On this basis, I would give a 5 star review. But, the contact/communication has been very bad. Emails flow through someone named "Jessie" who is quite slow to respond, sets short arbitrary deadlines, and since Mike unexpectedly cancelled a lesson on Dec 16, has not responded to numerous emails, a phone message, and even an question that I posted here two days ago about anyone having any recent contact with Shiftabove2. We offered to reschedule or take a refund and have not heard anything back in a month. This side, I would rate a 1 star. Again, Mike was excellent and if they would straighten out the communication issue it would be 5 star rating.

This review is for anyone like me, who recognized that learning to drive was going to be…read morechallenging and a lengthy process. After extensive research into programs accommodating adults with unique needs, I confidently chose Shift Above 2 Driving School. They stood out with positive reviews, innovative program approach, and the dedication of the instructor Mike, who seemed incredibly educated and experienced in working with people facing different types of challenges. When I initially started at Shift Above 2, my confidence level was basically zero due to frustrating and unsuccessful attempts at learning prior. After giving Mike background on my previous experiences and how i was now feeling about learning, he immediately established a comfortable learning environment by ensuring that the pace of the lessons were entirely dictated by my comfort level. In those first few sessions, I really appreciated that he was highly perceptive. ​Whenever I struggled with a maneuver or began to show signs of distress, he didn't push me. Instead, he would alter the current technique or introduce a different approach that was much better suited to my skill and confidence level. This adaptive teaching style was fundamental in preventing old feelings of frustration from resurfacing. Soon after, I found myself driving confidently in moderate traffic on main roads and performing K-turns and backing up with very little nervousness. My goal in the coming months is to prepare to pass my state road test with Mike's continued training.

Amalia is fantastic! She makes you calm and comfortable while correcting you and helping you in a…read moreway that is reassuring. She's honest and helpful and will follow your lead. If you are experienced or more comfortable, she will challenge you and talk more about technique. If you're nervous, she reads your body language and gauges your needs. Like any good teacher, she meets you where you are. She knows the system well and can advise you with certainty on the steps you need to take to get your license (when even the DMV isn't so sure). I highly recommend taking lessons with her! You can't go wrong if you're careful and listen attentively to her instructions. The person I spoke with on the phone was very responsive and pleasant to talk to. This made me feel relaxed and trust in the school. (I had a bad experience with a rude owner at another driving school and this was a welcome change.) The positive attitude of the receptionist and how she was flexible and understanding when I discussed my schedule was lovely. She actually called me back after I called and didn't leave a message and that was a nice surprise. The availability was great and since I had the following week off, I got to do all my hours in one week.

Amalia taught me almost everything I needed to know during my first lesson, including parallel parking and K turns which she made me do several times over until it was like second nature. She is very alert and will point out if something you are doing is incorrect, immediately teaching you the correct way afterwards. Amalia is very patient, kind and humorous, which makes the lesson very enjoyable and relaxing. She arrived on time and did the entire 2 hour lesson. I highly recommend Amalia!

When I called on the number online, a guy picked up and told me that the office has people only fixed days in a week.(okay then reflect it in your timings).I scheduled a session and on the day when I called to confirm it, they said I was double booked and rescheduled it for a later date. (They didn't charge anything in advance which is good) On the day of the session I called and said I would be about 10 mins late for it (I was willing to reduce it from my fixed time). The session was immediately cancelled for the day and I was told there is another student who is willing to learn. After this day I've called about 3 times only to be told they'll get back with the timings as they are busy. There is one thing to be busy and there's another thing to be professional. I was really looking forward to learn driving from here but alas that's not gonna happen.
