Worked for me, i first drove a car (on a beach in Wales) at the age of 13, and just as i was coming up to my 17th birthday, my dad put me on an intensive course every sunday in Tesco's car park

The problem with driving schools is they teach you to pass the test, not to actually drive properly
(fwiw, i never had one lesson, so maybe thats why i have this opinion)
