I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Suzie! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. Her clear instructions and calm attitude helped me build my confidence and improve my skills with every lesson. Suzie genuinely cares about her students’ success and safety, and it shows in the way she teaches. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor—highly recommend her to anyone starting their driving journey!

I had a great experience with my instructor Suzie. She was incredibly patient, clear and made every lesson enjoyable. Her teaching has helped me feel more comfortable on the road and ensured I was prepared for my g2 test. Highly recommend!

Two of our young drivers recently completed the driver’s education program with Gear Up in St. Thomas. They both had a fantastic experience and successfully passed their G2 road tests, feeling well-prepared and confident.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel our next young driver’s enrollment. Gear Up handled the situation excellently, making the process smooth and stress-free. We will definitely return when our youngest driver is ready to take the program.

I had a pleasure taking lessons from the Gear Up Ed Academy. Hunter was my instructor. I had a great learning experience with her. She explains every thing properly, firstly on paper and then by making you do them, if needed she would do it herself for your understanding. Her commands are clear and perfect.

She prepared me for the test in every scenario. Taught & polished my 3 point turns, hill parks and parallel parks. Of course one would need to practice by themselves apart from the lessons. But she was very supportive of every thing. Before the test she made me relax and she walked through it all at the test centre with me. I would highly recommend her!

Can’t wait to take my Full G Lessons with her. Thanks again Hunter!

Took this to learn how to drive spent $800 didn’t learn how to drive at end of classes. Half my hours were taken away and not given back even tho I paid for them. Old lady who taught me didn’t teach me anything and lady who owns the place laughed at me in class when I got one question wrong don’t waste ur money here

Gear is a great program. The owner Suzanne was my driving instructor and made sure I was ready for my g1 exit test. I would highly recommend gear up for anyone that wants to be a great driver.

The actual drivers ed in class time was just amazing all in general. The instructor is very nice and knows how to keep people engaged and entertained. She explains things throughly and takes time on things that are needed.
The in car lessons is a great learning experience, the girl I had just had great energy and also explained things very well and talked me through everything, I didn’t have to question anything. I’ve absolutely loved my experience with gear up and am excited for my next lesson. Thank you gear up for everything you have done for me, you are putting me a great successful pathway.

There was not one time where I was displeased with the course I took through Gear Up. Though I had a difficult time during my lessons, she was always ready to adapt to any difficulties or obstacles that cropped up during our lessons. You can tell she values each of her students, she made sure I knew everything I was doing great at, but didn't forget to remind me when I was making mistakes. At the beginning of my driving lessons, I was hesitant and might I say a poor driver. Today, after completing my final lesson I can confidently say that I am such a better driver than when I started. Every single piece of road rule and driving technique has been thoroughly covered, ensuring that I am not only a competent driver but also a responsible one. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gear Up and Suzanne to anyone looking to not only pass their driving test but to become a skilled, responsible, and confident driver. Thank you for this incredible journey of self-improvement and road safety awareness!
