Please register for one of the below Private driving lesson packages if you are in need of driving lessons, but are NOT required to take full driver ed. If you are under 18, you will be required to take the Teen Drivers Ed Classes.
If you are a Non-US Citizen, please review these requirements before signing up, as you may be required to take the full classroom instuction (which we do NOT currently offer for adults over 21).
Private driving lessons will typically be available on Mon - Fri mornings anywhere from 8am until 2pm depending on instructor availability week to week.
Private driving hours are drop off and pick up from our classroom in Amherst. We may be able to pick up and drop off at home, but it would have to work in our schedule, and there is an additional fee of $50 - $60 for this service, depending on where you live.
Once registered, please email us your availability, as that is the best way to reach us to schedule the lessons.
Sincerely,
1st Gear staff
Take a two-hour private driving lesson with a certified driving instructor. These hours are based on your specific needs. We can a review before you test (or re-test) at the DMV, take you out for a review and recommend areas to work on, or you can request to work on specific skills (i.e. parking, city driving, or precisions turns). This is great if you are a past student who may need a few extra hours of driving practice.
This is also a good option if you may need tutoring for the written test.
