Fantastic experience: We recently signed our son up for Behind the Wheel and Observation. Salim is incredibly responsive, and he provided us with all the information needed to ensure our son was ready for his license. His friendly approach made us feel totally at ease right from the start, which is a wonderful thing to feel as a parent. We noticed our son’s confidence and comfort on the road visibly increased after working with Salim. If you're looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and approachable driving instructor in Northern Virginia, we highly recommend Salim of Kids First Driving School!
