Who it's for

  • You've never been behind the wheel.

How the training works

Not “fast on paper”, but a managed process with a clear result.

  1. 1. Diagnostics on the first lesson

    We assess your level, fears, mistakes and goal to understand what you really need.

  2. 2. Individual plan

    Online theory, the training ground, routes and manoeuvres — matched to your level and goal.

  3. 3. Practice without chaos

    Every lesson has a clear topic and mistake analysis in real city conditions.

  4. 4. CSDD preparation

    Typical mistakes, stress, exam routes and confidence before the exam.

About Roman

I teach calmly, without shouting. My goal is for you to understand the road, not just repeat commands. I work with complete beginners and with people who need to refresh their skills or prepare for the CSDD exam.

Calm

No pressure, no shouting — an atmosphere where you can actually learn.

Clear

Every lesson has a clear goal and we talk through every mistake.

To the point

Real routes and situations that help at the exam and in real life.

What I offer

Mastering the basics of driving and preparing for the CSDD exam step by step.

City driving

Safe driving skills in Riga traffic, at complex intersections and manoeuvres.

Licence replacement

Preparation for replacing a foreign driving licence with a Latvian one.

After disqualification

Restoring your licence after penalty points or drink-driving, and preparing for the retake.

Большое спасибо Роману за грамотную подготовку к практическому экзамену. Уроки всегда проходили в комфортной, веселой обстановке. Освоила все сложные маршруты, перекрестки, а главное, парковку. В конце каждого занятия подробно и спокойно объяснял все допущенные мной ошибки, всегда разбирали всю теорию и знаки. Очень благодарна за такого прекрасного инструктора и наставника! Рекомендую!

Благодаря Роману я сдала экзамен категории В. Отличный инструктор, подготовил меня к экзамену практически с нуля. Уравновешен, хорошо объясняет, терпелив. Не безразличен, переживает за результат ученика. Нет нервозности и напряжения в процессе обучения. Когда сдавала экзамен, то не было ни одного незнакомого маршрута, абсолютно все были проработаны с Романом. Настоящий Профессионал – рекомендую!
