FAQ’s

We do two hours at a total cost of $150 per two hour lesson.

This will vary based on the student.  Each student will begin lessons at different levels of confidence. Each will have different strengths and weaknesses.  I firmly believe the first step to being a safe and decisive driver is getting the student to believe in themself.  This process varies with each student.

In some cases (not many), we offer pick up and drop off. This can vary greatly based upon where the student lives. For students who live greater distances away, it is often most efficient for the student to meet me at a predetermined place in the community (for example a coffee shop, library, etc). The location chosen will be based upon student skill level as well as geographic convenience. On occasion, the lessons can be planned to end at the students’ home.  Each case is looked at separately but we will be happy to work together to develop a plan that works for you.

Driving lesson routes take place in the following settings: residential, country, highway and city. Depending on the needs of the student, routes and driving environments can be repeated. Through 13 years of experience, we have learned that driving skills are mastered through repetition. In many cases a student’s driving route will overlap some of their previous driving environments. Once an environment is mastered, we will add complexity having the student handling various difficulties, such as driving during inclement weather, on country roads, during sunset, etc.

We try to meet all of the students needs that reach out to us. We see ourselves as driving schools that that reaches the broad areas of Michigan. Generally those coming from farther away will meet at a lesson starting point that makes the most sense.

Lessons must be paid for prior to the start of the lesson.  Accepted forms of payment will be cash or check. Checks should be made payable to Ron Zuverink.

At this time, cards or cash apps are not accepted.

We try to be proactive with scheduling so that the student receives a very consistent schedule from week to week. We find that an established weekly schedule is most conducive to student comfort and learning. In some cases scheduling will be done with both the parent’s and student’s input. In the case of some adult drivers, Life Drivers Training may also look for the input of another adult, such as a parent or a legal guardian.
