driving instructor?
Establish your driving instructor’s qualifications to determine if he or she is experienced enough to teach your teenager. Ask how long your teen’s driving instructor has been employed at that specific driving school and when they received their license. Find out where the driving instructor learned how to drive and what driving techniques they consider their strengths.
- Do you give road instruction, classroom instruction or both?
Driving schools employ several different kinds of driving instructors. The two main types of driving instruction take place on the road and inside a classroom. Sometimes one instructor will work in the classroom while several other instructors conduct the driving instructions. If it makes you feel more comfortable, request to meet with all of the instructors your teen will be interacting with. Also, find out if the driving school uses online or interactive classroom instruction.
- Do you use the driving school’s car for the road instruction?
The vehicle used for road instruction typically varies by the driving school. Some schools provide their own vehicles for your teenager’s instruction. Others allow your teen to use the vehicle he or she will be driving so that he or she will become accustomed to operating it safely. Talk to your instructor about using your vehicle if you can.
- What does your driving curriculum entail?
Some driving schools have an extensive driving curriculum while other use driving manuals. Ask to browse the materials and discuss any questions with the instructor.

The moment teenagers turn sixteen, all they can think about is receiving their driver’s licenses. Some parents choose to instruct their own teens behind the wheel. Others are required by state law to put their teenagers through a qualified driving school. Keep in mind these factors when evaluating a driving school for your teen driver.
Ask Questions
One of the best ways to evaluate a potential driving school for your son or daughter is to ask the right questions. Call several schools and record their answers to your inquiries. Before making any phone calls, make a list of your questions and standards that you want a quality driving school to meet. How many hours will enrolled teenager spend driving? What driving subjects does the school cover?
Visit a Class
After narrowing your list of driving schools to a select few, take the time to visit the schools. Many driving schools accompany their road instruction with classroom teaching. Ask the school if you could sit in on a class to observe the instructor, the students and the driving techniques being taught. Visiting your teen’s prospective driving school will help you be comfortable with your child’s driving instructions.
Talk to Other Parents
Another way to find a quality driving school for your teenage driver is to talk to other parents. They can help you determine if a driving school is reputable. The parents of your child’s friends with older siblings may have already found a driving school they prefer. These parents may also help you to avoid certain driving schools. Regardless of a parent’s recommendation, make sure to call and visit the driving school for yourself so you can make your own decision.
