Driving lessons here are $70 for one private hour: just you and your instructor, in a dual-control Toyota Corolla with a brake on the instructor’s side. Bring your Texas learner license, pick a time any day of the week, and when you feel ready, take the official DPS road test in the same car.
Before your first lesson
Texas asks for a learner license before any lesson behind the wheel. Here is the short path to your first lesson.
First-time drivers 18 to 24 must finish the 6-hour adult course. It is online and costs $75.
Apply at a DPS driver license office. Bring the card, or the temporary paper copy, to every lesson.
Book online or call us. Your first lesson starts somewhere quiet, then moves to busier streets as you are ready.
Prices
Every lesson is one hour, one-on-one, in a dual-control Toyota Corolla. Book at least two lessons, ideally on separate days so you can practice in between.
After your first lesson, your instructor tells you how many more you are likely to need.
Best value bundle
Go from practice to license with one booking. Your road test car is included.
From home, school or work, inside Arlington only. The UTA campus is within the free 5 miles.

Each lesson is $70. Adding the road test and our car to a 2 to 5 lesson package is $100. The 6 lessons plus road test bundle is $500, which saves $20. Want just one warm-up hour on test day instead? That is a separate single visit: a 1-hour lesson plus the road test in our car for $175.
Lessons + road test
These packages add the official DPS road test at our academy, in the car you practiced in. Online checkout adds a $1 booking fee and a card processing fee.

3 lessons + test · Some experience, and you want the basics covered properly.
4 lessons + test · Ready to move beyond quiet streets, or back after time away.
5 lessons + test · Real-world practice before testing.
6 lessons + test · Little or no experience, starting from scratch.
How we teach
You stay in each phase until you have control of the car, not until a set number of hours has passed.
Anxious about driving?
Maybe you have put off driving for years, or a family member tried to teach you and it did not go well. That is okay. Here is what changes when a patient professional teaches you.
“I was so nervous getting behind the wheel, but Mohammad instantly made me feel at ease with his kind demeanor and steady encouragement. Amazingly, he taught me how to drive in just two lessons. … he breaks everything down so clearly and makes sure you truly understand not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.”
Amber W., Google review, 2025“It was my first time sitting in the driving seat of a car and what I appreciated most was how encouraging the instructor was and how much confidence I gained with each lesson. I never felt rushed or pressured. I passed my driving test, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
Jyoti B., Google review, 2026On request
Ask for a female driving instructor when you book online or by phone. The lesson, the car and the price are the same.
“Shahana was my trainer, and she was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive throughout the lessons. She explained everything clearly, made me feel confident behind the wheel, and ensured I was fully prepared for the driving test. Mohammed, the owner, was also very helpful and accommodating with scheduling, he conducted my driving test.”
Sharanya N., Google review, 2025International drivers
If you already drive, your lessons focus on the Texas rules and road layouts that catch new residents out, and on the road test format.
Most new Texas residents with a license from another country take the DPS knowledge and road tests. DPS decides what you need, so check dps.texas.gov or ask us. We regularly help UTA students and drivers who are new to the US, and lessons can be taught in Spanish.
“as it’s my first time to drive here in the state of Texas I don’t have confident at first to drive, but now that I finish my lesson it’s now easy and have my license right and then…excellent!”
Mitchie V., Google review, 2025“Got my drivers license on the first try during my 6 lesson course. Amazing teacher and great teaching technique. He will correct you if you make a mistake and help you fix your mistakes to avoid future problems.”
