Teen classes are a mixture of classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. The classroom portion is 30 hours of PowerPoint lecture, videos and guest speakers. The driving portion is either 6 or 8 hours (depending on which package you pick) of behind the wheel instruction. We do not believe that simulators or backseat observation should take the place of actually driving on our roads. We are a Tennessee state certified Driving School and therefore can administer the Tennessee road test to all students that meet age and residency requirements.

I can not state enough how much the instructors at Pitner Driving School did for me. As a person who suffers from intense anxiety, it took me nearly 30 years to get my drivers license. I took lessons with multiple companies and in several different states as I moved throughout my life. I had multiple instructors over the 9 months that I took private lessons at Pitner, and each one made me feel so safe and comfortable! I've recently taken and passed my road test exam and could not be more grateful for my time with Pitner Driving School.

Anxiety had me on the first day but thank God Mr. Pitner changed all that for me. He was very patient and explained everything I needed to know. I didn't know I could go on the road that early with such little experience but he made it happen. It boosted my confidence and now I look forward to all my classes with him. I must say if you are looking for a driving school with patient, professional and knowledgeable instructors, Pitner is the school to be!

Driving with Mr. Pitner was a wonderful experience. I was able to learn all the basics of driving in one lesson. He went over my weaknesses and worked with me to correct them. If you are not sure in certain techniques, He continues to go over that area until you get it. In critical moments, Helps you make decisions on your own when turning in traffic. Overall, I enjoyed working with Mr. Pitner and will highly recommended you come and give it a try!

Mr. Pitner is an exceptional driving instructor! I learned so many different things and he explained things in a way that made perfect sense! Before my driving lessons with him, I lacked the confidence I needed to be out on the road on my own. However, now I've gained the confidence I needed and I'm excited to get behind the wheel. This is definitely the best driving school. If you're thinking about it, definitely try it out!

My 16 year old grandson just completed driving lessons with Pitner Driving School. His driving skills have improved considerably, as well as his confidence. I was given continuous progress reports. I now have a much better sense of what my grandson actually knows, which translates to a better peace of mind for me! It was an overall great experience.

Courteous and professional instructors. I tried to teach my son to drive but it was difficult to get him started. I used the techniques I used to teach my older son. I decided to call Pitner. My baby was driving after just the first lesson. They provided updates after each lesson and told my son what to work on for the next time. Final lesson they provided a summary and what we should continue to work on with him. Money well spent. Highly recommend.

Before I took the Pitner Driving School class I was a very uncomfortable driver and did not enjoy it. However, after completing the course, I now love to drive and am very comfortable at the wheel. All of the driving instructors were very interesting and made it an all around pleasant experience. Student As a parent of a fifteen year old I am so grateful for the time my daughter spent with the Pitner driving team.
It has made her a more confident driver and that is peace of mind for me! It was a very positive experience and I think that driving with different instructor's is valuable because my daughter got many different perspectives on being a "big picture" driver. Thanks so much Shannon Pitner and staff. We will definitely refer others to you!.Parent

My instructor was Shannon Sr. I took the adult private lessons. In 3 lessons I went from barely knowing how to steer and operate a gas pedal to confidently feeling as though I can do anything on any road, safely. In the beginning 15 or so minutes I was skeptical about the class as a whole. I felt it was moving much too slow and was worried that we may have made a mistake, however I could not have been more wrong. Mr. Pitner was only getting a feel for my skill and confidence as well as giving me time to get accustomed to the car.
The moment that he felt I was capable and knew I was ready, I was on the road. Even so, he was always ready to brake or make quick adjustments to the wheel when I made mistakes. I think myself to be a somewhat anxious person, but between his jokes, thorough explanations, and BEAUTIFUL hand-drawn diagrams, what is normally a very nerve-wracking experience was made easy for me.
Throughout his teaching, you really get a sense that you are working with a true professional and not just some guy with a car that has two brakes. There's some things that only someone who has been doing this for years will think to explain to you. Don't expect a boring instructor, and you won't ever be able to get his visual metaphors out of your head. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone I know, and it was worth every penny.

Great experience! I signed up for adult driving lessons and was able to start the next day. I had very little road experience before but Mr. Pitner senior is an amazing instructor and artist as it turned out. We were able to accomplish all the major aspects of driving in 6 hours! He noticed and made sure I practiced the areas I was weak at and made even parallel parking easy. Overall, the lessons were informative, relaxed and fun. Thank you.

I've had the fear of driving all my life, suffered from a bad accident as a passenger 20+ years ago and could never find the courage to sit behind the wheel. Finally found the perfect driving ED that changed my life. I now have my drivers license and can't believe how confident I am behind the wheel. If you have a teen or have gone through trauma CALL THEM!! They are the nicest people and will make you feel so comfortable but most importantly you'll get what you paid for "real driving time" and learn safety driving.
