Driving Lessons ​

Learning how to drive is an important step towards independence and it comes with much responsibility. Tiffany has a strong on-the-road program based on the principles of safety and knowledge. Our instructors follow a comprehensive driving lesson curriculum adjusting each lesson based on the individual needs. Students at different skill levels are equally welcome to sign up. Our instructors have experience working with beginners, students with disabilities or experienced drivers who just need some tips to do well on their road test.

If you have already completed the 5hr class or completed the application for prior lessons, you do not need to complete another one. 

• Also on the scheduling system, you choose the location where you want to meet the instructor and the duration of the lesson. Lessons can be 45-min long or students may book a double lesson with a duration of 90 minutes. 
   

• We recommend that students space out their driving lessons to give themselves time to practice the skills learned. In between lessons, you should practice for at least 4 hours outside of the school before your next lesson.

• Experience students can choose if they want to divide their programs in 45-min or 90-min lessons. We recommend that students with little or no driving experience book 45-min lessons to ease them into driving.

Find the email confirmation and click on “Change/Cancel Appointment” to choose a new date/time or cancel the lesson. You will not be able to change a lesson within 24-hours from the lesson time (48-hours for Monday lessons).
