Was a great memorable journey and process with Serge and later, his co-worker too.
As a native Dutch person, I had a very pleasant experience and interaction with Serge and his driving school, Zomer. I started taking lessons with him as a 34-year-old who had only taken 10 lessons at age 18 but didn’t feel ready for driving back then. I completed my theory exam last year. I found Serge through the CBR database and checked the reviews. After an introductory lesson, I knew he was very knowledgeable as a former truck driver, and I appreciated his approach and personality.
He’s straightforward in his teaching style, which might come across as strict, but it’s beneficial because you know exactly what will be expected of you during the final exam. The exam is not something to underestimate, and his approach prepares you thoroughly.
If you don’t take yourself too seriously, you can certainly enjoy good conversations and laughs with him on topics beyond driving. These humorous talks made the whole experience worthwhile and memorable, something I’ll look back on later in life with positivity and gratitude.
Earlier this year, Serge was working alone, which made scheduling lessons challenging due to the high demand. I had to book lessons about a month in advance, which he mentioned at the start. Later, he hired a new co-worker, Amar, who I also enjoyed driving with. Amar is kind and experienced, which added to the overall positive experience.
I’m writing this just three hours after passing my first final driving exam ever! I took a master package of 30 lessons (previously 40 lessons of 50 minutes each), and I can confidently recommend this driving school. If you put in the effort, you’ll have everything you need to succeed.
