For adults, it is your choice to practice with a friend or a family member for the behind-the-wheel test. Upon my experience, adults training with a friend or a family member does not usually go well and thus you seek my professional help. It is more difficult to train an adult than a teenager based on these factors:
Lack of confidence
He or she got behind the wheel and a mishap occurred
He or she is from a different country and is not familiar with American driving rules
He or she doesn't know where to begin or what kind of instructor they need
Fear
It is important for both the student and the instructor to have a bond; this way the student will feel comfortable while driving. It is my job, as an instructor, to guide you on a step by step training process, technically and mentally. Once I observe the student, the process begins by progressing each lesson by understanding the techniques and important rules of the road. Our main goal is to make you a confident and safe driver. Once that has been achieved, it will be time to take the driving test.
My job is to get you prepared for this task within 2 to 4.5 weeks. How many hours it takes to complete this task is based on how often you practice. My adult students typically take from 6 to 30 hours of training. The rest is in the students' hands, to believe in your ability through my guidance.
