Michele Whitman

Driving Coach - Retired School Teacher

Michele has been a classroom teacher since graduating with a degree in education from Temple University in 1991. Her philosophy of teaching is to create relationships with her students based on mutual trust and respect. She believes that students must feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes as they improve their knowledge and skills, thereby building their confidence behind the wheel to become safe, responsible drivers.​

 

Michele knows what it is like to be the parent of a teen driver. She recently coached her own daughter to successfully obtain her driver’s license. Michele uses her experiences as both a parent and coach to give her students’ parents the tools they need to become partners in their child’s learning process.

What Our Students Say...

"Todd was such an awesome driving coach! He was patient, super easy to talk to, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. I learned so much and never felt stressed out during lessons. I feel confident and ready to get my license soon thanks to him! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"

 - Bailey C.

"Starting the driving lessons after tens of hours driving, Michele adapted to and expanded both my knowledge of the road and the tips/tricks of driving to help me become the safest driver on the road. Parallel parking became a breeze after Michele shared her secrets (that she will share with all her students). I couldn’t have had a better experience in learning how to drive."

- Joel K.

"Beyond phenomenal program if I could give more stars I would. I personally had my lessons with George and he goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable while your learning, and teaches you everything you need to know. George, you get like 10 stars, I appreciate everything you do, and hope other people take the opportunity to learn with you."
