Jan-Willem is a very calming and understanding driving instructor. Although he himself is a very anxious man, he brings a sense of calm into the lesson that makes it so much more welcoming and comforting to learn how to drive. Our initial contact with one another made it clear that I would want this man as my driving instructor, due to my lack of understanding for the Dutch language and his difficulty with English made it so that Jan-Willem told me to find another driving instructor for my own benefit, this signified to me that he always wants the best for the newcomers to the roads of the Netherlands. Therefore, I told him that I wanted him to be my instructor. Giving extra attention to the things that I struggled with and giving great feedback both positively and negatively was what truly made me develop my driving capabilities. After a lot of laughs, great conversations and listening to some awesome music 🤘, I unfortunately failed my first exam, this was a shock to Jan-Willem because of how I normally drove. After this fail, Jan-Willem was very reassuring and emphasised that I can do this, he then proceeded with going through every issue that I had during my exam and put me to practice during my following two lessons. We had some comical issues on our way to the second exam, but that didn't stop us and we made it through with a pass! Thank you very much, Jan-Willem. Keep on rocking!
