My brother has been learning to drive lately. His driving lessons are very expensive, so he bought a steering wheel and driving stimulated game to practise at home. After some practice, his driving skills have improved and was praised by his teacher! I never thought that a home-used driving game would help real driving.

See above. In BrE, the person who teaches you to drive is a "driving instructor". We never say "driving teacher".
Make sure you study the difference between "simulate" and "stimulate".

In American English it's also driving instructor. However, the instructor teaches you how to drive, so I couldn't argue with your word (teacher).

Not bad!
