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.

First off, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Though I found it surprising that only the chat was…read moreused instead of the common microphone and face feature, it was more engaging and productive. Most people always tend to strongly dislike online classes, but this class not only helped me improve my SAT skills but also gave me a new perspective on standardized testing! My instructor, Marquisha Parker, was super kind and humorous at the appropriate times and yet also gave you a variety of insight, tips, and feedback for extending and improving my approaches regarding specific reading and math questions. Admittedly it was very fun, and the entire experience felt less intimidating and more like the type of environment that promotes growth! You were always provided with a concise amount of feedback and critique that was very helpful and made you understand why you felt challenged or made a mistake. At times there were situations where we missed a large portion of class time due to other students' technical issues, and they seemed to have not been addressed properly. ( I personally did not have any ) Overall, my experience compared to other online classes was of high quality. Specifically entailing an awesome, funny, caring, and understanding instructor; understandable tech issues, and simply memorable. ( plus the range of students' nationalities and origins was diverse!)
