Autorijschool van der Pluijm

I found it surprisingly hard to find a driving school in Leiden that offered lessons in automatic car and in English, so Jeffrey came highly recommended to me. I had a very good experience and passed my driving exam on the first attempt. Jeffrey is thorough and rigorous, with high standards, and he really pushed me to drive properly and confidently — no shortcuts. He’s reliable, always on time, communicates clearly, and explains everything in a calm, structured way. Highly recommend — passed in one go!

It was a great experience to learn driving from Jeff! He is very easy going and knows how to help students improving driving skills. I will give a big thumbs up for this autorijschool.

The best driving school by a mile. I have 3 tests, got stuck with a school that wasted my time & money & came to Jeff. While the others wasted my time & more importantly money without giving me any plan or hope. Jeff adopted me, nurtured me & gave me the best coaching & mentoring not only to pass the test but ti become a good & responsible driver. He is a great method instructor who plans for you, keeps track of your progress & hammers in key principals. If you want an instructor that can get you your driving licence then this is your best shot.

Im not exactly the typical driving student: Im not exactly young; I don't always feel confident behind the wheel; When Im stressed, Dutch isn't easy. I simply dont fit the cookie cutter mold. Jeffrey and I discovered that early on, and he adapted the way the driving lessons work, to better fit my learning needs. We would redo the bits I didnt do correctly. He would point out left and right when I needed it. And when I was stressed out from work, he always made sure we had fun. Ive seen Jeffrey grow as a driving instructor and even as an entrepreneur. To the point where he now takes on more mature students, students who are shy or scared, and English speakers. When I passed my driving exam, earlier today, nobody was happier for me or more proud of me, than Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is a good instructor who has a high standard and forced me to drive perfectly. Passed in one go! He is realiable, always showed up on time, communicate well, and he can teach in English!
