    So glad I chose 1 Act for my driving lessons (wanted a refresher). Thank you Jamaica for making…read morethe lessons a great learning experience. Professional and full 2 hour lessons.

    I signed up for a risk reduction class in December with the classes beginning on Monday, 1/12/26. I…read moredidn't receive the link until Friday 1/9/26 explaining that a workbook was needed (physical or virtual). I requested a physical workbook due to my eyesight and was told to be at the Duluth office to pick it up on Monday by 4:00 (they are not open on weekends) on the day of the class (1/12/26). I left work early and arrived by 4:00 only to find they were closed. I was told the office manager left early and I had to view the workbook electronically. That was just the first red flag. I realized early in the class that the instructor did not seem to like me by his responses to my answers to some of his questions. I was trying to show that I was present and participating, but he was condescending and he belittled/berated me if he disagreed with my responses. By the last day, he questioned in class if the children that I work with even like me (the classes are recorded). This was personally not a positive experience for me. I would not recommend. Finally, the communication appears to be primarily via text messages, and the beginning of the thread seems to be automated (at least over the weekend) since I asked questions that were never answered and the responses were generic. It asked if wanted to participate in another program, but when I asked what it was, I didn't receive an answer. If you text them with issues during the week, an actual person will respond, it just takes a while.

    If you told me that I'd be zipping through the streets of Atlanta after a two-hour lesson with…read moreGraham, I wouldn't have believed you. But I did...and it was awesome! Learning to drive a stick used to be way down on my bucket list--somewhere between visiting all 50 states and crushing grapes with my feet. That is, until my car was totaled. My dad offered up his extra car but the catch was that it had a manual transmission. The second catch was that I needed to drive it from Louisiana back to Atlanta. A quick Google search turned up Stick Shift Driver Training. I called and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Even though the school is based in Canton, they have the flexibility to do the lessons in various locations. We agreed to meet up in Roswell near 400. We spent much of the first hour in the parking lot of a local mall. Graham gave me a quick lecture on the mechanics of stick shift driving before I ever put key into ignition. He said it was important to understand the impact the clutch, accelerator and brake have on the engine. Then he taught me a variety of skills before I left the parking lot: Getting into first gear Shifting through each gear Stopping the car Parking the car Getting into reverse Once I mastered those concepts, Graham let me out on the road (Holcomb Bridge Road and nearby residential areas) where I learned more: Downshifting Driving hills (starting from 0 MPH on hills) Recovering from a stall Sure, maybe I could have saved $180 by watching YouTube videos or finding a friend to teach me. But online videos couldn't answer my questions and friends would only be so patient with me grinding their gears and bucking their car like a bronco. Graham went over each drill in painstaking detail and coached me along until I felt comfortable. His Chevy Cruze was specially equipped with dual controls. The fact that he had three pedals on his side of the car helped calm my anxiety about driving the local streets. It meant I couldn't crash the car even if I'd tried. In two hours, I didn't become an expert by any stretch but I was capable enough to safety drive the car to Atlanta. For that reason alone, I would highly recommend Stick Shift Driver Training to anyone who wants to quickly learn the basics of driving stick.

    Im not sure what happened with these other two 1-star reviewers on here but either Graham was…read morehaving a bad day or these two are just trolls or were trying to get lessons for free. FYI: I was a past student of Graham, am not affiliated with Graham's classes or program in any way, nor am I being paid or asked to write a review for him. In fact, my classes with Graham were many years ago and I never bothered to write a review until I saw these very skewed reviews that painted a completely opposite experience of what I received with classes with Graham. Background I decided to finally learn how to drive a stick shift after years of watching all of the drivers on the road in their STis, Evos, and Mustangs ride up and down Peachtree Industrial enjoy their ride. Learning something new is always fun, and at any age, you can pick up learning a stick shift, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Maybe I can still relive a little bit of my youth and have some fun on the road, so with Google, I found Graham's driving school. The Instruction: 5/5 Graham's classes, while not cheap, are very personable and 1-on-1, as he works with you whether you're a complete beginner like I was or someone just needing a refresh on driving skills. If youre a beginner like I was, you'll start in a parking lot where you wont have to deal with other drivers, learn parking, turning, and how to drive smoothly. If you think driving a stick shift is like being in The Fast and Furious (and even Graham will tell you), you're living in a movie. Once your basics are done, you'll move onto the road, but you won't have to worry about safety as Graham has his own controls on the other side to make sure you dont get into mishaps. In total, I took 3x 1.5 hour sessions with Graham and found it to be enough to get on the road. After taking classes, the key is to practice as every car's clutch bite point is different. Finding your own car's bite and timing gives you the right to call your car "yours" (and maybe give it a special name) The Instructor: 5/5 I've thought Graham as friendly, professional, and considerate. Yes, like another reviewer said, he will take a call here and there as he does operate his own business, but you'll be practicing something during class so as long as you don't freak out and relax just keep on whatever you were being asked to train on during the class. Graham was very accommodating to rescheduling classes and he always called in advance to confirm. I didn't write this review until I saw these other lower ones because that is not the Graham that I took classes with. Bottom Line If you're starting out with driving a stick shift, whether it's for fun or because of your job (valet), know that you won't start your classes by mimicking what Dom or Brian does in the movies. If you want to do that, go buy a Logitech stick shift and pedlas and a copy of Need for Speed. If you are looking for a solid instructor who knows what he's talking about and can teach you to become a stick shift driver, Graham is the right guy for you. Good luck to you and keep stick shifts alive.
