I can not even begin to emphasize how incredibly unprofessional and negative my experience driving with Marybeth was. To begin with, she showed up at my house 15 minutes early and sat outside (in my neighborhood) honking until I arrived. Once I went outside to greet her, she refused to even say hello, shake my hand, or listen to me tell her that I barely had any driving experience, especially on roads. We proceeded to drive through Downtown Saratoga Springs, where the traffic is extremely intense, more so now than ever due to track season starting. She would cut me off each and every time I tried asking her a simple question, and every time I tried to yet again explain I was both very nervous and inexperienced. She than began making fun of me and mimicking how poorly I would turn the wheel, asking me if I had read the drivers manual and telling me how she "already has had two migraines this week" from people who'd driven like me. She told me that I was rude when I began to cry and have a panic attack, and that I could not handle criticism, as she was "risking her life" to teach me how to drive. I terminated my lesson after what was not even 30 minutes, when I was supposed to receive 1 hour of private lessons. Marybeth was extremely impatient, unkind, and hostile towards me before I even entered the vehicle. I have no idea how anybody has ever had a successful lesson with her, or how she manages to stay in business if her job consists of her treating customers as she did me. I am clueless as to not only why she was so unwilling to teach me with patience and decency, but as to why she had such an unpleasant and unwelcoming attitude towards me from the moment I attempted at greeting her. I am beyond dissatisfied with the verbal abuse and insults I endured from a service I paid for. After posting about this experience on "Yelp", she proceeded to express publicly on the site how I am in need of "serious professional help" both "mentally and emotionally and with telling the truth". In addition to that, she insulted literally me as an individual, lied about the entirety of the situations dynamics, and insulted my parents over text. If you check other poor reviews of this "service", you can see Marybeth responding to them saying she will "pray for them", so she clearly can not separate her religious beliefs from what is supposed to be a profession. Do not spend your money here, as you will not receive neither professional or kind treatment. Read Less
