“Thanks to Matos, I just got my driving license this week. He is a professional and patient teacher and speaks perfectly English. I'd definitely recommend him.”
Chen Mao, Zaandam
“De Rijacademie is perfect driving school. The owner and driving instructor Matos Slaven is very patient, friendly and he really focuses on your success so you become a confident, good and independent driver instead of just passingthe test as quickly as possible. He will be honest in telling you where you are at and if you follow his instructions, you will succeed.
I've worked with him for the last 8 months and I can confirm he's been consistent, I'd recommend him without a doubt.”
Jolita Rukaityte, Zaandam
“This school is perfect! the lessons were in English (well, learned some Dutch words too:)), Slaven is very kind and patient teacher, every lesson you learn something new step by step. I have never drove a car before and was afraid of highways, but gained confidence and skills easily. Now I am a very happy and confident driver, passed the exam from the first attempt after about 30 driving hours and I am very grateful that I chose this school because I got not only driving license but also a good friend! Will recommend this school to everyone because the lessons are really efficient and worth the money. Top!” 
Yana Ledeneva, Zaandijk
“I am coming especially from the Hague to have classes with De Rijacademie! Slaven is indeed really good instructor. The classes are fun & I feel more confident in my driving skills after each class. Looking forward to getting my driving license soon !”

Our motto is to ''bring out the best in you!''

We believe in this motto because with the proper instructions and motivation anyone can achieve their goals. Just like passing the exam for the drivers' license, you will need the motivation and professional intructions. We do also believe that we have to have fun when practicing. Because this is the most positive and effective way to learn and accomplish our goals. That's why we set up a milestone every lesson. This makes the end goal within your reach.

The Driving Academy is focused on an individual level. 
Quality and the wishes of the student are paramount! We hope to get you interested in a free and no obligation lesson. This is because we want tot check if we are a match? Afterwards it is up to you if you want to join us. :)

Study

Let's be honest it is not rocket science. But it's not a piece of cake either. Please do study the material for getting the certificate. Without the certificate, you can't do the final exam on the road. We can provide you with help and materials if needed. Also if you need some more attention and help to pass the theoretical exam, we are there to help you out.

Practice

Practice is important so that you will be the kind of person anybody would give their car keys to. This without even thinking about it. It means taking some lessons and getting prepared for the final exam. You will be tested to see if you are a capable driver. A capable driver is a safe driver and fully independent on the public road.

Pratice is done in a BMW F20 and its like sheer driving pleasure;)

Skills


A number of skills are needed in order to succeed. We are talking about drivers who can drive on the road independently and completely autonomously, without any form of assistance. An average student spends 45 hours for this. We talk about intensive supervision and instruction of 40 hours and 5 hours of coaching towards the final exam. Driving lessons always depend on the students learning pace. This is the general guidline. What we do is custimize the lessons per students needs and this is paramount to succes.
