Роман настоящий профессионал в своём деле, прекрасный педагог и наставник. Благодаря Роману сдал экзамен по вождении в Риге .
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!
