I just finished the sensibilisation course and it was very dynamic and informative. If you are looking for an English speaking driving school to do your theory, this is it!

I wholeheartedly recommend My Driving School. I did my first aid course and the driving theory course here and they were extremely professional and helpful. I was also lucky enough to take driving lessons with Daniel and Corinne and thanks to them and the team of instructors at My Driving School I passed my driver’s exam successfully on the first try. I have to say Daniel in particular is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had. He is so helpful, insightful, patient and kind. I fully recommend following the steps for a Swiss driver’s license with My Driving School. :)

Even though the theory course was not mandatory, it was extremely helpful, the teachers systemised all the information, gave useful tips and comments.All teachers and staff members are very friendly and helpful.

Sebastian is a great sensibilisation teacher, keeping the entire class motivated and focused throughout the 4 hours. The class was really interactive and interesting - I absolutely recommend this driving school for English speakers!!!

I had my “sensibility” (that’s how they call it in French) classes today with Mehdi, and dare I not say, it was a great experience! He really cares about what he says and is a serious and hard working individual, making us do group projects etc to be more “connected” to the class! It was great, it might be 4 hours long each lesson but you cannot feel it and it is fast! Thank you so much for this great experience!
I took driving lessons at My Driving School to prepare for the practical exam needed to exchange my foreign driving license for a Swiss one. Kevin was an excellent instructor - very friendly, flexible, patient and has taught me everything I needed to know to pass. Previously I also attended a first aid and theory courses here as a refresher - everything was well organized, engaging and very informative. Highly recommend!

I was so happy to go with My Driving School for my driving lessons. For me as an expat, it is necessary to have a few driving lessons here as it is so different from where I came from. I had a few lessons with other instructor from a different school before but it was not a pleasant experience. I was glad to find Kevin as my instructor. My special thanks to Kevin for all of his helpful lessons. He was calm, friendly, supportive and informative. I strongly recommend Kevin and My Driving school. Many thanks again and wishing you all the best.

You pay and then you get no email or anything. You have to call up for your receipt. Don't even bother missing your course by being sick or having an accident or urgency at the last minute, as they won't refund or reschedule you. This is in the terms and conditions that they do not send out along with your receipt or any proof of payment. You have to call them to state your existence. Highly unprofessional on the phones as if I had offended them to ask where my 160CHF for a first aid course gets too, like I was taking a bone off a dog.A pity, as there is a theory and a practical to bank thereafter and it seems this company just likes bones.

From total novice to passing the practical exam first time, I could not have achieved it so quickly without MDS. First aid, theory & sensibilsation courses were all informative and delivered in a clear and fun way. Kevin is an excellent and patient instructor and I will miss our lessons, also many thanks to Sébastien for accompanying me to my exam.

I wanted to exchange my foreign licence and was quite rusty so I booked some lessons, it was a great decision! Kevin was very helpful and patient, I practiced a lot on my own but I don't think I would have passed it without his guidance. He was also very kind when I got nervous. The last day I also had a lesson with Mehdi and he's also quite nice and gave me some final tips. It was a great experience, easy booking and great communication. Totally recomend the school!
I needed to transfer a foreign driver license into a Suisse one. I used Mydriving School services and I highly recommend it.Kevin was an excellent driving instructor, I took several driving lessons with him. He helped me improve my driving skills, aligned them to Suisse driving regulations and also provided emotional support throughout the process. The day of my practical test I was very prepared, and feeling very confident. I successfully passed my practical test.I highly recommend this place

I came across my driving school through the recommendation of a friend, and it was a wonderful experience! I did a permit exchange Chinese to Swiss, and had Kevin as my instructor. It’s someone who is very experienced, patient, and most importantly, cares about his students’ success. I accidentally broke one of their tires once, and had to leave immediately afterwards for work, but he took care of it with no complaints. Strongly recommend them👌非常棒的驾校,专业,教练也很有耐心!强烈推荐。

I have a South African driver's license that needed converting to a Swiss one through a practical test. I booked with Kevin at the My Driving School in Augustin as he is fully bilingual (English+French). He was a brilliant teacher. Very kind and patient but also strict enough about me achieving an acceptable driving level in Geneva to make sure that I felt fully ready and confident before taking my exam. I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone wishing to take a few lessons before converting their license. He's an excellent teacher.

Wow! What an awesome school!Teachers are great at teaching, very professional, respectful but also extremely patient and understanding. Moreover, they try their best to be flexible with scheduling and pick up spots!I had an amazing driving teacher, from the moment I stepped into the car he made me feel so comfortable, totally safe and he made it fun. I passed my driving test on the first try and today I am one of the most confident women on the road, I can’t even express how happy I am!I highly recommend them to anyone, they are the BEST in Geneva and furthermore, it’s good value for money.
I had the pleasure of being taught by Slim, and passed first time.Slim was a fantastic teacher, who was clear with instructions and the techniques; and I improved quickly under his guidance. You can really tell that Slim cares about his students and his passion stands out for wanting them to succeed and also be responsible drivers.

I did my theory classes here which were great, and started driving lessons with Nabil after — he is absolutely the best.From day one, he aptly assessed my strengths and weaknesses on the road, and developed a road plan for success on test day (and beyond, really). Within two months, he diligently and patiently helped me go from being nervous about driving, Geneva roads and the Swiss driving test, to a confident driver who actually enjoys driving. He is an excellent teacher — he prepares you for all scenarios, is kind but firm where needed.Moreover, he is genuinely a wonderful person who cares about his students — he even drove back from his vacation for just my exam afternoon to ensure I felt prepared and everything went smoothly. I feel lucky to have had him as my instructor — I couldn’t thank him enough for the supportive and positive learning experience. I highly and unequivocally recommend Nabil to all!

i just passed my exam yesterday, i still cant believe that i did it from my first attempt, i do think it was only possible thanks to My Driving School and my instructor Slim, who was so patient with me during the last 6 months. He is so dedicated to his students and their results really matter to him. He is maybe a bit too strict sometimes, and his constant corrections while you are driving can almost get on your nerves :), but believe me it is all worth it, because at the end you will feel that your exam was so much easier than driving with Slim:) i highly recommend

Slim is the best instructor ever!!! He was funny, relaxed, but firm. Rules were there to be respected and he taught me every little one with a lot of comprehensive explanation. He was so generous with the time, his real aim is that you pass the exam from the first trial, and he will prepare you like anyone else. I strongly recommend you to have Slim for your instructor and rent a car from him on the day of your exam. He will pass with you all the critical points one hour in advance, which will give you even more confidence. Thanks Slim!

Slim was simply the best driving instructor. He really took the time to explain things and invested a lot of time and effort into our classes. He was generous with his time and was patient with me when I struggled. I really believe he is the reason why I got my driving license the first time. I highly recommend him!

Slim is the best instructor you can find and hope for !! He is super clear in his teaching and very patient. He really takes his students' interest and success at heart. He helped me to overcome my fear of driving and gave me the best advice on how to make progress. Thanks to him, I successfully got my driving license. I can only recommend Slim!

After completing my sensibilisation course with Slim, I started to take driving lessons. Although I had driven my parents’ car, so had a basic understanding of driving, I had no idea how to prepare for the *Swiss specific* exam. Slim, in basically 2.5 weeks, completely transformed me as a driver and prepared me excellently for the exam. He prepares you for the toughest of examiners, and trains you at a level higher than the exam, so you are more than ready to pass on your first try. A very genuine and kind person, and will always support you on your driving journey, I couldn’t recommend Slim more!
