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 love turning client fear of driving manual cars around 180 degrees, into excitement!
​
My clients experience fun, action-packed lessons that include smooth clutch work and defensive driving skills. Imagine doing 100% smooth uphill starts, perfect parking and safe left turns at lights; then master these skills in-car, in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
​
Client success fuels this “one woman, one car adventure” called Shifting Gears Driving School that I started in 2009! At age 50, I decided to write a business plan for my passion project!!
​
​I love getting calls & texts from my clients after their first solo standard drive or after passing their ICBC road test in a manual car!
​
Why not try a lesson? You may just buy your manual "dream machine" or rent one overseas on vacation. The world beyond North America still drives mostly standard shift...

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