Private Driving Lessons

Driving lessons are done in 2-hour blocks and begin with the basics so that the instructor can develop a good understanding of each student’s experience, skill, knowledge and confidence. As lessons progress, the instructor will make sure that each core skill is learned before building upon it. Lessons will cover accelerating, braking, turning and parking maneuvers before graduating to lane choice, speed management, urban and rural driving, driving on hills, highway driving and mock road tests (if purchased).

    Alicia Polhamus is an incredible driving instructor! She was extremely kind, supportive, and helpful throughout my lesson. Her patient approach really built my confidence behind the wheel. I highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive!

    Just signed my daughter up for driving lessons through the 8 & 8 course. Just now learning that when it comes to the driving the students have to go all over CT for the driving lessons. Because not mentioned by either phone or online that students over the age of 22 are more restricted as to where and when the driving lessons take place. Stupid to think we live in Middletown, yet have to drive to Greenwich for lessons. Won't even get started on the fact that all the courses are broken up to where each has one thing needed as a whole but isn't included. Like driving lessons, and coursework along with the actual license test is included in one program each, so basically ala cart. Not happy with this set up as a whole and recommend you ask all the questions before signing up with them.

    Having Tyler S as a driving instructor WAS THE BEST!!! He had such a welcoming energy to him and I really liked his teaching styles and how I was able to learn vital pieces of information from him. I definitely know more about driving safety and the rules of the road because of him.
