As a parent instructor, you have a lot of responsibility riding on your shoulders. We are here to make that burden a little easier by providing you with an effective and convenient way to teach your teen the driving essentials that they need to know – and we do so in a way that helps them engage and learn best.
With I DRIVE SAFELY, you have a dedicated partner in educating your teen to be safe and responsible behind the wheel. We are here for you every step of the way, and you can count on our course to offer the most flexibility and convenience for both you and your teen – because you both deserve it.
Replacing your teen's standard classroom course with online learning methods gives them the edge in effective studying. With online lessons, your teen will never be pressured or rushed through their material. They won't sit in a room full of distractions, or struggle to pay attention to lectures and textbooks. Instead, they can study from the comfort of home, in a quiet and nurturing environment where you're there to coach them through.
- Study around their own schedule
- Set a comfortable pace for their learning style
- Adjust the lessons comfortably to their needs
- Log in and out from any computer, anywhere
- Take breaks whenever they need them
We believe that in order for your child to learn, they need to be engaged and interested in their lessons. With that in mind, our expert designers have created a course that helps your teen become an active participant in their driver's education.
Your teen will learn through text and multimedia lessons which include videos, animations, graphics, visual aids, and interactive teaching tools – all designed to facilitate speedy learning and long memory retention. This way, they will be able to absorb the information more easily, and use it when it comes time for their behind-the-wheel practice.
