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).

Testimonials

Just had my 3rd daughter complete her road test with The Next Street and have nothing but amazing experiences with all three of them. Bill is an amazing instructor and I hope that the company values what he brings to the kids. My daughter was extremely nervous and he was able to make her comfortable and confident of her abilities that made all of the difference. We really appreciate his help and could not say enough positive things about him and The Next Street! Highly recommend!

We’ve had a super positive experience with Next Street!! Online lessons were convenient, engaging and informative. Our driving instructors Don and Ari were patient and thorough in their instruction which created a great learning experience. Their detailed notes and comments were great and made sure my son knew exactly what he needed to improve upon. Ari went above and beyond after hearing how anxious we were regarding the lack of availability and the testing site being 1.5hr away and walked us through how to switch it to only a 15 minute away location and time!! Ari explained how the process works, expectations, step by step so I wasn’t so overwhelmed. Game changer!! Highly recommend!
