I had the pleasure of taking lessons with Stacia as an adult learner and I couldn't have asked for better instruction. She has a very systematic way of teaching, gives helpful advice and analogies, and instills confidence in your driving. All of that combined with her pleasant personality makes her phenomenal at what she does.
