Shift Above 2 Roseland

My son just passed his test with Mike who is a brilliant driving instructor with the ability to teach practical driving skills and most importantly to inspire confidence. His calm manner and encouraging guidance helped him gain confidence. My son was very anxious at first but with Mike s clear and concise teaching he made him feel at ease. His patience when teaching my son helped him so much and he was able to bring on his driving very quickly to test standard. Highly recommended!

I completely my 6 hour program through Shift Above 2 and I felt well prepared with the amount of information they gave. Even though it felt overwhelming at first, Mike was super patient and explained everything every step of the way. For example, I thought I would be super nervous on highways when I started the program, but after my 6 hours I m more confident when driving at faster speeds and being a safe and responsible driver.

Working with this driving schools program and Mikes instruction style was the best possible option for me after multiple training with others. Being an adult who never needed to drive since I lived in the city and then realized a car is a better option in an Urban area, his lessons are clear and to the point and the instructor makes sure to correct any mistakes in a manor that is professional and thorough. He explains each maneuver, giving examples of real world driving and driving during the road...
Read full review test. He also answers any and all questions, spending the time to make sure you understand before moving on to the next lesson. He instructs you on parallel parking, familiarity with the vehicle, driving laws and safety maneuvers. I highly recommend working with this instructor.

Mike was a great teacher. I tried road test with no practice and didnt do good. My host family chose the school to help me better prepare for retry. I come from Thailand and never drove on right of road or park large car like in US. After my 2 sessions with Mike I did much better and he gave me more techniques to better perform overall and my parking. The pointers and techniques shown were not hard to follow after the few tries I did.

Mike was very professional and informative. He always spoke with me afterwards about how my teenager s lessons went and sent notes to her on what to focus on. He was also very patient and gave her the full time. I will be using Shift Above 2 for my other child,

I reached out to ShiftAbove2 to help me get back into the drivers seat after years of avoidance because of anxiety. Mike took me to an empty parking lot and gave me the chance to get a feel for what its like and treated it like a no-pressure situation. He definitely knows a lot about how driving anxiety can manifest and understands that it is different for every person!

We highly recommend Mike and Shift Above 2 for driving lessons. We first used Mike a few years ago when my daughter was learning to drive. We had originally signed up with another driving school and on the first lesson, that instructor was very unprofessional. She had my daughter, and another 17 year old, practicing together on the road, switching back and forth. I called to question the owner on this and he confirmed that she was not supposed to do that with two new inexperienced drivers who only...
Read full review had their permits. We switched over to Mike and Shift Above 2 and wished we originally started with him. He took a very nervous new driver and made her feel very comfortable and more secure in her driving. I had recommended Mike at least 3 different times over the years, and everyone has been extremely happy with him. We recently used Mike again for my 17 year old son, who is also a nervous driver, and Mike puts him at ease and makes him feel more confident in his driving abilities.

My second assignment in the U.S. as an aupair required more driving then my first and Mike was highly referred. The host family has teenagers and I mostly drive local or short distance during my first assignment. I needed more help being confident driving on highways and congested roads betwee n East Hanover and Morristown. The technic that I learned when doing on my own I felt comfortable and safer performing on my own. When I first was performing in traffic in higher speeds I was nervous but after a few attempts I was better doing it and became more comfortable.

I did my 6 hours with Shift Above 2 and it was amazing. Although I was nervous and unsure of myself when trying to control the car Mike made me comfortable and gave me the confidence I needed to learn the fundamentals of driving real world and being prepared for my road test. With Mike s professional and very personal instruction to me I feel confident that I will hit the road test out of the park when I take it. Mike s patience and experience really allowed me to feel safe while learning...
Read full review how to drive and comfortable with performing skills knowing that he always has me covered. Thanks to ShiftAbove2 and Mike I am now prepared to drive and control the car while I have my permit. And I strongly recommend this school and Mike to anyone who wants to learn how to drive

Mike is an excellent teacher. My vision is limited and Mike s instructions were very well-tailored to this. He was honest about my progress at all times and calmly told me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in a supportive way. As such, it was more than worth it to me to take a train into his service area from Jersey City after finding myself unsatisfied with the services offered by local schools.
