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.

Had a lesson at 10:30am. The Instructor was super grumpy and standoffish. Did not introduce himself. Was very short with me. During the lesson I had to force him to explain things to me by continuously asking questions. Even then I would get very terse answers. Mind you, some people might be too shy or nervous to ask questions (especially teens), but if I hadn't pushed this guy to explain I would have walked away with absolutely nothing. The only time I heard him laugh was when he was making fun of a mistake one of his past students made. It was like being back with my abusive parent again and having to tiptoe around one of their miserable moods. Then when I called the office to tell them the instructor was miserable the woman I spoke to interrupted me and started talking over me. I don't care how long he's been with your guys. That's not how you treat people. He did drive me home at the end of it. But I would have much rather he just treated me like a human being and left me at the meet up point, than treating me like garbage the whole time and then trying to make up for it later. I really wish I'd checked yelp before I booked this. I see some other bad reviews on here too. I'm so disgusted. Don't waste your time or hard earned money with these crooks.

If you are looking for the easiest way to learn parrallel parking; Michael Mallory has a point location system that always works to get you right into the parking space (without hiting any cone). It never fails! I call Michael the parallel parking MAGICIAN! lol I personally tried four different driving schools/instructors before coming to Pro City Driving School. I hate that I waisted so much money with other driving schools when I could have learned faster and easier due to Michael Mallory's instruction. Futhermore, My first test was in Wayne, NJ which is supposedly the easiet driving test site in NJ, but because I had a different instructor at the time (who was not as efficient as Michael), I did not pass. Thank goodness that right after this unfortunate event I contacted Michael (because of my older brother, thanks big bro)!. Here are a few things I would like to share with anyone who is searching for the right driving school for them: One, communication and being able to instruct/teach an individual without belittling or making the student feel insecure is extremely important. Positive instruction never fails! Two, allowing the student to make a minor mistake (one that is not life threating) that they can learn from is essential. So that on the road they can properly assess what ever situation that may arise; teaching them to become more aware/defensive drivers. Third, having an instructor who is fun/kind never hurts! These are all the attributes/intructions that I found and recieved from my instructor Michael Mallory. AND.......Guess what, as a result, I was able to pass my second road test at Randolf, New Jersey (which is said to be one, if not one of the hardest testing sites in New Jeresy) on December 17, 2015. I passed the test with flying colors, like putting icing on cake. The test was smooth and easy! Not saying that you don't have to put in the work because practice makes perfect (truly not a cliche). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME ON OTHER DRIVING SCHOOLS.. WHEN PRO CITY DRIVING SCHOOL...WILL CERTAINLY MAKE YOU A PRO AT DRIVING WITHOUT A DOUBT.
