How do I choose a driving instructor?

I need to choose a driving instructor for my son, but I’m not sure where to start. How do I know which person will teach him to be the best driver? I want to make sure he’s safe!

It’s great that you’re being so cautious as
your son learns to drive
! The best way to choose a driving instructor for your child is to check the reviews for each driving school in your area. Start with the best-reviewed locations and work your way down.
Keep in mind that some instructors won’t have availability immediately, so you might not be able to score the top-reviewed location. That’s okay! As long as the school is well-reviewed, you’re off to a good start.
If you want to make sure that the instructor will be a good fit, you can request to chat with them first to get a feel for their teaching style, the kinds of hours they can offer for your son, and whether or not their personality would mesh well with your child’s.
When your son is learning to drive, it’s important that you have a good car insurance policy in place to keep him safe. The
