Tried a couple of times to ask questions about their driving classes, once in person and once over the phone,. Both times we were told to just look at the website.

Suzie was awesome during the in-class. All the information that one has to know with regards driving are all covered. For my in-car training, I had Vivian as my instructor and she is beyond awesome. She went way beyond and even did overtime just so I will practice my driving just before my road test. I passed the G2 road test during my first take and that was because of her patience and clear demonstration of the safety and how to’s of driving. Thank you ????

The 20 hours at the building were fine, that's pretty regulated. What was unacceptable was the overall experience with the in car sessions. Not only did she take almost a YEAR to complete the sessions with me, but her communication and teaching was at many times contradictory and confusing, which was very frustrating and not helpful at all.

BEST PLACE TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. Classes are awesome. Suzanne does an amazing job teaching. She uses different teaching strategies such as films, reading, writing, group work, etc., everyone is always involved! I drove with her daughter Hunter. Hunter was the best... such a good drivers instructor! She made me into a great driver. Hunter and Suzanne give a lot of instruction, and they are beyond supportive! If you don’t get something the first time, they will try different strategies with you. I recommend Gear Up to anyone looking to get their licence through DriversED!

Upon completion of approximately 20 hours classroom training "magically" coordinated within a matter of DAYS (upon full payment), your teen will have to wait 3+ months to complete only 10 hours of in-car training. Do your homework and find somewhere reputable that has the integrity and resources to provide you the service you have paid for. This "school" also attempted to negotiate a pick up and drop off spot (other than school or home) for my child's in-car training, after advertising buyer beware about the same practice. Save your money.

I would not take a lesson from these people based on my experience with one of their cars in St. Thomas last night. We have were stopped at a light and the Gear Up car was turning left. We were pointed north and as soon as the east/west light turned red, and though our light was still red, the Gear Up car advanced through the crosswalk and began turning before our light turned green.

I recently completed my G1 Exit Exam and my experience has been nothing but fantastic with Geared Up. The in-class portion is both engaging and informative and I found that those 20 hrs went by really quickly. I had Hunter as my driving instructor for the in-car portion and she is amazing! She's really accommodating if you have school or busy with work and she makes the in-car a positive experience. If you are a nervous novice driver, she's a definite must for the in-car. And for those wondering, I passed on the first go! I highly recommend giving Geared Up a try!

All 3 of my children attended Suzanne's school, Gear Up Drivers Ed and thoroughly enjoyed Suzanne's unique techniques of teaching! Her classes are informative while fun and geared - no pun intended- to our children. In fact, I have changed some old habits thanks to Suzanne's knowledge, experience and expertise. Gear up is a school I strongly recommend for our new drivers!
