HYBRID DRIVING SCHOOL

Gigi is an incredible teacher - I’m a really anxious driver, I have my license but needed to practice how to drive before a trip and my husband was already taking beginning driving lessons from her, but she offered lessons for highway driving as well in 90 min increments.Some highlights:- We drove through so many of the different highways around Queens/Long Island (the LIE, GCP, Whitestone, Van Wyck among others). We didn’t waste a lot of time before doing so either, I felt as though my level and needs (including my time frame) were well accommodated- She also reviewed some basic driving skills that I lost (correcting my wide turns) and even practiced with me in the early evening/the rain - She is such a professional teacher. Very direct when a situation is unsafe, with clear explanations of what happened in the moment, but also warm and caring in her teaching style. Having gone to other driving instructors in the past, the hardest way to learn for me is when I’m told I’ve done something wrong 5 min later, or when the instruction itself just feels harsh my own hypercritical self feels like giving up. Gigi is not that. Her own focus, groundedness and calmness affects you in a quiet and good way.- The rates are more than fair, taking into account how crazy it is on the highways here, incl potholes, trucks, hazards (construction, the sudden unanticipated reckless driver), let alone how good the instructor is and the improvement I experienced myselfAlso an aside for anyone considering this, I thought I’d be stuck in traffic most of the time but it was decently okay in then early evening (5-7pm period) and weekend afternoon, though mornings would probably be better. It felt very productive.I’d recommend Hybrid Driving School to anyone!
