About us

CEO / Driving instructor
Team member since: 1997

Being a driving instructor has always been my dream job. I already knew at the age of 15 that I wanted to follow this path. When I got my first driving license, my own driving instructor inspired me and I thought: I can do that too! Since then, I have worked hard to make this dream come true.

I began my career as a driving instructor in 1990. Seven years later, in 1997, I founded my own driving school, the S.O.S. driving school. After so many years, I am still passionate about what I do and work hard to help each of my students pass their test successfully, quickly and with pleasure.

“Being a driving instructor is not a job, it's a passion. You have to want it and put your heart and soul into it.”

Hey, I'm Ritschi and I've been a driving instructor for category B and BE driving licenses since 2012. I started working as a motorcycle driving instructor in 2019. I made the decision to become a driving instructor at the age of 18, inspired by my great driving instructor who encouraged me to do so. I am passionate about teaching and passing on my knowledge in order to support and advance my learner drivers in the best possible way.

In my driving lessons, I place particular emphasis on providing instructive experiences that help students develop a confident driving style. With my patient, open and humorous manner, I create a relaxed learning atmosphere in which the focus is on having fun driving. My aim is not only to prepare my students for the test in a stress-free and entertaining way, but also to prepare them for future situations in everyday traffic after they have obtained their driving license.

Away from the driving school, I enjoy motorcycle tours and occasionally take part in racetrack training, which reflects my passion for the profession as a driving instructor. I look forward to discovering the joy of riding together with my students and guiding them safely on the road.

I'm Philipp, and my passion for cars has been with me my whole life. As a trained automotive mechatronics technician, I have always been fascinated by technology and vehicles.

There are already driving instructors in my family, so I came into contact with this profession at an early age. I enjoy dealing with people and imparting knowledge. I really enjoy teaching others.

I make my driving lessons particularly enjoyable and instructive. With a mixture of calm, patience, humor and a relaxed atmosphere, I make sure that my students not only learn to drive, but also have fun doing it.

In my free time, I enjoy sports and love exploring the roads on my motorcycle.

I have been working as a driving instructor since 2002 and have been happy to be part of the S.O.S. driving school since 2008 and to accompany our learner drivers on their way.

Team member since: 08 / 2004

I have been a driving instructor for all driving license classes since 1994 and part of the S.O.S. driving school since 2004.

My decision to become a driving instructor came from my own driving instructor, whom I greatly admired. Her great work motivated me to take this path.

I tailor my lessons to the needs of the learner drivers. In theory lessons, it is particularly important to me that everyone participates and that the lessons remain lively and interactive.

I particularly enjoy giving motorcycle lessons.

I first trained as a carpenter, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do this job for long. After that, I spent four years in the army. When I visited my former driving instructor, he gave me the idea of becoming a driving instructor myself. Since then, I have been fully absorbed in this profession.

I think this job is exciting, varied and always challenging.

“Being a driving instructor is the most interesting thing you can do for a living - if only because of the many different people you have to deal with every day.”
