Really fabulous experience. Long story short / TLDR: I passed my driving exam on the first go!!!! I highly recommend Startnu rijopleiding. Honest instructor and company!!! I feel lucky to have gone through Arash's school. Originally I got a quote from a different but very popular Zaandam driving school and was told I'd need 30+ lessons, mind you I have been driving for 15+ years in another country. After I did my introductory drive with Arash, he noted my existing competencies and also what I would need to work on to adjust to local driving laws and etiquette. He quoted a range of driving lessons that were actually related to my level of experience and confidence (not even close to 30+). He also recommended a stellar theorie prep course. I have a lot of family in the Netherlands and have heard of and personally experienced negative and predatory practices of driving schools. Startnu rijopleiding is the opposite and stands as an example of what driving schools ought to be like - HONEST. Thank you thank you Arash, keep up the great work.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience! I had an amazing experience with this driving school from start to finish. The service was nothing short of excellent—professional, patient, and genuinely caring. My driving instructor went above and beyond, teaching with so much passion and dedication. I was thoroughly prepared for absolutely everything, even situations I didn’t expect would come up. Thanks to their guidance, I felt confident, capable, and ready behind the wheel. If you’re looking for a school that truly cares about your success and safety, this is the one. Highly, highly recommended!

Wish i could give more than 5 starts !!!! Had a fantastic learning experience with Arash. He explains the concepts clearly. He makes you drive a lot in exam area so that you get familiarized with roads, intersections, highway etc. He also records all the lesson. This helped me to learn from the mistakes. His tip about thinking out loud while driving was a game changer for me as it helped me to focus jst on driving without getting nervous. Would definetly recommend him !!

Great instructor! Patient and he speaks English well! 10/10 would recommend!
