I had a great experience with this driving school and I 100% recommend Marius as an instructor. He is extremely patient, calm, and warm, which makes learning to drive much less stressful and far more enjoyable.

Marius explains everything clearly, never rushes, and always makes sure you feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. His supportive attitude and professionalism truly make a difference.

If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress, Marius is the perfect choice.

Very friendly and patient instructor! :)

I had such a great experience with Marius while learning how to drive! A friend of mine recommended Marius to me, and I’m very grateful they did, as I’m now recommending him to my friends and family who are learning to drive too! :) Marius is a very friendly, patient, and honest instructor.

I had some experience with another instructor before, who made me feel very stressed because they weren’t patient enough and made me feel bad for my mistakes. As a learner, you really need that extra patience and reassurance. With Marius, you will not have any bad or stressful experiences, he talks things through and explains them calmly. If you make a mistake at a particular junction, he will be explain to you what was the mistake and will redirect you to go through it again so you can learn and build confidence.

Marius also has a really nice, easy-to-drive car with lots of modern features, which makes learning much easier, you don’t have to battle with a car that’s difficult to handle or not functioning properly. I only had about 20 hours with Marius before I was test-ready (although I did have a bit of practice with my mum at the very beginning as well).

Marius explains everything clearly and doesn’t hold back your progress. If you pick things up quickly, he’ll move forward and focus on improving your weaker areas instead of repeating what you already know. I gained confidence quite quickly, had a lovely overall experience, and I’m super happy and proud with my pass now! Huge thanks to Marius for teaching me to be a confident and safe driver!

Highly recommend

I highly recommend this Marius. The lessons were productive and well structured. I feel a lot more confident driving and making decisions independently, and managing controlling the car whilst planning ahead. I was prepared for what to expect on the test and the steps I needed to take to succeed and was able to pass first time.

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with my instructor! He was patient, calm, and incredibly supportive throughout every lesson. His explanations were always clear and easy to understand, and he knew exactly how to build my confidence behind the wheel.

What I appreciated most was his ability to turn stressful moments into learning opportunities without ever making me feel judged. He created a relaxed environment where I could improve at my own pace, and I genuinely looked forward to each lesson.

Thanks to his guidance, I feel safe, prepared, and confident as a new driver. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly, and reliable driving instructor!

Platon Driving School is simply the best! Thanks to them, I’ve become so much more confident driving on the road. My instructor is extremely patient and calm, always guiding me step by step and encouraging me to improve. He not only teaches you how to drive safely but also helps you become the best version of yourself behind the wheel. I couldn’t recommend this school enough!

Disappointing Lack of Professional Courtesy

After completing about half of our lessons, communication from the instructor ended abruptly. They did not provide an update or respond to my messages, effectively terminating the lessons without notice. I understand that circumstances can change, but a simple, upfront message is the bare minimum of professional courtesy.
I wish them well.

Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your feedback — I really appreciate it. I also want to apologize if at any point my response seemed unprofessional. However, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to continue lessons due to your repeated refusal to follow instructions and argumentative attitude.

The critical point was during our last lesson, when you challenged my decision to stop the car in an aggressive manner, despite the fact that it was necessary to prevent a potential accident. This behavior made it clear that we are not a good match for further lessons.

I hope you are able to find another instructor whose approach works better for you.

Kind regards,
Platon Driving School Team

Amazing driving instructor!

Marius has been a fantastic driving instructor I couldn’t recommend him more! I was so nervous to start having had a long break from driving, but Marius was very reassuring and patient with me. He gave me lots of great tips and advise explained things thoroughly and made me feel really confident. Booking in lessons was very easy and flexible as well which worked great with my schedule.

Thank you Marius!

Marius is a friendly and encouraging instructor

Thanks to Marius’s support, I went from being terrified of driving to passing my test in just 1 month. He’s really friendly, patient, and always made me feel comfortable during lessons. Before learning with Marius, I really struggled with the clutch, it knocked my confidence and I developed a lot of anxiety around driving, so much so that I avoided driving completely and eventually ended up switching instructors. Learning in Marius’s car made a big difference (the biting point is lower which made it easier to manage), but more importantly, his teaching style really helped build my confidence back up. He never made me feel bad for making mistakes and was always so encouraging. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone, especially if you’re feeling nervous or struggling with confidence

Best driving instructor

I am very happy and grateful for having Marius as my driving instructor, from day one he was very respectful, calm and polite, always helping me and being understanding even when making mistakes. If any of my friends or family would be interested to start driving lessons I would recommend Marius every time knowing they’re in good hands.

professionally and efficiently prepares for the driving test

Very professional attitude of the instructor to his work. Marius is really interested in your good result. If you pass his mock- test, then the driving exam itself will seem like an easy car ride around the city. I recommend Marius to everyone who is not afraid to hear a truthful review of your abilities and and to everyone who desire to be trained professionaly- just follow his advice and everything will work out.

Great instructor, worth every lesson

Marius has a really good way of explaining things—clear, easy to follow, and straight to the point. His communication made learning feel simple, even when it came to tricky parts like maneuvers or roundabouts. I picked up useful habits that helped me feel more confident on the road with every lesson, and thanks to his support, I passed much sooner than I expected. Definitely someone I’d recommend to anyone serious about learning to drive properly.
