Our driving school serves Miami Shores with licensed instructors available 7 days a week. We pick you up and drop you off anywhere in zip codes 33138, 33150, and 33161, including neighborhoods along NE 2nd Avenue, Biscayne Boulevard, and NW 95th Street. Licensed by FLHSMV, we teach both teens and adults with dual-controlled vehicles for your safety.

Why Choose Our Miami Shores Driving School

Our instructors know every street in Miami Shores and teach you where you'll actually drive. All vehicles have dual controls, so the instructor can brake or steer if needed. We offer bilingual instruction in English and Spanish for students who feel more comfortable learning in their native language. Lessons run Monday through Sunday, including evenings and weekends, so you can fit training around work or school.

Driving Lessons Miami Shores: What You Learn

You'll practice parallel parking on actual Miami Shores streets where parking spots are tight. We teach you how to handle heavy traffic on Biscayne Boulevard during rush hour, not just quiet residential roads. Students learn to merge onto I-95 from local entrance ramps, which many new drivers find scary.

Your instructor takes you through three-point turns in real neighborhoods, not empty parking lots. We practice left turns across traffic on busy intersections like NE 2nd Avenue and 95th Street. You'll learn defensive driving techniques for dealing with aggressive drivers who cut you off or tailgate.

Every lesson includes backing up safely, checking blind spots, and maintaining proper following distance. We teach you how to navigate school zones near Barry University when the speed limit drops to 15 mph. Rain driving skills matter in South Florida, so we don't cancel lessons when it's wet outside.

Our Driving Instructors in Miami Shores

πŸŽ“

Licensed Teachers

Every instructor holds a valid Florida teaching license and has taught hundreds of students

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Local Expertise

They know which streets appear on road tests at nearby DMV offices

😊

Patient Approach

Our teachers stay patient when you make mistakes because everyone stalls, brakes too hard, or forgets their turn signal at first

Instructors grew up or lived in Miami Shores for years, so they understand local traffic patterns. They'll show you where drivers commonly run red lights or make illegal U-turns.

Bilingual instructors help students whose English isn't perfect yet understand instructions clearly.

Driving Lesson Packages & Pricing

Package Name Total Hours What's Included Price
Starter Package 4 hours 2 two-hour lessons, pickup/drop-off, basic skills training $180
Standard Package 6 hours 3 two-hour lessons, parallel parking, highway practice $260
Advanced Package 10 hours 5 two-hour lessons, full road test preparation $420
Road Test Ready 12 hours 6 two-hour lessons, test route practice, final evaluation $490
Single Lesson 2 hours One two-hour lesson, good for specific skill practice $95

All packages include free pickup and drop-off within Miami Shores. Single lessons work well if you just need to practice one thing like parallel parking or highway merging.

What You Need Before Your First Driving Lesson

πŸ“‹ Required Documents

  • βœ“ Valid Florida learner's permit
  • βœ“ Proof you completed the 4-hour TLSAE course
  • βœ“ Government-issued ID (passport or state ID card)

⚠️ Important Notes

  • β€’ Students under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign enrollment paperwork
  • β€’ Wear closed-toe shoes (flip-flops or sandals make it hard to feel pedals)
  • β€’ Leave heavy bags at home (back seat needs to stay clear for safety)

TLSAE Course Requirement in Florida

Florida law says every first-time driver must complete the 4-hour Drug and Alcohol course before getting a learner's permit. The course teaches you about drunk driving laws, substance abuse dangers, and traffic safety rules. You can take it online or in person at approved schools throughout Miami.

πŸ’°

Course Cost

The course costs between $25 and $40 depending on which provider you choose

πŸ“

Offers good practice for two-lane roads with parked cars on both sides

πŸ›€οΈ Highway Practice

Teen Driving Lessons in Miami Shores

πŸ‘¦

Better Learning

Teens learn better when instructors explain things simply and don't yell when they make mistakes

🏫

School Pickups

We pick up from Miami Shores schools right after classes end, so you don't need your parents to drive you

⏱️

50 Hours Required

Florida law says teens need 50 hours of supervised driving practice before taking the road test, and our lessons count toward that total

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§

Progress Updates

Parents can request progress updates after each lesson to see what their teen learned

⚠️ Weekend morning slots fill up fast with high school students, so book at least a week ahead.

We teach teens how to avoid common mistakes like speeding in school zones or texting at red lights.

Adult Driving Lessons Miami Shores

Many adults never learned to drive growing up or moved to the US from countries where they didn't need a car. Our instructors don't judge you for being nervous or taking longer to learn. We offer evening lessons for adults who work during the day and can't take time off.

πŸ”„

Refresher Courses

Some students haven't driven in 10 or 20 years and need a refresher before getting back behind the wheel

πŸ“

Failed Road Test

Others failed their road test once or twice and need help fixing specific mistakes

⚑

Faster Learning

Adult students often learn faster than teens because they focus better and ask questions when confused

Road Test Preparation

The final 2-3 lessons before your road test focus on the exact skills examiners check. We practice parallel parking until you can do it in one smooth motion without hitting the curb. Three-point turns need to be completed in one forward and one backward movement with no extra adjustments.

βœ“ Test Routes

Students drive the actual routes used for road tests at the North Miami Beach DMV office

You'll learn where examiners commonly ask you to make lane changes or right turns

⚠️ Common Mistakes

We point out spots where students typically make mistakes like rolling through stop signs or turning into the wrong lane

πŸ“ Road Test Locations

North Miami Beach Office

16950 NE 6th Avenue

Hialeah Office

2121 W 60th Street

Both locations book up 2-3 weeks in advance, so schedule your test date early. Bring your own car to the test or ask about rental options from local driving schools that offer vehicles for the exam.

Lessons run as early as 8 AM and as late as 7 PM depending on the season and daylight

Each two-hour lesson includes pickup time, driving practice, and drop-off

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lessons do I need?

Most students take 6-10 hours total, but it depends on your starting skill level. Complete beginners usually need 10-12 hours. People who drove in another country might only need 4-6 hours to learn Florida traffic laws and road test skills.

Do you pick me up at home?

Yes, we pick up from any address in Miami Shores including homes, apartments, and condos. Just give us your full address when booking. We arrive in the training vehicle, so you don't need access to a car.

What if I need to cancel?

Call at least 24 hours before your lesson to reschedule without penalty. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice lose that lesson unless you have a medical emergency. No-shows without calling forfeit the full lesson cost.

Can I use your car for the road test?

Some instructors allow students to rent the training vehicle for the road test at an additional fee. You must complete at least 6 hours of lessons with us first. Check when booking your lessons if you'll need a car for your test date.

Do you offer weekend lessons?

Saturday and Sunday lessons run from 9 AM to 5 PM. Weekend slots fill up quickly, especially in summer when students are out of school. Book weekend lessons 10-14 days ahead to get your preferred time.

Are your instructors bilingual?

Several instructors speak fluent Spanish and can teach entire lessons in Spanish. Let us know when booking if you prefer instruction in Spanish. Bilingual instructors cost the same as English-only instructors.
