    Carmen was patient with my son and told him exactly what he needed to know to pass the test. Highly recommend!

The training was more knowledgeable than I anticipated. ​I initially felt anxious, but my instructor Mike presented the material in a way that it was more comfortable and engaging that the time flew by. The training was structured to address when I had some anxiety. I learned strategies to recognize my anxiety kicking in and prevent it from interfering with necessary maneuvers. This was genuinely helpful, preparing me significantly better than I anticipated. Highly recommend it.

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.

I used a school in queens that had my driver picking up FaceTimes while in the car with me. I was over it, figured I'd never do it. But I was also over losing my independence. Morristown isn't as walkable as queens. So I called A-1 Peck. Chris was my instructor and from the first day, he was wonderful. He knew my area was congested so he took me to a nearby town with wide, empty roads, to help me build my confidence. He was kind with corrections and never made me feel like I couldn't accomplish the road test. He'd listen to me complain, made great conversation, all while giving me the skills to not only pass, but drive with confidence once I got my license. (Chris also didn't look at his phone ONCE unlike my driving instructor in Queens). With Chris' help, I passed on my first try after 8 hours of lessons (plus one hour of review pre test). It wound up being inches of snow for my test, but he helped me navigate that so I wasn't totally blindsided. A-1 Peck has such a great reputation with the MVC, that my tester even commented on how nice of a person Chris is. Really, just a stellar, stellar experience. If I had failed the first time, I would have written the same review, because you know that A-1 Peck gave you the skills you needed. Just a note, there is a cancellation fee if you cancel lessons same day (I think 24 hours in advance is the limit) and book EARLY! This school is so popular that I was scheduling weeks out. Luckily I work from home so I'm flexible and could take less desirable slots, but if you need something specific, book WELL in advance. And ask for Chris!!

The driving instructor - Donald started by asking to many personal questions. I'm taking lessons to brush up what does it matter if I people around me and other questions As I drove I stopped a bit to hard well he just screamed at me. I then began to feel unsafe and wondered how he treated young drivers. If he didn't have patience and guidance what am I paying him for, my specific questions were addressed by telling me to read the driving manual. As I couldn't wait for the class to end, the car's tire had a puncture. We had to stop on the side of the road, well as soon as he got out he started cursing out loud as to why these things happen. It was quite a show. Once he finished and got back into the car he owed me 25 minutes because the lesson ended early. But he tells me next time he'll give me an extra 5 or 10 minutes. Needless to say I will never use this company again. If the driving instructor has no patience and handles problems that arise by screaming profanity all over the road, he has no business being an driving instructor.

For $125/person, I had expected better tasting food though. The small appetizers (spinach salad, prosciutto, Parmesan, olives) may have been put together from a grocery store. For the pasta that we rolled out, the staff only added a plain tomato sauce. The side of vegetables was overcooked and mushy. Tiramisu was all right. We can blame the taste and texture of the pasta on ourselves, because we made it, but I had expected the rest of the food prepared by professionals to be better. No drinks were included -- Healthy Italia is BYOB. There was a nice intro video from the owner telling us about her history and philosophy. She said that she doesn't measure ingredients, and only mixes by feel. How does one teach a cooking class like this? If someone is taking a cooking class, they are less experienced and need precise measurements and instructions. Our flour and water were measured for us, so I guess they do measure something. We were never told the measurements, so didn't have any recipe or any specific learnings to take home. I enjoyed the social time with my group, and especially the long table set out for our group in true Italian fashion. It made us feel like a big cohesive family. However, for $125/person, I felt like we could have had a true learning experience elsewhere or had a much better Italian dinner at a restaurant with drinks. In fact, on the subsequent evening, a few individuals from our group went to a restaurant and ordered similar items served at this cooking class, and the food was remarkably better. And yes, it was less than $125/person with drinks.
