Wij zijn Rijschool Ross en zijn uitgegroeid tot een familiebedrijf in en rond Den Haag. Al onze medewerkers zijn gecertificeerde rijinstructeurs.
Ik ben Niermela, al meer dan 17 jaar een toegewijde en professionele rijinstructeur in Den Haag en omgeving. Ik geloof dat iedere leerling uniek is en daarom een persoonlijke aanpak verdient, afgestemd op leerstijl en tempo. Mijn leerlingen waarderen het dat zij serieus worden genomen en duidelijke, gestructureerde begeleiding krijgen.
Met ruime ervaring in het begeleiden van expats begrijp ik hoe uitdagend het kan zijn om buitenlandse rijgewoonten aan te passen aan de Nederlandse verkeersregels en exameneisen. Ik herken oude patronen en help deze stap voor stap te vervangen door veilige en zelfverzekerde rijtechnieken.
De lessen zijn niet alleen gericht op het behalen van het rijbewijs, maar ook op het ontwikkelen van blijvende verkeersinzicht en verantwoordelijkheid. Flexibel, betrokken en resultaatgericht zorgt voor een prettige leeromgeving waarin iedere leerling kan groeien en slagen.
Mijn naam is Ross en ik ben al 6 jaar rijinstructeur bij onze rijschool.
Ik hoor vaak van mijn leerlingen dat ze het waarderen dat ze serieus genomen worden. Iedereen is anders, dus ik vind het belangrijk om mijn lesmethoden af te stemmen op het individu. Flexibiliteit is essentieel tijdens het lesgeven.
Onze rijschool wordt regelmatig bezocht door expats. Zij hebben vaak hun eigen rijstijl van vroeger. Het is een mooie uitdaging om deze patronen te herkennen en ze indien nodig aan te passen. Samen met de leerling leer ik de rijstijl die nodig is voor het examen in Nederland. Andere leerlingen moeten hun rijgewoonten flink aanpassen. Het is leuk om hen op een creatieve manier les te geven.
Mijn naam is Arwin. Als jongste binnen onze familie ben ik de nieuwste aanwinst van ons familiebedrijf. Ik ben 25 jaar oud en geef inmiddels al zes jaar met veel toewijding rijles.
Al op jonge leeftijd raakte ik geïnteresseerd in het verkeer en de geldende verkeersregels. Tijdens autoritten luisterde ik aandachtig mee, wat de basis vormde voor mijn passie voor autorijden en het lesgeven. Deze interesse is in de loop der jaren verder gegroeid, waarna ik ervoor heb gekozen om van mijn hobby mijn beroep te maken.
In mijn lessen staan structuur, duidelijkheid en persoonlijke begeleiding centraal. Met geduld en aandacht begeleid ik leerlingen stap voor stap richting het rijexamen, met als doel hen veilig, zelfstandig en vol vertrouwen aan het verkeer te laten deelnemen.
De rijlessen worden voornamelijk verzorgd in een nieuwe, handgeschakelde Hyundai Kona.
Graag verwelkom ik u in de auto
Stap voor stap helpen we je bij het behalen van je rijbewijs!
EXCELLENTBased on 38 reviews Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Naqib KhaliqiThe female instructor demonstrates considerable enthusiasm during her explanations.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Ella StephensI highly recommend Ross driving school for expats (and Dutchies) to pass your driver’s license exam! Niermela was very thorough and explained the Dutch rules very well. I felt prepared for the exam and passed on my first go!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on aldo hasibuanI was with 2 different schools and had to stop because of so many issues e.g. with the English of the instructor, the payments, the scheduling, etc. I was about to give up on my license but gave Ross Driving School a chance. I am glad I did, since because of them I got my license in 2 months with only 1 attempt! I did drive already in my home country, but on the first lesson already Ross showed me so many bad habits I need to eliminate, particularly relying too much on other road users to cater for me on the road. Ross was stern and direct, but not mocking or letting you down. His English was also native level, allowing you to discuss with him complex topics and make it easier to resolve your doubts; this was a huge issue for me with many other schools where they claim to speak English but it turns out it's broken and it's hard to maintain a conversation. Ross even brings hot wheels to simulate parking, traffic flow etc. which really helps me with all the issues I have. He even also teaches me things that are not directly about passing the exam e.g. car maintenance, tips on buying/leasing once you got your license, showing that he cares for his students and not just about making them pass the exam. He is also adaptable; he adapts to the student's personality e.g. introvert or extrovert, and adjusts his teaching style tailored to the student. He presents a clear plan on what each lesson will be about, making it easy for me to prepare beforehand. Contrary to many other schools, this school is very flexible with money matters and payment, making it much easier for me to trust them. Before the exam, I also took lessons from Arwin and in general have the same positive experience as with Ross. Regarding exam scheduling, I was also able to get scheduled for my exam within 2 weeks, which was impossible to get with other schools; they would keep saying I need to wait 3 months because it is busy etc. Niermila even offerred me out of the blue an exam spot in a few days, since my original exam was too early in the morning, so that i can focus better! This again shows that they really care for their students, beyond just getting them to pass. I really highly recommend this rijschool, especially for expats who look for English instructors. Thank you very much Ross, Arwin and Niermila! I am now a much better and independent driver than before!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Nick VietnieksWriting reviews isn’t something I normally do, but Ross Driving School truly deserves it. I’m originally from Australia and have been driving for over 25 years. Recently, I had to go through the Dutch CBR examination system to obtain a driving license, which meant adjusting some of my long-standing driving habits. My trainer, Arwin, did a fantastic job in guiding me through these changes and preparing me to pass the exam. Arwin is highly attentive and tailors the training to your individual needs, focusing on what will truly help you succeed. Whether you’re a brand-new driver or an experienced expat adapting to Dutch driving rules, I can highly recommend Ross Driving School!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on luigi bellancaI just passed my driving test! 🎉 Huge thanks to Ross Driving School for helping me get there. The instructors were super patient, friendly, and made every lesson fun and stress-free. I went from nervous to confident in no time — highly recommend them to anyone learning to drive! 🚗💨Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Yen LeI came to Niermela after failing my driving exam four times, and I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor. She immediately spotted my weaknesses and guided me with patience, care, and so much attention to detail. What I love most is that she didn’t just teach me how to pass the exam — she taught me how to be a safe, confident driver in the future. She always reminded me how important it is to know how to drive on my own, and that gave me so much confidence. I also had some lessons with Shivana and Arwin, which were really helpful and added so much more to my learning. Niermela is such a strong yet sweet woman — honest, thoughtful, and always encouraging in the right way. She truly cares about her students, and I feel so grateful to have learned from her.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Karan PappalaI passed my driving exam thanks to Ross driving school. Nirmala and Arwin are great instructors. They helped me understand how to drive, what to look out for and keep it safe. They strive to help you correct your mistakes. I would definitely recommend them to get your driving licence.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Marina AydynI’m so glad I got to learn from Niermela, Arwin, and Shivana. They are great instructors who made driving feel easy and safe. After struggling at another school for a year and failing my exam twice, I passed my test here in just two months thanks to the clear lessons. See you on the road!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Linda MaI had a great experience learning with Niermela and her team.
