Yes, it's my job to teach you...

My 2002 teaching debut was with Young Drivers of Canada, and they trained me very well...

I still love turning client fear of driving manual cars into excitement!

​

My clients experience fun lessons for 'clutch finesse' & defensive driving in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I love hearing from clients--a solo 'manual' drive--passing an ICBC road test!

​

CLIENT SUCCESS fuels this “one woman, one car adventure” called Shifting Gears Driving School, that I started in 2009!

 

At 50, wrote Business Plan, evolving from Driving Instructor (7yrs) to Company Owner!

At 55, did motorcycle lessons, ICBC Class 6--full motorcycle licence, bought 650cc cruiser!

At 60+, volunteer as Church Council Chair, always learning new skills...

​​

Challenge YOURSELF to try manual driving lessons...to buy YOUR manual "dream machine" here, OR, rent a stick-shift overseas for LESS $$...YES, world beyond N. America still drives standards...

My Mission

Client success fuels this “one woman, one car adventure” called Shifting Gears Driving School.
