He had gloves on, and had just wiped the whole interior down with antibacterial cleanser. I felt completely comfortable in terms of covid. We met in Rock Creek Park. He was very friendly, calm, and thorough in his teaching techniques. His overall calmness kept me calm and gave me confidence, while learning such a new skill that ended with me on the road, in real traffic. I took the 4 hour full-course (best way to do it in my opinion). Tovo started with the basics, and didn't move on from one thing that I was learning until I was comfortable with it. We worked on starting out in first gear around the parking lot. Then we worked on second.... then a stop sign, and so on. After a couple of hours of learning, I was on the road, in real traffic. I thought I'd be panicky and scared, but Tovo kept his cool the whole time, which kept me calm and able to focus on what I was doing, and make logical decisions as we went. It was a great experience, and I am now completely able to drive on the road with a manual car. I highly recommend Stick Shift Driving Academy, and I highly recommend Tovo!

Before my lessons with Mr. Ish, the only driving experience I had as a 36 year old was some parking lot practice, and a one hour lesson with a different school (which I didn't think was very helpful so I didn't continue). I took 5 lessons of 2 hours each (10 hours total) with him and found him to be an incredibly patient and supportive instructor. I had a lot of anxiety going into the whole process, and his calm presence always put me at ease and made me more confident. When I would make a mistake like making too wide of a turn into a streeet, he would point it out but also ask me why I did it that way. It felt like he really wanted to get to the root of the issue to help fix it. In the case of turning too wide, we realized that I was misjudging the distance of my car from the parked cars on the street. This thoughtful approach really helped diagnose and correct issues as they came up and it was so satisfying to visibly see myself improve. His approach to teaching parallel parking was super clear, and I was able to confidently parallel park during the test, and have now also done it in relatively tight spots on DC streets! He also recommended doing a last lesson right before the test in the Deanwood neighborhood (where the DMV test takes place). This was great advice, and Mr. Teddy accommodated me for a pre-test lesson on short notice. I used the school's car for the test, which was helpful since I was familiar with it. The day of the test there was a really long wait at the DMV and Mr. Teddy waited with me patiently and was also really supportive. All the communication and reminders from the school about lesson times, locations were timely and clear, Mr. Ish was always on time for picking me up, and it was just a seamless experience end to end.
