Gastenboek

I studied at Ruud Rutten and recently got my driving license. I passed the practical test on the first try, as well as the theory test. I was "lucky" to take lessons during COVID time, so it took it a bit longer than I expected. Plus I'm a person who needs more time to understand new things. As I'm a newcomer in the Netherlands I don't speak Dutch well enough yet, I needed an instructor with knowledge of English. I was recommended Maurice. Maurice is a great teacher. Always with humor and at the same time strict as much as necessary - he is always careful to make sure you are doing everything right despite the friendly conversation. Maurice is a very good psychologist and is always able to readjust to the particular mood of the student. As I was able to notice that with different students Maurice communicates differently, he is very good at adjusting to different people's communication and learning styles. For me driving lessons were not like school lessons - I always knew that I was going to do something enjoyable in pleasant company. I feel that it is right and important to learn how to drive, not only technically but also psychologically. Maurice does a great job of that. Maurice has a lot of driving experience and he has taught me a lot of things that you can't read in books. Maurice tells me first what to do, then less and less and so on until the prompting is no longer necessary. I have no experience with other instructors but I felt very comfortable with Maurice, nothing to complain about. Communication is very good, Maurice is always available during working hours. I haven't had to communicate much with Ruud Rutten, and it only took a couple of times to cancel or change the schedule. I have not had any problems, I don't know what to say, very nice and friendly people. The cars are in good technical condition. The school has a very handy phone app that has everything from theory to reminders for the next classes. Overall, I am very satisfied that I chose this school.
