A driving school built around you.
Rijcoach has helped people across Haarlem, Heemstede, Hoofddorp and Amsterdam get their Dutch driving licence since 2012. We're not a factory with rotating teachers — you get one fixed, English-speaking coach who learns how you learn.

Our approach
A good instructor teaches you to drive for life, not just for the exam. That means real coaching: reading your driving style, following your pace, and building genuine confidence — not drilling you through a checklist.
Founder Rob Nijdamspecialises in exam nerves and driving anxiety. If the test scares you, you're in the right place: we've guided hundreds of nervous learners to a calm, first-time pass.
- One fixed, English-speaking instructor
- Honest advice — we tell you what you actually need
- Transparent all-in pricing, no surprises
- Training on the real CBR exam routes in Haarlem
“A good instructor teaches you to drive for life, not for the exam.”
The team
