Mohammad Mohsin Hassan

Owner · Driver Education Instructor · DPS-Authorized Examiner

Mohammad founded Arlington Driving Academy in 2022 and still teaches many of the lessons and gives road tests himself. Students describe him as calm, patient, and clear, the kind of teacher who explains not just what to do but why. A female instructor is also available on request.

“Everything was explained clearly, and the lessons focused on real driving situations, not just passing the test.”Jyoti B. · Google review, 2026

★★★★★ Lessons + road test
Mohammad is an excellent driving instructor, he was encouraging and helpful. The scheduling is very flexible as well, i had my first lesson and passed the exam all in one week (mon-sat)!
AAndrea M.Google review, 2026
★★★★★ Parallel parking
I let the man know I struggled with parallel parking and he suggested I take a single private lesson on parallel parking before my test to avoid failing. … I learned how to properly parallel park for the first time in my life and passed the test with flying colors.
EErica C.Google review, 2026
★★★★★ International driver
Very efficient and easy to book in. I was able to go for a drivers’ test within the day of booking. This was a great alternative to other places with long waiting periods.
SSean D.Google review, 2026
★★★★★ Nervous new driver
I was so nervous getting behind the wheel, but Mohammad instantly made me feel at ease with his kind demeanor and steady encouragement. Amazingly, he taught me how to drive in just two lessons.
AAmber W.Google review, 2025
★★★★★ Intensive lessons
Before I got in touch with Arlington Driving Academy, I had no confidence in my driving skills, and my steering control was a total mess. However, after just four days of intensive driving lessons with Mr. Mohammad, I became a much better driver.

Is there a 6-hour course for getting a driver’s license in Texas?
