WORD exam preparation

Driving the actual exam routes, so exam day isn’t the first time you see them.

  • Odlewnicza
  • Bemowo
  • Grójec
  • Garwolin

Individual lessons

Parallel and perpendicular parking, fast-traffic roads, night driving, difficult conditions — a programme built around whatever you need right now.

I also run refresher driving lessons in English, at the same price as in Polish. This is my start in teaching in a foreign language, so I treat it as a shared experience — if you’re looking for someone with years of practice in English, also check out Instructor Khaled’s offer.

Lessons are also available in English and Arabic — taught by instructor Khaled as part of ALP.

We usually meet around Wawer, but if the commute doesn’t suit you, just message me and we’ll agree on another spot. Message or call to arrange a time and details – the longer you put it off, the longer the stress waits for „someday” :P

Category B instructor

About me

Hi, I’m Michael. I’ve been driving since I was 18 – my father was also a driving instructor, so in a way I grew up „behind the wheel”. Before becoming an instructor I built up broad experience driving all kinds of vehicles: taxis, box vans, refuse trucks, gritter-snowplows, street sweepers, excavator-loaders, and category C+E trucks – rigid trucks with drawbar trailers and articulated combinations. Since 2026 I’ve also added motorcycle riding to my licences and experience.

I’ve been working as a category B driving instructor for almost two years. I know the exam routes at Odlewnicza, Bemowo and Grójec very well, and I’m currently getting to know the Garwolin routes as I go.

I also teach in English

I’ve recently started running refresher lessons in English too. I’m right at the beginning of this, so don’t expect perfect fluency from me — I see it as a shared experience with the student. If you’d like to practise the language along the way, with no pressure and no judgement, you’re welcome to book.

I teach so you understand the rules, not just repeat them

I try to explain all the rules and exam techniques exactly as they’re written in the actual laws and their annexes, so you understand not just how to pass the exam, but precisely what the examiner is looking at when assessing your driving – so you know exactly what the exam rules are, what earns a pass, what counts as a minor fault, and what causes an instant fail. I like this angle, because it teaches you a bit from the examiner’s side rather than just as a candidate – you know your rights during the exam.

Exam routes

I know the exam routes very well, especially at Odlewnicza – students sometimes take their actual exam on the exact route we practised, doing the manoeuvres in the exact same spots. Then Bemowo and Grójec, and finally Garwolin – the one I’ve had the least chance to drive so far.

  • Odlewnicza know best
  • Bemowo know very well
  • Grójec know well
  • Garwolin still getting to know

Coming back to driving after a break?

If you already hold a licence but haven’t sat behind the wheel in a while – you don’t need an exam on the horizon to practise with me. Many of my students come back to driving after years away – after having a child, moving city, or simply not having had the opportunity – and start out feeling unsure or stressed at the very thought of heading out onto the street. Together we rebuild your confidence at your own pace: from quiet residential streets, through parking and manoeuvres, up to busier traffic if that’s what you need. No judgement, no rush – just real practice to help you feel at ease behind the wheel again.

Atmosphere during lessons

With me, lessons run in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, while staying professional about the actual teaching. I don’t like rudeness, so I’m not artificially nice either – I try to just be myself. I have experience working at Babska Autoszkoła with all kinds of students – the vast majority were happy with how I taught them. I try to keep things friendly, because we do spend a good few hours – sometimes dozens of them – behind the wheel together, talking about more than just driving – for some people it even turns into a bit of therapy, once they trust me enough to open up.

Best wishes to all my students – those who’ve already passed, those still preparing for their exam, and those who simply came to brush up their skills. I hope you all have a long, safe road ahead.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

How much does a refresher lesson cost?

160 zł per hour: 2 hours is 320 zł, 3 hours – 480 zł, 4 hours – 640 zł. A 10-hour package costs 1500 zł (150 zł/h). At the additional meeting spots I add 15 zł/h for travel — the schedule shows the exact price next to every time slot.

How long is one lesson?

Between 2 and 4 hours. The 10-hour package is split across several sessions — we agree the dates when you get in touch.

Do I need a driving licence?

Yes — refresher lessons are for people with a valid category B licence, which you show me before the lesson. You don’t need an exam coming up: it’s enough that you want to brush up your skills or get back behind the wheel after a break.

Where do we start the lesson?

Usually in Wawer. At the main meeting spots there’s no travel charge: Będzińska / K&M Park, Zerzeń / DoubleTree by Hilton and Ferio Wawer. There are also additional spots in other parts of Warsaw (listed in the Contact section), and another place can be agreed by phone.

How do I book a lesson?

In the schedule, sign in with a code from your e-mail (no password), pick a meeting point, the lesson length and a time, then send your booking — the slot is provisionally booked, and I confirm it by e-mail, text or phone. You can also just call: +48 690 360 164.

How does payment work?

Once we agree the date, you pay an 80 zł deposit by BLIK to 690 360 164 (or a regular bank transfer if you prefer), and the rest before or after the lesson. There are no online payments on the site.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before the lesson — the deposit moves to the new date or I refund it. If you cancel later, the deposit may be forfeited. Details in the Terms of Service.

Do you teach in English?

Yes, at the same price as in Polish — I’m just starting out teaching in English. If you’re looking for an instructor with many years of experience in English or Arabic, see Instructor Khaled’s offer (ALP).

Do you run a full category B driving course?

I also run courses, but at another driving school. If you’re interested, please get in touch. Refresher lessons on their own aren’t a driving-school course, so I don’t issue certificates for them — a receipt is available on request.
