Mike "Schumacher" Georgiev
Driving School Instructor
“I am Mihail Georgiev, the founder and lead instructor of Formula 1 Driving School.

I believe that driving is not just a technical skill, but a responsibility that requires patience, focus, and precision.”

Service Foundations: The Mike "Schumacher" Approach
- Uncompromising Honesty: Mike chooses to be absolutely honest about your progress. He will never intentionally delay your training to increase profit; he prefers to tell the truth even if it means losing a client.
- Old School Discipline: Expect strict monitoring and practical assistance. As an “old school” instructor, Mike provides sincere feedback rather than constant praise. If you do things right, you will be praised—but if you fail, you will know exactly why so you can correct it and succeed.
- The Teaching Trend: Every aspect is explained in detail following a proven method: Theoretical Explanation -> Joint Exercise -> Supervised Solo Practice.
- Tailored Strategy: He creates a custom strategy for every student to ensure a first-time pass with the fewest lessons possible.
