Introduction
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!

I was truly lucky to learn how to drive with Mr Mohamed Elhadi. He is extremely professional, patient, and knowledgeable. Every lesson was clear, informative, and tailored to help me improve with confidence. He explained everything in a simple and calm way that made me feel safe and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor. You will definitely be in good hands.

Mohammad Elhadi is an amazing instructor. I was incredibly nervous about driving for a very long time but Mohammad’s lessons really helped my become more comfortable with driving. Before anything else he made sure I understood the very basics in our first few lessons; these included turning, breaking, making sure I understood how to obey stop signs and traffic signals as well as familiarizing me with the car, including making sure I knew where the turn signals, windshield wipers, hazard lights and headlights were as well as making sure I understood how to change gears, before slowly moving on to driving on the actual road. To help ease me into driving, we started with lower speed roads in low traffic areas within my local neighborhood, and as I slowly grew more comfortable driving, we eventually moved to higher speed areas and eventually areas further away which included driving on the high way when I finally felt comfortable enough to do so. He also made sure to teach me lane changes, regular and parallel parking, backing out, u-turns, three point turns, and entering and exiting roundabouts. If there was an area where I was struggling with he would often times dedicate our lessons to focus on that specific area until I felt comfortable performing the maneuver without guidance. I cannot recommend Mohammad enough. If you are a beginner, nervous about driving or simply wish to improve your own driving skills I highly recommend Mohammad. He is very calm and encouraging, and makes sure you are comfortable. If there is an area where you are struggling or simply want to improve he is very patient and walks you through things in a way that is easy to understand.

If you want to become a better driver, I 100 percent recommend booking with Mohamed. He made the learning experience not only enjoyable with his easygoing and charismatic personality but also highly effective by tailoring each lesson to the areas I needed to improve on. Within just a few days he helped me vastly improve my steering, parking, and presence on the highway. On top of that, he increased my knowledge base of the road by clearly explaining the rules of the road and prorating tips and techniques that I can apply. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Falls Church Driving School and once again, would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their driving!!!

I had an amazing experience with this Driving School, and I can’t recommend Mohamed Elhadi enough! From the very first lesson, he was incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable.

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.
