An amazing experience learning to drive with Jawid! In addition to his professionalism, he is also a very calm, friendly, and patient instructor that provides clear guidance that not only helps you to pass the practical exams, but to also make you a good and competent driver! I would definitely highly recommend anyone to book your driving lessons with him.

Jawid was instrumental in helping me pass my driving exam. He is an exceptionally skilled and patient driving instructor who combines professionalism with approachability. From day one, he understood the challenges of transitioning from Indian traffic culture to the structured, rule-heavy environment of the Netherlands. He identified my key development areas early on and worked with remarkable consistency to help me internalize them. He placed strong emphasis on improving my blind spot checks, ensuring I followed the Dutch-mandated “rear-view mirror, side mirror, over-the-shoulder” sequence until it became second nature. With his guidance, I developed better pedal control to navigate manoeuvres such as merging, parking, and exiting motorways safely and smoothly. What truly sets Jawid apart is his ability to explain complex driving principles in multiple ways until the concept clicks. His patience, clarity, and calm demeanor make every lesson productive and stress-free. He is firm when necessary, especially when it comes to safety, yet always balances this with a friendly and encouraging attitude. His feedback is constructive, his expectations clear, and his approach ensures consistent progress without ever making the student feel pressured. If you are an expat with prior driving experience looking to pass the challenging Dutch driving exam, save yourself time and stress by choosing Jawid as your instructor.

Highly recommended! Jawid is an excellent teacher! Very patient and clear, always open to answer all my questions, even the silly ones. For someone who thinks that could never drive in NL and hates driving like I used to do, i’ll say: be open to learn, trust his advise and experience and one day you will say: geslaagd! Many thanks Guide2Drive

Jawid is a very direct and practical driving instructor. He speaks excellent English, so not speaking Dutch well is not a problem at all. I already had previous driving experience, and thanks to his effective guidance I was able to get my driving license on the first try after just 10 lessons. My experience, from enrollment to getting my driving license, was smooth and stress-free.

I would enthusiastically recommend Guide2Drive to anyone looking to learn how to drive safely in the Netherlands! I'm an American with 19 years of automatic driving experience, but I took lessons with Jawid to learn how to navigate Dutch traffic situations and drive manual cars. He provided clear instructions in a very calm, patient manner, which immediately put me at ease. He is fluent in multiple languages and provides a stress-free, practical environment to become comfortable with driving here. His lessons are great for anyone, but I can personally attest to Guide2Drive being the perfect choice for expats of any background!
