I began my training with Walter in April 2025. Walter has been an exceptional driving instructor. At the start of every session, I would tell him about the areas I was struggling with, and he carefully planned each lesson around that. He always took the time to clearly explain my doubts and helped me improve step by step. His positive feedback and encouragement really boosted my confidence. Walter truly goes above and beyond to support his students. If you're looking for a patient, understanding, and skilled driving instruct... read more
My wife gave her driving test here along with a warm up session. Her instructor was Walter. To say the least he is truly a great instructor. He shared invaluable tips with her before the test which helped her pass the test with ease. He is also very friendly and kind. Even five stars would not be enough for him. We would highly recommend Walter to all our friends for any future lessons and tests.

Before starting, he made sure I felt at ease, which really helped calm my nerves. During the warm-up, he shared many great tips that proved invaluable during the actual test. Overall, I had an amazing experience, and I highly recommend Walter as an instructor for anyone learning to drive in the Bellevue area.
