I would like to say a huge Thank You to Calin L., I passed the driving test today, really happy the way he is teaching you, pushing you to carry on even if you want to give up, as there were such moments. Really good instructor, recommended 💯

I was able to pass in my first attempt thanks to my instructor Calin L. who was very patient and helpful throughout my journey teaching me all i needed to know, and with the support of Mike's Way driving school. It had its ups and downs (driving was a bit scary haha), but overall i was able to learn everything at my own pace and made steady progress leading me to feel pretty confident when it came to the big day!

Passed my driving test yesterday on the first attempt, and that's thanks to my excellent driving instructor, Mr. Calin L. The guy is very knowledgeable and professional, teaches you real-life scenarios and how to react, and what I really like about him is his straightforward way of teaching. And also fun to talk with. Many thanks!

I passed my driving test today on my first attempt! Big thanks to Mike's Way Driving School and especially to Mr. Jamil. He was calm, patient, and explained everything so clearly. I started off with poor driving skills, but he helped me gain confidence and improve quickly. Highly recommend this school and Mr. Jamil is the best!

As a complete rookie and a slow learner, I was really nervous about starting driving lessons. But Calin made all the difference! His endless patience and calm, reassuring attitude helped me build confidence behind the wheel, even when I struggled with the basics. He never made me feel rushed or embarrassed about mistakes-instead, he broke everything down into manageable steps and celebrated my progress. What I appreciated most was how adaptable he was to my learning pace. Some concepts took me longer to grasp, but Calin always took the time to explain things clearly and repeat exercises until I felt comfortable. His encouragement and positivity kept me motivated, even on tough days. Thanks to Calin's supportive teaching style, I went from feeling anxious about every lesson to actually enjoying driving-and I passed my test! If you're a beginner or someone who needs extra time to learn, Calin is the perfect instructor. I'm so grateful for his kindness and expertise.

Passed first time, thanks to my wonderful instructor, Calin L, very patient, resilient and encouraging. I enjoyed my lessons with calin, and ended up with the best possible outcome (A PASS!)

I had Calin.L as an instructor and because of him I passed my driving test on my first try today! I've had 60 hours of lessons with Calin and I started off not knowing anything. He was extremely patient with me as I am quite a slow learner. We started off on slow quiet roads but progressed quite quickly to much bigger obstacles, like roundabouts and dual carrice ways. The best thing about Calin is definitely the fact that he is patient with you but also pushes you to progress. He's very clear with his instructions and gives criticism very well and clearly to help you improve. I was recommended mikes way driving school by a friend and I do not regret my choice one bit. Even if it is on the pricier side I believe this driving school and Calin as an instructor are the best option out there. Thank you!
