Mission Statement
Our mission at My Tutor Driving School is to offer quality driver education to every student who walks through our doors. We wish to continue the legacy that Mary Jo Foerste, visionary behind My Tutor, began over 30 years ago. We want our students to be happy and thoroughly confident in their future endeavors, and we hope that My Tutor will make a positive impact on their educational journeys. We believe all children (and adults) can learn in a warm, nurturing environment where they feel safe. My Tutor can provide that for your child.
