My name is Richard Zimmer and I specialize in teaching beginner drivers. I am excellent with teenagers and also very good with nervous drivers. I am a 45 year old retired Navy veteran and reside in Irmo, near Dutch Fork High School, with my wonderful wife Cynthia and two teenage daughters. I enjoyed teaching my own daughters how to drive so much that I decided to do this for a living. |

Classroom: As required by S.C. law, all 15-16-year olds getting a driver's license must first complete a driver's education program consisting of a minimum of eight hours classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel experience with a certified instructor. Also welcome are17-18-19-year-olds and older beginners. Always check with your insurance company for applicable insurance discounts. Classroom training is conducted in a single session. The classes start at 8 AM and run 'til 4:30 PM and include a 30-minute lunch break. The classroom is comfortably furnished to keep the students' attention focused for the eight-hour class and I limit class size to fourteen students to make sure everyone gets the attention they need. Classes fill up fast so please contact me for a reservation. |

Driving: The six hours of behind-the-wheel training will be divided into three two-hour lessons, scheduled at your convenience.
