Level 3
High-Power Vehicle Training
- Perfect for: Vehicles over 250 Horsepower
- Level 3 is where you get prepared for the power and sensitivity of sports cars and heavy duty trucks. The basic mechanics of a 250+ vehicle are the same, but the big difference is in pedal control. You’re going to need precise shifting, rev matching, and power management so that you protect your clutch when getting the lead out. But even more important is managing all of that power at low speeds. Feathering into a parking spot can be tricky when you have a massively powerful engine under the hood. Your instructor will pay extra attention to pedal control, focusing on toe heel and feathering the clutch so that you maintain smooth and steady control at low speeds. The last thing you want to do is accidentally lurch forward and scratch your bumper.
$500 for 4 Hours
($125 per hour)

About Me
Hey, I’m Yosef and I’d love to help you learn to drive a stick shift. Here's a little bit about me:
What I Love about Stick Shift
I've driven manual cars all my life. I love engaging with and being connected to the machine. Manual cars provide a high level of driver input and demand not just your focus as an operator but your enthusiasm as a user as well.
My Experience Teaching Stick
My older brother taught me how to drive stick, and I in turn have taught my two younger brothers. It's a bit of a family tradition. It's incredibly satisfying to pass down knowledge and witness the student's skills develop in real time.
My Other Teaching Experience
I've had the pleasure of tutoring college level writing and editing. I've also taught some people how to play guitar.
I pride myself on my capacity for patience and general calmness which when put together make for a relaxed and casual learning environment.
