Tallahassee's Leader in Behind-the-Wheel Driving Lessons
A driving school built for parents, by parents.
Burgess Driving School is Leon County's leading provider of behind-the-wheel driving lessons in Tallahassee.
​
We work closely with parents, teens and adult students to custom-tailor each driving lesson. The result is rapid improvement that builds on each previous experience.
​
Burgess Driving School is a rapidly growing family business that began in Illinois, and has now expanded to Florida. We opened the new Tallahassee branch with a goal to produce Florida's next generation of responsible drivers and make Leon County safer.
​
Let's work together to train Florida's next generation of safe drivers.
What We Do
We are Tallahassee's one stop shop for new driver training and education:
Behind-the-Wheel Lessons
We provide customized driving lessons with a friendly, state-certified instructor, in a modern car with a dual-control braking system that allows the instructor to stop the car if necessary.
Our lessons are focused on coaching new drivers to gain confidence and competence behind the wheel.
​
Discounts are available with lesson packages. Pick up and drop off are available for your convenience.
​
Driving Essentials Class
Our 6-hour driving essentials class includes 2 free behind-the-wheel lessons. Over the 3 day class, we focus on defensive driving habits that will protect the new driver in your family even when others aren't driving safely.
​
This class is currently waiting list only.
​
While the class is not required by the state, our fun and engaging curriculum goes above and beyond basic driver's education.
