Parent Taught Online: A Better Experience

We founded Coastline to modernize the driving school. Here's how we help parents support their teens to be safe and confident drivers for life.

Even the most experienced drivers can benefit from revisiting the rules of the road. With your own driver’s education in the rearview mirror, a comprehensive review of what to do - and not to - when driving is essential to supporting your teen’s driving journey.

From permit restrictions to the road test, the teen licensing process can be full of confusing potholes. Our parent-taught course gives a broad overview of what to expect at each stage of your teen’s graduated licensing journey.

Not sure how to teach parallel parking? Is your teen struggling with staying centered on the road? Coaching driving skills can be difficult for an experienced driver - after all, when we’re on the road, we “just know” how to do things! But when you’re with your teen in the car, you’ll need to think like a driving instructor. Our course includes Coastline instructor tips and strategies to help you help your teen develop their skills behind the wheel.

Our Parent-Taught Course is completely self-paced! Learn when it’s most convenient for you, whether it’s on your mobile device, tablet, or laptop.

Text, images, and videos allow you to learn through a variety of modalities and choose what works best for you!

Everything was perfect.

What I enjoyed most about the course was the unlimited test-taking attempts. It really took the stress off, and I was able to more thoroughly understand the rules.
