About
First, students tend to be nervous at first so I begin with my student in a slow speed zone areas to make them comfortable and then gradually take them to higher speed zones. Also, I go over the basics to understand a little bit about the car. For example, students tend to oversteer in the beginning so we immediately address how to turn properly with the perfect measurements of what the turn requires. How to position your hand properly on the wheel during turning to insure full control of the vehicle. Additionally, we go over how to turn headlights, high beam, wipers, emergency signal, horn, front and rear defroster and changing gears to start the session!   Commentary Driving: being conscious of what you're doing on the road and extremely observant. It may have been a while since you have been conscious of your driving but I am going to help you narrate the process outloud by saying things like " that truck is getting close try to ease on gas a bit or that blue car is going too fast it will probably pull in front of us try to leave extra space. Clear instructions to make us safe on the road! I will encourage my student to make accurate judgements about what traffic will do and how to respond to it additionally we will discuss road hazards and what to do about each situation we face while driving! My education/training/experience: 1. Dmv Certified Driving Instructor 2. Education 114 Driver Task Analysis 3. Edu 214 Instruction Principles of Driver Education 4. Commercial School License 5. Re- examination certified for Dmv tests 5. We work along the social services for driving 6. Years of experience teaching Pricing: I'm very flexible in terms of methods of payments including: Cash, Cash app, Zelle, Venmo and checks all work fine How started teaching? My family always used to encourage me and say that I am a great driver and coming from a family of teachers so I decided to get certified and went to school and studied the courses necessary to become a driving instructor then got my degree and got certified through the Department Of Motor Vehicles and then started working with Falls Church Driving School and so far I trained over 5000 students. What types of students have I worked with? I worked with all levels of experiences from beginners to intermediate to advance. I trained people who are looking to learn driving for the first time and people who are looking to master their driving skills and become experts! Describe a recent event you are found of. Re Examination class for my students to retake their test in the Dmv and helping my students drive on a daily basis with different programs of training! What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise? Find an instructor who can stay calm under pressure and making sure that he or she can make you comfortable and learning in a relaxed and enjoyable environment! Additionally, making sure the instructor does not use the dual break and gas pedal frequently so the student learn to have full control over the car and become confident What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs? Having their learners permit or International License before enrolling and hiring me as their driving instructor!

Mohamed helped me convert my European driver’s license to a U.S. one.  After passing my knowledge test at the DMV, I looked for a driving instructor to help me pass the road skills test in their car. The first instructor I met told me that I needed a learner’s permit and to attend driving school and have an instructor checklist. This was completely different from what I was told at the DMV after taking the computer test. I tried to find a new driving instructor and finally found Mohamed. He explained the entire procedure to me, and we made a plan and started practicing. I liked Mohamed’s teaching methodology, coaching approach, driving techniques, and attitude toward clients. He did a great job of adjusting my driving habits to more effective driver through his techniques and unique and impressive teaching style! I passed the road skills test on the first attempt. Contrary to what some people say, the examiner didn’t ask me any questions about the rules. So, if you want to enjoy driving without stress, be safe driver and learn valuable skills Mohamed can make it happen. Strongly recommend!

Mohamed is a breathe of fresh air. I have had five different driving instructors over the years and Mohamed is best! I have always had anxiety around driving. My hands would literally shake on the steering wheel. At 30 years old I decided to conquer my fear and this has only been possible because of Mohamed. My family are friends are impressed with my progress and shocked that I was I able to overcome my anxiety. Mohamed is an extremely patient and thorough instructor. I would recommend him to anyone learning how to drive.

I highly recommend Mohammed! He is an absolutely fantastic driving instructor. Learning to drive was intimidating for me, but Mohammed's patience, professional and calm demeanor made all the difference. He explained everything clearly, never got frustrated, and truly helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. If you want a supportive and effective instructor, choose Mohammed.

I had a great experience at this driving school! Mohamed is a very effective, skilled, and patient instructor. As someone used to driving on the left side of the road, learning with Mohamed made me comfortable right side driving. He also improved my skills in parallel parking. He also provided me practical tips for driving tests, such as how to maintain an appropriate speed and lane control. Overall, Mohamed is an excellent instructor and I would highly recommend Mohamed and the driving school to anyone who wants to learn driving.
